Between the kids and the dog, I’m having pens disappear left and right. Alyssa and Ryan both have plenty of crayons, but for some reason they keep wanting to use my plain black ink pens. Grrrrrrrrr. I have those really nifty pens too – the BIC ones that come in shades of sheer pink, blue, teal and purple with silver sparkle coatings. Thank goodness that haven’t nabbed my ultimate favorite pen — that would be my Dr. Grip. That pen is way too expensive to use up all the ink, or let the dog chew up!





I know the feeling. Pens grow legs in my house.
