AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I LOVE YOU JON!!!!!!!!

Back in the day, I was the BIGGEST NKOTB fan there was!!!! For those of you who weren't a pre-teen girl in the early 90's, that's the New Kids On The Block. I had buttons and watches and EVERY cd and cassette tape and games and t-shirts and posters and posters and posters and a few more posters and watched the cartoon and knew every song by heart. I went to see them when the No More Games tour was going on, and they were my very first concert. I'll never forget getting to go see it. It was awesome. Even though I was at the far end of the arena and up in the nose bleed, Jon pointed at me!!!!! Can you tell he was my favorite. I mean, come on!! He's a Sagiterious, and I'm a Libra!! That's my perfect love match!! I was convinced that one day I was going to bump into him on the oh so busy streets of Arab, he was going to fall madly in love with me, we were going to get marrid, and have lots of wonderful little babies. BTW, I was like 12!! Then they broke up in '94 (yes, I know the year!). Well, for the last 15+ years, I've had a secret. I never stopped loving NKOTB!! Yes, I'll admit it. When I got an iPod for Christmas a couple of Christmas's ago, that was the first thing I downloaded from iTunes. I have listened and listened and listened to it too!! Then again, I am a sucker for anybody I loved back then. Tommy Page, NKOTB, Richard Marx, Roxette, even Milli Vanilli!! Anyway, back in April, I heard NKOTB was reuniting! It was like I was that 12 year old SCREAMING girl at her very first concert. My mom has recorded every time they've been on morning shows. Right now, I just finished watching the new VH1 Behind the Music special. Now it's the first few songs from their new tour. This is the closest I get to be to that. Stinkin shows are sold out and tickets are like $1 million!! Okay, closer to $200, but might as well be a million!! I can't wait to get the new CD! I'm going to ask Santa to put it in my stocking. I'd really love if he'd give me concert tickets, but I'm not going to push my luck. So, how many other closet Blockheads are out there? Is anybody else loving them being back together? *Step by step, oh baby...gotta get to you girllllllll* Ahhhhhhhh, I love the music from my childhood!! :) I hate that the concert is ending! I WANT MORE!!!!!

Girls Night In

Charming's sister-in-law invited the girls and I to a Mary Kay party, so we turned it into a girls night in!! Lightening is spending the night with Charming, so Belle, Tink, and I are on our own!! We went to the sil's party. The girls didn't really get to do anything because we were doing skin care stuff. I promised them, if they would be nice about it, when we got home we would pull out all the Libby Lu make-up. That did it!!! They were perfect angels all night!!! Didn't complain about anything!!! LOL Belle has a set of twins that are her friends from school and Girl Scouts. Back at the first of the year, they invited her to a Libby Lu birthday party. One of the things that she brought home was some face mask (not my favorite thing!). I've been promising her for months that we would have a girls night and use it. So, tonight we gave ourselves facials with the face mask, then the girls started playing make-up. They've had a great time, and it has been a lot of fun. I love to see them have so much fun. And, of course, mommy had to take pictures of her two beauties. I HATE my picture, but I might as well throw me in there too!! Let you all see me at my absolute worst!! LOL

Here's the before face mask for all of us. Belle is in the Hannah Montana PJ's, Tink's in the white shirt, and I think I'm pretty obvious.


Here's the pics of all of us with the face masks. I think I like the one of all three of us best! I don't know what I look like, but something akin to the creature from the gray lagoon!!!! I would only let these pictures be seen by those I love the most, so NOOOOOOOOOO making fun of me!!! LOL

All in all, it was a fun night. I try to remember that they're not going to want to have nights like this very often. Right now, we're watching the new Ariel movie. They're enjoying the extra features. I know the older Belle gets, the less and less we'll be able to do this.

I'm just surprised about Charming & Lightening. :) Charming offered to watch him for me. Then he got this new job and we didn't think he'd get to. Well, then it worked out that he could. When we were working out the details, he told me just to let Lightning spend the night. There was no need in getting him out all late and such. I was shocked!!!! I have no problem letting him do that, but I was surprised he offered. It was nice. So, they're out having there boys night, and we're having our girls night. It's good all the way around. Now I just have to get up in the morning and get him. We'll see how he handles the whole night!! New experiences are fun!!!! LOL
