(Oh, wait, I'm going to the outlets in July...)
You are soooo unselfish like that.
As for the wallet, DH buys his from a police supply site, he has to have a special place for his badge.He'd probably look at me like
if I bought him a Coach wallet. He just doesn't understand.
THey were in the KEYS yest!! and DIL had to call and tell me she bought her FIRST Coach purse for 90bucks!!!! Lucky gal!! She was so proud!! I told her she did GOOD 
Crud, I just checked the mail and nothing for me. The outlet store has my name, email and address, not a "real" store. I did get a 50% coupon to Gymboree! Not that Russ needs anything. How am I supposed to get through this deployment without a new purse?
Another truly unselfish person.
They're here! They're here!
The Stripey one is so cute and it looks like I should take it to the beach. It looks like summer.
The PATCHWORK! There are no words. I don't think I've ever been this in love with a bag. In person, it is a million times better than online.
And I am so, so jealous over the patchwork. But you deserve it! 
I think I'd rather save the deployment moola for the outlet. Maybe I should just claim the entire "family separation pay" for myself.
I'm so glad they came! I'm thinking about going to Nordstrom's just to see the Patchwork in person. I'm still in love with the wave one I saw on eBay, but I have no idea when it came out. A friend and I are planning an outlet trip in July.
On a deployment note, every month or so they have a "bazaar" where the townspeople sell stuff on base. Last time DH bought me two fake LV purses. VERY fake LVs. Another friend told me they also sell Coach - and "real" ones, just second quality. I'm not really sure Coach would sell seconds in the middle of nowhere.
And are you using your BAH right now? Is he tax free? Not that I used this money at all this year treating myself or anything.
) He is tax free and hazard pay, but we're saving that for Vegas. Hmmm, wait, there's a Coach outlet IN Vegas. AND a real store, too. I can pretend to be generous and say we're saving it for Vegas, but not specify WHAT in Vegas I'm spending it on.....
We're in base housing, so no BAH. (But I am running the a/c even though it's only 60 outside.
. So glad I did. They are by far my favorites.
I am trying to stay away from that bag. I returned the one I bought last week but next week I am heading out on vacation and there is a COACH outlet Oh, my poor CC's...they haven't seen this much on them ever!
