Stuff for a Friday

I wish I'd found these before the premiere... I think we should totally print these off and use them when watching. This is from Sci-Fi Wire (where you can find more cards), but I saw it first at Crissy's Tumblr page.

My fave? The square where "Someone is cryptic when they should be direct." We'd have all had that one marked off this past week!

My DocArzt column went up late yesterday. I try to make a case for why we should be a little easier on "What Kate Does" (while deep down I know this will be one of those episodes I'll have to "get through" on a rewatch... but don't tell anyone I said that).

While I try to keep things light on the blog, I sometimes move into the realm of sappy... and that's usually when I'm talking about my kids. Like this time, for instance. But I was thrilled yesterday to find out that my husband can be just as sappy as I can. While I usually don't use his name (nor do I post pics of my kids) I can't resist sending you over to his golf blog today to hear him tell a story about our favourite teddy bear. And you'll get a glimpse of my sweet little 2-year-old man that I talk about on here.

And speaking of kids, I must share what my daughter said the other day: as we were pulling away from my son's daycare, she commented on the cutouts on the window: "Mommy, if Valentine's Day is all about love, why do people keep putting up pictures of fairies holding weapons?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, the wisdom of the young.

And finally, I have good and bad news for Lost fans who follow my posts. On March 9 I will be in the UK, and won't be able to see the new episode (and I'll be busy on the 10th so I can't actually download it and post late). So there won't be any post that day. BUT... so as not to disappoint, I'll be watching your comments in the coming weeks and I'm going to choose a couple of people to guest blog in my absence. So keep those Lost comments coming week after week, and I'll contact a few people to see if you're interested in being Nikki for a day. Because, as we all know, it takes three people to do my job.

(OK, seriously, I'm only saying 3 people so that you guys get some different perspectives on everything and that no one person is pressured to write a REALLY LONG post.)

And while I'm at it, I'll mention that I'm heading off to sunny (I hope) Mexico next week from February 18-25, but we've actually chosen a resort with wireless in the rooms and satellite TV so I'll still be able to post. Yep. THAT is how much I care about you guys. I promise to be thinking about all of you as I'm swimming in the ocean and sipping Mai Tais on the beach, because that is just the kind of considerate person I am. ;)
