18 days and I can't edit my title on NKOTB.com

So I am going to be stuck on 19 days until it allows me to edit.

*sigh*

Today is Halloween. YAY! I lurve Halloween. I've already carved a pumpkin, to replace the one that the jerk(s) smashed, got youngest daughter's costume ready, Oldest Daughter is ready, Supper will be an easy one tonight, Candy is ready to go...BRING IT LOL.

18 days until the guys come....
I am freaking...
seriously...
I might faint

19 Days! Jonathan Blogged!

I woke up this morning, barely able to open my eyes, and saw that Jon Blogged!

Jon is doing an amazing job of answering the questions. Honest and funny. LOVE IT! He keeps going back to the "tractor" tho. LMAO. And I am sure he opened up a can of worms with his comment about the tape...animals...ya go read it!

So 19 days left. OMG its really picking up speed now. Still have no clue what to wear. At least I know I can't wear a trenchcoat and heels, I don't want to wear the same thing as one of my friends lmao.

In disappointing news today, someone smashed my daughter's jack o lantern. nice huh? She's a little upset by it, she could see the carnage in the street. Poor kid, she's only 3. Why are some people out just to ruin it for the kids? OMG. It makes me mad.

Tomorrow is Halloween. My little girl wants to be Darth Vader!!! YUP and her daddy is going to be a storm trooper. LOL. I can't wait to take pics. Of course tho, the pics will not be posted on this blogger site, as to keep my family safe. I will share only with my friends.

Until tomorrow

20 days

In no time it will be her, and done. Seems like just yesterday tickets went on sale. In fact it was like 6 months ago. My daughter was a mere 8 months old at the time...NOW she's 14 months (soon to be 15 months). WOW!

I am really looking forward to this concert (if you couldn't already tell). Not only do I get to see and MEET NKOTB but I get to meet so many wonderful women from the site. The guys have given us a wonderful opportunity and for this I thank them.

Joe blogged today. About MSG and how it was walking down the halls of such an amazing place. I can just imagine what that would be like. Surreal. Walking down the same hallway as your idol. Performing in the same arena as your idol. WOW!

The guys totally deserve full credit for the comeback. They are amazing men, who know just how much they mean to us, and in turn, how much we mean to them.

Can't wait until the 18th!

21 days!!! All about Donnie

So we are getting down to the nitty gritty here. 21 days left!!!

I can't believe that I get to MEET the guys after loving them for 20 years. I was, am and always will be a fan. When they weren't together as NKOTB, I cheered for their choices, googled them and watched tv, movies and videos featuring them. This tour is the icing on the cake.

So as you all know, I am a Donnie fan. I love that man in everything that he does (Band of Brothers...all time favorite). What do I say when I meet him? Will I have words or will they escape me? I hope I don't cry. I hope I don't faint. I hope I hope. LOL. This man is so amazing, but all you Donnie fans know this already. What is it about his Donnieness?

I have always loved Donnie. I used to kiss my Donnie posters goodnight. His voice was so soft. He always had a soft spot for us fans (even ones like myself that almost accidentally beaned him in the head with peace symbol belts). He had the love of the game.

Donnie grew up to be the man I always thought he would (the man that WE as fans know, not that I know what he is truly like in person, but I assume it is the same)Generous, kind, loving, enduring and DAMN SEXY!

So what do you say to someone you have loved for 20 years? Thank you? No, its been said before...I love you? That's been said too...how about I am so sorry I almost knocked you out with a peace symbol belt right outside these doors 18 years ago...


Might be a good opener....

22 Days

Its starting to speed up. OMG. I can't believe that in 22 days I will be breathing the same air as his Donnieness! OMG!!!!

In 22 days, I will have my NK hugs!!!!

In 22 days, I might pass out

In 22 days, I will meet all my girls from nkotb.com!

In 22 days, I will have my first drink in months!

In 22 days, I will lose my voice!

In 22 days, I will be cold standing outside of Rexall Place!

In 22 days, I will be a teenager again!

In 22 days, I will be having the time of my life!!!!

I can see the headlines now.....

THE BLOCK DRIVES LOCAL MOTHERS LOCO

OMG. What is it that they are doing to us? What power do they have over us? Are there really subliminal messages in their new album? When you play it backwards does it have a secret chant?

With 25 days to go, I caved. I am weak. I upgraded my ticket to a 5* Meet and Greet ticket!

I can't believe I did this. I swore I wouldn't but DAMN I couldn't resist. That Donnie has a strange power over me.

