OMG OMG OMG! I totally interrupt your regular scheduled programming to talk about NKOTB! Yes it’s all about New Kids on the Block yet again. Don’t blame it on me, blame it on my friend Heather! No seriously it’s all her fault I just read her blog post about the NKOTB concert on The Today Show on Friday and I had to go back and re-watch it because I missed a VERY VERY important part. So it really is her fault that I’m writing about them again. (thanks Heather for pointing out this important part that I missed!)

So because of her blog post I was so disappointed that I had to go back and re-watch the whole concert to see the part she referenced (thank goodness for my DVR & having it recorded…LOL). Disappointed my rump! I’ll be replaying their concert off and on whenever I get the urge to get my NKOTB fix.

And oh man let me say it was so worth re-watching it. Donnie lifted his shirt and I was like hello! Too bad he was kind of ‘hiding’ in the background when he did it and you didn’t get all that great of a view. Well it was a good view but it could of been better

It’s funny to see them 15 years later - they have certainly aged well and I actually think some of them look a heck of a lot better now than they did way back when. Jordan is still cute but I have to say that I like Donnie a lot more now-a-days which is funny cause back then I didn’t really care all that much for him.  It just must be that ‘bad boy’ way about him that tickles my fancy.

Ok I’ve openly admitted the fact that even after all these years I still like NKOTB (New Kids on the Block). I was in love obsessed with them back in the early 90’s (it might of even been late 80’s) when they first came out and I longed to see them in person and get any chance I could to be close to Jordan Knight (oh he was super dreamy! I never did get a chance to go to a concert). I owned VHS tapes, sheets, bedspread, buttons, t-shirts, a watch, and even a duffel bag. None of that compares to all the Teen Bop magazines I had to buy to decorate my wall (every inch of it - you honestly couldn’t see an empty spot on my wall!) with NKOTB.

Oh those were the days.

Maybe NKOTB is a guilty pleasure or just part of me trying to hang onto my youth or maybe it’s all part of a mid-life crisis? Oh wait I think only men go through those Whatever the cause may be, I’m happy excited to announce they will be appearing live on The Today Show this morning to perform a concert! Yes a concert!

I can’t wait! My DVR is set to record their appearance but I’ll be watching it too! I think I might be a little too geeked about this but hey I can’t help it, it’s big news for any NKOTB fan! Seriously, it is! Maybe this will help cure that longing that I still have to see them in concert. Should a 30 something woman be admitting she still has a secret longing to see them? Guess it’s not so secret anymore

And I have to say that Jordan Knight is still kind of dreamy but Mark Wahlberg kind of got my attention back when he started appearing in movies. He’s kind of sexy in that bad boy sort of way.

mister internet! Please don’t leave me again, especially anytime soon! Ok I’m a dork, but hey I’ll be the first to admit it

It started storming last night, well early this morning and it was no surprise to me that I lost internet, TV and my phone (my phone is also through my cable company as well). It was late anyways so I needed to go to bed so maybe that was my cue it was time to hit the sack!

I had just fallen asleep when suddenly Caleb was crawling into bed with me. I thought he’d just fall back asleep - yeah right. For whatever reason he couldn’t sleep (poor kid is only 9 and already taking after me with the poor sleeping habits!) and tossed and turned and tossed and turned. Normally it wouldn’t bother me because that’s all I normally do but for once I was actually exhausted, tired and needed/wanted sleep! Every time I would start to doze off Caleb would say “mom” and start talking to me. UGH. When I want him to talk to me he doesn’t want to but when I want to sleep & he should be sleeping he wanted to talk. Kids. LOL. The last time I looked at the clock it was 4:41am I heard the slightest snore coming from Caleb and I was relieved that he had finally fallen back asleep. It didn’t take much for me to fall asleep either but the next thing I know the alarm clock was blaring in my ear. I remember hitting snooze, or so I thought I hit snooze but I didn’t wake up until a couple minutes after 8am and guess what time Caleb is supposed to be at school by? Yup, 8am!

For something that should be a simple process - finding and purchasing a sports bra - it sure is turning into a nightmare!

Come on now…I’m not the only woman in the world that plays sports and needs something to support my girls! And I also happen to know that I’m not the only ‘large’ chested woman in the world playing sports in desperate need of something to support those ‘girls’ of mine.

So tell me…why is it so cotton picking stinking hard to find a sports bra?

On Twitter the other day someone was asking what our wishes were for Mother’s Day. I thought there really wasn’t anything I wanted or wished for but now that I’m thinking about it of course there are things I want.

So here is my ‘wish’ list

1. Flowers

2. Gym Membership to Powerhouse Gym

3. Money to get my hair done (I desperately need a trim, highlights, etc)

4. Money to get a manicure and a pedicure (never had a pedicure but everyone says they are wonderful so one of these days I’m gonna try one!)

5. Gift certificate for Bath & Body Works or Victoria’s Secret

6. Digital Camera seems how mine bit the dust & I’m having withdrawals from not having one anymore!

Yeah I guess my list could go on and on now that I’m thinking about it! It’s nice to wish

*Edited to Add - Thanks to my friend Mary’s comment, I forgot that a laptop is on my Mother’s Day wish list too Oh yeah…a laptop would make my life so much EASIER!
