Friday Favorite:

There are some things in my life that I couldn't do without.  They make my life easier, more fun, less stressed, and more productive.  One of those things is the simple...  STAPLE REMOVER!

Now, I didn't realize the impact a good staple remover had on my life until I lost one of mine and the other broke.  You might be saying, "Well, just go buy another one!".  Good point, but if you are a teacher like me, you know that sometimes it isn't that easy.  I am busy, busy, busy and when I do get to a store that would carry such a product, buying one slips my mind.

The dreaded Snake Fang staple remover.

So, I went a whole year and a half using a broken staple remover.  I mean the kind that looks like a little letter opener...  not the snake fang looking one....  I REALLY dislike using those.  It wasn't until right before Christmas, when I was taking down A LOT of artwork from the wall, that I decided that enough was enough!!

Luckily, one of my families got me a gift card to Office Depot for Christmas.  I was so excited... Finally I would get my staple remover...

I added wash tape to give them a little pizzaz.  

And WOW!  What a staple remover it is!  Did you know that they now come with comfort grips and are ergonomically designed for easy staple removing?  Well, I didn't!

It is a masterpiece...  a true testament to fine design...  all for under 4 bucks!

The only thing that would make it better is if it had GPS... cuz these little suckers are bound to walk off.

Do you have a favorite thing?  Something that makes your life easier?  If so, feel free to share in the comment section. I look forward to hearing from you!