I am shaking.
I am hyperventilating.

I might cry.

ACK

28 Days

28 days

4 weeks from today

WOWZERS!!!

Just learned new things about that day. EXCITED! I have a couple of really good friends on nkotb.com that keep me in the know....cool chicadees they are.

Makin stuff for the meet up...making a Lumbeegrl ribbon to wear, she IS coming to the concert with me (Miss you Denise), makin plans, makin new plans and scratching the old ones. LOL indecisiveness is my middle name.

Finding posers and liars on many platforms. Everyone is trying to cash in on the pandamonium of nkotb. So my message to them (because apparently they have read this blog)...I know who you are. I know what you are trying to pull. Others know and are wise to your posing.

Anyhoo...28 days!!! Looking for a cheap decent concert camera. I am 4th row so I don't need anything super extravagant. Just cheap LOL. I have a really good camera now, but can't take it to the concert since its a professional camera. Cheap, point and shoot...that's all I want.

Breathe Breathe

OMG

29 days. I feel like I am counting down to Christmas, or a vacation...but this is so much better for me...I am counting down to NKOTB DAY!

So much to do before the show....
- Head count of everyone for dinner day of concert
- Head count of all meeting with us day of concert
- Get rid of this blasted cold...ugh isnt it illegal to be sick for 2+ weeks UGH
- Get the kidlets healthy enough to hang out with Nana for the day of the concert

But the big question is

WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?!

Blockheads can not be kept down!

So I heard some devastating news this evening.

My good friend and fellow blockhead has been scrimping and saving to go to the upcoming concert in LA. Well...her buttmunch of a husband spent HER ticket money on a gadget for the computer....


SO NOT COOL. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS ONE BIT!!! NAY NAY.

We are trying to get donations for those who want to help out our blockhead sister in her dream of seeing the guys for the first time ever! She was 6 when she got bit by the nkotb bug.

YOU CAN NOT KEEP A BLOCKHEAD DOWN! She is going to this concert and that is that!

NINJAS UNITE!

31 days

Here it comes.

Faster
Faster

Our time will be soon enough. I will want it to stand still, but in a blink it will be over.

When the reunion was first announced I thought it would be cool and I would be fine waiting until the show, but no

I find myself on nkotb.com almost all the time. Meeting new people. Helping to find hotels for the girls coming to the city from various other places, trying to arrange meet up times so that I can meet some of the wonderful women on line.

Both Danny and Jonathan blogged today. Jon suggested a Q&A type of thread...uncensored, I can't wait to read his answers! It's so nice to hear from Jonathan we don't hear from him enough. Danny wrote about the tour and Breast Cancer awareness. These guys truly are wonderful.

Till tomorrow, unless I think of something else to blog today :D

32 days

I can't believe there are 32 days left!!!! We have made it over the hump and now the time is coming up on us quickly.

Going to meet alot of really nice peeps! Can't wait!

33 days!!!

33 days to go! The countdown is officially in full effect.

So over the past couple of days I started thinking about how sneaky Donnie used to be. Dressing in Drag for Much Music, jumping out of hotel windows...it makes me wonder if the guys have their own pages over on NKOTB.COM. Sure there is the official NKOTB member, but is that them? I know they read the blogs, and posts, and pages...but who are they? You do need membership to get access to the private community that is NKOTB.COM afterall.

It just makes me wonder if I would know who they were by a post, or a comment. I can sniff out a phony on Myspace or Facebook like nothing but on this community its a little harder. Most of the members have the names of their favorite in their name (ok not most but many) some have really obscure names (pizzle for example) and some use their real first names. I just wanna be a sleuth and find them but at the same time I don't want to invade their privacy...just curious is all, but it sure would be fun to find them :)

I have also been wondering what I would say to the guys if that slim chance actually happened and I got to meet them on Nov. 18. I have no clue. I would be afraid of making an ass out of myself, and talking too much, or not saying anything at all. Which is the lesser of two evils? I guess as long as I am not an overbearing screaming slobbering mess I should be ok.

33 days. WOW. It's really close now. If I could only get over this cold I would be happy. 33 is not alot. It will be here before we know it...that reminds me, I have to buy more halloween candy...I don't have nearly enough for the boys and ghouls this year.

34 days!!!

34 days left and I get to meet a whole bunch of wicked awesome NKOTB fans and of course I get to see the guys!

