Bono, I want to touch you!

U2 360 degree tour comes to DC tonight @ Fedex Field!






...and me and the boyfriend are going to experience it firsthand. We received FREE tickets from his sister who received them from her neighbor.





I heard Bono & the band at the inaugural concert in January 2009 so am excited to hear his little voice again.



I am really hoping to get a better view of Bono this time. It would be excellent to get some pics and maybe a hand touch. I don't think that is too much to ask for, do you? We shall see...





Other than the excitement from U2, not much is new in the brief, wonderous life of Vanessa.
Sunday is Kev's bday and we have a lot of birthday plans this week which include Clue, Story Story 1 & 2 double feature in 3D and a sushi dinner on Saturday night. Come Sunday, I do not plan to get out of the comfort of my little bed.I will need a couple of aspirins, a big glass of water, and the littel babies' bodies to keep me warm and I will just be happy as a clam. I would be really excited right now for that moment, except for the fact that sunday means it is almost monday which means the start of another work week. yikes! I will just sit here patiently and wait in taht case.

SISTER IS ENGAGED!!!!!

A huge surprise to everyone---casey marie pierrard is engaged. wow. i am still in shock!!!! I really can not believe it. Neither can she. I have only seen pictures of her ring, as it happened last night. It is gorgeous!!!!!! you will honestly not believe your eyeballs. I will post it as soon as i see her and take one with my phone. More details will come about location, time frame, etc. this is very exciting!!!

Gotta Keep On Moving

I can't keep up. My life is passing me by at a blink of an eye.

A Quick Catch Up:

• Free Fest in Columbia, MD was AH-MAZING. The boyfriend and I saw The Hold Steady, Weezer, Jet, and The Bravery just to name a few. We also saw Flava Flave. haha:) He is so little. I could not believe my eyeballs.
• The St Louis, MO trip was a blast. The roommates are now officially Mr. & Mrs. Brian Callery. Their wedding was beautiful and so much fun. The boyfriend and I stayed an extra night and made a day of sightseeing where we went to the arch, the budweiser brewery, The City Museum (so cool!) and an expensive sushi dinner.
• I hopped off of the plane from st louis on Monday night just to hop on a place to El Lay on Tuesday morning.
• Currently, I am writing from my computer in Los Angeles, California. I am here on a business trip so that doesn't leave much time to sight see. I will say that I do not like California as much as I once did. Home is where the heart is and my heart is in The District.
• The boyfriend called today to inform me that Lukie is limping around and crying when he walks up to him. The culprit? Lukie stepped on a bee when he went out to pee (the rhyming was not on purpose--i promise!) Poor little man! I hate that i am across the country and can't spoil him rotten.
• Sister went to The Kings of Leon concert tonight with her man and I am green with envy! I wanted to go soooo bad! Why does work always seem to get in the way?

Well that is my life in a nutshell.
