I collect lots of things. Most quite purposely, like antique sewing machines, and yarn. Other things I collect quite by accident: odd socks (damn sock trolls!), itty bitty action hero toy weapons (immediately taken away from the boys and stashed in some nook or cranny. Can you say choke hazard?), store receipts (bleh! how do they multiply at the bottom of my purse?), and promotional Pens (at least these are useful!)

Seriously, at any given time, you can find up to 10 in the desk drawer and an additional 10 living in the abyss also known as the bottom of my purse, rubbing elbows with the old store receipts. But if you ever need a pen, and I'm around.. I can help!
