Lifestyles of the poor and married - take 1

As far as date night goes, Michael and I are not that creative. 

We like movies. 

We like food. 

Occasionally, we like bowling.

But mainly movies. 

Michael and I are currently in super save mode in hopes of buying a house soon. 

Which means we are pinching every penny. 

We budgeted zero dollars for entertainment for January.

 I am so BORED.

Seriously, I almost want to slap Netflix in the face.

(I could never do that, we have gotten too close.)

So, we decided to be creative and come up with ideas to improve our chilly evenings indoors. 

Which leads up to our first economical escapade.

Michael had been asking for cookies for days. 

Rather than me being in the kitchen for 30 minutes by myself, we blindfolded Michael and I gave him instructions to make the cookies.

This was seriously so much fun. 

…and slightly dangerous...

…and really messy…

 Michael is really good at cracking eggs blindfolded.

I wish that was a more transferable skill. 

Michael kept telling me I had to stop shoving cookie dough in his mouth without telling him. 

"I CAN'T SEE!"

He looks so happy. 

Victory!

I had to clean up the mess since I was the guide.

The cookies were actually quite tasty and we got a lot of laughs out of them!
