Lady Liberty & Ellis Island

Lady Liberty is exactly that! She is strong, tall, beautiful and most of all one of the many symbols that represent this country. My father and I shared a piece of history last week.

Prior to making it to the Statues home, we hit Ellis Island. Neither of us had been there before, and could not believe the vast amount of learning to be had. What an overlooked piece of history. We were stunned not only with all of what happened in the past but again with the beauty of the entire island. Did you know the island was initially the size of it's first building (the great hall) on the island (3 acres)? They kept adding to the actual island (w/dirt and stone leftover from subways and tunnels being built) over and over again because they kept out growing it. It is now over 27 acres!

It was amazing and we both suggest anyone who hasn't been in a while to check it out...

I can't wait to go again!

HAPPY BDAY PPB!

I'm happy when I get to see him, but I am even more pleased when it's for an occasion!
Hope you had a great Bday "party" Pops!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

MySpace.com Picture

I have been trying, to no avail, to get this to be my MySpace.com picture.
It is too large my ass....it is the exact same size as the one that is on there now.
Any pointers, anyone?
I give up. It gives you the option to re-size, yeah that didn't work.
It is a scam I tell you.
Feel free to comment or write w/any suggestions.

NAPS ARE UNDER RATED

I am sitting here at work, it's only 10:20 AM (feeling like 2PM) and thinking...

My God, naps are so UNDER RATED!!

I would love just a 30 minute nap right now. I don't even need my PJ's,
I'll settle for my blanket and pillow.

I LOVE NAPS
