ga-ga Oh-la-la

As you already know I am ridiculously overdue on my Lady Gaga post. I did write a fab post then in true Chrome fashion I got an 'Aw Snap' aka Internet Explorer Cannot Display this Page bullcrap. Didn't have it in me to repost until now. So frustrating.

But Gaga... amazing! She is such an amazing performer. Over the top fantastic. She is worth every penny of a sold out Wang Center. A different outfit and routine for every song with no lip syncing. The real deal.

She opened with new song “Dance in the Dark” (omg love this song) and then moved into Just Dance (my anthem), and I was ‘so happy I could die’. ;)

She played all of my favorites:

• Dance in the Dark
• Just Dance

[Order gets blurry here]

• Monster
• Alejandro
• Fashion
• The Fame
• Love Game
• Speechless (on Piano)
• Money Honey 
• Beautiful Dirty Rich
• Poker Face
• Paparazzi

[Encore]

• Eh, eh
• Bad Romance

We took some ridiculous pictures I am reluctantly showing to you all, haha.  At one point at the restaurant before we went to the show a girl came up and took my picture to send to her husband?? It’s fine.  Papa-Papa-Paparazzi.

Hands down so amazing. After the show I was ready to kill someone for water.  I finally get to the register at Walgreens with water and Gatorade in hand and went to say thank you and nothing came out, no more voice.  The next day I had this raspy scratchy voice and my vocal chords were definitely mad at me J  All totally worth it.

Here’s video from my camera’s recording of the beginning of her Poker Face performance… Lady Gaga fist pumps. I’m in love.

<3 Lady Gaga and all her and my little monsters!

so happy I could die...

Tonight is the night!  Lady Gaga concert with little monsters Gail & Sarah among others. OW OWWW!  He's my look for tonight:

I'm sitting here at work wondering if anyone would notice if I drew my lightning bolt on my face a little prematurely.  It is, after all, the 2nd best day of December. :D

To all other little monsters... you'll be in my heart as I'm dancing my Gaga off.  I will try to give you some shot outs during my routine on stage but... Lady G and I have a Bad Romance so she might get a little jealous. :P

Ga-Ga Ooh La-La

Bad Romance. Lady Gaga's latest hit and I'm in love.  You can listen to it on ladygaga.com! Her new album The Fame Monster comes out Nov 23rd which means I will have exactly one week to learn all the lyrics for her CONCERT at the Wang Center Dec 1st. Yep. Get jealous.

Gail woke up in the wee hours of Saturday morning (10am) to order the tickets. After her page took 35 minutes to load (talk about site performance issues) she got us some siiiick seats. Thanks for your hard work Gail!

Sarah will be joining us for the madness (insanity, hot mess, sh*tshow) that is a Lady Gaga concert. Can't wait! Hope Wang Center doesn't discriminate on sunglasses and sparkles oww owww.

Totally should have been Lady Gaga for halloween but will just dress up as her for the concert instead! :D Anyone else going?

I bet I know what most of you are up to tonight. GAME ONE WORLD SERIES Phils vs Yanks.  GO PHILS! We're going home this weekend, too!  Can't wait!

kid cudi <3's lady gaga, too

I have so many ailments today but they are all reminders of good things. Bum knee means I've been running lots. Sore torso means I actually did something in Pilates class yesterday. Exhaustion and the overwhelming urge to eat a sausage egg and cheese means I had a great time last night at the Kid Cudi & Asher Roth concert!

With all this I wonder what today's Cardio Ball class (so hard) will bring. Most likely my resuscitation by paramedics and annoyed fit people that just wanted to take the class. Or even more likely I'll lay like a dead fish on the mat. Either scenario I'll still be reaching deep, haha.

Anyway, last night was pretty kick ass. Gail had an extra ticket and brought me. So here is where we give a big o-m-g shout out to Gail! Whoop! Thanks girl!

Kid Cudi has talent and he spun a Lady Gaga beat. So you've guessed it... I tried to rush the stage and got in another fight. KIDDINGGGG! Haha that would have been fun. Memories.

Asher Roth was good, too. I only know his i love college song which eerily describes being 21 with my girls at 218 Hemenway. I wish we taped it... for sure. Anyway I got to dance like a white girl to hip hop and well I loved every minute of it. ;)

Maybe the dancing is actually why I'm sore and have a bum knee. Totally worth it.

Tonight I have dinner with Sarah & Liz from work and I'm so pumped for cheese, wine and homemade risotto. Just have to get through work. :P

getting back in the groove

What have I been up to since LA you ask? Well lots.  I am desperately trying to get back on my regular schedule and lifestyle after wisdom teeth drama.

Last weekend Susan came up to visit and we went to the Dave Matthews Band concert at Fenway Park which was pretty fantastic. Love Dave even if he did play a lot of new stuff to which I couldn't sing along.

I did, however, manage to dance like a hippy in a long pretty dress! It was so fun. He played an amazing rendition of Two Step, my all time favorite song. :)

I am finally working out again. It only took nearly 3 %*#^@ing weeks to be able. These stupid wisdom teeth really got the best of me. Argh! Anyhowwww.  I signed up officially for The Hampton's Half Marathon in honor of sebcake's momma. Should be fun but definitely will need to do some hill training this time around, blast.

There is also The Philly Distance run the weekend before which I promised my cousin I'd run. I think two half marathons in two weekends is a bit much but totally doable, what do you reckon? Either way thanks to my wisdom teeth sabbatical I have a ways back into distance running. 3.5 months should be plenty of time, though. I hope!

Speaking of wisdom teeth sabbatical... went back to my original dentist (not the devil that removed my wizzies) yesterday because pain 3 weeks after surgery feels excessive. I was right. He put me on an antibiotic and just said my bottom teeth wounds were not healing. Finally some answers.

He too mentioned something about the surgery being too traumatic for my body. I thought I was one tough cookie, what the hell. No more elective surgery for this girl.

So in other (fantastic) news a really good friend, well best friend from elementary school, is pregnant! She is due Jan 17th and I told her that he/she needs to stay in one more day so we can share the same birthday! ;) Very happy for Bridget & Ian or shall I say "Mommy & Daddy".... Congrats!!

Lots of babies these days. We now know my body can't handle trauma sooo I will be holding off on pregnancy until some moment of insanity when I'm 30. 

Excited for this weekend, though! Pickles is coming to visit yayyyy! Sad weekend related news is that Saturday is Kayte's last day in Boston. :( Butttt going to party it up in her honor at the boys from LP's bbq on Sat afternoon. Yay summer bbqs!
