Individual Pizzas and Free Karaoke
Posted by Kate under: Kate .
This weekend I was kicked out of my apartment for about six hours while my fantastic roommates planned quite the birthday extravaganza for me, complete with decorations, dinner, karaoke, cab fare, and cake and ice 
cream. It was the most fun that I have had in a long time, but I was a bit concerned about how much money they spent on the whole deal.
Three and a half hours of belting out Roberta Flack, that song about staying and going, among many many others, may seem daunting to mere mortals… but not to the pop stars that I went out with on Saturday. Those hours in our private karaoke room cost money though, and they still won’t tell me how much. Next time maybe I’ll get them to consider using the free trial on The Karaoke Channel. Then we would save the cab fare too!
But I will say that their idea to make individual pizzas for dinner was pretty thrifty. It was just a cheap and delicious combination of a box of pizza crust mix, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Susan made one of her beautiful cakes and Kara cleaned (!!!) then decorated the house with streamers and flowers. But my favorite part of the night was free: sitting in the living room talking, laughing, and just generally being ridiculous with the girls. Priceless.
One Comment so far...

This was very helpful. I have been looking for fun things to do with my lady friend. She is the frugal sort so this will look like I planed this myself. Thanks for a great idea. How cool.
