Ok, somebody (my husband) better keep me out of Walmart right about now. Hee hee. I've been entranced by the aisles and aisles of back to school supplies. I know it's probably a bit nerdy, but it's true. Furthermore, don't send me to Staples...I could spend hours in that place. Seriously. I always thought I was completely in my element as an office manager (before being a SAHM)...fun times...I could buy all the office supplies I wanted. *Sigh*
In our house, we still have about another year before I really need to start stocking up on supplies, so I can't really justify going "hog wild" on crayons and pencils and notebook paper and binders and pencil cases and sharpeners...oh my. Just in case you're wondering, we are pursuing the home schooling route, and our three year old son is technically already "kindergarten ready" (if he would just get the hang of using the potty! ;-)) But I can hit up the clearance items in a few weeks! Some of that stuff is practically free. I love it.
It reminds me of that line from the movie "You've Got Mail"..."Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." (Aww...)
I wish I were in New York (or some other place that's starting the transition of seasons) right now! It's still 107 degrees where I am! Sheesh, there should be laws. Anyway, I look forward to the days when the weather turns cooler and the school supplies are in great abundance (at rock bottom prices). Anybody else with me???
Oh, you would have loved the weather in Holyoke today. A nice 75, then down to perfect cardigan sweater temperature at night.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds divine. 107 here again...blah. We get some pretty cool storms, but then the next morning, it's over 100 again. (Yes, I said "morning"). I dream of one day living somewhere that's not the desert...but if I'm honest with myself, I'd probably chicken out if I experienced a real winter. Lol. Thanks for stopping by!
