my sister sent me an email with the information below, with the subject line above.
“After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.
The band’s Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.
The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.
The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early ’90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.
Eighteen years later, they’re still “Hangin’ Tough.” The oldest “Kid,” Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band’s demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight’s brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.”
omg!
christina, we have to figure out if we are going to see them in nj, for old time’s sake, or in ma, their home turf. either way, start growing out that jordan-knight-tail.
see, i told you it was broken:
so sad…
“but how did she take a picture of her broken camera if the camera is broken?” you ask.
as was hinted at by someone in the comments on the last post, there was a camera that santa brought on christmas morning that was a strong contender to replace my broken camera. however, i will refuse to admit that i was just jealous and dropped mine because i secretly wanted the new camera! it was just handy that after the tragedy we had to do very little research to settle on a replacement. (i’m going to have to find a differently colored camera case so that we don’t mix ours up when we come to visit!)
since my old camera was always wonderful to me and it will be sadly missed, i thought it only right to have the first picture, taken with the new camera, be of my old one.
also: thank you to my mom-mom (grandma), whose generous christmas gift made it possible for me to get a new camera!
…gotta knit and knit and knit…
(i know i missed a flashback friday this week, and next friday i will probably be nowhere near a computer for most of the day. so hows about we just say that flashback friday will resume after christmas?)
there’s another ice/snow storm heading our way, so tom thought it might be a good idea to give me my christmas present early:
i slip and slide all over the place, especially in town where people and shops aren’t very consistent with the snow removal. so these yaktrax will stretch to go over all of my shoes:
even my winter boots, which have some traction built-in, aren’t quite sticky enough, so on go the yaktrax:
and then when i am indoors, they fold up small enough to fit in my pocket or bag:
tom decided that he would feel awful if i slipped during this next storm while he was hiding this gift in the house, so merry christmas to me!
and let it snow.
ok, ok. between the comments on the last post, the emails and the phone calls, i now understand that it is acceptable to:
take a break from blogging.
however it is not acceptable to:
take a a week off from blogging.
lesson learned.
so, i’m coming back with a flashback friday!
since today feels like the coldest day of the year, if not the coldest day ever, why not think warm thoughts:
ahhhh…the jersey shore. there is just nothing like it.
just peeking in to say:
i’ve got nothing for this week’s flashback friday theme!
it was supposed to be “hippie” but i don’t have any pictures that are hippie-ish. instead you’re getting me arriving at aunt thelm and uncle bud’s house. they were my great-aunt and great-uncle and they were so much fun to visit. uncle bud cracked my little self up! he was the funniest guy i knew. and he could remove his thumb… it was a.maz.ing.
don’t read the “method” section of the wiki link if you don’t want the illusion spoiled. ;-)
