Friday Fragments

Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, "Heard" items, and other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post.  Here we go....

• I took last week off from Friday Fragments.  I hope ya didn't miss me too much.  :)  I just had absolutely nothing going on, so I had nothing to write about.  Good times!  :)

• I was driving M to dance on Tuesday when I heard something strange on the radio.  I had been scanning stations and came across a hard rock station that was playing Bon Jovi (not the something strange).  I jammed until the song ended and the strains of the next song came through.  I kept thinking over and over that I knew the song, but just couldn't place it...until the lyrics started.  It scared the crap out of me.  Some songs just shouldn't be remade, ever.  It's kind of one of those you have to hear it to believe it. *Shudder*

• While I'm mentioning songs, what is the deal with You Found Me by The Fray?  I just don't get it.  It is just a carry over from the Gray's Anatomy theme song hit?  Neither is really a great song to me.  Anyone?

• B brought home his 3rd semester report card with all A's.  Yea!

• I got my eldest son's plane tickets purchased last week.  We're all excited.  He'll be here in less than 5 weeks.  Yea!

• When I was talking to D on the phone last night, we had a conversation about some things going on in his life.  He told me about some stuff he just had to deal with, and I got to tell him how proud I was of how he handled the whole situation.  It's scary when they have to make life decisions by themselves and all you can do is stand back and pray to God that you've done enough in teaching for them to make the right choices.  Last night I may have gotten a glimpse that I have.  *Gulp*

• We're still holding on to that one last Mickey Mouse fish.  Now we have another issue.  We have 4 large snails that have been doing a great job keeping the tank clean.  Now they've started to procreate.  I had no idea snails were shelled bunnies that live in water.  We now have 3 baby snails.  Well, we've seen 3 only once.  I'm thinking #3 got eaten by the sucker fish or something as we haven't seen it since.  We definitely have 2 babies though.  Baby snails are kinda cute, in a slimy sort of way.

That's all I've got this week.  Y'all have a great weekend!

I've heard snails are aquatic bunnies. Watch out!LOL

I understand you don't get the song. I kind of like it, although I have to admit I never heard it until I just looked it up. Anyway...I saw this...

In an interview, Isaac Slade expressed his meaning behind the lyrics of the song:
“ You Found Me is a tough song for me. Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you’re let down, sometimes you’re the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I’m still right in the thick of it. There’s some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest. ”

But, I'm betting you still don't care for the song. And that is A-OK! :) Have a great weekend!! It's suppposed to be gorgeous.

I am not a fan of seether or the frey however the beans and mr gp are...I of course am still stuck in the 80s lol

YAY on all A's!!!! and getting to see your eldest in 5weeks!

[Harriet]

All A's Woohoo!

[Angie]

I had no idea that snails were in the rabbit family. LOL!

That remake of Careless Whisper is, well, frightening.

And yay for all A's!!

I certainly know how you feel about having your child living away from home and hoping you've done everything you can to prepare them to make the right decisions. My oldest is five hours away, and it makes me crazy to not be there 24/7, but sometime we have to let go and let them be independent.

I'm sure you've done/are doing a great job with all your kids!

I took last week off too! :)

Anyways glad your back...or for that matter me as well. I tend to like Seether from time to time but when I read your comment 'It scared the crap out of me.' I nearly died laughing.

Also the Frays You found me came out LONG before the lame Greys theme song and I pretty much love it's message. It's overplayed airtime however, I will DEF take a rain check on. And by rain check I mean don't want to hear it for the next 5+ years. (minimum)

good FF's :)

Sounds like a great week!

They tell me that parenting doesn't end when your kids turn 18. I'm sure it's harder for control-freak parents, so let's be glad we are not that kind. I'm happy and excited for you; enjoy your visit with your son.

Yea on the grades!!

P.S. I missed you a lot! :)

It's feels good when you see that all the very difficult "The Mama" work is paying off. Pat yourself on the back and enjoy.

I thought shelled bunny story was really funny.

I forgot - I like the song. He sounds very passionate about what he is singing. The guitar solo at the end is very 70s.
