Life is way to short..............

I have come to the conclusion that life is just too darn short to write with an ugly pen!

Glad I bought all my pens before this financial crunch. I can be perfectly happy with a tablet and a good pen.....I can write and write and write!

In the long run, much cheaper than all the art supplies and dolls I was collecting and truly more fulfilling to write a friend to say "I am thinking of YOU today". After all, everyone needs a warm fuzzy hug.......especially nowadays.

I love pens so much and I have many and they all do something different for me. I have no favorite one in particular (I suppose) but I have learned one thing throughout my buying spree. You can get a really good, smoothe writing pen without spending an absolute fortune. I never would have believed it but it is true. I gravitate to my Pelikan Future pen more often than not. I only paid $25 for it and it is as smoothe as a baby's butt. It turned me 'on' to fountain pens. I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice writing experience. Mine has a Medium nib. I also like the Lamy pen for $30 and it has a fine nib that I 'smoothed out' and it is great as well.

For the more spendy ones, I find I love all of the Pelikan Pens and I get them from
printhardcopy on ebay and his name is Bill and he is in Singapore and have had many wonderful dealings with this gentleman. He frets until that pen is in your hand. Excellent man to buy from. I have had nothing buy wonderful dealings and emails from him. He is trying so hard to get his business going and he deserves a break.

Anyway, I am so hooked that I have all my pens inked and ready to write at a moments notice. I write with each one daily to keep the ink primed.....even if it is just the alphabet. I will eventually drain and clean them all and only use one or two at a time but I am drunk with power having all these fine instruments to play with. Eventually, I will learn to repair them and have a business of my own. :o)

Well, just writing about my beloved pens has cheered me up today. Last night was such a bummer..................Well, I am off to cheer up someone in my address book.

ELECTION DAY

I remember in days of old.......we would know who our new president was by midnight. Now it may take weeks if it is as close as the last election.

I went to cast my ballot and there were no long lines so I felt very lucky. I wouldn't have missed this election for nothing in the world.

There was only one hero worthy of the office and he got my vote. I was pleased to give it to him, and my trust as well.
