The answer to your question is YES! Of course I bought the new Michael Bublé album with special bonus tracks at Target!

The question is, did you? If you are indifferent about your love for Bublé, feel free to learn more about him by clicking HERE.

PS: Long live the Puppini Sisters.

Nice title, huh? I’m going to ask you to embrace this smorgasbord post, because the Offshore Technology Conference (read: my own person NIGHTMARE) is upon us and all I seem to do is work, work, work lately. If I don’t smorgasbord, you’ll probably hear crickets when you check IHGB on your browser and we can’t have that.

RANDOM NEWS
So, apparently this is happening:

I’m not sure how I feel about it. Part of me thinks it makes sense and they are perfect for each other! Part of me thinks that it’s the worst idea ever because they both have “this is how it is” personalities. Of course, that might be a match made in heaven and I’m a sucker for all these crazy Bachelor kids actually finding love, even if it is on a random Fleiss-sponsored “show reunion” cruise ship out in the middle of Fill In The Blank Body Of Water.

HERE’S TO LOVE! What do y’all think? Will it last?

A WEDDING
As most of you know, my friend Some Guy in Austin married Some Gal in Austin this past weekend. I’m working on a story to describe the sweet ceremony that I’ll post later. It involves my dress flying up like Marilyn Monroe, confusing Some Guy with his twin brother and a John Travolta interpretation on the dance floor. I know. IT WAS EPIC.

PS: They are a beautiful couple.

FIND OF THE DAY
Y’all know how I love George Michael, right? If this informative piece of Lincee trivia has escaped your recollection, you can read about it by clicking HERE or HERE.

As I mentioned before, this time of year is crazy busy for me. I have a tendency to find sanctuary in the most random of places during my lunch break. Typically, my go-to place is Target. A few weeks ago, I decided I needed to reel in my “need” to visit Target multiple times a week. It was becoming sort of a problem that was headed to a place where friends would have to perform an intervention.   I simply don’t have time for that.

So I went to Wal-Mart instead.

Not only did I score a ton of Easter candy on sale 70-percent off, but I found this:

COME ON!!! George Michael and The Other Guy From Wham for the miniscule price of $5? YES PLEASE!

I’m off to jitterbug in my shorty shorts.

Love,
ME

THIS IS HAPPENING!

Thanks to my friend Katie and her American Express, I will be participating in said happening in section 115 on row 12 thankyouverymuch where I will recite every lyric and perform every dance move when THIS happens:

YES! My mother has been known to wear my old dancing leotards from the 80s as a bathing suit. With this somewhat embarrassing news out in the open, I can hope that SURELY she still has my Joey button that was the size of a dinner plate. Plus, I’m going to need some acid wash jeans and a Home Boy t-shirt before June. Note to self.

In other news, I will also swoon, sway, harmonize and try to hit that sweet low bass when the dude starts randomly talking before the bridge when THIS happens:

Don’t you just love Shawn Stockman? The answer is yes. You know a music video is awesome when the on-screen lady stars feature the theatrical skills of Drucilla Winters, Lisa Turtle and Tootie.

Although I will always hold NSYNC as the quintessential boy band from the 90s, I did have a soft spot for Jeff Timmons even though I never technically owned a compact disc featuring 98 Degrees. Yes, he did have an unfortunate tattoo of the group’s logo on his chiseled bicep, but I was able to overlook the chach factor of such blatant self product placement when he smiled that boyish grin my way.

I did a little research and discovered that THIS is happening:

Well hello darling Jeff! I’m sorry that you and Joey Lawrence decided to be Chippendales that one time. I’d say, “Who can trust rumors you read on Wikipedia?! That never happened!” if there weren’t so many photos of you shirtless in a bow tie on the world wide web. I still think you’re cute though. Perhaps you and Donnie can compare muscles on stage? Have an ab-off? Is that even a thing? Let’s look into making THAT happen!

Naturally, my next move is to make a mix tape of the top hits from each boy band. I’ve narrowed it down to five from Boyz II Men, five from 98 Degrees and 10 from New Kids on the Block.

Yes they get more tracks. Please. It’s New Kids.

Now I need input. Which songs should land a coveted spot on the mix tape that will then be distributed as melody homework to the rather large group of 30-somethings attending the blessed event with me? Be heard in the comment section.

Hangin’ tough,
LLCR
