The Reunion.

If you know me at all or knew me when I was 12, you'll know that I was and am a die-hard N*SYNC fan. I mean, t-shirts, dolls, voted everyday for them on TRL (if you weren't a 90's kid you have no idea what that is), every CD, posters for days in my room, concerts, tears, sent them birthday cards, knew the ends and outs of their lives. It was scary, but truthfully, I was a young buck and it was acceptable. So as I have gotten older and so have they, I have learned to control my craziness and tame it down a bit (granted I'm still utterly obsessed with JT). Well, so I thought. N*SYNC performed last night at the MTV VMA's and I lost it. Like tears, anxiety, clapping, all of it. I was 12 again, and they were out of breath and dancing like old men, however, they sounded fabulous. This was like a dream (yes, I had those about JT last night). I never, ever thought I'd see my favorite band of all time reunite, but they did. It was brief and I had to watch it over and over, but it was amazing. Every memory I had growing up with them came back to me. The boy bands now-a-days have NOTHING on the originals. Now, if only they would reunite for one last tour. Cue "I want you back". 

If you missed it, google it. You won't regret it. And then play it over and over again. Also, make them your screensaver. On your phone. So you can savor the monumental moment over and over.

West coast is the best coast...

I'm up while everyone (man and dog) is asleep. I guess sleeping for 12 hours yesterday wasn't a good idea. Let's just say I had an exhausting, but fun trip to the West this past week. My sleep and time zones are all messed up. So, basically Salt Lake City, Utah stole my heart, or maybe just it's lack of humidity did (mixed with some badass people). I have to say, I hate it. Absolutely, 100% hate humidity. I stepped off the plane in SC last night and wanted to cry! There it was, the sticky, muggy, need to shower ASAP feeling. Don't get me wrong, it's H-O-T in Utah, but in the shade it's a beaut. Take me back, please?

I guess the moral of the story here is that I am no longer a fan of the east coast. I was born and raised here, I should be used to it. Nope. Want to live in the west more than ever now. I just need to start convincing my loved ones to make the move! Mom, Chris, in-laws, you ready?