You'd think I was already at the concert as my voice is almost gone. This cold is kicking my butt big time. I'm downing Ricola, NeoCitran, Tea, Vicks Vaporub... you name it I'm doing it. I have 34 days to get better and dammit I will get better LOL

35 Days

So there are a mere 35 days left until the concert here. I have officially turned my 3 year old into a Blockhead! She LOVES Summertime and always wants to see the "Summertime guys" LOL. This morning we were listening to THE BLOCK and she was dancing up a storm. When SINGLE came on she said "I like this song Mommy". She knows who Donnie is (yup...my fault) and keeps asking who the other guys are. Much to my hubby's chagrin, she is a Blockhead. LOL

Trying to arrange a meet up with all my girls here in the city to meet at the statue. I can't wait! Meeting people is awesome, especially if there is one thing in common. I had given my number to one of the girls on the site and when she did call me the next day it was like we were long lost sisters. She is awesome. Carrie we are gonna rock Rexall! We are both Donnie girls but he is more than enough man to share :D

I have successfully avoided any videos from concerts, but my chat girls (NINJAS UNITE) have already been to a few concerts and keep taking pics of the D. Of course, I have to look and drool and mmmmm. But I promise I am not reading spoilers nor am I watching videos!

Can't wait to see the guys, and to meet my girls. The next 35 days will be filled with careful planning, and EXTREME excitement as the 18th gets closer.

Dunno how to feel

Donnie posted a new blog last night, and I want to start off my blog by quoting his:

October 12th, 2008
MORE FROM DONNIE

Hey All…

To all the many fans that I meet-

You know I always do my best to give you crazy love!!!!

I try to keep it real with the FACE TIME!!!!

I love seeing y’all.

Sometimes I rush because we got obligations….

Sometimes there is no time for autographs….

Only hugs…

Or pictures.

However-

Sorry when that happens…

But…

Your boy has an inside secret for you of how to “get what you want”!!!

If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want an autograph… There is only one way to just about guarantee it.

You approach me with a CD of “The Block”……

It will get signed!!!!

I WILL NEVER REFUSE TO SIGN A CD OF THE BLOCK…. EVER!!!!!!

So bring those with you if you wanna cop an autograph! ;)

That album is my heart!!!!

Otherwise- hugs and a picture will have to do.

As Always,

Your Man-

Donnie W

PS- this tour is CRAAAAAAAZZZZZZZYYYY!!!

Get your mind right!!!!!

Ok...Why does Donnie have to answer to any of us? Why does he feel he needs to explain himself? Because there are always people who are not happy with the time they DO get from the guys. This comeback is bringing back alot more than the "feeling" of being 16, it is literally turning some of us GROWN WOMEN into 16 year olds. Shoving, pushing, elbowing, and being ungrateful.

I am a BIG NKOTB fan. I mean HUGE! But here's the thing. Although I would love to meet Donnie (especially) and the rest of the guys, I know that the possibility is slim. Sure I am still going to try, hey it never hurts to try anything once ;) but if I don't succeed I am not going to be pissed off at the guys because of it. I chose NOT to buy a 5* ticket. I chose NOT to go to any concerts besides the one in my own city. I will be happy just going to the show and seeing them perform after 18 years. If I manage to get a kick ass pic of me and the D, that will be icing on the cake, but once again...slim chance.

Just because you have facetime on your shirt, or have 5*, or have passes to get to their after parties, this DOES NOT mean that you are ENTITLED to more than what the guys can give. Whether it be a wave, a hug, a kiss, a picture or an autograph. They are only 5, we are tens of thousands, or millions. HOW THE HELL can each of us get what we want?

Until I see them here in my city, I'm going to avoid all the negative talk. The talk that may just shut down the community again if it continues (speculation who knows right?) There is so much bloody bickering over there right now, over facetime and the like *sigh*

I'm jumping off my soapbox now....36 days until my concert! I am going to get better (still sicker than a dog) try to enjoy my Thanksgiving (today for us Canucks) and wait patiently for the show and maybe JUST MAYBE a chance at an autograph or a chance to apologize to Donnie for that Peace symbol belt mishap from 18 years ago.

Is it 38 or 37?

I'm not even sure. All I know is I am damn sick.

This cold isn't sure if its coming or going. It sucks big time. Chills fever...and Donnie isn't even responsible for these ones...this time.

I am having net issues and phone issues (damn digital) so I haven't been updating as often as I would like, but *sigh* I know that life will go on *grin*

Feelin tired and hot and cold and headachy so I am going to go drink some juice and ride the couch while watching the E true Hollywood Story of Soleil Moon Frye...did I spell her name right? If not I do apologize.

39 days!!!!

