o0o0o0h.... aaaaah... pencils, sharpies, binders!

I know this may sound ridiculous, but I just wanted to embrace the fact that stationary excites me. I have always known this about myself, but I have never truly embraced it. I went into staples today and I felt like I was a kid in a candy store. There were so many colors, shapes, sizes, and styles of everything you could ever want on your desk and in your backpack. Seeing all the different kinds of stationary (many things that weren't even invented when I was in grade school) really made me want to go back to school. There was this pencil holder that strapped onto your binder and it was only $1.50! I almost bought it, but then I realized that I don't have a binder to clip in to at the moment. I am also amazed by pens and all the colors they can come in. I love sampling them and seeing which colors looks good together. I think the only reason that I tended to be so organized when it came to school work was because I loved using stationary so I color coordinated and separated by tabs and folders. I miss being able to use all this stationary, but as a writer I always find little ways to sneak some cool stationary into doing my work. So for all you out there still in school, embrace all the cool things you can do to stay organized because you will miss it! (does that even make sense? lol)
