impyHappy New Year! 2015 is off to a good start (knock on wood). I still had to do cig count at work but it wasn't awful, and there weren't any super crazies so I count that as a win.
On the AG front (it's tradition!) I spent the evening at work pondering the Grace situation. I really want Grace. Like, reallyreallyreally, but I couldn't figure out whether to get her with her ears pierced and/or her 'Welcome' accessories. I threw her in my cart when I got home and nearly fainted at the price.
So I thought some more and finally decided to give it another few minutes and I'd check PT... where I promptly found out the Crayola code is/was still working. I scampered off to try it and it still worked! So I put Grace and Grace alone in my cart and it was essentially like getting shipping for $2.95. Which was pretty close to free shipping so I said yes and bought her.
Come on, you knew I was going to, it was just whether I'd choose to buy anything else right off the bat, too. Which I didn't because payday isn't until next week. But I was sorely tempted and had I not been afraid that at any second they'd revoke the code, I probably would have gotten her City outfit or maybe her coat. Alas, she and Kaya will rejoice in all the goodies from the previous sales until I cave on some of her stuff.

I swear, each time it looks like they're learning from the BB fiasco they take two steps back elsewhere.
So I'll be getting plain Grace but I'm still excited about her, even if I think AG sees dancing dollar signs when they look at her. Woe.
