My guy has been pretty sweet since his surgery. He seems to be recovering well. He’s still moody when he takes him pain killers but since I only see him on weekends, if he starts mouthing off on me all I have to do is hang up the phone and by the time the weekend rolls around, he’s a darling..hahah so funny cause it’s true.
Well in one of his bouts of being in a good mood he decided I was worthy enough to take to a Bon Jovi concert and then to Cancun, Mexico. In the 80’s I loved Bon Jovi. I thought he was a great artist. I still turn the radio up when one of his classics come on. I didn’t know what to expect from the concert. I know my guy shelled out big dollars to get us really outstanding seats at the staple center. He got us a VIP package so we got food and drinks in a private area before the concert and then we had some really great seats. We sat next to these 2 large women who were huge fans of Bon Jovi ( or as I like to call him now since we are friends…not really…BJ) The girls had seen BJ in concert many times. They bragged about how amazing his shows are, how he puts on the best show out of anyone they’ve seen, he has a crazy light show…blah blah blah..they really hyped him up. I’ve seen some really amazing shows before so I was like…whoa what is this guy going to do that is going to shock, wow and amaze me. Well..he came out on stage and he was as cute and as charming as ever. Obviously a little older than I remember but still studdly and handsome. His performance was great…he is a true entertainer. He gets the crowd pumped…the is very dramatic when he sings. I waited for this crazy light show but it just never happened. What did happen that I’ve never seen before was this: The tour is called “The Circle” after their new album. So on the floor of the audience the band had a circle on which they could walk out and touch the fans. BJ come to the from of the circle and stood about 7 feet from my face…crotch level to my eyes..yes you know I was check that out. As BJ moved closer, as stampede of overweight middle age women came rushing the stage. There had to have been 20-30 big mama all rushing the stage. They were freaking out..crying…jumping up and down..they were literally killing each other to get to the front. The little girls were getting tossed like ragdolls to the back. I wanted nothing to do with that. There is one thing I can’t stand and I’m sorry to offend anyone but I really can’t stand Fat, inconsiderate, hysterical women. I can’t stand any hysterical woman. I really want to smack sense into them. Dude what do you think…that your going to jump up and down hard enough to get is attention, his eyes will meet your eyes and he will stop the concert to tell this bouncer to take you back stage so you guys can get married…get really lamers….
Anyway. BJ is a total babe and he is very thoughtful to his fans. Between songs he stopped and said, “hey, weren’t not stupid. We know it’s not 1984 anymore. We feel lucky to be able to play and still sell out venues like this and that wouldn’t be possible without you, the fans so thank you very much.”
He’s a class act. fo sho!!!
CANCUN…
Cancun was great. I have never been there. My BF has some friends who do a lot of travelling and one of his buddies told him about this little known secret at some of the airlines. If you try to book 1st class tickets at the time of your reservation, the airlines charge an arm and a leg….but if you upgrade at the time of your check in you can upgrade to first class for anywhere from $75-150….so we flew 1st class….what a treat.
We stayed at an all inclusive place called The Royal. It was absolutely beautiful. Each room was a suite with it’s own Jacuzzi tub. The Jacuzzi takes for ever to fill up but it’s still pretty cool to have in your room. You can fill out a card to request special pillows and comforters and aromas each day you stay. It’s pretty classy. It’s a 5 diamond resort and NO KIDS are allowed.
Unfortunately, my sugarbear was there on business so we were in conferences and work dinners the entire time and didn’t get to do much. We did get to go to the beach though, which was nice. The water there is so blue. It looks delicious but I’m sure it’s still salty and will give you diarrhea if you drink it.
So that was my last weekend. I have been working every single day since I got back. The next vacation is a REAL vacation…no work, no obligations….That will be at the end of march. I’m treating my guy this time 🙂
