After four months of anticipation, it was finally the day of the Bon Jovi concert. I had two hot dates, Jo and Jacqui, who accompanied me to the show on Friday night. We started the evening with a dinner at a local restaurant and then had to sprint over to the stadium because the concert had started and we were nowhere near our seats. We considered the running our way of working off the several plates of unhealthy, (albeit) amazing food we had consumed minutes prior.
I'm fascinated that guys that are so old can still jam out the way a bunch of 20 year olds would. I have no idea where they find the strength or stamina because I was exhausted just watching them. They played all of their classics (Living on a Prayer as the finale) and some stuff from their new album. It was rocking!
Here's me and Jac!
Jo's brother, Grant, works for the Park Hyatt where Bon Jovi stayed. He seemed a little underwhelmed with him though. I should have found out why but I think I was just in shock that not everyone is impressed by every celebrity like I am. I swear I have celebrity fever. Just today, I screamed when I opened a box from home with People and US Weekly magazines. You would have thought I opened a box full of gold.
Saturday was spent shopping for Christmas presents at Bondi Junction with Natalie. I hadn't seen my dear, sweet Nat since Thanksgiving so it was great to have her around to mock my American accent--one of her favorite pass times. I have to admit that she gets it dead on almost every time. Nat seems to think I'm too enthusiastic when I say "thank you" to people in the shops. She feels like a monotone, "thank you" is more than enough whereas I think "Thank you very much! Have a great day!" is much more fitting. Nat is sure to giggle and repeat what I said after each occurrence. The two of us headed over to Marisa's place to distract her from visa paperwork. I'm secretly hoping that if her visa doesn't get approved, she'll be forced to move back to the U.S. sooner. A girl can dream, right?
Later that night, the three of us headed over to The Spot at Randwick for some Thai food and red wine. As soon as Kalee was done with her Christmas party, she met up with us so we could go see Love and Other Drugs. Personally, I liked the movie but I think I was expecting more. I mean, Jake Gyllenhaal is a total hunk and I love seeing him shirtless more times than I can count but I thought the plot was weak. Whatever, this is just a blog, not a place for me to critique movies. We absolutely love our girl time and this was no exception. It was another good weekend for the books.
