When I graduated from high school (almost 20 years ago...I know, I don't look that old. Do I? Do I? Never mind.) my mom, among other things, gave me office supplies. I didn't realize I'd need them (because when I lived at home I always found that kind of stuff in my mom's desk) but they were a brilliant gift. I've used the (left handed) scissors, tape dispenser, and stapler all these years. She also bought me a box of staples.
5000 of them.
And I use staples. Every day I staple history pages together. Or literature. Or phonics.
This past weekend, I ran out of staples.
Yesterday I went to Target and bought a new box of staples. 5000 more for the next 20 years. It cost $1.29. I will never pretend to be a financial adviser but if you want to make a sound investment, I'd put my money on staples.
What a deal!

I am excited because I have been so very busy and I haven't been on your blog for a long time and I'm catching up now. What a happy thing to do!
What kind of stapler do you have? I can't find one that lasts well. So I never staple anything.
I still have my stapler from Cor too. The tape dispenser has gone the way of the world. I guess Marianne didn't get included in those gifts.
