I’m Lost …

March 17, 2010 by Kristin Leave a Comment

When Cate was born, we watched the first few seasons of “Lost” on DVD, and we were hooked. Well, really, we were hooked after about the fourth episode. We have since watched the last half of the series as it airs on Tuesdays. [Although it used to be Wednesdays and one season it was Thursdays. See, what I mean, “Lost” has the kind of audience that will jump to whatever day ABC says.]

I’ve mentioned “Lost” in posts before, but I’ve never really blogged about “Lost.” Are you lost yet?

Anyway, ABC keeps telling me how many episodes there are until the finale, which is really two epsidoes. Yeah, seriously, only the creators of “Lost” can be confusing about just how many episodes are left. Let me clarify. After last night’s episode, there are 10 hours of “Lost” left. In other words, that’s eight episodes until the finale, which is two hours.

In honor of this bittersweet countdown, I thought I would share 10 things I noticed or thought about last night’s Sawyer-centric episode, appropriately titled “Recon.” I should add that I don’t read a lot of “Lost” stuff online. I used to read Doc Jensen’s recap on EW.com, but it started hurting my head more than the actual show, so I stopped reading. A blogger I happened upon through a parenting Web site likes to write about “Lost,” so I do read her stuff regularly. When my “Lost”-obsessed friend Jodi e-mails me something, I read it as long as she keeps the spoilers away. And I often skim “Lostpedia.”

On that note, if you haven’t watched Sawyer with his shirt off lately [Yes, that’s a reference to “Recon,” the most recent episode.], then I advise you to stop reading. Consider that your warning.

In no particularly order …

1. Sawyer must not like wearing shirts.

2. Being a cop seems to fit Jim. [Even though the name doesn’t …] And Miles is the perfect sidekick.

3. Claire is a great name. But she’s nuts. Although if someone took my kid, I think I’d go nuts too. But she seems a little brain-washed crazy.

4. Isn’t it a little late in the season to introduce new characters? Welcome, Zoe. Although, I don’t really think you and the rest of Widmore’s gang are really welcome.

5. Ah, wisdom from “Little House on the Praire,” which Sawyer watches while eating a TV dinner, the only thing in his fridge. “If you live you life based on what’s going to happen, before you know it your life is over. … It’s hard not being afraid, Pa.”

6. Sawyer left the sunflower for Charlotte outside her door when she wouldn’t take him back, but he took the beer with him.

7. Fate. Destiny. Predestination. I get that theme. But, really, how are the island timeline and the flash-sideways going to work together?

8. Liam Pace wasn’t who I expected to see. Apparently he’s looking for her brother Charlie just like I am.

9. It made me sad that Sayid [one of my favorite characters] just watched Claire attack Kate. Further proof he’s not himself. So, then, who is he?

10. So, back to Sawyer being a cop. Given his profession, why did he let Kate, who was in handcuffs, go free when he saw her at LAX?

Thoughts? Theories? What are you most wanting to know? How do you think this is all going to work out?

    re: sawyers' bare chest. read an interview with him on usa today. went something like this…
    "yeah, they filmed an episode where i was to be shirtless and they all went, "whoa"…so they decided to put me in shirtless as much as they could. and i thought, you should have seen me when i was 29 and really cut." (he's 40)

I took a break from my work & chores to read yeste I took a break from my work & chores to read yesterday and I’m so glad I did. I had to stay up late to finish it last night. 

First of all, don’t judge this book by its cover, which I don’t like. (I’ve seen another cover for this same book, so I really don’t understand!) 

Anyway, I loved the story of first love and loss and reconnection told in the dual now-and-then timeline. I thought the end was a little abrupt, but maybe that’s just because I wanted a little more about Macy and Elliot.

Today I’m thankful for a productive stretch of t Today I’m thankful for a productive stretch of time making my way through a to-do list, this view from my kitchen window, a little more Summer Break with my kids, a book that has me distracted from other things I “should” be doing, and lots of wide-open space in our day.

We’ve taken our older kids on short-term mission We’ve taken our older kids on short-term mission trips and hope to go on more. They’ve served locally. We support missionaries. We want our kids to be open to wherever God calls them and incorporating missions into our small-town life is one way we, as parents, have hoped to teach that. 

I’m incredibly thankful @hardinbaptistchurch comes alongside us with the same message. The middle and high school @hardinstudents spent the summer looking at different aspects of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20. Youth minister @cbright2 spent the last Sunday of the series looking at nine practical ways that students – yes, even middle and high schoolers – could participate in and pray about going for God. 

Chase shared these 9 Ways to Go with students' parents, and I asked him for permission to share them with you because even as an adult I want to remember to live on mission – even right where I am.

“Writing is what makes me happy. Writing, even, “Writing is what makes me happy. Writing, even, is how I feel I contribute to the world. Reminding people of what’s important. Letting them escape the harsh parts of life, even if it’s just for a few hours. Helping them feel happiness through watching happily-ever-afters unfold. Remembering truths. Recalling their self-worth. Loving others. Living well. Learning. I want to do that.” 

And, let’s be honest, love stories about writers make me happy too. “Meet Me in the Margins” was cute, predictable, and a good way to escape for a little while.

This is the only picture I took tonight. You can’t tell, but there was a porch full of people talking, more kids playing basketball, and another group around the kitchen table. We covered a lot of ground in our conversations. Nobody cared that I didn’t have hot dog buns or tomatoes for the burgers. I ran out of paper plates and am happy to hear the dishwasher cleaning all the “real” plates. I’m grateful for come-as-you-are community, where we share real life.

I’m getting ready to get in my van again to pick I’m getting ready to get in my van again to pick up a kid from basketball camp. It’s the third time today I will have driven from my house to somewhere else and back again. And this is still Summer Break, when things are supposedly a little slower. 

My friend @marycarver gets me. She knows us moms spend a million hours a week taxiing people to school and sports and church and friends’ houses and errands and appointments. And maybe we linger longer before coming in the house with arms full of groceries and bags and papers and books … because we just need a minute. Or maybe we answer some texts before we pull away from the store and catch up on phone calls while we drive or show up early to pickup to read a book that has captured our attention. 

We spend a lot of time and accomplish much in our cars. Mary knows this and is giving us the encouragement we need in her new book, “Prayers from the Parking Lot.” It’s a perfect size to keep in your car or purse. Each of the 50 reflections are practical and inspiring and meet moms on the go right where we are. 

Preorder this gem now so you have it the next time you have a few extra minutes in a parking lot, school pickup line, or waiting room. It officially releases next week and is available from @revellbooks on Amazon and wherever else you buy books.
