Wednesday, November 09, 2005Office Supplies I'm Deeanne Gist and I love office supplies.After our discussion yesterday, I was delighted to find I had a sister out there (not to mention any names ... Val ...) that is fascinated with office supplies. ME, TOO!! Every aisle is a treat and the office furniture section is way too tempting for my own good. One of our "lurkers" emailed me yesterday with a picture of her desk (which was a bit messy, but nothing like mine) and told me her secret to a clean desk was in using a small desk. Hmmm. Do I smell a trip to the office supply store?? I don't know if I could say for sure what my favorite aisle is. That's like asking what my favorite ice cream flavor is. They're all good! But I will confess to being a post-it note fanatic. I have them in all shapes, all sizes and, subsequently, stuck to every possible surface in my office. Last spring I discovered the "Pop Up Note Dispenser." Have you seen it? You put your post it note pad in it and the end of the note sticks up (kinda like a kleenex). You pull it out of your dispenser and *wal-lah* another one pops up. Ohmygosh. It's the next best thing to pre-cut scotch tape that you strap to your wrist. (That, too, is one of my wicked pleasures.) So, what about you? Your favorite aisle? Favorite item? And here's the big indicator ... do you list specific office supplies on your Christmas list?

So I read this and asked my 15 year old if he'd thought of putting office supplies on his Christmas list. He looked at me like I'd finally completely lost it :o) I'm partial to sticky paper with funny sayings on it and pens with purple ink myself. Or mini mini sticky paper, to use for marking specific places in books. In jazzy colors, of course! Not very exciting stuff to professional office supply lovers like yourself, but they ring my bell! And office supplies can make great stocking stuffers!

Ooooh. All that sounds fun to me, Barb. Especially the purple ink. I have a big ol' box of those and some with green ink, too.
I have a home movie of my (then) 3 year old finding a roll of scotch tape in his stocking. Ohmygosh. You'd have thought he won the lottery!

Scotch tape and a 3 year old?! Makes me think of The Parent Trap, with Haley Mills and the string and honey.... :o0

I just saw this post today and I'm thrilled that I'm not alone in my love of office supplies.
I love the little tiny sticky notes too, Barb. And pens in different colors (but only pens that right smooth). And I love graph paper. Love graph paper, love it. Love any kind of new notebook really, but especially the ones filled with graph paper
I kind of want to drive out to the office supply store now and lose myself in the aisles for an hour or so. :-)
And yes, I definitely put office supply items on my wish lists. My family knows though that if they buy me a couple of pads of graph papers and a pack of Pilot Precises, then I will be thrilled with them.

I think you two should offer yourselves to Office Depot as their national holiday sales girls! You could wear the cute little Santa outfits and walk the aisles gushing for the camera about all the products you luv! #<:oD

Okay. Clearly I'm missing out on some hidden treat. What it is about graph paper that is so ... well, wonderful?
Colored ink pens, I get. Graph paper? I dunno. Tell me what I'm missing.

Graph paper has SO many possibilities! Obviously you need to spend more time with it! Sort of like playing with an Etch-a-Sketch, but waaaay easier. :o)
