Friday Fragments #17

Welcome to Friday Fragments. If you haven’t fragged before, Friday Fragments is a place to share those thoughts, quips, and tidbits that don’t quite make a whole post, e.g. fragments or frags. I host every Friday and would love for you to join in. Please link up and visit other Fraggers.

Friday Fragments with Star2 Today is the last Friday that my little boy will be 11. Tomorrow he turns 12 and one step further into manhood. But he seems to be pushing back just a little. He gave a very detailed list for his birthday (you can find it here) and none of it included a screen! So maybe he's mine for a little bit longer!

Now that we don't have cable full time, I have come to appreciate good commercials. One of my current favorites is the Geico "It's what you do" campaign. There is a hilarious sea monster breaking into a golf match with the commentators continuing to whisper which is hilarious. The best, however, is Europe singing "Final Countdown" to a microwave counting down.I absolutely love this ad!

Last week, I cheered on my Astros. Well, that journey has come to an end. Better luck next year, boys! Since my team is no longer in play, I am cheering on the Chicago Cubs. How fun would it beI am if the Back to Future II prediction comes true.

Finally. the kids and I are going today to see "Goosebumps".  It looks like spooky fun and a great way to start off our birthday celebration!I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Tell me something to celebrate for you.
