Life had been super-crazy busy at home for the past few months. Kate and her husband, Rambus, rarely saw each other anymore since they had purchased $25 for $50 worth of home technology from The Sharper Image. Their home was starting to look and sound like Best Buy, and she was tired of hearing all about Google Music and how Rambus had dreams to turn their house into a nightclub. She had even resorted to writing him $50 worth of old-school love notes on personalized stationary for all occasions to capture his affection once again.
But tonight…tonight would be different. It was date night.
To prepare for the momentous occasion, Kate dropped the kids off at Grandma’s house with truckloads of kids craft packs, building systems, wooden books and floor puzzles purchased at 45% off. She also gave Grandma $40 to spend on children's clothing in case Grandma needed a drink and wanted to let the kids get lost at the mall.
No date prep is ever complete without a trip to the salon for a massage, facial and mani/pedi, so Kate headed there immediately after getting rid of the little hooligans. Then she drove across town in her 2013 Ford Escape for a haircut and choice of glossing treatment, color or partial highlight ($100 value).
Kate noticed that people started giving her strange looks as she bought $30 for $65 worth of lingerie from Biatta Intimates. “Is that for your wife?” people started snickering behind her. What is going on? Is it my nails? Do they still look too manly? Kate wondered for the next 20 minutes. She decided that with the money she saved on house cleaning services, she could afford up to 52% off acrylic nails or mani-pedi to fix whatever was wrong.
Date night was quickly approaching, so she jetted back home across town. Feeling confident after her day-long makeover, Kate strutted into the house to surprise Rambus before their date.
She was greeted with a look of shock and terror on Rambus’s face.
“Honey, I love you, but you look like Bradley Cooper, the sexiest man alive in 2011! What did you do today?!” Rambus said.
Sigh.
Kate replied, “The spear of destiny strikes again. I can’t go out in public like this! How ‘bout we cash in our coupons tonight for the shooting range package for two instead of dinner? We can have a romantic conversation about the White House shooting and internet censorship over a few rounds of fire.”
Sigh.

Even though the much-anticipated date night didn’t turn out as Kate had planned, she wouldn’t have had it any other way.
And that's the Real Dealio!
