Labor Day - Am I the only one who doesn't really even understand what this holiday is about? I mean I know what labor of labor day means but . . .

So I went to St. Louis Mills mall with my mom yesterday. Now when shopping with a mother a normal person might get a t-shirt or something out of the deal. A new pair of pants or shoes if they're lucky. What do I get? Three bamboo sticks for happiness. Woo hoo. I can tell I'm much happier already know that I have these three green sticks in a little blue pot on the kitchen table. My life is looking up I'm sure.
Then I went and met Halleh at Ruby Tuesday's. We were gonna go to a movie however we got there at like 7:40 so we missed all the like 7:00 movies and then no others started until like 9:50. So unfortunately we were there at just the wrong time. So we were like "what can we do now?" The most logical thing to do seemed to be to go drink. So that's what we did - and drink we did. In fact we even had to go for a walk around town before either of us felt like it would be safe for us to drive home. As usual I had like incredible conversations with Halleh. Granted there were points when like both of us were gonna cry (we are very serious people Halleh!) but it was really just a really good talk. And once again on my way driving home I had a mild breakdown about leaving Halleh for CO. I hate to see what happens the day I say goodbye to her!
Work today was fascinating as usual. I could really tell stories about it forever.
Well I was tired from work but in a good mood and I'm suddenly finding myself increasingly crabby as I talk to people tonight. Thus I think it's best to get off the computer and get some stuff done instead. It'll be a busy week with working Tues and Thurs evening and overnight.
