OK. So I got the whole crew up at 6:30 this morning to try to get out of the door at 7. Ha! My DH decided to trim DS#1's hair before going !?! We all got in the car and took off at 7:20. Then hit traffic because of construction which tacked on an extra 15 minutes. Then DH decided he had to go potty and get something else to eat on top of the bfast he ate before we left...So we got to Round Rock an hour after they opened. I had a couple of bags on hold but I wanted to see what was still on the shelves... Got handed a coupon for an extra 10% off of the 20% off of the marked down prices. Headed to the back as soon as I got there.
I grabbed a Natural Ali and the only slim flap color I saw (in Whiskey). There was one other Whiskey slim flap and a Whiskey Ali (which was pretty beat up). I then had them get my bags on hold out for me. The Natural Ali on hold for me was better than the one on the shelf so I put that back. I took the stuffins out of both bags and looked and thought. DH was really pretty good about me going and getting a bag so I didn't even try for two. The other Whiskey slim flap got picked up by someone (who bought it two people in front of me in line when I checked out) and when I looked more closely at the one I had, it had a black spot on it about the size of a nickel on the side seam and a bunch of little black dots on the back side.
Two SAs there were really helpful and checked to see if they had any more slim flaps in back - nope. That was it. They checked with the manager and she said if I wanted the Whiskey slim flap that I could get an extra 10% off of the other discounts but it would be a final sale item. I thought about it (and thought about it). I wasn't as wild about the whiskey color and I liked the fact that the Ali would sit flat on the floor while the slim flap wouldn't (despite what I said in the slim Carly thread), and at first I thought the Ali might be too big for me but then I thought about my recent thoughts that my medium Carly wasn't quite as big as I like and the slim flap would be *about* the same size (although a little thinner than the Carly I think). And the fact that I had went there for the Ali (although I didn't know they would have slim flaps....) SOOOOOO.....I ended up with........
