What was I thinking?! and Viva La Block!

First of all, I have to mention that I saw NKOTB in all of their retro glory again last night. Basically a few tweaks of their first tour but the addition of Popsicle made my friend Sara's night! I will post pics whenever I get home. Again I screamed like I was 9 again and danced around with a bunch of my friends. It was awesome. The night was made complete by the drive by of Waffle House to see all of the silly 20 and 30 something women hoping that the boys (I mean, men) would be dropping by. It was literally a crowded House. Oh, and Donnie or D Dub as you are now called, please stop making the smarmy comments about getting with little girls moms and us having boobs now. It is creeping us out. As Ashley put it, our 9 year old selves are here not our 28 or 29 year old selves. We're too young to hear this kind of talk. Thanks-love you!


My friend Kristin called the other day to schedule a dinner and mentioned that she is running the All-Star 5K for the All-Star game coming up in a week or so. She told me I should run it with her and what does my dumb self do? I signed up. Keep in mind that I only started running again this week and am only up to about a mile without stopping. I'm really only in it for the t-shirt. Oh, and to top it all off, I'm going to go see Kathy Griffin the night before. I love that broad. And, yep, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Here's to memories of childhood, free t-shirts, and celebrity trash talking!

Lots of Pictures

Warning! This post is going to contain a lot of pictures. I am finally getting around to posting Halloween and now I'm also posting NKOTB pics from last night.

The concert was AWESOME!!!! It is probably the best concert I have ever been to in my life. Sure beats the nosebleeds I had the first time they came to town...20 years ago! (Thanks Donnie for reminding us all of how old we are with that, by the way.) Alison and I dressed up, got lots of stares, and felt a kinship with the other crazy dressed up people. I almost touched Donnie (well, not quite, but if I had been one row up I would have touched him for sure) and that makes me happy!


Ok, first here are a few Jamby Crawl pictures:
Me as Sophia Petrillo from the Golden Girls! I even shuffled as I walked!
Me and Punky Brewster AKA Kathy

Ok, there are a lot more, but I've got to move on to the fabulous concert from last night!
This was me trying to decide if this sweatsuit was appropriate to wear in public. I decided they pants were a little much.

Apparently, I decided this was just enough. Notice the vintage sweatshirt borrowed from Amy, the fanny pack borrowed from Alison, as well as leggings and leg warmers. I'm sad to say that hair is all mine.

Alison and I waiting for the New Kids to come on stage.

The mullet sitting in the next section as well as some of the Hangin' Tough boys who thought that they were celebrities.

Here they come!!!!!


And here they are! They've still got the moves from back in the day!

And then they came really close to us and sang two or three songs.

This may have been my favorite song: Tonight! Some dumb girl next to us kept flashing the Kids. I think she thought we were at Mardi Gras. At one point Danny took a beer from someone in the crowd and he and Jordan drank from it before giving it back.

Jordan sining Baby I Believe in You with his shirt open. Looks pretty darn good to me!

I don't remember what they were singing here.

I'm so glad I got to go to this concert! Long live the New Kids!

Odds and Ends

First: OMG the NKOTB concert is tonight!!!!! I am super excited and will be out in full NKOTB fan attire. Pics will follow shortly!

Second: Jamby Crawl was great. Lots of good costumes and I will probably post pics of everything tomorrow. In the meantime check out my Facebook page to see them.

Third: Thank goodness this election is over! I didn't have to wait in line and now we don't have to hear about it every second of the day!

Fourth: I will be posting soon about a conversation my friend Julie had the other night. Let's just say that I didn't realize such hypocritical, racist, unChristian-like Christians existed in such proximity to where I live. I was completely disgusted by what these women were saying.

Fifth: NKOTB is Tonight, Tonight, La la la la la la Tonight!

School's out for the summer!!!!!

Well, it has definitely been a while since I last blogged. I'm sure people are just dying to hear an update. Monday was our last day of school. I am so happy to have my first year as a librarian out of the way. Even better news is that I get to librarian this summer for summer school. I know it sounds like a bummer, but I really could use the money...especially if I'm going to NYC this summer.

Also on an even more important note....Friday night I went to see Sex and the City and then Saturday morning I got tickets for........NKOTB!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am super psyched that they are coming to STL and can't wait for November to get here so I can see them. I even think Alison, Kathy, and I are going to be close enough that they may actually look like people instead of ants. YAY!

Alright, off to a high school reunion meeting. I can't believe I've been out of high school for 10 years already. Man, I'm getting old!
