Girl Scout Cookie Time...and I'm happy

from JoeUser Forums
How pathetic is this?

I am at work, sitting at my desk on my laptop...typing furiously and with a stern look on my face. Suddenly, one of my students comes in (this is after school) and is holding an order form. I immediately know what it is. A Girl Scout Cookie order form. I smile before a word even comes out of her mouth. She says, "Ms._________, I am selling Girl Scout cookies. Would you...."
I interrupt her and say, "Of course I will buy some...you just made my day." She looks at me like I'm a kook and laughs.

So, here is some of what I'm getting in a few weeks: Namely, Samoas, Tagalogs, and Cafe cookies (a new low fat variety...to make me feel less guilty about the other two).

And THIS makes me happy. How pathetic. I'm such a pig. :P

Oh, don't worry...I'll be (hesitantly) sharing these, so I should be okay...lol

You rock so hard.

Wish my teachers in school were as awesome as you are woman.

And I haven't heard of the new low fat variety...doesn't that just mean more sugar? hahahahaha.  Who cares!  Bring them on!

Make sure you write a blog about how they taste.  Just in case I don't get any this year.

LOL...yeah, the low fat ones probably do mean more sugar.

I'll definitely post a cookie tasting blog in the near future.

And btw, I think one of the reasons for my happiness was because I didn't get to order any last year...lol.

Yeah? We are usually bombarded with offers to buy.

I think there is something addicting put into the mint chocolate ones...because no matter how long I'm on the wagon, a little girl offering temptation always sends me into a binge. buwhahahahhaha.

Samoas are the greatest cookies in the whole wide world. I can't get enough of them.

See what I mean?

Forget area 51 or whatever # it is...girl scouts are all about conspiracy theory.

They come around and the wallet just flies open . . . I think it's drugs in the cookies!

Those tagalongs are dang good, too . . .

We bought some new ones this year, I don't remember what they're called, but I'm sure excited for them to come already.

Can you imagine the voter turn out if girl scout cookies were "a box a vote?" heh

NEW YORK TIMES...

"Record Voter Turnout!"

Yep, I think so, too. I didn't order any this year, but I'm sure someone will have some I can try.

I remember I got a small piece of the fudge Tova sent, so I'm hoping for at least ONE peanut butter patty.

I already knew it was Girl Scout cookie time. How? While I was sitting and draining my pint yesterday, one of the workers came in with the order form and was soliciting fellow workers (not us vampees).

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pictures on the order form.

Last year I didn't get solicited, but I have a feeling this year I may have a few more people asking me.

I love Girl Scout cookies too! Someone has a child who does it in our office so I guess I'll be seeing him soon!

I'm a hog. I don't share. They're so damned good, they should be illegal. Why do they only sell these once a year? I run down any little girl scout I see and tell her I'll purchase stock. lol

I bought about $30 worth from one of my first graders. I'm glad she's involved and glad I get to indulge my sweet tooth and gain 15 pounds doing it.

I don't even want to know how much weight I'm going to gain downing these. I guess I'm gonna have to add an extra day to my exercise routine (don't know if even that will help)...lol

Heck, I might have resorted to hunting them down myself if they hadn't come knocking at my door.

Cute, Rose! I'm looking forward to your cookie review.

I bought Samoas (OMG, best cookies EVER) and the Chocolate Mint ones this year. They're long gone already, haha. One of my boys' Cub Scout den leaders bought $84 worth of GS cookies from ONE GIRL!!! LOL.

My boys love the cookies, but they get jealous because Cub Scouts sell popcorn, and nobody wants to buy popcorn no matter how cute the boy selling it is!! Hehe.

You know...I was thinking that. Maybe the Boy Scouts need to change what they sell..they need something Realllyyyyy attention getting. Any ideas? Not fair that the Girls get all the attention, huh...
