Back-to-School Shopping

I did my back-to-school shopping yesterday. I got 12 pens, 60 pencils, 3 Pink Pearls, 1 sharpener, 1 Spanish dictionary, 5 100-page notebooks, 1 stack of yellow Post-Its (I didn't even know they still made those), 1 pack of flash cards, and Icebreakers Sours, which, by the way, make good fake lip piercings.

REI Purchases

I got some great stuff at REI this morning, including: a mess kit, a fold-flat mug, light hiking boots, flip-flops, two lightweight heavy-duty T-shirts, and a large dark Toblerone bar. If there are better things in life, I've never heard of them. And the best part was my mom paid for all of it! My favorite things are... all of them! A very productive trip indeed.
