Um. Did I have any interest?
Yes, yes I did.
Or rather, OMG OMG OMG MADONNA YESSSS!!!!!
I took the bus up on Friday night and spent the weekend at her apartment. After taking BHB's advice and taking a SoulCycle class on Saturday morning and meeting Michelle at the adorable Sarabeth's for brunch, we were on our way to the Bronx to realize a dream 27 years in the making.*
Yes, it was raining. Yes, we wore garbage bags for the majority of the concert. Yes, we only had one umbrella. Was it worth it?**
I'll let you decide for yourself. The evidence:
 |
| The hearts are for anonymity, and to show our love for Madonna. Look at our seats! |
 |
| *Vogue* |
 |
| Cone bra, as seen from the jumbo-tron |
 |
| Madonna wants us to think that she can play guitar. (side note: She can't. But she looks awesome faking it!) |
 |
| I like this just because you can see how hard it was raining. |
The set list included:
- Opening Prayer /Girl Gone Wild
- Revolver
- Gang Bang
- Papa Don’t Preach
- Hung Up
- I Don’t Give A
- Best Friend / Heartbeat (Interlude)
- Express Yourself / Born This Way
- Turn Up The Radio
- Give Me All Your Luvin’
- Open Your Heart
- Masterpiece
- Justify My Love (Interlude)
- Vogue
- Candy Shop
- Human Nature / Erotica
- Like A Virgin
- Nobody Knows Me (Interlude)
- I’m Addicted
- I’m A Sinner
- Like A Prayer
- Celebration
Once she started playing the rain didn't even matter. It was just amazing to be there, hearing all her classics, dancing with everybody in the stadium. I'm so happy I got to go!
On to a Menu Monday Update:
Last week, I challenged myself to cook a healthy meal for myself every night and not buy lunch or dinner all week. While I had some hits and some misses, overall I was pretty happy with myself for achieving those goals.
Last week:
Monday: Skinnytaste Turkey Stuffed Peppers: These are always a hit. Plus I made a double recipe and have a tray in my freezer for emergencies now.
Tuesday: Cheese Tortellini with Spinach, Peas and Brown Butter: Know what would be helpful on this one? Remembering to buy spinach. I made do with just peas and it was a tasty (and extremely fast!) dinner.
Wednesday: Ginger Fried Rice: I've had this recipe bookmarked for years now, and I wanted it to be amazing so badly. So I was disappointed when it came out just.....meh. It's decent. I love SK and I don't doubt that her's turned out beautifully, I'm just not sure where I went wrong on this one. Plus it made a TON of rice and I have leftovers for another full dinner tonight.

For this week I've planned:
*Sunday: Pizza with Prosciutto, Blue Cheese, and Fig Jam* (Since it's Monday, I can already report that this was delicious.)
*Monday: Stir-Fry with leftover Fried Rice*
*Tuesday: I have class so I'll probably buy dinner, but if I don't I've got Portobello quesadillas planned*
*Wednesday: Pumpkin-Peanut Curry Noodles
*Thursday: Class again, so I'll probably do leftovers or pick something up at Trader Joe's across the street*
*Friday: Back to New York! We've got a late bus so I'm not sure what I'll whip up before we head out.*
Happy Monday everyone!

* I like to think that I was Madonna's youngest fan, since I was fanatical about her music that they would play in my toddler dance classes. I even had a t-shirt (with shoulder pads!) with her face on it when I was in kindergarten. And please believe if I could find that t-shirt today I would wear it in a heartbeat.
** In case you hadn't decided for yourself, the answer is "OMG OMG OMG MADONNA YESSSS!!!!!"
