Are you a pen fanatic like I am? Even with my iPhone, computer, iPad (okay, my daughter's iPad... I technically don't have one), and other gadgets, there's still something I LOVE (and prefer) about writing with an inkpen and notepad. I didn't set out to give a review on pens, however, but tonight when I signed my credit card bill at the Lake Woodlands Dr. Chili's, I used the server's pink Paper Mate InkJoy pen, and it was love at first write.This retractable ballpoint pen is smooth-writing, bold, and quick-drying so it doesn't easily smear like most thick-writing pens. The color (pink in this case) was vibrant and beautiful. I wanted to sign my name on the slip twice, just because it felt so great and effortless to write with the pen. As far as looks go, it's really nothing to write home about - a pen is a pen is a pen (unless it's a Cross!), but it's definitely fun to write with, and with a soft grip pad, it's comfortable enough. These cute bold-colored pens will come in handy when you're putting a note in your kid's lunch box; as a homeschool mom, I'll use them when checking schoolwork!
Be warned - I did check out the Amazon.com reviews, and while most of them were great, there were some reviewers who experienced leakage when using the pens. I'm happy to report that I didn't! (Oh, I should mention that I spent so much time admiring the pen that my server was nice enough to let me keep it!) You can find an assorted pack of 8 colors on Amazon.com for less than $3.00.
