On Friday I read in the paper that it was National Popcorn Day. This brought the biggest smile to my face, and I knew that I would definitely be celebrating this special day!
I LOVE POPCORN!!!
The Mr. and I were already planning to see a movie that night, so adding popcorn to the mix was an obvious next step. Except that for us, it really wasn't that obvious. You see, when we go to the theatre, we have usually just eaten supper, so we try really hard to resist eating more food.
But since it was National Popcorn Day, we decided to forego supper, and eat the popcorn instead. What a brilliant plan! It's a win-win: I don't have to make a meal and I get to eat popcorn. Why have I never thought of this before???
When I arrived at the theatre I was so excited. Who knew the promise of theatre popcorn could make the evening out so much more enjoyable?
I chatted with a couple of cute teenagers who were on a date. They were eating their free popcorn -- provided to everyone with a SCENE card -- in honour of this special day. They told me they weren't even going to watch a movie, they just came for the free popcorn. I knew they were kindred spirits!
To make the evening even more perfect, I brought my own milk. Nothing tastes better to me than popcorn with a glass of milk. Mmmmmm!

P.S. Note to self: get a SCENE card!
