Why you don't send a man to Lowe's alone...

So last weekend we had some friends over for dinner and games, and we tried to straighten up the house a bit. Pat decided to head over to Lowe's to pick up some light bulbs as we had many burned out bulbs throughout the house. So, he's gone for a really long time and I assumed he stopped somewhere else. When he returned home, I was in the back bedroom getting ready. He's all smiles and charming, which means something is up. He tells me that he bought something else at Lowe's and he thinks I should come check it out. Behold the firepot (if that's even what it's called). He proceeds to explain that it puts out more heat than a fire pit and it will add ambiance to our patio and enhance our entertaining. He goes ahead and lights a fire in it and it put out so much smoke you'd think our house was on fire. We quickly put the fire out and decided we better wait until after dark to attempt it again. Well, our friends came over and we never used it that night. Fast forward to tonight. Pat made a fire and we sat out on our patio with some coffee (from his new French press, which is a whole different story), and I must admit, it is pretty cool. So anyways, that's the firepot story. Funniest part is, he forgot the light bulbs.
