Thank you, Miley Cyrus

This was not posted yesterday because I was taking my niece to the Miley Cyrus concert at the Bryce Jordan Center.

It may have been the longest night of my life since I took her mother to see the New Kids on the Block in Pittsburgh about 20 years ago.

But, every cloud has a silver lining. In Miley's case, probably a glittery silver lame lining.

I was a few pennies short yesterday. Goal was sixteen. We had to leave for the concert by 5 p.m. By that time, I was only at 12 pennies.

And then, as I was running with my six-year-old niece to go worship at her goddess's altar, I found three pennies in the parking log. Cool. Only one short. I can live with that.

But the penny fates weren't done with me yet. The BJC was filled with advertisements from Walmart for all things Miley. And on the floor, on her smiley face, I found one final penny.

Yes! Disaster averted.
