Past Obsession?

So I've written twice about the elusive Mackage coat that Nordstrom has for sale during their anniversary sale.  After they had cancelled my order, I had jumped on to live chat to ask if they would have more for sale later and if I can still get the sale price.  The customer service representative that they would have some available on line on the first day of the sale which is today.  So as obsessed as I was, I set a calendar reminder to order it at midnight last night.

Well they meant midnight pacific standard time.  So I had the hubster wake me up at 3 am to order the coat online.  Simple, right?  Ha, it was even available on the site!  I googled it and lo and behold, it was already sold out.  I was a bit groggy and half asleep and it couldn't have been later than 3:15 am.  Something smelled fishy.  It almost felt like didn't have any for sale.  As a last ditch effort, I asked the hubster to stop by Nordstrom today and see if they had any in stores.

He went in and talked to a very helpful sales associate.  She called around to several stores and no luck.  She said she would keep trying and would check their shipment tomorrow morning.  The hubster got several calls from the associate and she heard that there would be more released on line tomorrow.  She took his credit card information and would order it for me when it becomes available.  She said that she did not want my order to be cancelled again.  This is why I love Nordstrom.  My bank account doesn't, but I do.

Crossing my fingers that I get it, but at the same time, do I want the same coat as thousands of other women? I guess I can decide when/if I get it.
