This was Labor Day weekend 2012. Labor Day, a day originally created to recognize the dedication and work ethic of the American worker, reflect on the workers of the nation, but seems now to mostly be regarded as the end of summer, filled with pool parties, barbecues, trips to the beach, and an excuse to over indulge in consumption of adult beverages. I did none of those things. However I did learn a few things this Labor Day weekend.
1. Peach salsa from the farmer's market is delightful on fish tacos.
2. Playing the harmonica and pillow fighting with my 3 year old niece may be one of the most fun things to do, ever.
3. When you are 3 and get told to pick up your toys, you can fake a headache and get out of it. That doesn't work when you're in your 30s.
4. I have a vastly different definition of "pulse-pounding thriller" than the person who wrote the review on the back of the Winter's Bone movie case.
5. No slip head wraps do not exist. The packaging is a lie.
6. Finally, "You save big money when you shop Menard's". This lesson was taught to me once again by the littlest person full of wisdom, my niece, who decided to break out into this song while shopping in Target.
Hope everyone has their own small moments of laughter, relaxation, and happiness on this Labor Day weekend. Now prepare to get back to work tomorrow!
