I am not the Giving Tree.
It’s Monday & I haven’t had my coffee.
I don’t mind if you borrow my things, but please ask first.
I am not made of
pens & pencils,
tape & staplers,
or sticky notes;
You may borrow
my books &
my computer –
if you return them;
You can even pick my brain.
Just make sure there’s some left for me, OK?
Running In My Head 
I had to laugh reading this … because my wife tends to be pretty bad with pens, etc so that when I get a new pen from a conference, class, vendor, etc I just give them to her. As for me … before reading this I was writing notes in my planner with a Parker Vector fountain pen I paid ~$10 for back in 1993 … 🙂

From time to time I use fountain pens not only because the look is incomparable, but also because very few borrowers would be able to use one.

Agreed! I remember the Giving Tree book. I was not inclined to become one.

The coffee, absolutely!
After it helps jolt you to life, I may feel inclined to lend you a pen, but only a blue one. The black ones are mine.
The books, though, are a different story. I sometimes hesitate to let Krystal borrow my books, and she’s my wife.

You can use the green one, but you may have to tell me which one it is.
