Everything You Always Wanted to Know...
This post was inspired by a fellow blogger...she tagged me in a post she did revealing some of her life, and I remembered I had recently written "25 Quick Facts about Me" in another forum, so I'd thought I'd share them here...
1.) I could get lost for days in a bookstore.
2.) I honestly enjoy working out very much. I hate running, though.
3.) I am a deeply religious person. But, I don't hit you over the head with it.
4.) My husband is simply one of the best people I know. And I love him as much as I did when he came stumbling into my dorm room, wasted, the first night of college.
5.) There has never been a time in my life that I didn't think I needed to lose at least 5 lbs.
6.) I constantly worry about my sons' health. And their social skills. And their intellect. And whether they will be polite, won't hit, will go to college, etc. Parenthood is by far the hardest job I have ever, or will ever, have.
7.) I kinda want to be British.
8.) I love tweeting!! I was pretty resistant to it at first, but I've met some amazing people through Twitter.
9.) I am most terrified of failing as a parent.
10.) I LOVE television (I know, I know). But I reconcile this fact with the following: a.) for the most part, I dig 'smart' shows like Lost, and I loved Studio 60 and West Wing, and b.) I love to read just as much.
11.) My life is SO not what I'd imagined. Completely different, but infinitely better.
12.) My grandparents were both born in the very early years of the 20th century. I think of them on a daily basis and wonder how they would react to various forms of technology.
13.) I believe that it should be REQUIRED for everyone to watch What Not To Wear, and follow Clinton and Stacey's rules TO THE LETTER.
14.) I often wonder what my boys will be like as men.
15.) My dream vacation would be a trip around the world, capped off by a week in Disney World. There's nothing I would rather do more than travel.
16.) I miss DC (sometimes violently) and especially the people I worked with down there.
17.) I feel that grammar and eloquent speech are of vital importance.
18.) One of the greatest gifts my husband has ever given me is an appreciation and love for soccer and Manchester United.
19.) I dream of writing a novel, if I could just get over myself. And, find the time.
20.) I love being Catholic. Just going to Mass can make me feel better about almost anything.
21.) Looking back, I was a baby when I got married just a month after my 24th birthday. I would NOT change a thing, but I also would strenuously object if either of my boys wanted to get
married that young!
22.) I talk to my mother, my father, and my sister via telephone at least once a day, if not more.
23.) No matter how hard I try, or how closely I follow a recipe, I cannot cook to save my life.
24.) I am a straight-up, unapologetic girly-girl. I was a cheerleader in high school and in a sorority in college. I love hair, make-up, fashion, shoes, handbags, shopping...need I go on? I am convinced God gave me two little boys to offset this a bit.
25.) If you were my friend at any point in time, you're stuck with me for life.

Aloha, LOST
It was the fall of 2004. I was still working on Capitol Hill, in the lobbying/political action division of a professional union. I was excited about the new television show premieres, because I was a new mommy (all of 9 months under my belt!) and the TV was my new social life. I replaced the happy hours, events, and fundraisers with watching my television -- which I could happily do while holding my sleeping baby.
So, I was very excited for Lost. (I also was excited for "Jack & Bobby" about the future president and "Dr. Vegas" with Rob Lowe, but - um, yeah.) The premise was very intriguing and hadn't been done before. Little did I know that this intrigue would morph into a six-year relationship with the passengers of Oceanic 815 and their adventures.
It's been a crazy ride, filled with polar bears, smoke monsters, time travel, "Others," fab '70s clothing, boars, and Sawyer with his shirt off. There are soooo many questions to be answered in the finale - who will be the caretaker of the island? What/where is the island? Is Ben good or bad? Who is Jack's baby mama? Most importantly, where is Vincent?
A lot of Lost fans I know have been analyzing, critiquing, and scrutinizing this journey every step of the way. There is a lot of pressure on the writers to make this finale something grand. There is no path to take that will please all of the Lost fans. But you know, what? From where I sit, that's okay. It doesn't matter how it all ends. For the last six years, the creators of Lost have entertained me, made me laugh, and made me cry. I have enjoyed every minute of being a 'Lostie.'
Aloha, LOST. It's been one helluva ride.
