I used to buy umpteen boxes & keep them in the freezer to keep myself from eating them all at once...I've eaten so many frozen GS cookies in my life...  :P

Why don't Guides sell equivalent biscuits?

At my last office one of the guys sold GS cookies to all of the remote offices from santa monica, he'd send them via the internal mail/fed ex system (tut tut) but it was totally awesome! I'm sure his kid won the trip to camp or whatever every year :)

I must be the only one who loves the Trefoils Cookies  - they're my favourite!!!



I was a 4-Her for 13 years- (guess where I get my love of agriculture/farming?) and we used to sell 4-H cookies.  Talk about ghetto. No one wanted them!!

I've been trying to stay away from the "Airing Cupboard" because I've been trying to "look on the bright side" more, but screw it.  The bright side will be there even if I am constantly looking for it or not.

Anyway, my IA: I feel like CRAP.  Between nausea (which I think was brought on by green tea on an empty stomach---I have major tannin problems sometimes), dizziness, headaches, sinus problems, feeling worn down, I've just felt like I have the world's longest low grade flu.  And now I have this
Spoiler: show
spot under my tongue
(spoilered it because it might be TMI).  It hurts constantly, and interferes with me eating anything even slightly acidic.

RE Girl Scout cookies: I had a major craving for a Samoa (or whatever they are calling them now) the other day.  Then I realised what time of year it was.  I've probably not had GS cookies in over a decade.

Now I've got Monty Python's Life of Brian stuck in my head - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!  ;)

IA: My husband's nephew stealing two of my son's Christmas toys this morning. I'm so angry about it because these two toys are my son's favourite things to play with too. I don't even want the kid in my house any more. >:(

I think my first son is entirely made of Thin Mints!  I craved them like you read about when I was pregnant with him.  I kept them in my freezer, my desk drawer, my bedside table.  I don't think I could count all the boxes I ate when I was pregnant with him.  No wonder he is a complete sugar-a-holic now.

My IA: the bridge across the canal behind our house is being worked on for 14 weeks, and that's the quickest way into town.  I hate having to take the long way.

My IA: This day is not going fast enough.  I want my long weekend to start.
