Labor Day?

hi guys! :)

Do any of you know what Labor day is??? Like why it originated?? I sure as heck have no idea. SO... I took it upon myself to find out. Here's what I got:

"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country."

There you have it... the meaning of Labor day. I guess that makes sense... it being called LABOR day and all. I'm not too sure what one is supposed to do on Labor Day, except for bask in the glory of the 1st 3 day weekend of school and lay around and watch TLC Trading Spaces Marathons. I think there is usually a parade, right? And some sort of Bingo night at the American Legions club?? ;) I-43, O-16....etc... I plan on going to the mall and seeing if I can't find me some new jeans and maybe an outfit for job interviews. I have some options, but I'd like one that just screams 22 year old professional!!! If only I had Clinton and Stacy of 'What not to wear' fame on my team!!! I'd nab these jobs quicker than John Kerry changes his mind! :)

Speaking of... I found out during our family lunch outing yesterday that my Dad is more than likely going to vote for George Bush, too. I thought it was funny because my Mom doesn't want us too, but I think we are!! :) Yet another illustration of just how alike my Pops and I are.

OK..... Well, that's enough out of me. I'm gonna go start reading "Blue like Jazz" again. It was sooo good, I think if I read it a 2nd time I will catch all the stuff I missed the 1st time around. Then I'll do a little guitar playing. I'm writing some songs these days. Mostly about things that have transpired in my life recently. About how God takes you in places you never even thought you'd be... about how a lot of the time you have to wait for what's being prepared for you.... about how sometimes a simple word of forgiveness heals 6 months of a broken heart and how those few words of consolation can allow you to feel the caliber of peace Christ can truly give you.

Blessings,
