Weird but Cool Weekend

On account of our vacation next week, this had to be a "working weekend" around the house. I made a deal with myself the I was only allowed to do "fun-stuff" at night (which I certainly did every night of course), and I had to get chores/projects done during the days. I had originally planned to work on the 3rd-car area of garage to prepare for my Workout/Laundry/Storage/Craft/GetAwayFromMe room, but Mike wanted to re-seed the lawn. I helped him do a bit of yard maintenance, and of course got my hand stabbed by a cactus through my gloves. Must I injure myself EVERY weekend?

I moved the unfinished art pieces from the hallway to the sitting area in my bedroom, and replaced them with some new super-close up prints of agave and philodendron leaves. Kind of Zen - goes well with my natural/modern scheme. The frame and matting really helps pop the green of the leaves against the green of the walls. The husband didn't even notice. I also installed an under-cabinet light in the kitchen that I had sitting around from an unfinished project. I really liked the end result because it brightened up that corner tremendously. So I was about to install the second light under another cabinet, but because it was for a different project the light was too long for that particular cabinet.

After lunch Mike asked if I wanted to go to Lowe's with him. Duh. Not only did I want to get a shorter light for that cabinet, but I can easily spend a few hours browsing Lowe's. So when Mike goes with me, I use that to put all kinds of ideas in his head about various things we could do to the house. Well, I got suckered. All he wanted was a little bag of grass seed he needed to finish the lawn, so in the car (since I'm already trapped) he says "We should just go to Wal*Mart and get cheap/regular grass instead of the golf-course grass I got at Lowe's, that way we can groceries there, too". Hhh. Super Wal*Mart is my own personal Hell.

As I'm writing this it just started raining AGAIN. After being 99° last Thurs & Fri, I've been loving the cool rainy weather so far. Beautiful!
