Labour Day weekend in the city

For Labour Day this weekend, I stayed within the city limits...Nothing really exciting to report--dinner on friday night at Guu with an old friend to catch up, went to the Aritzia Sale on saturday afternoon and walked and did a mini-tour of downtown then stayed in with the bf for most of the time.  It was still a fun long weekend, especially since it was a four-day weekend for me instead of a 3...Labour Day was still fun!

When one is unable to travel for adventure, one finds adventure in one's backyard!

Hope everyone else found an adventure during the long weekend and had a fun and safe Labour Day!

hugsies!

fyi: if anyone at all has noticed, I mis-spelled 'Labour' in Labour day and spelled it the American way lol.  technically i'm somewhat not wrong, though since we go by the spelling here with the 'u' i had to revert back to it!

Sales! Sales! Sales!

I love holidays for more than just one reason;  It's when I usually take mini vacations or long ones (to maximize my number of work holidays).  If for some reason like say a bf mishap occurs and I end up staying in the city, there's still a reason to love holidays like the upcoming one, Labor Day!

While growing up, I hated Labour day, it meant that school was just around the corner, literally! It also signaled the end of summer lazy days, which I also loved lol.  As an adult, I don't get the same luxuries of two months vacation without consequence, so I don't mind whenever any holidays roll around--especially Labor day.  In fact, I kind of secretly look forward to it now, it's when Fall comes around (as I've mentioned over and again, my fave season) and it's when the kids go back to school which means I don't hear as much ruckus and noise in the playground near my house (which is going to change anyways).  Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but i experience a similar relief that parents feel when their kids finally go back to school lol.

Anyways, (as my Managerial Accounting teacher says) I digress..

As an ode to the upcoming long weekend, I will be posting various sales coming up....

Happy Labor Day =)
