As you that follow me on Twitter and FB know-
I finally got FACETIME!
(Sorry in advance going to be a super long post-alots to cover)
I went to Donnie's 40th Birthday bash here in Dallas at the Ghostbar.
He didnt get there until midnight (we got there at 9:30pm) so we took pictures of the Dallas Skyline and had a drink, met up with some twitter girls etc. Robo was in an out. Robo had made announcement that Donnie would not be leaving until everyone got a hug AS LONG as there was no pushing and shoving. Of course, I am with my sister (21-whom I went with to Houston and my other friend-also not really a blockhead but that tolerate my addictions
)
He tweeted he was on the elevator (Ghostbar is on 33 floor of W hotel in Downtown Dallas) Everyone walks toward elevator- We didnt we stayed right where we were, He walk right past us to the dj booth where we knew he was going to be (since this is the same place we had afterparty from Dallas concert and Danny's Breast cancer party-set up has not changed). We were standing with a lady that was in a wheelchair, so of course I go to one side so I can get the picture incase he doesnt look at my sister whom is behind this lady. Of course as he makes his way, he stops at her and bends down to give her a hug. My sister is standing behind her- He stands up and hugs my sister- I am BEHIND HIM- freaking out - I touch the back of his shirt to have him turn around and ROBO sticks his hand up and says "sorry hun" and blocks me for the pic, HUG smile everything. So he makes his way to DJ area. I make it back to my sister and Tell her WE ARE NOT LEAVING NOW until I GET MY FACETIME- She doesnt even like him-
He gets on mic and says he has not slept in 3 days, and how he was just going to have parties in Boston and LA but thought he would stop in Dallas, Blah blah. He also says "we are not forcing anything tonight" So we are only going to have about 20 mins of singing and then he is going to go to "his corner" and we could all come see him. So after that he introduces ROB LEWIS- Which I totally love and has a smile as big as Donnies that lights up the room. So Rob stands up on "stage" and sings his song and Thanks Donnie over and over again for helping his dreams come true as a real artist. Very nice REAL man.
Now it is Donnie's turn on the mic- Let me just tell you this DJ SUCKS, not sure where they got him but he wasnt playing good "club" music before Donnie got there he wasnt impressing Donnie AT all. Donnie does a couple of songs. But my favorite was when he did his Michael Jackson pose and had sang "Billie Jean" except of course he had us change the words to DONNIE D IS my Lover and the line that says The child isnt mine- to IS mine. Which as we sang along -He cracked up laughing. TOO SUPER CUTE.
He popped open champagne and then sprayed it on all of us, of course. Then had a shot someone had bought him, then drank a sip of his water, then gave it to someone in the front- Not sure what you need his water bottle for what TO EACH HIS OWN. He has to get down and DJ for a minute because this DJ SUCKS and Donnie wasnt liking anything he was giving him to work with. So then he got back up on "stage(speaker&table of dj booth) and said we needed to sing "Single" loud enough for Jon, Jordan, Joey and Danny to hear.
So now they are clearing everyone off balcony and closing the door so that it is a "one way Street" and started lining us up. So we are right there. I see Jason (@jasonJmikeMgmt) walk behind me and I said "Jason" To which he replied "girl get in line" So we did we were seriously two steps away from where the line was forming. So we were only about 10 people back, And they are letting groups of 4 go in and take 1 picture with one camera. So we get to Door of balcony and Robo steps in front of us and says "4 only"(my friend is in front of me) then Jason walks up behind Robo and I said "Jason we only have 3" So he said "ok come on"
Now we are seriously 5 feet away from Donnie Wahlberg
, and I am just beside myself this is FINALLY happening. So we walk up and the woman that was in the group before us was not moving on. So I walk up and he puts his arm around me
then kisses the top of my head. My sister starts talking, (she is telling him all about my 4 concerts, 2 afterparties etc) and she says We went to Houston and went to that afterparty it was a joke and before she could get that out of her mouth he pulled me in a kissed my forehead and said "sorry" (he knows it was a joke- madhouse- waste of our time and $). So we pose for pic. The whole time is his rubbing my back and I have my hand on his chest,
(TOTAL OUT OF BODY experience) Pictures is taken (who ever was taken pics- didnt get a name- was nice enough to look at the camera and make sure it turned out before sayin "got it"- I was very impressed with this). So then he kissed my sister on the cheek and then gave me a big hug, kiss on the cheek then kissed my friend's cheek. I finally think I got the words " thank you, I love you" to come out of my mouth after the big hug before the cheek kiss. So we were on our way. We were probably in there with him 2 minutes. So Better than the 2 mins in 5* that you have to share your time with all 5 guys. IT was SO worth the wait!
So we get on elevator, get car from valet and it isnt until we get on highway before It hits me. All I kept saying is "OMG, I finally met Donnie Wahlberg" I feel so 13 right now (to which my sister say I was acting 13).
Again Sorry for such a long post! Please forgive me!
I have some picture on my FB page- My friend Jamie was the designated photographer for the evening so I will get cd of pictures in the morning and post more.
I gave them a standing ovation for that. And while we were waiting in line for a ride, they have LCD screens that play past clips from the American Music Awards. They also interview people around the park. All of a sudden, my sister and I hear 'Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh' ala right stuff being sung by these random people on screen. Then the clip of their performance from last year's AMA starts. We were jumping up and down! 
The teenybops in front of us were like 'these guys are a billion years old!' 
Girl, my heart goes out to you. I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling. Sounds like you've gotten a lot accomplished and are spending some good quality time with your brother. 
My little babies are growing up, one in Middle School and the other in 1st grade. And to top it all off, I actually found a longer hair sticking out of Noah's chin area today. My DS10 is getting facial hair!??!?!! JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY NOW!!! What the heck is happening here!??!!
