Why is does my pen/paper blog have such an awesome title?

Like a lot of pen and paper addicts, I have far too many items. My addiction has gotten to the point several times where the stored pens and paper products have outgrown their containers. When this happens I take everything to work and I give stuff away. Obviously there are a few favorite items that I never part with, but I have contributed many items to the communal office reserves.

Why do I give up my supplies to others instead of buying more containers? Because of the school supply dance. Back when my husband (mistakenly) thought humiliation could deter me from purchasing supplies, he instituted the school supply dance rule. If I wanted to buy supplies when he was with me he made me do a truly embarrassing dance and sing the words "school supplies" repeatedly. Luckily, if I keep my addiction limited to a few select containers, I don't have to do the dance in public when I want to pick up a pack of highlighters with four brand new colors or the latest incarnation of the mead 5 star. I do have to do the dance when making a jetpens.com order from home, so I order from work most of the time.

Like any addict, embarrassment alone is not enough to deter me from acquiring new supplies. So I embrace the school supply dance and am happy to share it. I would do anything to get to buy more pens and paper!

Welcome to School Supply Dance!

I am excited to start doing a pen and paper blog as I am an addict! I have a lot to learn about the whole blogging thing but as long as I can have my future readers put up with me, I have tons of great pens from www.jetpens.com to review. I also have a serious paper habit, whether journals, mead 5 star or memo pads, so I feel like I have a lot to say on the paper front as well. It might take me some time to find my voice, but I am ready to start. My first review will be coming soon!
