One thing that I always have a problem with is hanging on to pens. Either I put them down or loan them to someone, and then I can never tell which ones are mine..... I have been known to go through 4 pens in one shift!!!!
So as a graduation present to myself I have ordered myself personalized pens from a wholesaler that have my name, RN on them. This way I will always know which pens are mine and can go around and collect them at the end of the day, and it will be neat to see my name and new title on all of my pens. They actually don't have to be that expensive either. I got 150 ballpoint click pens in my choice of color with my choice of writing color for $85 + shipping and handling. Granted I couldn't really afford it, but I felt like doing something fun just for me to commemorate my accomplishment.
So, what did all of you do for yourself on graduation?
I bought my self(and hubby) a cruise to caribbean :balloons: Its our first major vacation in 15 yrs, and with he and I both taking new jobs, it will probably be the last vacation for a while .
I bought some new leather furniture for my living room and my husband bought me an enhancer for my princess cut diamond:) In return I told him to go buy some tools he's been drooling over.

I'm GOING to buy a new digital SLR camera. As soon as I can get to the camera store. Trying to decide between the Nikon D70 and a Canon (because I've already got some trick Canon lenses). Hubby is Not Pleased as he thinks our current digicam works just fine (and it does), but then I reminded him about the thousands of dollars worth of muscle car he's rebuilding in the garage, so he has acquiesced. Besides, he didn't really have a choice.
New pens?? I'm getting a breast reduction and a tummy tuck. Before I end up hunched over forever.
