On Friday, I found my office's new stash of Post-It notes and that may have been the highlight of my week. Someone got indulgent and ordered a jumbo box with pads in purple, lime, yellow and turquoise. Therefore, I have been thinking of things to jot down on a Post-It note all day.
As much as I love technology, I am obsessed with the written word. If I could make this blog post all these entries in my handwriting, I would. I love writing things down. Maybe it's because I love my handwriting. A teacher once told me that I draw, not write, my words.
In the same way I like to write things, I am also obsessed with office supplies (hence, the jubilation over a Post-It). Do I need to remind you of the Great Planner Debate from earlier this year? I gave more thought each year to what kind of supplies I was going to buy on the first day of school than what I was going to wear. And true story: for my 9th birthday, my grandparents gave me a $50 gift certificate to the teacher supply store. You'd have thought I won the lottery.
Pens. Paper. Notepads. Ob. Sessed.
Just imagine what happens when my obsessions/worlds collide (ie: monogrammed notepads - I'm drooling at the thought).

I just went down and got some new pens from the supply room. I don't think I got as excited about it as you did.
ReplyDeleteMust not be very good pens.
ReplyDeleteI also love office supplies. I can spend an hour easily in a store like Office Depot just imagining all the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI'm obessed with Sharpies, Post It notes, and dry erase markers.
ReplyDeleteI visit the supply closet at my office at least once a day. It's like Christmas. Binders, pens, ink cartridges, Post It's in every size imaginable. I even have some themed Post Its with "The Office" on it.
ReplyDeleteI also really enjoy well-sharpened carmine pencils to check traffic signal plans with.
