For lunch today, Keri and I ventured to Wal-Mart to pick up a few items needed for our trip to the river this weekend, as well as a scrumptious cake for Shannon's birthday! Although the month of June is just barely coming to an end, the shelves are slowly getting stocked with school supplies. That is one of my favorite times of the year, when I walk down the aisle full of paper, pencils, and pens! Oh my! I absolutely love it!
It's terrible though. Every year, I'm tempted into buying new, colorful items for my classes, finding better ways to organize my year. I rarely reuse old supplies too. I know that's awful, but in my eyes, each fall is a new beginning, a fresh start. Each additional binder or notebook is a clean slate for my classes. After the first week of the semester, I divide up the my newly acquired academic inventory across my living room floor, along with my syllabi, and I begin the organization process. There's just something about labeling those dividers that thrills me for a yet another Fall, especially with this school year being my last! ...Alas, it is not that time just yet. We must get through the 4th of July first!
Anyway, as we walked to the check out counter, I chuckled at myself and shared this entire thought process with Keri. You can only imagine what she was thinking....probably the same things you're thinking right now! haha
Oh well, off to the river! Have a great weekend everyone!!! :D
