I posted a while back about how excited I was to try InkJoy pens. Pens that were supposed to be amazing-- how often do you see commercials for pens on tv? So I was so excited to get my hands on them. They were underwhelming.
There was a gritty feeling (I have no idea what to call it- it just feels odd writing) The ink didn't become gooey or anything, it just didn't feel smooth.
I prefer pens that are very glidy my current favorite is a Papermate profile- they are so smooth when writing. They also have a cushy grip thing- all about comfort right? I have tried and tried to love gel ink pens but as of yet I have not found one that I love.
Obviously, this is not a real problem but I have some strange fascination with office supplies- specifically pens. I am always on the hunt for the perfect pen.
I think I found one. I was in the ER getting ready to be admitted (shocking!) and the admitting person had a fabulous pen!! She said it was a gel pen (cue angels singing), and it was so smooth!!! Here is my issue- all it said on it was PaperMate-- nothing else-- and I can't find them anywhere. I am going to go nuts looking for the Holy Grail of pens!
Do you have a pen or office supply you love?? Tell me about it.

My office supply obsession
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
I may have a slight problem with my somewhat minor office supply addiction.
It started when I was a kid and was focused more on school supplies. School supply shopping excited me thoroughly. Markers! Crayons! Paints! Pens! Yay! There were so many colors and varieties! I could hardly contain myself.
Now- I do not have the excuse of a new semester to shop for supplies- and my need for folders and Trapper Keepers (remember those? Do they still make them?) is severely limited, my obsession is more focused towards pens and post-its. You never know when something will need to be posted! This could be extended to stationary of all sorts, writing a note on loose-leaf paper is not nearly the same as writing it on pretty paper with a fancy pen.
Recently, I saw a commercial for "Ink Joy" pens, which is write up my alley. It is like Papermate's marketing department was sitting in my head thinking about what I look for in my favorite pens. I had to have one. CVS did not have them, I was distraught. I had to go to Walgreens anyway- and they had them! When I found them, I clapped and was so excited. What would I write first? Would they live up to the hype? I was giddy.
Stay tuned for how Ink Joy pens actually work.
