Day 5: Take someone to the movies

My fifth task in the 30 days of kindness challenge involved me taking someone to the movies.

Sounds easy, right? Not so much.

I made a few calls and everyone was either busy working or at holiday parties. I considered taking myself to the movies, but to be honest, I didn't feel like sitting in a theatre.

So I went to a movie theatre close to my apartment and stood outside. My plan was to find someone and buy them a movie ticket. The suggestion actually came from my mother (thanks mom!)

Two teenage girls walked up to the box office and ordered tickets for Catching Fire. I explained to them and the ticket teller that I was participating in the 30 days of kindness bootcamp and that I would like to buy them their tickets for the movie. They stood there looking at me like I was crazy for a few seconds but then realized I was serious and said "this is so cool! Thank you!!"

I also passed along my favorite movie theatre "snack tip." Put your Milk Duds IN your popcorn so they get a little soft. It's the perfect mix of salty and sweet! Trust me, don't diss it until you try it!

I then went home and watched my favorite holiday movies "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "The Holiday."
