So…it seems like a lot of women have this obsession with office supplies. (I don’t know any men who admit to it but maybe they’re too busy obsessing about tools and electronic gadgets?)
I have two relatively new must-haves: gel pens and notebooks.
Gel pens run out ridiculously fast because of the thick ink so I buy them at least two packages at a time. They must be colorful — the fewer black ones in the set, the better — and if they have sparkles, so much the better! These make note taking, affirmations and to-do lists FUN. 
They’re coolest when I go outside to work and the sun shines down, making my whole notebook sparkle.
The notebooks…we’re not just talking about cheap Meads. I’m on a kick where I go to Borders and buy a “nice” one with a thick plastic cover with colorful designs on it. The last one I bought had rainbow skull holographs to match the cover for my iphone. Last week I spotted a fun, colorful robot notebook…but so far I’ve resisted. (It’s nagging away at me, screaming BUY ME, BUY ME! I will return to it…)
What about you? Any office supply obsessions to confess? I know I can’t be the only OSO nut out there…
Totally!
Notebooks and pens–most of which may see use in the first few days then sit on a shelf or in a corner for the remainder of their lives. I have them everywhere in the house, the car, my purse, etc.
Calendars. Tor some reason, I feel posessed to schedule my life, even though I hate being boxed into a schedule. I love all the orgnaization that goes into it, the thought, the planning, how pretty my life looks in colors and boxes on the paper. Never actually turns out that way. Which I suppose is good because if it did, I’d be bored.
The office supply portion of the brain is a strange, eclectic thing.
oh, yea. Since we homeschool, I’m fairly certain we have more office supplies than a normal house. I LOVE sharpie markers. They are the only things that are off limits to the kids, so they are ALL mine!!
And, my hubby just cringes every time he hears me say, “I need to go to Staples, office max, etc” Is it a bad sign that I have frequent buyer cards/teacher discount card for every office supply chain? LOL!
I buy alot of pens!
Oh absolutely! I could spend hours upon hours in office supply stores! Pens of all kinds, notebooks, sharpies (love the clickable ones and their new pens), and really just about anything else you would find there! At one of my prior jobs, I got to order all of the office supplies and could order whatever I wanted for the office – heaven!
