Jonas Brothers Wrapping Paper?!?

I was shopping with my mother yesterday at Target. We were in the Christmas section and looking at wrapping paper. I am banned from buying wrapping paper this year. Every year I keep buying more and forgetting the rolls I had left over from the previous year. Let me just tell you, I have a LOT of paper. Anyway....we were looking at the paper and came across a roll of Jonas Brothers wrapping paper. I made her promise me that none of my presents would be wrapped in this paper. Then I started to wonder. Who were MY Jonas Brothers? Surely I was never a boy-crazy little girl buying teenie bopper magazines and hanging pictures on my wall. Then I remembered.
Exhibit A: Ralph Macchio
I distinctly remember an argument with another little girl in the neighborhood about who was going to marry Ralph that resulted in me taking my stash of My Little Ponies and going home. In case you were wondering, neither of us married him.
Exhibit B: Kirk Cameron
Oh, how I loved Kirk. I used to write Sarah Cameron on all my folders and watched Growing Pains regularly. I cut his pictures out of TeenBop. My mother would not let me thumb tack them to the wall, but we compromised. I was able to get a large bulletin board and hang the pics on that. Sigh. He was dreamy.
Exhibit C and D: The Boys of 90210
When I was in Junior High these boys replaced Kirk on my Wall of Fame. I never could decide who I liked better, but I knew for sure that I hated Shannon Doherty.
Exhibit E: Dean Cain aka Superman

Oh, yeah. I tuned in every week to watch this man in his tights. Come on, who wouldn't? He filled the suit out very nicely.

Maybe I was being too harsh of today's little girls and their Jonas Brother paper. I definitely could have seen myself begging for presents wrapped up in any of these guys way back when.

So tell me, Who were YOUR Jonas Brothers?

Get Me a Kilt-I'm Moving to Scotland!

Several years ago a girlfriend and I discovered this series of books. It was the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. These books are fan-freakin'-tastic. I LOVE them. There are 7 in the series and each one is roughly 900 pages long. (I know it seems like a lot, but it goes quickly and by the end you're wishing there was more) I made everyone I knew read these books and soon we were discussing the characters like they were real people.
The books take place among the clans in the Scottish Highlands...a little after "Bravehart" times. A 20th century nurse, Claire, gets sucked back through time by a stonehenge-like rock formation. She meets a young highlander, James Fraser, and they fall in love. There is SO much more to this series but I don't want to spoil anything!

After reading these books I became interested in all things Scottish and eventually would like to visit the country. It seems like it's a beautiful country, rich in history...Oh, and did I mention the men?

Hello Ewan!

And my newest Scottish crush James McAvoy. Isn't he cute?

You may have seen this guy in P.S. I Love You, or The Phantom of the Opera. Let me tell you, this boy can sing! Aren't convinced he's sexy?

I give you exhibit B. Yep. That's a loin cloth. And look at those Abs!

Don't you feel like moving to Scotland with me?
