My Aunt made me promise....
....to do something frivolous with her Christmas gift. I'd mentioned that the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater was putting on a production of Prokofiev's Cinderella, and she made me promise to go. (Yes, she can do that.)
I do need to get out and Do Something. I wish $$ were better, but still, she's right, I think. I haven't done anything outside a forty-five mile radius for months upon months, unless you count last week's Mandated Reporter training for 4-H. Granted, I got to roam the town of Bedford, PA for an hour or so (and that was fun; it started as a frontier outpost. I've been through it and past it and out to the Fairgrounds, but never in town.)
Anyway. My car is still a lawn ornament, until I know where the antifreeze goes or another car and some $$ come my way. So, I'm renting for the several- hour trip.
It's tomorrow night, Friday. I know where the pizza place is, where I can get a meal for $5 or so. I got a parking pass with the ticket. I hope and pray everything goes okay.
And that I remember the tickets. And my nephew's Flat Stanley, so's I can get a picture of the Pirates stadium across the river, and of the Benedum center where the ballet is. And the camera. And stuff.
But next time, I'll try to remember to say that there's just a movie I want to catch....
Wish me luck....
