New Kids on the Block-c’mon don’t laugh

I was very excited to see a little “shout out” to New Kids on the Block on the season finale of Lost last night.  If you missed it, or have given up on Lost, said shout out was  in the form of a lunchbox.   Just a little something unexpected.

I’m looking forward to the New Kids at SPAC next month.   I don’t care that my co-workers laugh when I mention the show, I’m genuinely excited.   I have no shame in my New Kids on the Block tickets, I haven’t listened to a New Kids song since my friend Kim’s wedding two years ago, but to be able to see a band that I all but idolized at age 9 will be satisfying.    Perhaps I can make an attempt on my 9 year old fantasy of joining the band as a backup singer and marrying Jordan Knight…all while wearing hot pink leggings and crimped hair.    Anything’s possible.

did i hear CHOCOLATE DIAMONDS?

I was just half paying attention to the tv when I half heard a Jared commercial that mentioned CHOCOLATE DIAMONDS…that got my attention.

While I love jewelry, I’m not a big bling owner….I have a lot of zirconia in my collection:)   Are chocolate diamonds a new thing?   I’ve never heard of them before.   They certainly are pretty….and expensive.

Chocolate Diamond Ring ($1400)

Chocolate Diamond Earrings ($1650)

Chocolate Necklace (bit more my speed at $780)

They look so delicious…must find a decent knockoff soon!

it’s going to take all week..

…to work off the eat-fest that took place this weekend, but it was worth it.   

 We really did overdo it…

BBQ at PJ’s

Fried up fish at Ted’s

We’ll need to put the dino on a diet for the rest of the week.

that’s one way to do puffy sleeves

When you think big puffy sleeves you probably think 80’s prom dress…but why not think 80’s prom dress tuxedo hybrid?

Rihanna is back.
