Mixed Success

On Saturday, Chris and I tried to find a dining table for our deck.

Different stores we visited: 6

Number of times we went into stores: 7 (we visited one twice)

Tables we bought: 0

Seriously, I did not think it would be so hard to find a patio dining table for under $40. But it proved to be impossible. We thought we had found a great wrought iron table from a store called Garden Ridge, where everything seemed to be on sale. Except for the table.

So that was a bust. As was Wal-Mart, as was Academy Sports, as was everywhere else we went.

We finally gave up on the table shopping and went to the liquor store, where we're always guaranteed success.

After dragging our hot, tired, defeated souls home, we spent the rest of the afternoon doing this:

Homemade margarita, magazines, sunny deck. Win!

On Saturday night, we went to a barbeque that my work-friend Lindsay and her husband Michael were hosting. Lots of eating and drinking, and definitely a lot of fun.

After leaving M&L's, we continued our going out festivities, and thus spent all of Sunday doing mostly nothing.

Despite the lack of table and the lack of ability to be at all productive on Sunday, I'd say we had a pretty good weekend.
