Cinco de Mayo

Sometimes I do better with lists. Here's what's going on in my life lately:

Today I...
-Helped a friend with her garage sale
-Took a long nap
-Made brownies
-Watched Akeelah and the Bee with some girlfriends
-Checked my Facebook
-Thought about packing :)

We have a very busy next few weeks...
-Travelling to Arkansas (YEAH!)
-Going to a baseball game at Wide World of Sports (May 17th)
-Attending our church's marriage weekend (May 18th & 19th)
-Celebrating our Anniversary (May 22nd)
-Moving to a new apartment (Memorial Day Weekend)

I'm usually pretty pensive about life and about how fast time flies. I've been feeling that way lately because May is such a marker for so many things in life...graduations, marriage, moving, etc.

We have been blogging a little about Lost. Andrew and I both feel like we can't really do Lost and Gone Forever any justice, so I will continue to point you there if you want the details about the last episode. We loved it and can't wait to see how the season wraps up!!! What were your thoughts?

Lost Last Week, and Other Randomness

I read Lost and Gone Forever. It has LOTS of good (thorough!!) analysis of each episode. You should definitely read the recap of Catch-22 if you follow Lost, and are confused about what's going on. :)

Personally, I thought this last episode was a little slow, but all in all, this season has revealed alot of info, so I wasn't too disappointed. There are lots of unanswered questions, still I'm excited about how this season will wrap up.

In other news, here are some things going on with me:
-This is a silly thing, but I felt a little obsessive yesterday when I ordered my Starbucks... "Grande Solo Non Fat 3 Pump No Whip Dolce De Leche Latte." Yikes. :) It was good, though! This morning, my order was much simpler..."Tall 2 Pump No Whip White Chocolate Mocha..." My Favorite. (Just to clarify, I don't order Starbucks everyday, and...it definitely helps that Hubby works there!!)
-Have you watched Andrew's flash video?
-I have been listening to John Piper sermons while I work on projects at work. Wow, his insight is so powerful. I'm excited about what God is doing in our lives. I don't want to live a wasted life.

LOST: The Beginning of the End

Ooooooh...what an interesting episode! Okay, It feels a little weird blogging about Lost since we don't really mention it on here. Our lifegroup watches it together every week, and have been carrying on email strings discussing theories, etc. Fun!

So...I love that we still have a reason to be suspicious of Juliet! For a minute there, she was seeming a little...passive...and we all know that is not how she really is. So, I was glad when she stood up to Sayid and Sawyer...seemed like she is still this manipulative, mysterious person that we all know she is (even though we don't know the true depths of her motives). I think its interesting that I feel the same "vibes" from her as from Ben...but it is obvious they are the way they are for different reasons. One thing is for sure, she wants off the island!

I liked that we got to see more about the others. Seriously, Ethan totally creeps me out! I noticed that we didn't see Tom (aka Zeeke) in this episode. Interesting.

Also, this is just speculation of course...but maybe Kate is pregnant? I guess we'll find out soon enough. All in all, I loved this episode.
