I can't remember what they were (though I think one was a Star Trek one - yes even a nerd back then), but I can remember how they smelled. <BR/><BR/>Last Christmas, I was shopping for gifts when I stumbled across a nostalgia store. They had metal Elvis lunchboxes. I couldn't resist - I had to open one. It smelled just like metal and peanut butter, just like I remembered.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-1153775498376568352006-07-24T16:11:00.000-05:002006-07-24T16:11:00.000-05:00I know exactly how you feel.I still remember the a...I know exactly how you feel.<BR/><BR/>I still remember the anticipation of buying a new Trapper Keeper (do they still make those?) and color coding my classess- green for science, orange for composition/language arts, and of course BLOOD RED for MATH. <BR/><BR/>My favorite before school purchase was always the notebooks. Oh, the notebooks. Plain ol' MEAD college ruled notebooks (even in grade school I hated the big spaced notebook paper; I don't have cute loopy girl handwriting (never did), I have teeny scrawly unreadable and often trailing off the line handwriting). I'd mark the subject in the cover by using my eraser to 'write' in white on the cover- MATH, SCIENCE, LANGUAGE ARTS. <BR/><BR/>Confession: I always ended up buying a compass and a protractor too, but only used them once, in the fourth grade. For about a week each. I never understood why they were on the list every year. <BR/><BR/>Confession II: I owned a Lassie lunch box. And I loved it. Because my dog looked like Lassie.Alice in Wonderbreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167533114228447455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-1153771349859124252006-07-24T15:02:00.000-05:002006-07-24T15:02:00.000-05:00I know what you mean about the look of new paper a...I know what you mean about the look of new paper and supplies! I'm always excited when my kids' homeschool books come in, but by mid-year, we're sick to death of them, lol.BlondeBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914759722134808069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-1153710038056685372006-07-23T22:00:00.000-05:002006-07-23T22:00:00.000-05:00I love office supply stores too!
