total nerd

i'm a total nerd, it's obvious. i love to learn and take classes and always loved going shopping for new school supplies when i was younger (and older, i'm still in college). Well i needed a new magazine holder for work, i knew i wouldn't find one the same as what i have already, because they were on clearance about a year ago. so i ended up getting a plastic gray one, i really wanted a cool metal one, but it was $24 and i just couldn't justify that purchase. anyway...so i was wandering around with dylan who was begging for anything (which is kind of weird at staples) when i found the coolest thing...it's like bulk candy for office supplies!! you get a little container for $5.99 (or a larger one for $9.99) and fill it up with whatever you want, binder clips, paper clips, push pins. i got paper clips in the shape of guitars and musical notes. and i got cool binder clips too, and some push pins. dylan said he needed a binder clip (i have no idea what for, and he doesn't even know what they are) so i let him pick one out too. then i let him get a new binder, purple, and a notebook. both are for drawings and comics. i think dyl will be a bit of a nerd too, because he saw a stapler and was like "oooh! mom, you should totally get this!" and we saw a cool magnifying glass in the shape of a hippo, but really...i don't NEED one of those!!
