Houston, We Have A Problem

Well, I have a problem, at least.  I'm addicted to writing implements.  Ever since I was a kid, I've collected journals, notebooks, pens and the like.  Funny thing is, once I buy them, I don't want to use them.  I have so many books with just a few pages --if any-- written in them.  Yet I am constantly buying more.  They are my crack.

I've barely begun writing in my fake leather journal with the ribbon marker that I bought last July, when what did I spy at Wal-Mart last evening. 


And I just had to have it. I didn't care that I had stacks and stacks of notebook/journals. I didn't care how much it cost. I had to have it. So, it came home with me. I still haven't even taken the paper band off of it, but it's mine, mine I tell you! Mine!!  My own.  My Precious....

And of course, I had to buy some new pens worthy of a fake leather journal with a magnetic clasp.


Even though I have packs and packs of pens that I haven't even opened yet.  I think I have a problem...

But before I check myself into journal addiction rehab, let me show you what else I bought.


Wait, what? How did that picture get in there? Shhh, nobody was supposed to see those.

Ahem...

Isn't this just the cutest thing?  It's supposed to be an Easter basket.  


So, naturally, I had to find appropriate eggs to go in it.


And the ever traditional Easter classic, Peeps.


My mammaw always bought us Peeps at Easter, and though I don't really like them, I always ate them. Mammaw has been gone for long years now, but every Easter, I buy at least one package of Peeps, because they make me think of her.

Besides, they do cool things when you put them in the microwave...

Love the basket! And my mom has the same obsession, only with spiral notebooks (much cheaper).

Oh, I have stacks and stacks of spiral bound notebooks, too!

I used to do that, but then I started moving somewhat frequently. Lugging stuff across the country (and paying for the privilege) broke me of it pretty quickly. Although the yarn stash continues to grow... :)

Yeah, I had a lot less stuff when I was in the Navy and moved often. After I'd lived in the same house for 11 years, I was shocked at how much I'd accumulated.
