DISer chapter of NKOTB anonymous...join the party *ahem* intervention!!!

Erin... at least it is this week that you have pink eye and not next week! Sorry to hear about it, pink eye is not fun.

 

[angey77]

Aw, Erin, pink eye stinks! At least it clears up pretty quickly once the drops start.

So, when I put my mind to something, like REALLY put my mind to it, I do it. I have decided for four weeks ... FOUR WEEKS ... I am going to exercise at least four times a week, and for at least an hour each time. Treadmill, elliptical, weight machines, aerobic, anything I need to do!

I think we are all getting harder on ourselves because all the cute summer stuff is starting to pop up in stores, items that show skin!

I just had to come and let all you ladies know: I AM READY!

I have my bags packed and we are dropping the kiddos off at school in the morning and we will be on our way to Shreveport to the NKOTB concert. My BBF is bringing her laptop so I hope to log on after and give all the details and maybe some pictures too.

I am so excited - I am way past ready for this GIRLS trip. We decided what our shirt will say "Girls trip 2009(on back)- Live, Laugh, and Lust NKOTB (on front)"

In just a few more in 24 hours from now they will be on stage, just for me (ha ha).

WooHoo!!! Have a great time! (Duh, it's NKOTB, like it'd go any other way!)

Why does everything out there either fit skin tight and show off my lovely rolls or look like a maternity shirt????? Fat girls need decent stuff too!!!

Is my crappy self esteem rubbing off on you? I apologize. I've decided to change my attitude towards myself so - no more fat girl comments. (that goes for you too!)

Pink eye? I agree, at least it's now and not next Tuesday. Eye issues freak me out, just reading your post my eye started to feel weird. lol I hope it goes well at the Dr, a week of some drops and you'll be good to go!!!

Just got back from the gym and picking up Becca at school. My shoulder is VERY sore today from my lifting class. I don't know why, I didn't increase my weights or anything. Hmm...

Angey - good job with working out!! That's what I do..4 days a week. It's 4 days more than I used to work out!

I'm off to get lunch for Becca and I! I can't wait to hear about the concert!!

LOL Shelby, nah...I just have a healthy view of myself.

My eye is pretty much fine. The Dr. said he's pretty sure my allergies started this and my constant rubbing probably introduced some bacteria, which led to this. Now I have to do drops for a few days. Eye drops skeeve me out. I hate them and I'm horrible at them!

You have no idea! Getting myself into better shape is high on the list of priorities because let's face it, the thought of ANY ONE of those handsome men seeing me in a bikini in exactly 65 days is the STRONGEST work out motivation I've ever had in my entire life. Today's a 7-8 mile run for me...too bad I feel like a walking zombie. There's not enough time for me to work full time, attend my MBA classes, do homework, sleep, and workout. My social life has severely suffered lately.

I think your only option is to quit your job and skip the classes, that will allow plenty of time to get yourself into NKOTB bikini shape!

OK so I have a question for my classy NKOTB friends. I told all of you awhile ago that I have joined a group for my meet and greet. Well we are now two weeks away and most of the group has already gotten ideas together about what they are going to wear and such. So I get an e-mail this morning from the girl that started the group saying that she and three of the other girls have the great idea that we all HAVE to do because they had put so much time and effort into it. So their idea is to wear light pink t-shirts and they have created a mock type playboy bunny head which will go on the front of the tshirt and it will read NKOTB bunny on it. Each person who has chosen the guy to stand with will have a different saying....like Jordan is "Let's get twixted......TOGETHER", and for the frosting on the cake blinking LED bunny ears. Am I the only one who thinks that a bunch of 30 something women walking into meet the guys wearing blinking LED bunny ears is absolutely ridiculous, or am I being stupid? I think the whole thing is crazy. What do you all think.

BTW, I'm not supposed to tell anybody this because it has to be a top notch secret, ya'll are my friends so I know you won't out me. Whatever!!!!!

 

[hmdavid]

I think I would look for a new group. It is kind of funny and certainly memorable, but that is a little much. If it were me, I know my husband would not appreciate the sexual innuendo on the shirt and I would not wear it for that reason. I think it is a bit tacky.

 

[Marshmelo]

Ok, so I was just on Twitter checking out posts from the Tulsa concert. Look at this one:

I think Joey just spit on me...sweet glory.

Ditto that for me!

Oh my gosh....I'm dying laughing. I'm sorry but I agree with Heather, this is a MAJOR red flag - FIND A NEW GROUP!!!!! They'll certainly get 'attention' of some sort, I don't think it's the type you want!!

I'm still laughing....your description is a riot. Where you said the 'frosting on the cake blinking LED bunny ears'...omg...I'm cracking up!!

I told you guys!!!!

 

[N&B'smom]

I just laughed so hard I have tears streaming down my face. Between the bunny shirts, blinking bunny ears and the Joe comment...I've lost it. Guess I REALLY needed a good laugh today!!

 

[Brae's Mom]

Thanks guys I don't feel so silly now. I just could not believe what I was seeing when I read the e-mail. OMG bunny ears, if they don't get laughed out of the room I will be amazed.

Love the Joe comment.....sounds like something by best friend would say, she loves Joe.

 

[Brae's Mom]

So this is part of the response I got when I e-mailed the group a bit ago....

"The bunny idea is a way of showing the guys that because of their positive influence to us over the years they have instilled in us the confidence to see ourselves as Playboy bunnies (who are intelligent, sexy, fun, caring decent people BTW – I’ve met a few). "

What? I'm sorry I love the guys as much as the next fan, but their influence in my life certainly doesn't make me feel like a Playboy bunny. Yeesh!!! I'm looking for a new group.

 

[hmdavid]

Love the response! No one is saying that Playboy bunnies aren't decent peopel... just that you don't aspire to be one! I have not done 5* so I have never been part of a group, but isn't it kind of odd to try to make the whole group go along with such a bizarre idea?

Umm, the first thing I think of when I see chicks posing naked is not "they are confident." It's more like "Someone needs attention!!!" Something is just really raunchy about the Playboy symbol when people are wearing it to be "stylish."

Crystal, you need to show them all up and get a Playboy tattoo with "NKOTB" written in script under it. OR ... go as Hugh Hefner! Don't tell anyone, just show up in some shiny robe. OK, like that is not going to happen, but can you imagine those chick's faces?

 

[N&B'smom]

Oh my gosh, the response is a riot!! Definitely find that new group. Sounds like a SCARY bunch!!

I need some help....every year we do the Relay For Life (last year I was the event chair) and we need a name. Last year we were Chicky's Champions, named after my Aunt Chicky. My friend Maria has cancer and I'd love to name it after her. I just don't know what! Any ideas? Maria's Marauders? I don't know...any thoughts????
