I was SOOOO in love....

I remember it well...it was 1988...I was 11 years old and I could go thru an entire bottle of Paul Mitchell Freeze Spray in less than 2 weeks ( I had to make sure my bangs were gravity defying)...I tight rolled my acid washed jeans that I wore with my Guess t-shirts and white keds...I wore giant red Sally Jesse Raphael glasses because they had yet to invent cool glasses for kids...I was sitting in my room listening to the radio while doing my homework that I kept in my awesome plastic Trapper Keeper... and I heard the sounds that would infatuate me for at least the next few years...

OH MY GOSH... these boys were my crack... I loved them... I went to 2 concerts (thanks Mom) and I just knew at both concerts Joey McIntyre was going to see me from the stage (and probably his reflection in my huge glasses) and fall instantly in love with me...he would pull me up onstage with him and he would sing "Please Don't GO Girl" to me and all the other girls in the world would hate me and we would be on the cover of Tiger Beat and Seventeen would run our wedding pictures...granted I had no IDEA what it meant to be married or even what the entailed...but he was mine...well sadly he never saw me or my awesome bangs, and then suddenly they were gone...life went on... and NOW here they are ....

Even over the years I still have a special place in my heart for these guys...my MP3 player has "Hangin Tough".."Please Don't Go Girl".."Step By Step".. "The Right Stuff"...and a few others...I just saw them on the "Today Show" and was so excited to see them again.. it was raining and then even did the little leg swinging dance to "The Right Stuff"...even though I am 30 years old and pregnant with my 3rd child and love my husband more than anything... oh my gosh, I could feel that 11 year old girl inside me jumping up and down and screaming for Joey to see me....or it might have been heart burn !!!!
