r53 starting problems

About 2 weeks ago I tried to start my car and it just clicked..I figured that it wasn't a big deal and I probably let something eat up my battery. I was able to jump start it and drive with no issue. Last week the same thing happened and I figured that I again left something on and let it die. Over the course of the last week I have been very cautious in making sure nothing is left on. Then today as I am waiting at a light my dials all fluttered the car didn't die. I rolled forward 2 feet and then the dials did it again but the whole car went dead..upon trying to start it I got the infamous click! I just got back from advance auto and they did a load test on my battery and alternator and they both turned out ok...I'm thinking it is something electrical, does anyone have any ideas or the same problem?
