Well, I was asleep, but then one of the cats decided to dance on my head to wake me up. So I’m now wide awake and decided to blog a bit till I got sleepy again. I figure this late hour is the perfect time for me to open up about one of my family’s secrets that’s been going on for decades.

Well, here it goes: For several generations, the women in my family have been known to go bonkers over office supplies. That’s right, we go ga-ga over gummy labels, insane over ink cartridges and get punchy over pen sets. I’m embarrassed to admit that my sister and I have had several heated debates over 88 bright versus 92 bright paper. Sad to say that it’s affected the younger generations as well. When it comes to mechanical pencils, my daughter can hold her own on the subject and is liable to talk your ears off about the characteristics of various leads. You see, other families exchange items like baked goods, or fruit baskets. But in my family, we give each other things like calendars, file folders and tape dispensers. Maybe we’re crazy, but the women in my family love label makers more than bottles of the latest and trendiest perfumes. Looks like an office supply site is a great source of presents to please everyone in my family.
