Ode to School Supplies...

Yes, school supplies have made their way into Walmart already. I'm like a kid in a candy store. I cannot resist buying a box of Crayola Crayons....and yes, I smell them every year. It reminds me of school, friends, and the nervous jitters of that first day of school. It also reminds me of my poor Mom writing my name on every crayon, marker, and pen. It somehow reminds me of the time a girl stole my ruler....and was trying to lick my name off of it....needless to say, I let her keep that one!

I can't resist the school supplies aisle. I smile when I walk down that precious aisle. And yes, every year about this time, I squelch the urge to by markers, more crayons, folders, and wide ruled notebook paper. Go ahead laugh, you probably already think I'm a nut. I guess that's the teacher side of me and my love for school supplies!

One of my favorite movie lines ever...(You've Got Mail)..."If I was with you, I would send you a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils"

I feel the same way.
