Three Things Thursday: "Lost Edition"

it's been a while since i've participated in three things thursday and after last nights "Lost" season finale in need to say some things about it. so here is my TTT...

1. did everyone get rescued off of the island? (at least everyone who are still alive and who were in the plane crash)

2. who is kate with and the end of the show? (the guy that she had to get back to)

3. who died and was in the casket in jack's flash forwards? and i know it THREE TT but i have another question.... why did jack say to kate that he was tired of lying? lying about what? okay so maybe that was two more questions.

oh who cares here are the other ones that i have......
who is naomi?
who does she work for if not penny?
why did she have a pic of desomnd and penny?
why couldn't charlie find a way out?
how did the original island inhabitants get there?
why is richard not ageing?
why is ben so controlling?
why is he afraid of people coming to the island?
what is he trying to protect it from or who?
is he afraid more dharma initiative people are coming since he killed them all?

so many questions and no answers till jan. 2008.
my hubby thinks the next three years will be about they trying to get back to the island.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
anyone at all with answers or at least you thoughts on the matter.

Three Things Thrusday

three favorite vacation spots

fiji: we got to experiance fiji differently than most people would, i guess. we went on a missions trip there and stayed in the villages with the people and got to know them. it was really an amazing time. we loved every minute of it and often talk about when we can go back.

hawaii: we went to hawaii in november of 2005 for a much needed vacation and we really had a wonderful time. we love the beach and the water and the sunsets. so we would definatally like to go back to visit.

the northwest: we never actually vacationed here we lived here for almost three years. it was three great years where we saw a lot of amazing sights, experianced a lot of amazing things and met a lot of amazing people. we may not ever live there again but vacation definatelly and i'll feel like i'm home.

Three Things Thursday

my favorite books...

1. Clouds by: Robin Jones Gunn when i was younger my mom bought me the Christy Miller series by RJG and she would give me a couple ever so often and i ate them up. i just loved to read them. after the 12 of them came the Seirra Jensen series and then later i found the Glenbrook series. Clouds is in that series and it's just one of my favorites. i love the characters and the setting.

2. it's hard for me to pick just one of these books... it's a series by Liz Curtis Higgs called The Lowlands of Scottland. there are 4 books in the series and they are just really good books.
i wrote this about the first one a while back.

3. finally The Princess by: Lori Wick there's not much i can say about this one just that every woman should read it. i loved it so much. it's been a while since i've read it so i think that i need to read it again.

yeah so all of these books are girly, romance books and those are some of my favorite but i also like Dee Henderson, Clive Cussler, John Eldredge and John Grisham. there are many more authors that i like but don't have all day to write them down.

Three Things Thursday

this week i'm going with favorite Christmas decorations.

1. growing up my mom would hang a bell on the door so that whenever we had guests over the door would ring. i don't have one yet but i want to get one for my door at Christmas time.

2. we also had mistletoe (fake) hanging in the house right by the front door. i need to get me some of that too. now something interesting about mistletoe was that i didn't know that it was a fungus that grew on the top of dead trees. kind of yucky.

3. the ornaments that my mom bought me the year the i was born and has ever since.

Three Things Thursday

three movies that i want to see....

1. The Pursuit of Happiness


2. We Are Marshall


3. Charlotte's Web

Three Things Thursday...

favorite holiday recipes

1. the latest and greatest is pumpkin cranberry bread. you can find the recipe, here, at my wonderful friends blog. she too makes this wonderful tasting bread and was asked by a number of people to post it on her blog. so instead of posting it here you can check out her blog as well as the recipe.

2. i love to make peanut butter blossoms. i think that most people know about those. i just use the peanut butter cookie dough in the roll (i think the recipe may be on there) but just in case it isn't. you get the roll of dough, make one inch balls with the dough and roll it in sugar, bake them for set time, and once you take them out of the oven place a hershey kiss in the middle of the cookie. they are so yummy. another way is to put the dough in a mini muffin pan with the mini muffin paper cups and when you take them out place a mini reese cup in the middle of them. yummy!

3. now this i have never made before and it's not a sweets but it is greatly missed when not made at holiday family gatherings. in fact on thanksgiving my grannie didn't make it and my cousin and i were very sad. it's her macaroni and cheese. it's home made with angel hair pasta and it's just so very good. unfortunately i didn't go home for thanksgiving and i won't see my grannie a christmas either but i think next time i do i will have to request some mac and cheese.
