Long Weekend "Rap" Sheet

I'm not quite sure what we did over Labor Day weekend:

I do remember...
Making Casey watch an obscene amount of 30 Rock, one episode in particular driving me nuts because he had to ID a whole slew of rappers for me, and was slightly aghast I couldn't name a Woo Tang Clan song (is that even how you spell that? I'm going to get it later.)

Convincing Casey to build me a planter box, only to decide I didn't like said planter box and now I have 200 lbs. of soil with no planter box to put it in.

Returning to the 21st century: we signed up for cable (but not all the way, just the 12 basic channels.) But before that Casey spent the afternoon seeing if could cheat cable from an antenna. Turns out you can! But only if you want to watch one Spanish-language channel.

Surfing Craig's List for free rock.

Trying to figure out where to get straps of leather. (What? You figure that one out.)

Going to Home Depot every day.

Making Casey (do you notice a lot of sentences start this way? I love you, honey!) lug in a free trunk to find a home for it, then lugging it back out when I decided it needed to be restained.

By far my crowning achievement was the total and utter smackdown of the pink chair- my $15 Value Village find, which after some repadding, restapling, rejiggering is thankfully no longer pink.
