School Supplies

I have a weakness...okay, maybe several weaknesses. But one in particular I would like to share with you today: school supplies. I love me some school supplies. Getting a new notebook, all the pages blank, just waiting for me to fill them with all kinds of learning. Or the amazing way a new gel pen glides so smoothly over the otherwise blank paper. Or putting extra lead in a new mechanical pencil because the eraser still comes out since it hasn't been used. Or filling a new backpack with everything needed for the first day of school. So satisfying.

I was that kid. The one who got excited for school to start every year. The one who loved to go school supply shopping. The one who got the matching pens and pencils. The one who picked out a backpack based on the number of pockets. The one who still wants to buy new school supplies even though I haven't been in school for two years.

And so as I go to Wal-Mart or Target I fight the temptation to buy a new package of pens or a notebook or some pencils or a new backpack. But I fear I cannot keep fighting this urge for school supplies that I don't I need.

But maybe there's a solution: Go back to school. Now that's just crazy thinking. I think it'd be cheaper to just buy a new a pen every once in a while.

Noni Fun Fact: I carry at least 5 writing utensils in my purse at any given time.
