Obsession

So about a month ago, Charles and I were home on a Thursday night (strange, I know...). We were flipping through the channels and turned on LOST. Bad mistake #1. It was the first episode of the fourth season. We were so intrigued, but so "lost" (no pun intended) at the same time. So what did we do? We decided to rent the first few episodes to clear up some of our confusion. Bad mistake #2. Around this time, Charles convinced me to join him in a master cleanse (www.therawfoodsite.com/mastercleanse.htm). Mistake #3. You drink salt water and a lemonaide concoction for 10 days straight. NOTHING ELSE. No grilled cheese, no taco bell, no iced mocha, NOTHING. After about 18 hours, I about had it. So being the most amazing husband in the WORLD, he ran to the video store and rented not just the next episode of LOST, but the entire first season...24 episodes in order to distract my hunger paings and give me some sort of incentvie Mistake #4. We compared how much it would cost to rent season 2 with the cost of just buying it, but low and behold, some friends from church (way to go Will and Mandy) own not just season 2, but season 3 as well. (It costs approx. $30 to rent it, $50 to buy it, free if your friends will lend it to you). After you watch the first few episodes, you cannot rest until you find out the answers to some of life's most important questions

• how did locke end up in a wheel chair in the first place?



• does kate like sawyer or jack?



• does rose ever find bernard?



• who was flying the yellow air plane that crashed in the jungle?



• WHAT IS INSIDE THE HATCH????



• WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN???

Last weekend we were planning on hosting some students who were visiting from Clearwater Christian College. I had the blow up bed all made, the house clean. We turned on LOST and waited until it was time to pick them up from the church. We got a call right before we were about to turn the TV off and found out they wern't coming. Now, I didn't blow up that bed for nothing! We moved it out into the living room and fell asleep to LOST. We woke up the next morning and spent the entire day on that blow up bed watching LOST. We finished the second season Saturday night. Sunday morning at church, Will just happened to have season 3 in his car. I am sorry to report that we watched all 72 episodes of LOST in less than one month. Mistake #5. Now that we are current, we are going through withdrawls. We have never had to wait a week, (or even an hour) to find out the answers to such meaningful questions as:

• Where did Michael and Walt end up?



• Who are the strangers from the freighter?



• Is Juliet friend of foe?



• Does kate like jack or sawyer?



• WHO IS IN THE CASKET????? (this is the question I want answered most of all)

I have a confession to make. I like to read blogs and posts about the show. I actually made a post today. What the heck. Its crazy. So if any of you out there have answers to any of my current questions let me know. (i found out about locke....can you believe that guy???? thank you, sawyer!, and cute rose and bernard!). But WHO IS IN THE CASKET? And what about Jin?! What happens to him? Is he part of the Oceanic 6? I am a mess.
