Welp, that was sad. Besides the fact that it’s over, everyone dies. Not like you would expect everyone to die – but they all just die. Some on the island, some later on in life after the island. You know, they just played up that fact of life that we all don’t really want to talk about . . . “EVERYONE DIES EVENTUALLY!” Even ol’ Richard. I’m guessing anyways, since he showed some sign of aging when Miles pulled out a grey hair. And let me add – that man was my honey. Jack is hot. Sawyer is hot. But Richard . . . I don’t have words to describe it.

The show has been on since September of 2004 – the month after I found out I was pregnant with Hudson. I’ve had 4 kids during that time – wow.

The last 30 minutes of the show I think I took 4 breaths. I found it incredibly intense and fantastic. But I was left bawling and speechless at the end! And the longer I thought about it, the madder I got with the finale. It wasn’t all the unanswered questions – but how it ended!!! What the hell happened to Sawyer, Kate and everyone else on the plane?? Obviously, they die eventually {because like we were reminded, we all do!} But I was just hacked that the story line just stopped with Jack’s death!!!! I just kept thinking – are.you.serious?!?!

But as I thought about it more – the whole freakin’ show was his story! Don’t get me wrong, they had to tell you everyone else’s story to tell the story – but it was his story! And if we all weren’t so glued to all the other stuff, we would have realized it the first 5 seconds of the first show when we have the close-up shot of Jack’s eye open! And then of course it came full circle when we have the close-up of his eye closing {his death!} – as he lays in the same spot his eye opened when he woke up after the crash 6 seasons ago!!! And did you notice that Vincent, the dog, laid down beside him when he died?!?!? He didn’t die alone – heart wrenching!

I did love how they brought mostly everyone back for the “crossing over.” And how symbolic that they all crossed over together . . . as in they all “left together.” Even though it wasn’t the island as we were hoping! {sniff}

And for those wondering – my opinion about the son that Juliet and Jack had in the alternate verse – he was the symbolism of the brief love that the 2 shared alive on the island.

I have to say, I didn’t see it coming – the ending. I normally always have the endings figured out – this one was too much to even wrap my mind around!! Now that I’ve slept on it, I like the ending – very fitting. BUT only after I really thought about the whole show AND how it was about Jack’s life – not everyone on the screen. I’m still upset not knowing what happens with Sawyer and Kate. But thank God Kate and Jack profess their love for each other before he dies! I would have had to go off in a corner and drink myself to death if I didn’t get that!

I’m sure you all are going to see alot of this today! Sorry, I just still can’t believe how it ended – that’s all. The only show I watch now is Big Love and who knows when it is coming back on. Why bother turning on the TV!!

And because I need pictures in a post . . . .

We were incredibly busy this weekend with the yard! I actually let 2 of my kids {Carson and Emme} pick out all the flowers {only those 2, because the other 2 were in school.} I didn’t help at all! Some choices I’m not a big fan of – BUT they all coordinate well with each other! For some reason those 2 were into orange, red and yellows!

I didn’t get much help planting any of them – which was fine for me. But Em had a real issue with plant placements and started removing them from pots when I would look away! Little Stink!

Amazingly, I had this window box over my tub with the intentions of putting bath stuff in it – you know, like TOWELS! Never happened, so I took it down and had no idea what I was going to do with it. Was about to start offering it to friends. Then it dawned on me to use actually use it for its intended purpose and I had Lonnie hang it under my kitchen window. I had to add the coconut liner – which was a challenge, but I put enough slits in it that it finally folded up nicely and left plenty of room for dirt.

I finished all I that I had to do! My husband on the other hand . . . it will not surprise me if we receive a letter from our communistic HOA tomorrow for the dirt exposed in our yard! We have these 12 plants to put in the ground, plus move around some others. Fortunately all these are hiding in the backyard, shielded by the fence. We didn’t ask permission to change up our landscaping so we are probably going to get a letter anyways, but we are trying to be respectful of our neighbors! Hence the reason we dug up our ghetto monkey grass that was accented with Johnson grass!

I did take a picture of my janky landscaping – but there is noway I’m going to post it till I have an “after” picture!

It was really that bad!

And I still can’t believe that LOST ended like that.
