I heart school supplies. In "You've Got Mail", Tom Hanks says to Meg Ryan (via email, no less), "Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address". A man after my own heart...
I digress. CVS is starting to have great deals on school supplies, and I was the first one through the doors this morning to get my fill! Here's how I did (reminder: ECBs is a CVS store credit):

Welcome back!!!! I've missed you. Glad you are finding normal again. Somthing Kim and Eric seek. Actually, they got a big dose of normal this week because Kim was soooo sick - too sick to go ring shopping - that is sick.
I saved all the school supply coupons for tomorrow. I can't wait. But....I have to admit....Angelina is going back to school - to be a teacher so this will be the 48th fall I have been involved with 'back to school' and I can't say I am really up for it. But I'm always up for a good buy!! Have a blessed week. Love Llin
