A Week of "New"

Last week was an eventful one - well at least for me personally.

Monday, I finally went in and got my "reward" tattoo! I reached my 20lb weight loss goal this summer and just never got around to making an appointment and finding a new artist (my other tattoos were done by the same guy in California).

(forgive the picture, it was taken right after i took the wrapping off.)


The words are in Gaelic and they translate as "beautiful day." It's one of my favorite U2 songs and it's also a song that has helped me to keep going even when times are hard. Every day is a beautiful day in someway, you just have to look for it.

The other "New" in the week was New Moon! I saw it at noon on Friday. AMAZING movie! I am actually hoping to see it again in the next few weeks. The movie seemed to go by so fast! i wished they would have tacked on at least another hour of content - not at the end but just adding more details to the storyline that were in the book.

So now I am onto listening to Eclipse then onto Breaking Dawn before I head back to the people created by Nora Roberts. It really does amaze me how much I really like the Twilight series. It's the only book or books in my entire life that I have read/listened to more than twice! I am still enjoying it on my 4th time through :)

(RED) Zone Here We Come!!!!

This afternoon my hubby and I won tickets in the auction for (RED) Zone tickets!!! On July 6th, 2010 we will be upclose and personal with 4 of my favorite Irish men!

If you aren't familiar with the location of the (RED) Zone, the arrow I put on the map of Soldier Field shows where we will be. We will be on Adam's side :) That's the bass player.





To give you an idea of how close we will be,, here is a video from a U2 fanatic I met on the forums on @U2.com. Just click this link to view the amazing video.

Can Bono Get Any Hotter? Seriously....

The first 30 seconds makes my heart melt....

U2 Presale - Chicago!

Presale starts tomorrow for my presale code! I am STOKED to say the least!!!

Sweetie and I talked about tickets and what not - we decided to try for (RED) Zone tickets.

What is the (RED) Zone? Here is a description from Ticketmaster:

The very limited capacity (RED) Zones, which are high profile general admission standing areas located on the field directly adjacent to the stage runways, is the place to be at the Artist Page concert event of the year - U2 3602 World Tour.

(RED) Zone Package Auction winners will enjoy:

- The only reserved General Admission VIP standing area nearest the stage
- Entering the Stadium through an assigned VIP entrance/gate
- Avoiding lines and still be beside the stage; regardless of your arrival time
- Being greeted in by (RED) Zone Hosts
- And more...!

We start bidding tomorrow afternoon - I am hoping that we snag tickets. I have seen pictures from people who have had these tickets and I am amazed at how close they were. If we do snag these precious tickets I will not only feel amazing because I will probably see sweat coming off the guys as they pass by, but also because part of what we paid will help buy AIDS drugs in Africa.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes and hoping that my Irish luck helps me win!