The last time I counted down to something was when I was pregnant and I couldn't wait to have my kid on my stomach instead of in my stomach. I remember how uncomfortable I was...I thought it was butterflies then, but no it was the baby kicking and moving and stretching the way I didnt realize the human body could go. I thought for sure I was going to be delivering the next huge contortionist.

Anyways, back to NKOTB. Rumors. Panic...ABQ show for this coming Tuesday was cancelled. I am sorry to all the fans out there who have to wait for refunds now from ticketmaster and ILAA. Truly I am sorry. This has caused some anxious moments for the rest of us Canadian girls. Apparently ticket sales arent' that great so there is fear we might cancel. I have emailed ticketmaster and am waiting patiently to hear.

Still sick. Glad its almost run its course tho.

Donnie wrote a new blog...that man cracks me up!

It's Friday.

It's payday!

and 39 flipping days left!!! WOOT!

NKOTB Ninjas! Salute

This goes out to my girls. You know who you are...You know why we are called this.

NINJA SALUTE!

Good things

So to start, one of the girls took a letter to Joe last night at the M&G, he listened and cared to learn about Denise! She was an amazing woman. She is coming to many concerts and her memory will be honoured. I can't wait for her son to meet the guys!

Tania's article is going to be posted in the paper soon. I can't wait to read that! She did a wonderful thing for an amazing woman!

NKTV has a new video!!! JON MADE ME LAUGH SO FLIPPING HARD!!!!! Jordan and his cupcake! Danny and his imagination...hmmm wonder what HE thought it looked like...would it involve 2 girls? A cup maybe?

My Ninja sisters are going tonight to the SAC concert. One has 1st row one has 2nd row!!! OMG GIVE DONNIE MY NUMBER GIRLS! *wink*

And finally...40 days!!!!!! THATS ALL!!!!

40 days

40 days to go!! WOW! I want to make a sign, but I don't want to be one of those fans that everyone gets mad at over a sign. But we will see when the time comes.

As the day gets closer I find my hunger for pictures is increasing. I HAVE to see his Donnieness, and of course Jon, Jordan, Danny and Joe as well. I have to hear 2 in the morning. AAAAAHHHHHH!

I am definitely hanging out at the stadium. I am definitely trying to meet the guys. I am definitely trying to get my facetime.

Did you hear me guys? The time is almost here.

41 days

I am thankful that the concert is still 41 days away as I have come down with some sort of cold. UGH. Sore throat, headache, sinus pain...there is NO WAY I could scream with all of this going on. MUST GET WELL..LOTS OF TEA.

I've been playing with CSS (very much a newbie at it) and I think I have figured it out mostly. I've played with my page on nkotb.com and it just needs a little tinkering. I will beat CSS and have a kick ass page...oh yes....I will.

41 days OH MY BLOG!!!!

WOW...what am I going to wear LOL

Sad News

We just learned that Denise (Lumbeegrl) has lost her battle with cancer. She passed this morning. Her son, Chris, posted the news for us on NKF.

Denise was supposed to go to her first NKOTB concert on Nov 7, and meet them for the very first time with a 5* ticket (courtesy of another fan whom I have blogged about before) on the 8th. This will not happen now.

We who knew Denise, loved her. We may have only known her a short time, but she was a great friend and a MAJOR NKOTB fan.

Denise. You are now without pain. You are now without Cancer. You will watch over your family from above. We love you. We miss you.

45 days!!!

45 DAYS! OMG it's starting to get close...

I am planning on finding you guys! LOL. I have ways... Hope you're prepared for E Town!

I must say

This tour is great! I am meeting so many people from all over the world and all over my city that I have things in common with.

I have chatted on the phone with one woman in particular and it feels like we have known each other forever. We know that on the day of the concert, when we meet at the statue of "The Great One" (in this case its Gretzky not Donnie), we are going to grab and hug each other like we are being reunited after a looooong separation. She is awesome and thanks to NKOTB we have found a new friend.

I can't believe how quickly this is coming. Just over a month left. I remember buying our first set of tickets in May and thinking OMG 6 months is far too long, but now its almost here. YAY.

It's almost D Day....Donnie Day LOL.

47 days!!!!

47 days
Getting closer
Still so much speculation on NKOTB PERSONAL LIVES...ugh leave it alone people
Almost here
Better seats


That's all

I can't believe what I just did

I bought PLATINUM seats for the concert here. I ALREADY HAVE tickets to the concert here.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!

Anyone want tickets to the NKOTB concert at Rexall Place on November 18?
