Underneath Tonight's Half-Moon

Ugh... is tomorrow REALLY a workday? How did this super-sized weekend slip by so quickly?!?! Mom & I tried to take advantage of it by spending an extra hour at the beach; but, alas, our sun-on-the-beach time has slipped through our fingers like the finest grains of sand underneath our perfectly manicured toes!

We celebrated our independence at the 2nd Ave pier tonight. You know, you just have to TRUST that people who are setting off fireworks on the beach (the everyday joe's, not the city folks who set off the real ones from the pier) have at least a little bit of sense. But, they often DON'T! After we got a face full of burning embers, we decided it was time to move. And those dummies lost their privileges to set off fireworks. Just wish I could enforce that rule!

So... did you go watch fireworks tonight? Did you happen to see the moon? It was sooo pretty over the ocean. :) Isn't it funny that we can all share the same moon, no matter how far apart we are?

Anyway... I wanted to make sure Dad saw his picture on yesterday's post, so I lent him my laptop. Don't know why this strikes me as so funny, but it does, so here's today's sweet lil' pic of Dad:

And... assume the position...:

Finally... I've been living out of the same (SMALL) suitcase for over a week now. Isn't it obvious?! :)
