We are so in Barbeque

So remember when I started this blog, and it was about how the bonus my office is planning on giving was going to go to a Barbeque, or at least that was my husband's plan? Well, as it turns out, the bonus is going to go to a designer purse instead, yay!

No, it's not because I am a terrible harpy of a wife and have decided against the BBQ plan. It's just that what with that last blog about unicorns and all, we decided we'd put some money from our tax refund to a new BBQ. And then my fabulous sister (and perhaps sole reader of this blog) and her husband actually chipped in for it as a house warming gift. And then gave us possibly the sweetest BBQ tool set known to man.

We've had this BBQ for like, 2 weeks maybe, and so far my husband has already cooked us hamburgers and hotdogs, bbq chicken, and even leg of lamb. And I have a feeling that's just the beginning. In a word, my husband is OBSESSED with our new acquisition.

He is so happy that it's warm enough for us to grill, although he says he'll be grilling in winter too. I am happy that he's happy, and I am happy that it's warm because now people are having garage sales! Although we have a BBQ, and are buying a fence, and hopefully getting a doggie, there isn't a vast river of money flowing around us. So I am hoping to supplement some of the empty spaces in our house with yard sale purchases.

I went on my first forage this weekend and came back with a very cool hunter green cabinet that I think will work really well in our dining room. I also got a very cute drawing of cats (its not as cheesy as it sounds) that is in a hunter green wood frame. Two different sales, and I find two hunter green things, random! But I got great prices and hopefully I will be to find more stuff that we need for the house, like a bistro set for the patio and a comfy chair for my office.

As for the designer bag, let's just say that the designery-ness of said bag will have a lot to do with whether the bonus is walmart worthy or marc jacobs-ly delicious.
