supplied

in case you haven't figured it out by now, i kind of have a geeky side(or 10).

i'm a food geek,i'm a blog geek,i'm an education geek(more about teaching it than getting my own),i'm a cheesy 90's boy band geek(go ahead,ask me anything),but there's one geeky side i have i'm pretty sure no one really knows about.

i,andi, am an office supply geek.

i could literally spend hours in an office max,office depot,even target or borders book store just looking at all their notebooks and pens and pencils and organizers with facination. every year before college,even if i was still well stocked up from the year before, i HAD to get brand new school supplies. that was always my favorite part of elementary through high school as well, when my mom would bring home bags full of new supplies for me to take to school. i'm pretty sure that's one big reason why i've always wanted to be a teacher-teachers always need and always use office supplies. i'm so supply geeky that i have my own desk at home i keep them in as well as boxes in storage...now that i'm thinking about it,maybe i have a problem..ha...

my point being,any chance i have to go supply shopping for myself i jump on it. since i'm starting online classes for my eCDA in about a week and a half (eek!)and realized i have so many papers i'm going to be printing,as well as dates i need to keep track of,i'm going to need things to keep myself organized! so,yesterday after work i decided to put the gift cards i got for barnes and noble for Christmas to good use and buy myself some school supplies. since i didn't really want to spend THAT much money,i kind of forced myself to choose things out of their selection and actually found a pretty cute expandable file and planner!

next trip was to office depot because i wanted a notebook (for notes,duh) and a "school" pen(aka a pen i use just for school and nothing else). believe it or not, office depot did NOT have what i was looking for!i actually ended up at target and found a nice notebook and a pink pen that i got cause it was pretty. total cost of supplies: $10.03. shopping success.
