Although I don't need to know what your boyfriend does with a hose... :-o

ANYHOW, now they can join the 400 lined white cards and 100 blank cards I have stashed in a box... hmmmm... box is full... no more room for cards...

I'm gonna need a bigger box.

always stock up for rainy days when you NEED index cards in a variety of colors and you don't feel like running to the store ;P

Honestly i have WAY too many index cards... picked up 4x6 on sale... 3 packs. and then my BF found an old pack from his school days - Guess who he gave THOSE to ? hehe.

I'd do it. :)

You're not alone

While dropping off some film at the drug store today, I "happened" to wander into the paper and planner aisle. All the school supplies are out in force (In July? Really?) so shelf space had to be found and *glee* colored index cards were marked down 75%.

Was it wrong to snatch up ALL the remaining packages of cards? I mean, seven packages of 70 cards is... umm... (counts on fingers) a lot more cards than any normal person needs, right? I mean, who in their RIGHT MIND would just up and buy nearly 500 colorful, happy little index cards?

Oh no. You're not alone.

You are definitely not alone.

I'm trying to reduce volume down to the little super thin moleskins and I still look!

Hi.

I was at the warehouse club getting groceries the other day and spotted the new foldover 3-ring binders. I had to stop and look. There were also some planner iterations on the same rack, so I had to look at those too.

In the end I didn't buy anything, but I have to stop and look.

Trapper Keepers

caligatia — Wed, 9 Jul 2008 22:02:28 -0400

I loved office/school supplies as a kid. I remember begging for a Trapper Keeper, too! They came out when I was in fourth grade, and my mother thought they were hideously expensive. (Which, for a fourth grader's school notebook, they were.) If I remember correctly, I didn't talk Mom into one until fifth grade -- when I went to middle school. I felt so very grown-up... Funny memory. Thank you for reminding me!

Hi I'm Michael and I'm obsessed with planners

Since we are having true confession time...

It all started when I reached planning nirvana in my freshman year of high school. I devised my own calendar/task tracking system with a blue plastic padfolio and a graph paper pad. (One page per week, one line per class, a 5 star four pocket folder for each class...good times!) By the end of the year, I had black electrical tape holding the padfolio together, but I never missed a beat.

Ok...who am I kidding, it all started in the 4th grade when I got my first Trapper Keeper. I bugged my mom and dad for 2 weeks before they gave into my constant rationalization for why "I needed a Trapper Keeper". By the end of the year I had clear packaging tape holding it together, but I never missed a beat.

Wow! I feel great now that I've been able to trace my obsession back to my childhood! Sigmund would be so proud. I do really need to explore my somewhat related obsession with taping things. That will go on my someday/maybe list...

I have one other confession. Today at work, I caught myself discussing a coworkers 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper that he had hand written two months worth of dates on as his system. I couldn't help but remember (what appears to be) my "Rosebud". I told him about this website and even printed a 2 page per year calendar for him. I'm such an enabler!

That's the key

You're not going to share every interest, so the best thing possible is to indulge each other without being critical. Sometimes though, you can find common ground. For instance, my wife is a seamstress and I just happened to have this pile of ripstop nylon for rocket parachutes... :)

That's sad...

I'm sadly not surprised to see that website. It's called "job justification" for attorneys.

As you said, of course I was kidding. My wife and I both have "hobbies" that cost more money than we should be spending; her's is a lot more of the "less expensive" stuff (like nails, and pedicures, and massages (she had back surgery in January, and it's not medically necessary but definitely is therapeutic); all things that guys generally have difficulty understanding the cost/benefit ratio of. My tastes are for fewer, but more expensive stuff...Fly fishing, Computers, and Planners, all things that she doesn't "get" either. So, we've learned over the past few years, the fine art of the "cease fire". Most of the time, anyway. :-)

I know YOU were joking about "divorce insurance" but apparently these guys aren't. www.safeguardguaranty.com Just thought you'd like to know. ;)

So I love my Circa planner. Love it to death. When I get the urge to rearrange it, I can do so very easily thanks to my collection of Circa covers, discs, and DIYP pages. In other words, I need absolutely nothing planner-related.

So why is it, when I have what really is the perfect setup for me, I browse the planner section of every store I go to that has them? Even the pharmacy carries some of those Franklin OneNote planners, and I flip through them every time I go there even though I've seen them a million times. I just like holding and touching planners. They're inspirational. They're oddly comforting. And they're just plain cool.

So am I the only one who does this? Or am I a complete freak?
