I love gel pens! I never buy expensive pens because there are so many inexpensive gel pens that work fine for what I do. Mostly I use them for doodling, list making, journaling.
We were in Hobby Lobby the other day and I saw these.
They were $14.98 and were 40% off so that made them about $9. Addie loves gel markers too so I grabbed a set for her. I was showing them to Vince while we were still in the store. He said “You want a set for yourself, don’t you?” I said “Of course I do but I don’t need them.” He said “For $9 . . get them and enjoy them” so I did.
I have a box with a lid that closes tightly to keep my favorite little dog out of them. He loves pens and pencils too but I’m afraid if he gets a pen, I’m going to end up with ink all over the floor and furniture so I try to be careful with those things.
I always say it’s was less money in the long run for me to order DMC floss online and pay more than it is for me to go to Hobby Lobby for my floss! There are always things that come home with me that I wouldn’t have bought or needed (or wanted) had I not gone in there and seen them. I told Vince this trip . . all I want is floss and I’ll be quick but he wandered off in the store and I had to search for him and other things popped into my cart . . all while I was searching for Vince.

At least Vince will go in Hobbs Lobby with you. My husband waits in the car and that’s when I get into trouble. With him with me, I tend to get just what I need and don’t shop the store.

I wish my husband would wait in the car when we visit Hobby Lobby. Instead, he shadows my every movement! I can never shop and enjoy myself, with him wanting to go, go, go!

Vince is the ultimate shopper. He ends up finding as many things he “needs” as I do. Here, it’s way too hot to be sitting in the car. We mostly try to make as many stops as we can when we go to town so he’s almost always with me when we’re shopping.

Usually I’m having to say to Vince . . do you REALLY need that? I do have to be careful with what I buy because he could say the same thing to me.

That’s one thing I never have to worry about. My husband will NEVER go shopping with me. He hates it with a passion. Guess I have no one to blame but myself when I buy things I don’t need….

I’m 100% to blame for everything I buy but it’s nice to “blame” someone else. 🙂
