New backpack, that is. It is so sweet. It's a laptop bag, but it'll comfortably hold books. Which is mostly what it'll be carrying except for those rare times when I have presentations. Like yesterday, when I was hauling my laptop in one bag and my books in another.
Also, I bought a new binder which hopefully will actually bind. And paper. Ooooh.
What is it about new school supplies that get a person all giddy? I feel like I should put brand new pennies in my loafers.
Oh, I so love love love school supplies. I could hug them all day long :)
ReplyDeleteDo you get the levenger catalog? It is a dangerous thing.
I get it. I used to shop from it all the time.
ReplyDeleteNow, being as I'm no longer making a salary, I close my eyes and...gulp...throw it away.
I love new school or project supplies too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh I buy notebooks I don't need, legal pads, little pads, stickers, pencils, and never use them...yep, I get you on the school supplies thing.
ReplyDeleteAnything remotely related to stationery and art supplies and project supplies, photo doo-dads, you name it! I must keep my hands in my pockets more.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I can smell the new pencils and feel the new pencil box, ruler, notebook and eraser in my hands. Brings me back to the simpler times of grade school.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but stationery stores are a happy place for me too.
ReplyDeletePolitica got me personalized stationery for my birthday last year. I'm so happy with it.
ReplyDeleteSchool supplies rock. When I was in grades 1-3, I got a leather briefcase each year for school, and I still love the smell of new leather b/c it takes me back to the excitement of the start of the school year, that endless possibility for all kinds of cool stuff to happen. By grade 4, we switched to a school-produced vinyl bag, which made more sense from a kid-friendly angle but I miss the leather. (As a parent, I can't imagine my child needing a big leather briefcase sort of thing, but that's what we all had in 1968.)
I also love school supply shopping! September is always a little glum for me when I realize that another year goes by and I'm not in school.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are enjoying this!
You wear loafers? That makes ME giddy! :)
ReplyDeleteI love office supplies! You should have seen me cringing when I helped clean out an office complex and they threw away thousands of binders!! It made me nearly insane. :-s
