the fun in functional.

there is almost nothing i love more than office supplies. in fact, that was why i was obsessed with working in an office for the longest time, until i got an office job and realized that i would actually have to, you know, work there and not just stare lovingly at my stapler or buy more pens from the catalogue.

back to school shopping was my favorite:  trapper keepers, books, organizers, highlighters, etc.  it turns out that despite being decently unorganized in practice, i actually love being organized and having organization stuff.

i swoon over binder clips, people.

hooray for stuff!
