It’s sanni-licious

One of the best concerts I ever visited was the U2 concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany while my favorite Band was on the Vertigo Tour. From the very first to the very last last song it really was a very powerful concert. The band´s wish and ability to get a directlinkage to the crowd was unbelievable as well as U2´s setlist:

3. The Cry
4. The Electric Co. / Bullet With Butterfly Wings (snippet) / I Can See For Miles (snippet)
5. Elevation
6. New Year’s Day
7. City Of Blinding Lights
8. Miracle Drug
9. Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own / No Regrets (snippet)
10. Love And Peace Or Else
11. Sunday Bloody Sunday
12. Bullet The Blue Sky / When Johnny Comes Marching Home (snippet) / The Hands That Built America (snippet) / Please (snippet)
13. Running To Stand Still
14. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
15. Where The Streets Have No Name
16. One

encore(s):

17. Zoo Station
18. The Fly
19. Mysterious Ways / My Sweet Lord (snippet)
20. With Or Without You
21. All Because Of You
22. Yahweh
23. Party Girl
24. Vertigo

I know at least two persons who truely enjoyed the concert:
My friend Dennis and me - obviously…

Happy Manic Monday, folks! ♥ What´s your favorite band?

And now…

… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: Oh Lisa! You and your stories! Bart is a vampire! Beer kills brain-cells! Now lets go back to that…building…thingy… where our beds and TV…is.

1. When you´re newly pregnant you can enjoy the feeling of having a “secret” from the world.These first days are often very fun and special… thinking about the way to share the huge news with your family and friends.
2. Listening to the little one´s heart beat! Round about the 12th week of pregnancy your midwife or doc will help you experience the joys of the first sounds of your baby´s heart beat - an unforgetable moment.
3. The glow. Yes, you glow in a very special way- it´s the good kind. Even on the days you don´t feel it. The majority of women love to be pregnant.
4. Having a huuuuuge, round belly! Take some great photos!!! Some women choose to take a picture every month wearing the same outfit to get a real picture of the changes. You can also visit a photo studio to get a professional shooting of you and your pregnancy belly. This picture of my belly was taken while I was pregnant with Luis:



5. The ability of taking naps without an excuse in the middle of the day. Of course this is a benefit of the first pregnancy… once you have a toddler running around there is no rest for the weary *grin*
6. The joy of ultrasound. It´s so exciting to watch your baby grow, see the development from a little bean to a tiny gummi bear and finally a baby. You´ll also get an answer to the “pink or blue”-question if you wish to:
7. Playing games with the baby, like or “Kick your Daddy” or “Catch the Foot” - a great way to bond with baby before birth.
8. The little moving baby is your little secret - no one else knows. You´ll never forget the (more or less) soft kicks. You can also do fetal kick counts to watch your baby´s cycles.
9. Just two words: multiple orgasms! Most of the pregnant women find sex is really fantastic, sometimes better than ever before. Though it is not always great for the whole pregnancy. Be kind to yourself.
10. Knowing that soon you´ll have a little one to cuddle and nurse. Nine months seem like a veeeery long time. Think about possible names for your little one, get infected by the “pregnancy shopping bug”, take a plaster clast of your belly…
    … and before you know it your baby will be here. ♥

Happy Manic Monday, folks! ♥ Let your heart go out to a loved one =)

And now…

… our moment of Homer J.:

Lisa: Do we have any food that wasn’t brutally slaughtered?
Homer: Well, I think the veal died of loneliness.

All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I’m not so blue
When you’re close to me
I can feel you heart beat
I can hear you breathing
In my ear
Wouldn’t you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love…
[Groovy Kind Of Love, Phil Collins]

Happy Manic Monday, folks! ♥ Spend it schmooching a loved one ;)

And now…

… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Happy Birthday, girlfriend! May all your life be filled with happiness and blessings galore…
and all your wishes come true.Thanks for making our days with your musings from the desert.

See, it´s our blogging-friend Desert Songbird´s birthday today, so please go and visit THE ICEBOX to wish Desert Songbird a very Happy Birthday!

Desert Songbird is one of the most warmhearted, humorous and caring persons I have ever met in the Blogosphere - she´s a wonderful mother, wife, writer, singer and
a sports- and shoe-crazy U2-maniac….
… and of course a blogging pal one can dream of.

Wishing a Happy Manic Monday to all of you ;)

And now…

… our moment of U2:

“Hello, hello (¡Hola!)
I’m at a place called Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something
I can feel, feel…”

- U2, Vertigo

“A soldier asked for a cigarette
His smiling face I can’t forget
He looked like you across the street
But that’s a long way here”And I wish you were here
And I wish you were here”
- U2, Stranger in a Strange Land

“I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it one more chance,
This time “
- U2, Every Minute, Every Hour

“Don’t wish
Don’t fish
Don’t teach
Don’t reach
I feel numb
Don’t borrow Too much is not enough”
- U2, Numb

“Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won’t let you in”
- U2, Some Days Are Better Than Others
