This makes me feel old…

Looks like the Today show’s got the right stuff: All five original New Kids on the Block members – Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight – will appear together in the morning show’s courtyard on April 4, a source tells PEOPLE.

After months of speculation, PEOPLE confirmed in January that the band is reuniting – just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their mega-hit album Hangin’ Tough. The group also recently updated its Web site, nkotb.com.

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. Since then, the oldest “Kid,” Jonathan Knight, 39, retreated back to Boston to become a real estate developer. Former members Wahlberg, 38, and McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Jordan Knight, 37, has continued to record.

procrastinate: (verb) postpone action

So I had all of these plans of things I was going to get done last week while I was on vacation. I even made a list. Sadly, I only made a list of the really easy stuff and I did all of it in one day. The other stuff, I never touched.

I’ve had all week to steam the wood floors and here I am on Sunday still putting it off. But it really really needs to be done and I borrowed the steamer from my BFF and it’s in the car, I just have to bring it in the house. *sigh*

I did get my taxes done. That was the most important thing on the list. Much more important than, say, cleaning under my bed and putting away my laundry. Yeah, that post I made the other day about not putting clothes away, I still haven’t done it. I’ve just been moving a pile of clothes from my computer chair to my bed back and forth every day. But I’m going to put them away today. Definitely. More than likely. Later.

I hung three bookshelves yesterday. That’s an accomplishment right? I still have one more to put up and then I can fit some more books on my entertainment center and get them off of the floor. I need to buy a couple more of these shelves too. These shelves are so nifty. I need to find a picture and post it. They are called invisible shelves and they are for hardback books. It looks like There is just a stack of books attached to my wall. I love them.

Well, I guess I’m off to bring in the steamer and steam the floors and put away my clothes and hang a bookshelf and whatever else I need to do before I go back to work tomorrow. Toodles ~

Charred Peeps are yummy.

I went back over to my cousin’s house again tonight to hang out. We wanted to toast marshmellows over the fire but she was all out. So we toasted Peeps instead. Yum. Only now my sugar high is over and I am totally crashed. I’m going to pass out now. Toodles ~

Poison Drummer Arrested on Rape Charge

Police arrested Rikki Rockett, drummer for the glam rock band Poison, on a rape warrant out of Mississippi after he touched the ground at Los Angeles Airport after a flight from New Zealand, reports the Los Angeles Daily News.

Officers from the LAPD’s Airport Division seized the 46-year-old former hairdresser and lifeguard (real name: Richard Ream) as he was going through customs on Monday and then transported him to L.A. County Jail.

Officials there booked him on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant out of Neshoba County, Miss. Information about the warrant and specific charges was not immediately available. Neither were details of Rockett’s current whereabouts.

The drummer had been in New Zealand to reunite and perform with other original members of the band at Rock2Wellington, a heavy metal show. He formed the group in the ’80s with high school pal Bret Michaels.

Oopsie.

So, it has just occured to me that perhaps a title about chocolate coated Johnny flavored Depp and a picture of the rainbow ending at a port-o-potty make a pretty icky combination. Oops.

How about some chocolate coated Johnny flavored Depp?

Last night I went to my cousin’s house to have dinner with her and her two kids and hang out. We ended up playing Payday which I haven’t played in probably twenty years. We laughed so much that my sides hurt when I left to come home. They forced me to play Rock Star, some video game in which I first had to attempt to play the drums (bad), then the guitar (extra bad), and then finally sing (the absolute worst). I got to laughing so much I couldn’t get the words to the songs out which made me fail which made me laugh even harder.

It was definitely nice to get out of the house and spend some time just being silly. Of course, I love spending time with my BFF and we have good times but lately things have been a bit, um, we’ll say tense, at her house since she and her hubby are having bigtime marital issues. So hanging out at her house isn’t quite as much fun as it used to be. Plus she and I are just so stressed out all the damn time. We do laugh and have fun, but we haven’t had the opportunity to laugh like I did last night in a very long time.

Thinking about that now kind of makes me sad. I want to laugh like that with her again but I know it will probably be a while before we do.

Well, I’m off to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Two of my favorite things in one movie… chocolate and Johnny Depp. Yum. (Despite the fact that he is completely and totally NOT hot in the movie, he’s still Johnny Depp and let’s face it, the name alone is hot.)

So, yeah, toodles ~

Just in case you forgot how random I tend to be…

So. Hm. Haven’t made a post since January. Wow. I’m pretty much a slacker huh?

Mama had another surgery this week. Monday morning to be exact. To repair her hernia. The most severe hernia her doctor had seen in 30 years. Because no one in the family can ever have anything normal, we have to be special and have the most rare forms of cancer and hernias and everything else. *deepbreath*

I hadn’t planned to bitch in the first paragraph.

My brother called yesterday. He’ll be home from Iraq sometime in the next few months. Of course we are all looking forward to that. He thanked me yesterday for being here and doing what I do. He said it makes it easier for him knowing I’m here taking care of things. It was very nice to hear and of course it made me cry since everything has made me cry this week.

Seriously, I’m crying at commercials. It makes me want to smack myself upside the head. At the same time I’m blubbering I’m rolling my eyes and cussing myself out. But then, I’ve been spread a little thin emotionally for a couple of months now and I think it just caught up with me.

Spring is finally here. I can tell because I’ve done nothing but blow my nose for the past two days.

While my poor nose is all red and sore, I don’t care. I’m just happy it’s getting warmer and the mother-effing sun is shining. I have missed the sun. A lot.

My toes are cold.

I need to read up on most everyone’s blog since I haven’t done so in a couple of months. I’ve been a bad internet friend. *slaps hand* Bad Cindy.

I really need to update my Movie Mania page.

I’m off to fold clothes. And more importantly, put them away instead of piling them on the chair in front of my closet. I will wash and dry clothes all day long. I don’t even mind folding them as I usually do that while I am taking them out of the dryer. But for some unknown reason, I despise putting them away. I just don’t want to do it.

So I end up with clothes spread from one end of the room to the other, with folded stuff coming unfolded as I rummage through looking for something to wear, socks being stolen by the puppy and dragged all over the house. *sigh* So my goal this week is put everything away. I like to start with small goals and work my way up.

Today my laundry, tomorrow the world! Toodles ~
