The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Finale
So what have we learned so far, in addition to knowing Tyler isn’t a fan of the wall fireplace at Caroline’s house?
1. Alaric is gone. Dead. But don’t discount the fact that he won’t return. In TVD, ghosts are a natural occurrence.
2. Klaus escapes death and goes into Tyler’s body – so what happens to Tyler? AND Caroline-Tyler?
3. What’s the deal Bonnie did with Klaus?
4. Elena chooses Stefan – saying to Damon, “If only we met first.”
5. Flashback to Damon’s memory of actually meeting Elena first, only compelling her to forget.
6. Elena turns.
So her memory will return in Season 4 – what will happen to Damon then?
What’s on My Mind?
1. The amazing season finale of The Vampire Diaries – now I cannot wait until fall!
2. The cliffhanger of an episode of Grey’s Anatomy – please do NOT let Lexie die!
3. The top 3 contestants in American Idol – Go BB Chez aka Jessica Sanchez (or should it be the other way around?)
4. Secret Circle ends with a full circle.
5. New Girl gets renewed!
And all I’m waiting for is the last two episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Glee – and I’m all set for a great boat seating for our beach trip at the end of the month!
Bring it on!
American Idol Season 11 Top 5 Recap

And now they were done to five. My whole family has been rooting for Jessica Sanchez to win (it’s like a done jewelry deal) – but truthfully, every one in the top five can really make an album already – they are all good, even Hollie who has always been at the bottom three. She is emerging as the dark horse of the season!
They covered British music (60s and 80s) and British pop and save for the one billionth standing ovation for Joshua by the judges, it would have been so good (the show):

Wedding Favors: Rosaries
A close friend is finally getting married and since she and her fiance are such Marian devotees, they decided to have rosary bead gifts delivered to their principal sponsors. They are also giving away mini-rosaries to their guests during the reception too.
