take a picture, it'll last longer.

Whenever I clean my house {which is like, so often}

I walk around and make pictures in my head,

and if I like the picture I know it's clean. enough.

The sun was shining today, and I tidied,

so I grabbed my real camera this time.

So it can stay clean forever.

I like to preserve what our kids grow up in.

Like my messy "office"; I didn't clean that one.

Someday we may eat in there.

Smokie's a liar. He doesn't want Claire to raise Aaron. Because if she doesn't raise Aaron, aka Kate does, something horrible is going to happen; according to psychic guy. So he's playing on Kate's feelings for Aaron to keep Claire away from him. Jerk. I'm telling ya...keep watching for Charlie's ring to show up somewhere & that will introduce or tie in the whole Aaron saga. It's coming.

Love Sawyer. But he's in trouble. He can't possibly be smarter than Smokie and Whitmoer combined. Here's where I am with Whitmore: he hired Miles to go to the island. Miles was kidnapped by a van full of Jacob's bodyguards telling him NOT to go to the island. So, does this make Whitmore friend of Smokie? It was his girlfriend who sent Locke's body back to the island...by accident or as a favor to SmokeMan, I dunno. Baffeling.

And hooray for Richard revealed! It's gonna be a doozie.

That's all I have to say.

padded.

We picked up Andy from school and went to Hobby Lobby.

I overheard Joey whisper to Andy

that he had on 10 underwears.

huh?

So I checked him out, unbelieving,

and sure enough, he was padded.

Oh, the mysteries of the 4 year old thought process.

I dunno.

eden marie.

I sewed this week. It felt good.

I also ate a bag of cookies in the car this morning. Approximately 8 large-ish cookies. {Okay not approximately. quite literally 8.} It felt good too.

Did you know that 1 out of every 3 women die of heart disease? Every 34 seconds. And nearly 2/3 of them didn't have any prior symptoms. It's from eating a whole bag of butter, I mean cookies, on the way to preschool.

yup.

So I shall buy myself a red dress and stop eating buckets of butter. And exercise, more. I Body Pump, you know. And I look just like the girl on the website. It hurts, but it will save me from death by the hydrogenated.

Oh, Eden Marie. I forgot. She's an angel. A solace. Corrie asked if we could make a doll for Eden for her birthday, and so we did. And I love her. And Corrie, too, who does not appreciate stuffing little long skinny legs with fluff. You did good, sis.

Rose is still camping out somewhere.

Don't read on if:

1. You didn't watch.

2. You're slow to jump on the bandwagon.

3. You're only up to season 3 on Netflix.

4. You're confused easily.

5. You make clicking noises when you move and you take over dead people's bodies. In that case, we don't like you.

Okay. Here we go.

So, they can't die. And they can't kill eachother. We know Jacob touched each of them one time in their life {Sawyer: handed him a pen at his parents funeral. Kate: when he got her out of trouble shoplifting. Jack: handing him the candy out of the machine at the hospital. Locke: when he was pushed out the window. Sun & Jin: at their wedding. Said: I can't remember. And Hurley: in the taxi?} and so they can't kill themselves or eachother. And they won't age like mascara man.

Remember when Ben found Whitmore in his hotel room and they said they couldn't kill eachother? Yup. And Michael couldn't die...until he was allowed to go. Meaning he fulfilled his duty to the island.

the Alter Life thing is obviously becoming a parallel to what has happened on the island...or a manifestation of what they really want. Ben...power. At least he thought he wanted power but he really wanted Alex to be happy. Jack...a father relationship. Claire...her baby. Kate...keeping Claire and Aaron together. Said...Nadia. And Said went bad in the temple the same time he killed the mafia guy in the kitchen. And Jin was hostage in both worlds. So whatever. There are parallels, we're just not sure why or how.

And did Eloise and Charles get kicked off the island because they were becoming friends with smokie? Eloise did send everyone back to the island, with Locke's body. And Charles helped Locke try to get everyone back to the island. And he's in a submarine possibly rescuing smokie?

Here's a big one. Conan read this online...that Jacob and Smokie are really the same person. Just the good and bad side of the island...one entity. Maybe they're not really people at all. They just represent the good and evil inside the candidates, or everyone on the island. Who will each person choose to follow? Maybe this is all one big island simile for life that means nothing and the last 6 years of my life will be wasted watching a metaphoric media phenomenon.

And Richard was a prisoner on the Black Rock, where he met Smokie.

And Desmond's coming.

And why can't they have babies? It seems like they could before the bomb went off. Miles was a baby on the island, right? So maybe they can't after the bomb went off because it's not real life anymore. The alter life is real life and the island is just...a metaphor.

Darn.

Remember Charlie "remembered/knew" the code for the computer in the underwater place? Hmm.

And how did Ben summon Smokie with water when he wanted him to kill the soldiers and judge him. The water was murky, which is what infected Said. And the water that saved little Ben was clear. Water. It's meaningful.

There. I can let it go now; until Tuesday.

three.

It's been 10 days since my last post.

The natives are getting hostile. Their leader, the young one, has brought chaos to the clan.

It seems once these primitive creatures turn three they become dominate and bossy, leaving no room for reason. We're no longer able to communicate; negotiations for a peaceful solution look dim.

I'm left to reminisce the peaceful days, when all existed in harmony. When the decibels were much lower. when progress...progressed.

To add an unpleasant flavor to this party, it also appears as though these changes occur when one turns 33. The brain becomes mushy and unreasonable. These things we call hormones decide to produce such reactions as irrational irritation, acne equivalent to the early 90's, and a thing called metabolism. The scales increase with chocolate consumption. Not favorable.

All I can do is camp out and record these unwelcome behavior changes, and hope the quiet days and clear complexions return.

and eat chocolate chips.
