::drum roll::

Decision made.
I'm getting a Mei Tai (and no, that's not the tasty Hawaiian rum drink that you're thinking of-or maybe it's just me thinking about it since the booze are on the 'no' list...)
The Mei Tai had been the front runner for a while now but my indecisiveness was getting the best of me. I finally just clicked the "purchase now" button and finished the whole mess. I think I'm going to like it. It's got a cute pattern (which also took FOREVER since there were about 100 to choose from), can be worn on your front or your back, and has a pretty good weight range (at least as heavy as I'll probably ever be able to hold). The only downfall is the darned straps. I just hope I don't look like a Christmas present. I'm thinking since I got black it'll cut down on that...but we'll see. They do offer a Mei Tai with buckles but it's seriously another $60 to add those and I suppose I like having that $60 more than the possibility of looking like a Christmas present. Who would have thunk?
But anyhow, here is a picture of what it looks like:

And this is the pattern I chose (I think Sage can totally rock the punk skulls look-and it's reversible. The opposite side will be solid black in case Dana doesn't rock the punk skulls look too well):
