First purchase.

I made my first Lenten purchase yesterday.  Things I needed for school: index cards, binder clips, and paperclips.  I came here to make a confession.  It wasn't a rule, but I kind of felt like I needed to buy the most basic supplies.  I didn't.  I got shiny colored binder clips.  They made me happy, as my entire life seems to be color-coded by class and topic. 

So there you have it, friends.  I also bought skittles and lollipops (excellent tongue depressors!) for treatment and have now eaten some myself.  Oops. 

Now I have to get to work turning all these blank notecards into study aids for my 5 upcoming midterms. Eek.
