"Quiero amarrarte a mis sesenta de cintura..."

Twenty pounds down, 25 more to go! That's until I get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I gotta be able to get into my Shakira t-shirt, as I only had a chance to wear it once. (The title of this post is a line from a Shakira song). I got the shirt when I went to a concert last August. Besides being overpriced, the shirt was also quite small. I would have preferred one size up, but it was all they had in the style I chose. So, even when I was at my regular weight, it was kinda on the tight side, so I know for sure I can't fit it now. Especially not while lactating! :-X

So, yeah, I went to see Shakira in concert last summer and never had the chance to blog about it cuz I had issues with Blogger. Anyhoo, I ended up going with my friend Stef and her sister. I had purchased the tickets months earlier and had no plans on with whom I'd go or what. I'm glad I found them cuz it was so last minute and I had paid for the tickets!

The seats were pretty decent - on the floor and not too-too far from the stage. I enjoyed myself and was glad I got to see my girl live. What wasn't cool was the guy next to me, who was recording all these video footage on his cell phone, smelled really bad. Like, "sour". You can imagine how someone's body odor can ruin a mood!

Another low-point of the concert was the opening act: Wyclef and his fat-azz sister. Now, I don't know if it was his actually sister, but he introduced her as such. She was fat and didn't fit the theme/style of the concert. Shakira is more pop/rock. This big girl was a bit more soul and her outfit was - ugh! A tight bodysuit that did not flatter figure! And I think it had a hole/opening on the front that would only have been "sexy" on a more slender figure. Hey - it's true.

And then stupid-azz Wyclef got mad cuz the crowd ain't get hype with him and his sis. I mean, come on! They weren't there to see him!! We wanted Shakira and that's who we were waiting on! And why couldn't they haven't gotten Alejandro Sanz to open? He collaborated with Shakira on her last album, too!!

So Wyclef got mad when people weren't standing or acting very interested in the opening act. He even had the nerve to get on a guy in the front row, even calling him a fat ass and telling him he needed to stand up. Again - wtf? We weren't there to see him! We'll stand up when Shakira comes on!! Anyway, as you can see, he pissed me off. Plus, I'm not really a fan of his, especially after I heard he impregnated a chick he did a duet with - a chick that was not his wife cuz that fool was supposedly already married. Man like that should be castrated!!

But aside from assholes who are opening acts, I did enjoy myself at the concert, getting to sing to Shakira's music while seeing her live. It was the first time I had actually gotten a chance to really go out in a long time. And it was the first time I was away from Thevy for so long. You shoulda seen me, I was a bit of a wreck internally with the thought of having to leave T. I asked my mom to watch her that night. I was so anxious right up until I actually dropped her off. And after that, I was all right. No perdí la cordura. =)
