First off, I apologize for taking this long to write a blog post. It's embarrassing that the last time I wrote one was in October. Eeek! Life has just been moving along so quickly and I've been making it a point to get out there and live life instead of being by a computer screen or TV screen. Don't get me wrong though, I have been keeping up with all things Backstreet, just not blogging about them...until now.
By now, we all know Nick came in second place for Dancing with the Stars. I had a feeling that would happen and I do support Bindi Irwin and think she deserved to win. Nick deserved to win first place as well, but there is only one spot for that. I'm proud he came in second! That night, I skipped my gym time to make sure I could watch it live and ordered a pizza. That's the way to do it lol. My facial expressions when Nick didn't win first place...

| No!!!!!!!! |
 |
| I'm sad...and being just a tad silly. |
I won't individually go through each performance to save time and not bore you with my thoughts, but I liked the Larger than Life performance and it was great to see all the guys supporting our boy. I was really proud of Nick to get over some of his insecurities and I still can't believe that a guy that talented and handsome can be insecure, but I guess we all have our insecurities. I also enjoyed the Halloween group dance. I'm planning on putting a DVD together of all his dance performances when I have time.

| I love this pic! Can I be Sharna? |
 |
| Great teamwork! |
We also can't forget the baby announcement! Congratulations to Nick and Lauren! I'm wondering what type of boy names are they thinking of and I'm hoping they don't pick mine lol. So excited to see Daddy Nick because I know he'll be a good dad.

| It's a Boy! |
In other Backstreet news, I'll be attending Nick's solo concert at the House of Blues in Chicago! I was thinking of attending some others, but I have a conference to attend the day before for work and I'm not sure if traveling to another state would work out. It'll be a blast to hear Nick's new album sung live and get to see him during VIP.
Staying on the subject of Nick, I'm sure most of you heard Nick was arrested recently. Of course the media made a big thing out of nothing and I wish they would have put as much press on the good things he has accomplished than this, but that's how it goes. I have my own thoughts on this, but don't want to get too much into it. I'll just say that I'll always support Nick and that I hope it was a matter of just having a little too much fun versus something that may be bothering him causing him to drink more.

| Nick looks sober and good here in this mug shot. |

| He looks pissed here lol. |
Moving on...two out of the four cruise themes have been announced! I'm really sad that I'm not going this year and truthfully, that is probably why I haven't been blogging because it sucks so much not being able to go. I'm very happy for my friends who are going and can't wait to hear about it!
The first theme announced was "A Night at the Cinema" where cruise goers dress up as their favorite movie character. My favorite movie character would probably be Vivian from Pretty Woman, but I don't think I could pull off the hooker look even though I did like her blue mini skirt and the white top lol. Maybe I could go as her when she classes it up, finding a tan and white pokadot dress that she wears at the polo game.
 |
| Fun! |
 |
| I always liked this look lol. |
 |
| I would be able to pull this look off better. |
Did I mention I plan to do all the themes at home with a few friends? lol I'm not quite sure on the idea just because it might make me even more sad, but we'll see.
The second theme that was announced today is Casino Royale. I'm not sure how I would go about this theme. I guess wear something classy. Here's a link to a fun
video of AJ advertising the theme.
"Boys...Backstreet Boys." *swoon* lol
Everyone excited to find out who won the Dubsmash video contest to get to do a video with BSB? I am! That would be so fun!
Also, don't forget BSB will be making an appearance on NBC's Undateable this Friday the 29th. I will be watching.
Some big news. Kevin addressed a fan's tweet about if BSB will be touring this summer. Drum roll...Kevin said unlikely with them still working on the album and promotion. A lot of fans are happy just so it gives them time to save more money for future BSB adventures. I'm okay with it too because they should take the time they need to produce an awesome album and seeing Nick in March will calm me over lol.

| AJ is excited about the new album and so am I! I spy Kevin in the background. |

As far as I go, things have been going well. Just busy with work and finally found a worthwhile man :). We have been in a relationship since late November and things have been going well and I hope they continue to do so. I now realize how much crap I was putting up with in the past and I won't go back to that or put up with anything like that again. He's a complete upgrade in every way! I'm hoping I'm making him as happy as he is making me. Now, I just have to work on my insecurities.
I've also been continuing with my workout goals. Right now, I go to the gym 5 days a week and do 1 hour of brisk cardio on the elliptical. Then I usually treat myself to the sauna. When I feel extra pumped, I do some time on the treadmill too. I added the stair climber, but that was just too much after the elliptical so instead I'm going to start doing some toning exercises at home.

| New Year, new me. I had to redeem myself from those above pictures lol. |
Wishing everyone a wonderful 2016 filled with BSB memories! Have a Happy Nick's Birthday next Thursday and thanks for reading!
