Mmmmmm. The smell. The selection. I love it all. What am I talking about?
Office supplies, of course!
Paper, pencils, pens, markers, erasers, paperclips, label makers, rubber bands, postits in every color, adding machines, tape, highlighters, binders...well, you get the idea. I am drooling even as we speak.
I have always loved them. When we go shopping, I will spend more time in that aisle than anywhere else. I have never had to search for a pen or pencil. In fact, about a year ago, I went through all my stashes and gave a gigantic bag of pens to my mom for her classroom. I always have at least 2-3 pens/pencils in my purse. Always at least 1 pen. One of my pet peeves was standing in line at the checkout and the person in front of me asking the clerk to borrow a pen. I never understood how they didn't have one!
When the sales come on for school supplies, I have to force myself to not spend money. Right now I have 20 10-count, 4 12-count and 5 24-count boxes of pencils, 16 boxes of 12-count colored pencils, 29 boxes of 12-count mechanical pencils, 3 boxes of 12-count markers, 24 spiral notebooks, and 10 packages of loose-leaf lined paper. I will NEVER run out of pencils! LOL I think it's time to donate to my mom!
Since the schools here aren't allowed to send a list of required school supplies home (which I think is the most idiotic thing in the world!), I always ask the teachers what they need for their classrooms, so I can go shopping for school supplies. White board markers and erasers are always on the top of the list.
So if you ever need to borrow a pen, come on over. Of course I will have to go through and make sure you don't take one of my favorite ones! So give me fair warning so I can start the grieving process!
