Book Club Combo: Dinner and a Movie Night

Paging the Book Club:

I need some input this week.  Let me know if you're coming, and what your vote is for the options below so I'm not left stranded alone at the movie theatre with nothing but highly caloric popcorn to comfort me.

I've looked up showtimes for Wednesday night, and the schedule isn't exactly working in our favor if we're sticking with our normal Book Club timing... so there's a few ways we can play this.  Give a holler and let me know what works for you.

The movie is at 6:30 and is two hours long, so we're looking at an 8:30ish end time. The only other movie time was after 8 and good night nurse, that would mean a post 11:oo bedtime and I'm just not sure I have it in me.  If you're game, let me know.  But I'm running with the 6:oo plan...

Option 1: Pull an early meeting and do dinner at T.R. at 5:oo then go see the movie.

Option 2: Slam a PB&J at home with the kids, then meet at the theatre between 6:15ish-6:30 and go out for dessert or coffee afterwards at TR or Coldstone or... [insert good post-movie restaurant here].

Option 3: Meet at Coldstone for ice cream at 5:45 (who says we can't just eat dessert for dinner?) and see the 6:30 movie.

Option 4: Meet at Jimmy Johns at 5:45 for a not-so-gourmet but still delicious and conveniently faster dinner then go see the 6:30 movie.

What I'm trying to say is...I don't think we'll have time for dinner at TR and still make the movie if we meet at our normal time around 6, and I'm tossing a bunch of ideas out there because I'm not sure when hubbies or babysitters will be available to watch the littles and we might need to fly by the seat of our pants this month and switch it up a little bit. =)  Let me know what works for you, and we'll nail down a plan in the next 24 hours.

Heads-Up: movie tickets are going to cost your first born child's college education, so plan accordingly. $9.50 unless you have an old college ID laying around or you have a grey wig and can get in as a senior. =)

Also...bring some book recommendations for May and June!  We'll pick our next two books Wednesday night!

All this willy-nilly planning for this month is going to give me a stomach ulcer.  I promise next month we'll have a solid plan long before the week of Book Club.  My sanity depends on it.

Shout out to *Pam* who will be spending next week in Florida!  Am I the only one wondering why she didn't invite the Book Club ladies to join her?!?! =)

Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
