Bought myself a fresh pack of "Bible Study Pens" today. My favorite kind. So happy!
I've always had a thing for office supplies. When I was a kid, my mom would let me wander the office supply aisle at Giant while she did the grocery shopping. In my memory, that aisle is huge. I was mesmerized by the post-it notes, paper clips, highlighters, and legal pads. At one time I had both lavender and aqua loose leaf paper. It was beautiful. I had one of those huge pens with, like, ten colors of ink where you would push down the little lever for the color you wanted. I collected as many church and business notepads and pens that I could get my little hands on. I dreamed of having a receipt book. I had a special fondness for eraser caps. Okay, I still do. And don't even get me started on these...

Seriously, my heart just sped up looking at those photos! I don't know how many times I drooled over these wonders in the aisle at Giant. I finally got an off brand "Trapper Keeper" with a rainbow and unicorn on the cover at Dart Drug. Had the legit teal green and purple Trapper Portfolio folders though. Aqua and red ones too. I honestly felt like my life was complete when I first brought that loaded notebook to school! Oh, the memories of yesterday. I wish I still had that thing.
But I do have my happy little pens.
And tomorrow they will be waiting for me, full of ink and color and promise, all wrapped up with a perfect gripper.
