www.inkthinkerblog.com — No, really, I do. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always loved going to Staples and buying notebooks and folders and pens and organizer-y things. Today, we swung by Staples so Jesse could pick up some stuff for work. While he was doing his thing, I made the mistake of wandering the aisles alone — and managed to pick up a packet of felt-tipped pens that I’m in love with (see image at upper left), a label maker (woohoo!), and some Post-It flags (which, admittedly, I was running low on). I didn’t really need anything when I walked in, but I managed to spend $40.00. Yes, I’m that talented.
So, like I said, I didn’t need these pens, but man oh man, am I glad I bought them. There’s something exciting and fun about brightly colored pens with perfectly formed tips and lots of ink in them. I think I’m going to be writing my daily to-do list by hand for the next couple of weeks!

I just bought the same pens! And I have a sick obsession with office supplies :) My desk is so clean and having new supplies makes me feel special. It also makes me want to come back to “work” after my self-proclaimed vacation. I enjoy reading your blog.
I know — buying the supplies for school was my favorite part of the year.
I’m with you. We have Warehouse Stationary shops over here in New Zealand with aisles and aisles of ‘office supplies’. I can spend a good hour there. The trick is to leave the shop without buying. Liz
