Around this time last year, I had the chance to check out Ballet Virginia’s The Nutcracker. And I loved everything about it. Seeing a ballet was something I hadn’t done since I was a teenager, so having the opportunity to go again was awesome. The music, dancing, costumes, and performances were brilliant. Plus, I got to have a nice dinner, get fancy, wear a beautiful gown and cool jewelry, and I was able to see everything in person vs. being unable to do so now because of the pandemic. This year I found out the ballet will be streamed virtually, which is still nice too. Once things ease up in the world, I hope I’m able to see another show in person. But in the meantime, a virtual performance will do just fine. Safety first, right? I hope you’re keeping safe, making your weekends as rich as you can, and enjoying this season.

We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
