Friday Fragments #43

Happy Friday! Thanks for swinging my way again as I look at the fragmented thoughts that accumulate over the week.I can't help but comment on the great loss of Robin Williams. I know I am not alone in hoping that a new discussion about mental health and depression evolves out of this tragedy.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince:And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!Why does the drum come hither.

There was another great loss in Hollywood. I grew up loving Lauren Bacall and it she was indeed a Lady of the stage and screen. Who didn't want to learn to whistle after she so cunningly asked, "You know how to whistle, don’t you Steve? You just put your lips together, and blow."

I cannot believe that we have one week left of summer. I feel like I say it every year but where did the time go? This week, the kids enjoyed a Lego camp with a Minecraft theme. At first, I just registered my son. Last week, however, my daughter asked if she could go. I double-checked and when we confirmed that there was still space, she was over the moon. She has loved the camp! Yesterday we had this conversation:Little Diva: Mommy, I love Lego camp.Me: That's great.LD: I like it more than acting camp.Me: That's wonderful, baby.LD: You don't like acting anymore?Me: No, I love acting, but it's a hard life.LD: So you don't want me to be an actor.Me: I want you to be whatever you want to be.LD: That's good because I don't know yet.Me: And you don't have to.

Little Diva has actually had a lot to say lately. Here are a couple of my favorites:She told me that she wanted to help find me a "real job" to which I told her, "being a Mommy is a real job". Without missing a beat, she says "well, 'career' then". It took everything I had to not crack up in front of her. She calls Bubble Baths "Bubbly Baths". It's probably more accurate and I just love the sound of her voice as she says it.The discussion of bubbly bubble baths made me look for this photo of Sonny-Bunny. It was his first introduction to jacuzzi jets. He may have used a little too much bubbly bath. What do you think? Those are my Friday Fragments. Check out others at Half Past Kisssin' Time.
