In Honor of Labor

Hello Labor Day weekend! After what has been a less than stellar week - capped off by not one but two bigger companies (one of which I worked with last year) telling me that my stuff is "too nice" for them to carry, I officially welcome in the long weekend a day early. I have all sorts of fun stuff planned like going for a run as soon as I peel myself out of my pjs and maybe even making a reappearance at yoga today (cause lord knows I could use a little deep breathing to find my 'center' right about now). I'll do some packaging of product because it's actually a really fun mindless task I enjoy and can sit down and catch up on Oprah or see what sort of drama Brava has on while doing the packaging. So while a little work is on the table for this weekend (albeit the mindless stuff), I hereby dedicate this weekend to things like bike rides (if the weather holds); visiting the aquarium (if the weather doesn't); 'Bollywood Bash' - an evening that will include Indian food takeout, Slumdog Millionaire from Netflix, and the absolute best bottle of Reisling you've ever had; trying to control the ivy in the yard (ha!); etc. Basically, try to celebrate Labor by not doing any of it.

The one big work-related task this weekend is to get all the tradeshow stuff ready to be picked up on Tuesday. That means we've got to get the pallet ready and get it down to my workspace for pickup. As a reward we'll be treating ourselves to a little outdoor kayaking (if the weather holds) followed by some Mexican food or a little Mexican margaritas (if the weather doesn't) followed by some Mexican food. Either way I see it as a win-win situation.
