You got the right stuff...

I grew up in a house where there were rarely less than 12 kids... My mom did childcare out of our home to add to the income since on top of working full time, my dad was a full time student. A majority of the kids my mom kept happened to be girls and lucky for me 3 of those girls in particular were my same age. Only months apart, we were potty trained together, learned to tie our shoes together, had chicken pox together, played dress up and rode bikes together.

We got Whitney (Whit-Hog or Whitney Paige) at 18mths, Sara (Sara Ann Kyle - yes sometimes we use her full name) at 21mths, and Tricia (Trish) at 3.5yrs old and we were only seperated by middle school districts once some of us started staying home alone. Regardless of the time that passes and our life&personality differences, we are bonded for life and they are the sisters I never had.

One thing we continue to bond over even now is our love for the 1990's and all of our memories from that decade. The early 90's were the start of me loving anything deeply for the first time - including these girls and not excluding Devon Sawa, The New Kids on the Block, Zack Morris, LAGear, the Judds, and jelly shoes.

As much as I loved NKOTB - (Here's me and my concert themed cake at my [maybe] 6th Bday?)

my WhitHog STILL LOVES them!!! Her obsession? Donnie. The 'Bad Boy'.

Ever since I moved to New York, Whit's had this feeling I'd meet him and hopefully mention her... Well her intuition was correct because when my beloved broadway producer patients got my parents and I producers' house seats to 'Jersey Boys', who sat in front of us? Bad boy and tough guy, Donnie Wahlberg.

I mentioned Whit, he said to tell her "Hi."

I was/am as obsessed with Mark Paul Gosselaar as Whit is w/Donnie. It was no coincidence to me that he and his wife filed for divorce approx 1wk after I met him outside the theatre after seeing him (and 'Weeds' star, Justin Kirk) in "The Understudy" on broadway.

Let's hear it for childhood dreams come true!!!
