I’m so tickled. I frequent a website called SlickDeals for sales and bargains on just about anything.

I popped over this afternoon and the top deal was a Baby Bjorn for half price! I know that with my arthritic elbows I’m gonna want to utilize slings and carriers as much as possible, so I’m already on the lookout for deals. My girlfriends over at Fairytales have already been helpful with info on slings and mei teis, but I know that especially for guys, a classic Baby Bjorn is prolly the way to go. Plus, I know that Kelly has already been making good use of hers!

It’s a chocolate brown little number, which makes me happy. Also, it makes me happy that my first purchase wasn’t some silly doll or little outfit that the critter will wear once before outgrowing. Getting a smoking deal on something we’ll use a lot for at least the first year makes my cheap little heart go pitter-pat.

Added 20 minutes later: Oh lord. There’s covers for this thing. I picked up three that were on sale. I’m stepping *away* from the browser now…
