New Year!

[impy]

Happy 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.
