My God, make it stop!
This ugly white stuff, no more.
Check the calendar…
HELLO, it is spring!
I hate you Mother Nature
No more damn snow, ‘k?
----
Yep, it's April 4th and that evil white stuff is falling from the sky, AGAIN!
As my regular readers know, I am a high school softball coach. We had our first outdoor practice outside yesterday. It was sunny and in the 50's. Mother Nature definitely does not want us to forget about the bitch of a winter she threw our way this year, so she decided to drop the temps back into the 30's today and let the snow fall. GRRRRR!
Softball is canceled for today and tomorrow. The kid's playset in the back yard is covered again. At least it is hiding the winter's worth of dog poop in the back yard...that was a bit unsightly for the one day we could actually see bare ground. See, I'm trying to look at the bright side of things. I'm trying.
If you know what the title stands for…well, that’s just plain sad.
Not sure if it’s just because I live slightly north of Boston, or if this is big news all over?? The New Kids on the Block are reuniting and are supposedly playing live on the Today Show tomorrow morning.
Yippee Skippy.
I think I was just a smidge too old to really develop a teenage infatuation with the boy band back in the early 90’s. Hmm…what was I doing back then?
Flashback to summers in 1990 and 1991…
I was a junior/senior in high school scooping ice cream in an old caboose converted into a summer take out joint. Tooky’s. Yes, that name still makes me think of female anatomy and makes me giggle. All the younger girls who worked there were OBSESSED. The radio was a constant battle. They would only listen to NKOTB and I wanted Bon Jovi, or even my high school boyfriend’s band cassette tape. Luckily, I was older than them and often won out. The war got so ugly, I actually bought a Nuked Kids on the Block t-shirt. I would wear it just to piss them off. It was white with black cartoon figures of the boys…with neon yellow splatter marks from their brains being nuked…too funny.
For the record, ladies, a friend hooked up with Jonathan Knight back in the late 90’s. That friend. A guy. Hate to break it to you, but he’s gay.
The radio show I listen to in the morning had a ton of people calling today. All females. Most saying they were going to go into work late tomorrow just so they could see the OLD MEN New Kids on the Block. That’s kind of pathetic.
SO, where were you when the NKOTB were all the rage? Are you one of those late-twenty-early-30-somethings whose panties get wet just thinking about The Right Stuff? Will you be watching the Today Show tomorrow?
...try to avoid any with a kitty on them. Especially if your she has a 2 year old brother.
Reason?
We walked in on Princess and BamBam getting dressed. Princess had only her panties on, the ones with a kitty on the front.
BamBam is looking closely at said panties, kneeling down and pulling them to get a closer look, excitedly yelling "meow, meow. MEOW, MEOW"
Just wrong. In so many ways.
Being the mature parents we are...Instead of explaining to a 5 year old and a 2 year old exactly why this is wrong, we're just going to throw away any panties with kitties and act like this never happened, m'kay?
