Secret Writer Obesssion - Ssshhh!!
Writers have a dirty little secret. It's not something they talk about unless safely amongst a group of others known to be writers. If you're good - very, very good, I might just tell you what it is. But remember, it's a very personal guilty pleasure.
Office Supplies.
Ssshhh!!!! Don't repeat that so loudly! Do you know who's lurking about?
Okay. I don't know for sure what it is about office supplies but there is something that just makes us giddy. Stick me in an Office Mega Max or Supply Depot Haven or even an ordinary stationary store (surely a couple still exists someplace), and my blood pressure skyrockets, my palms get all sweaty and I actually grin uncontrollably - I was once even observed giggling. It's worse than a first date when he's bought dinner, you know for sure the guy is all but begging for it and he's actually cute, too.
I don't know how many times I've gasped in delight when handling sleek, smooth pen. Or gotten all breathy when the latest highlighter pens or sharpie colors are revealed. Who can contain their joy at the new shapes, sizes and clever quotes on post-it notes?
Such rapture!
Don't even get me started on talking about notepads, label makers, binder clips, tape flags, and containers to hold all these treasures.

Yes, this is sadly true.
I am infatuated with office supply stores. Spend way too much money on pretty pens and sheets of paper.
Which makes it a mystery why every time I need to jot some message down- nary a pen nor scrap of paper is to be found.
