Well, not White-Out. That's mostly because I'm just too impatient to let it dry thoroughly before writing on it again which causes a bumpy, icky mess. And that's just awful. I demand perfection on my papers!! Or, well, close to it. [Just ask anyone who has made the unfortunate mistake of writing in my planner or on my notes during class. EEP!!! It takes a lot to render me speechless, but that's nearly one way to do the trick.]
This is serious stuff, people. In college my roommates even knew when I had a really bad day because I would be gone for a while to wander around Walmart [ aka as close to "getting away from it all" as you can get in Seward...if you count running into at least 3 college friends and 1 preschooler/student from a class you have teacher aided in "getting away from it all."] and inevitably return with new pens..
"This is what you get when you grew up with your mother taking you to office supply stores instead of toy stores, Mom!" I often tell my mother in mock-exasperation -- or real exasperation if it's one of the times where she's kidnapped me to go run errands with her for hours. [I have a small shopping tolerance, and it takes a while to stock up that small amount.] She just smiles mock-innocently at me and says sweetly, "But then who would go office supply shopping with me and share the same amount of love I have for it?" Siiiiiiigh. Touche, Mom, touche.
It really is the little things in life, my friends. Little things that increase office organization, functionality, and efficiency in particular.
What can I say? It's a sickness.
But it's this sickness which makes me see articles like this and get excited.
Don't judge me -- I'm a teacher. :)
[*Sigh.* I just tried to search for quotes about office supplies, and I got nutun. Travesty.

I also love office supplies... so fun! I just got a new notepad for my desk.... sigh. It' so cute! And I love buying new pens. I always use the coming of National Novel Writing Month to spoil myself with fancy new pens.
