    Okay, last Friday I ordered out achool stuff for next year. I figured the TT would be here sometime this week, but I wasn't expecting the stuff from RR until next week, at the earliest. Yesterday, I went out to check the mail & found 2 boxes on the deck. One of them was from TT & the other was from RR. So, we now have everything we need for school for next year except the basics like paper & pens. Ususally, my RR orders take over a week to get here, and there's almost always something on backorder. A few times, something on backorder didn't come in, and I got a refund check instead. I've never had my order from them show up all together, or this quickly.
    I ordered from Home Science Tools, as well, and I'm still waiting on that. That's for this year, though. DD is studying anatomy right now, and I thought it would be cool for her to do some dissection. So, I ordered a dissection kit with an eyeball, a heart, a brain, & a kidney. That should be here tomorrow.
    Everything for next year is here. So, now I get to start planning the upcoming year. I've looked over the materials & so far, I like it all.
    I'm just so happy that it's here. I don't normally like shopping. I've just never been one of those girls. However, shopping for books, school materials & supplies, or stuff for my kitchen is a whole other story. I enjoy searching through the phone book sized catalog from RR, looking at different sites, finding the best deal. Every year, I look forward to placing the orders for school stuff. Then, when it gets here, I spend days looking over it, planning for the year, and getting it all entered into inventory. I'll rewrite my plan time & time again, trying to get it just perfect.
    Yes, I know I'm strange. I'm just happy because school stuff is here & the computer stuff we ordered is on the way. I just wanted to share my happiness with everyone.
    I hope you're all having a good day, too.

    It's like an addiction - we have a teaching Materials store kinda close to the house, and I feel the pull everytime I pass it! :)

    I love "box day" (or days). Enjoy the smell of the new books....lol. I usually have all our stuff purchased by May or so but I'm trying to hold off since I'm actually going to the state convention this year and they have a HUGE used sale and entry is based on your registration #....I'm #26 because I must have been onlined when they announced registration was OPEN.....so praying I get some awesome deals :)
