Happy Friday! Holla. The Answers.

Since not many of you took our "how sober were we" challenge, we'll just give you the answers. Kim T, you were right about MOA. Tiff, you were close but not quite.

In order of most sober to most drinks consumed:

1. Mall of America. This was a looooong day, most of which was spent sitting in various lines. We did sneak away to have one cocktail at the Corona Cantina (after we were denied at Hooter's due to Alexis's clipped ID). Thanks Kim T for watching our stuff for us!

2. San Diego. We had one glass of champagne each at dinner, then we each had one drink at the show.

3. Omaha. We each had two drinks at the bar, then we had one drink when we got to the arena and one while Natasha was still onstage.

4. Milwaukee. We had had quite enough the previous night, thank you very much. But we still had a drink with dinner and one or two at the show.

5 &6. A tie by default: Chicago and Los Angeles. This is flip-flopped for us. Alexis had more in Los Angeles (see the recap; the universe intervened and spilled her last drink at lunch). Kim had more in Chicago. It was a stressful ride out there on the train from downtown... we had to get off of the train, take a bus in rush hour, then get back on the train, then take a horrible taxi ride with a homicidal driver.

7. Saint Paul. Tiff kind of hit the nail on the head with the circumstances... See comments on the previous post. Plus, we had to slam our wine in order to go see the reporter from WCCO. It wasn't our intention.

8. Boston. We admit to not being exactly sober at this show. We decided to walk around Cambridge earlier in the day with Kim's friend Jess and it was pouring rain. So we stopped at a few different watering holes to dry off. Then we went back to the hotel to get ready, stopping by to visit our friend the bartender, and ordering an entire bottle of champagne. It was something we had discussed months in advance, to celebrate the return of our favorite boy band. Then we met Sarah Rodman from the Boston Globe for a drink... but the bar that we were supposed to meet at was absolutely packed, so we ended up staying there longer than intended. We feel bad for behaving badly if we did. And then we went to the show... And had a blast.

Here's the thing, and the point of this post. By nobody's fault but our own, we have probably given you all the impression that we drink much more than we actually do. Yes, we drink. We've provided the illusion that we drink all day, but we rarely get drunk. We don't want you to have the wrong impressions of us. Because unlike some other folks out there, our families, friends, and jobs are much more important than anything else - including the New Kids... and going out drinking.

Hope you all have a great weekend. We've got lots of great stuff to talk about in the near future. The upcoming tour, the mystery "save the dates" (which fall over Kim's birthday), and who knows what else...

Holla!
xoxo, Kim and Alexis

P.S. This is probably old news, but we just watched this clip and it gave us butterflies in our tummies.
