iPhone-o-Gram! Machine Acquisition Justification!

Live from Lowes---

The Hubster has found his new gas grill!

I could have bought 2
Marilyns and 2 Barbies for this price.

Nuff. Said!

Bonnie

Edit: make that 2 Marilyns and 3 Barbies!!

Wow that isn't very big to be that expensive, but then I have always had charcoal, Im afraid of gas about took my eyebrows off once lighting one.

If that's a Char-Broil, it's just like the one we got last year. I'm still getting used to hot hot it gets compared to our old one.

Patti said...

Woo hoo!!!!

Ruth Ann said...

Well there are Barbies and there are barbees!

Beazie said...

That's great if he is the operator of it! More sewing time!

The Cozy Quilter said...

He can make you dinner on his barbee while you sew on yours!

Judy D in WA said...

I think we have the larger one next to it. We moved into our house at the end of a September, so grills were on clearance. ;) I fell in love with grilling when my husband was deployed. Ever since he came home, I won't let him near the grill.

Lauren H said...

Well, if the man wants to cook, that leaves you more time for quilting!!!

Pati said...

I still haven't figured out how to tell my hubby about "Violet" yet!!!

Cathy44647 said...

WOOT! WOOT! Yep - that means you can bring out those quilts into the house that you were hiding in the car!!! lol!

sunshineannie said...

ROFLMAO I TOLD YOU!!! too funny. Now HE can cook supper while you sew!

Paul said...

Awww...he'll be warm in the quilts and you'll get to eat BBQ! You both win double.~ Glad you BOTH are blessed (especially with each other).

Isn't it nice to be able to justify your acquisitions?!?
Fun post and comments!

I have a "Big Green Egg" a ceramic smoker/grill/oven- google it and you will see it. You coulda' bought a whole lotta of Marilyn's, Barbie's, and any other machine for the price of this thing. BUT it will last for dang near ever and cooks with lump charcoal, can go from 0-500 degrees in 2 minutes and is SO DELICIOUS whatever you make on it. BEST investment we ever made.

PS: I also name all of my machines...

Mavis said...

LOL. Hilarious.

Mary said...

So is his named Barb-B-Q? I had to laugh too. I bought my DH a New Camera this year for his Birthday, I broke mine. Maybe I'll have to buy him a BBQ for Mother's Day.

Anonymous said...

And when he says it doesn't count because it's for you to use too, tell him he can use your sewing machines. LOL

Becky Clay said...

Pretty and shiny..looks like r2d2, isn't it..ya know that robot?

Marilyn said...

I am glad I read a few more comments as I wondered who Marilyn was and Barbie too. I name my machines as well so quickly caught on. You can tell I am a newbie to this list. But enjoying you all so much and Bonnie you are a hoot. I love it when my DH grills. It makes supper clean up a snap! Just tell DH everything is delicious that he makes!!Marilyn in SC

Sewing Sue said...

I don't think you needed a justification to buy a machine but this is hilarious! I am right there with everyone else laughing my whatever off!! My DH must be his long lost brother because our bbq is just about as big... :-)

debbie m said...

I think that's the grill we have. It's hard to fine one that is small enough for a family of 2. It's still big enough to cook several burgers, steaks, chicken parts, etc. We just don't need to cook for an army.

debbie m said...

Mary, I use to buy my husband tools I wanted...until I had all the tools I wanted. Now I buy what's on his list, lol.

45th Parallel Quilter said...

My husband would be right next to yours ... there is something in their genes (jeans??) about going out from the cave, killing something and dragging it back to cook it ... I swear! My beloved likes to performance "transplant surgery" on our grills ... he gets replacement parts as they wear out and keeps patching, patching, patching ... they look odd but cook GREAT!

Impera Magna said...

I remember my mother talking with a neighbor who said: The only difference between men and boys... is the price of their toys!

I didn't get it way back then... but I certainly do now!


*LOL*

I think you have just justified buying a KENmore sewing machine. Then you'll have Barbie and Ken.

Lynda said...

That looks like a Char-Broil Quantum (infrared heat) - I bought one two years ago for my hubby - love the results but it smokes a lot and is a bear to clean. The size is perfect for my small patio and I love the fold down tables on each side. Enjoy.

Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting said...

That's ok. Now HE gets to grill all summer, while you sew.
