Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the "working man". It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many. Labor Day became a federal holiday by Act of Congress in 1894.

That's from Wikipedia...the source that knows everything except how I am supposed to get a holiday off. What a joke. We were absolutely slammed. Open from 7 AM until 6 PM and then people were mad that we were closing! Holy cannoli!! I was scheduled to work from 10-4 in the liquor room. I did that deliberately so I could work on my schedules for week 35. The phone rang off the hook, then to top it off, they were so busy and so many people had off (or were "sick") that there was no one to relieve me at 4 so I had to stay until 6. Sucked to be me! Oh well. I have my "ME" weekend in Louisville coming up so I will be glad for the extra money. Unfortunately, it won't show up until after I get back! LOL

I got some stitching in on my biscornu and broke out my Eterna silks to add to it and I am just loving it! I will post a picture as soon as I get one full side done. I have the backstitching done on both sides and am putting in the eyelets now. I can't wait to put it together. If I get off here, I may be able to get the stitching done tonight so I can put it together tomorrow since I don't have to be at work until 2:30. Thought I could sleep in but hubby has to be at his new job at 7:30 and he won't get his new truck until he gets there...and I am how he gets there!

OK, off to get the dog her pill and back to my stitching! Happy day to all those who labored!
