U2 part deux

On Wednesday I will be able to purchase, or attempt to purchase tickets to the U2 show in Vancouver BC. I really have loved this band since 1987. I'm not loving how difficult and ridiculous it is becoming to see them live. I am a fan club member with a presale code and even that will not ensure that I get a ticket for Kent and I. My first U2 show I sat behind the stage, but it was still amazing. As the ticket prices increase and the demand is so difficult you start to expect a bit more than just a rock and roll show. I actually found myself debating if I should purchase the VIP seats at a mere $515.00 per ticket. Not only will I get a ticket, but I will get a beer and wine pre-funk party with all of the other posers who took the easy road out and bought their way into the show. I really, really want to see them, but for $1030.00, the cost of gas, hotel and souvenirs....I'm going to really have to think about it. I've thought about it and hell no. I keep thinking I will be fortunate enough to get tickets and I will practice "the secret" which really has been working quite well.

Friday night Kent and I did enjoy happy hour, but it was not so happy feeling the next day. I splurged and had wine, cheese, bread etc. My body has not had this in quite some time so I was basically sick as a dog..a true dog. I know better, yet I don't always do better. We did go and buy me a few pairs of pants at Anne Taylor and I did have to by a size 14 "curvy" but I was glad to find myself back into those pants. This frustrating body of mine is going to realize that we have a ways to go still, but at least we are moving in the right direction. We have two weeks until Italy so I am going to do my best to push it and stay focused.
