I got this e-mail in my work e-mail this afternoon...and I was so excited. I laughed and told my boss "Guess what? I have great news." He walked over to my desk thinking it had something to do with our project and I gave him the headline: Pre-order The Block from the Official NKOTB Webstore & Pick-up an Exclusive T-Shirt." He laughed, rolled his eyes I'm sure and walked back to his desk.
Yes...NKOTB and I go way back! I was one of those teenagers who obsessed over "Joey-Joe" and had every poster up on my wall from Teen Beat magazine. If my husband could have seen me then!! The year was 1990 and while Luke was a senior in HS, I was in 8th grade talking my dad into taking me, Julie and Leah to the NKOTB concert at the Convention Center. Julie and I had our matching Joey McIntyre T-shirts and pins on.....we thought we were so cool (I still wish I could have recorded Julie's dance moves that night) Anyways, as you can tell, Luke and I are a match made in heaven. I told him that Joey-Joe is the only man I would eer leave him for! :)

One last lame story...
Our satellite went out on the TV the evening before the NKOTB were set to reunite on the Today Show a few months ago. I was stunned....I was spazzing out. I called the Satellite people and they couldn't send someone out for 5 days. 5 days...are you kidding me?! I thought it was the end of the world. Bottom line, we called a friend from church (who set us up with the satellite service) but by the time he got the message it was too late. I missed the performance on the Today Show!! I was reduced to watching bits and pieces of it on YouTube. Nevertheless, when our friend from church got the message he sent a technician to the house, named Mickey. It was Friday evening and after 2-3 minutes he was able to diagnose the problem and fixed it.
I pulled Mickey aside and said, "Mickey, how old are you? Do you know who the New Kids on the Block are?"
He smiles and says "I'm 31... but I guess I'm not cool because I don't know who they are."
My husband chuckles and says "Mickey....its because you ARE cool that you don't know who New Kids on the Block are!"
My husband is so cruel.
