NKOTB!!!

About a month ago, I saw an article in People magazine about New Kids on the Block getting back together. I ended up going to their website and getting on a mailing list. Yes, I know that I am 30. I got an email the other day that said they were going to be on the Today show today so I took the day off to watch it. Not really, TT is sick so I offered to stay home with her today.

I don't know if any of you remember what a freak I was about them when I was younger. My room was wallpapered from ceiling to floor with posters of them. I knew every word of every song and the dance steps to go along with them. I was convinced that I was going to marry Donnie Wahlberg.

Well, on the Today show they announced that they were indeed getting back together and putting out an album and most importantly, going on tour. Yes!! It was so funny to watch them today because there were hundreds of girls my age with their shirts, books, dolls, pins, etc. and I was so jealous. They are going to perform on the Today show May 16 and a tour will follow. Mark your calendar. I will.

P.S. Kim and I are in for the concert. Anybody else?

P.P.S. Does anybody know if Donnie Wahlberg is still single? I want to keep my options open : )

I'm totally in for the concert! It was the first one I had ever gone to, I think Kim went to - with Stacey Hess and her mom and my mom and a few others. We were the farthest away possible, but it was GREAT! Hopefully we can get closer this time.

I think Candace was in to them, maybe she can go;-) So nice of you to volunteer to take time off work to watch TT. I would do that, they are usually good when they are sick. Tired all day!!!

I think Candace came home w/ the chicken pox from a New Kids Concert when she was in grade school. Now that was a fun experience--having 3 kids get chicken pox one at a time. Paige missed them!! Enjoy your concert. I'll be babysitting, I'm sure.

Ha ha! I thought about you when I heard about them getting back together. I'm still waiting for *NSYNC to reunite! : )

When I saw them on the Today show, I told Dave about your room, I told him you were more crazy for NKOTB then Mike Piazza. He didn't believe me.

Talk to Candace! She loved them. How nice and convenient for you to take the day off. You should just take the rest of the year off under the family leave act and watch both kids!!!:) Lucky Kim!

Anyone who REALLY knows you, knows about the NKOTB phase! Love you, Kell. It's that kinda stuff that reminds me that some friends are forever!

Kelly, did you read People this week? They had a little article on them. Sorry, Donnie is married with two kids. That's a little creepy anyways- Donnie looks A LOT like Don...
