The Lost pilot and some other scenes were shot up at the very northwest corner of Oahu, at an out-of-the-way, remote beach. We went there. The fuselage from the planes in the show are stored at an airfield across the street from this beach, but I didn't know that until later and we didn't see it.
Lost fans here too. Clicked on your name randomly from that comment list for the giveaway at DesignMom. 4 kids, next year we celebrate our 10th -- I want to go to Atlantis -- and my husband grew up in Lindon. Small world.

We spent the day with Neil and Diana. Went to the Desert Sonoran Museum and to Cafe Poca Cosa. It was all delightful! I kept looking at Neil and thinking, "Man, he looks like Matthew Fox!" He says no one ever stares at him and asks him if he is Fox, but I say it's bound to happen soon.AG

For those of us who haven't met your brother, do you have a picture?
I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...
First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
