You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Back in the day I used to sell HUNDREDS of boxes each year.

When K-Bug was a brownie, I'd get her in her uniform, have her go around my office, and ta-da, she sold HUNDREDS. Then I had the pleasure (hah) of bringing in cases and cases to actually distribute them to my coworkers. So far none of the other coworker sprog have filled the void when K-Bug left the GS.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had a goal - 150 boxes so I could get the t-shirt. If I had kept the damn things, I could probably sell them for a mint on eBay.

(heh heh - mint. heh heh heh)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My Mother felt it was wrong for her to sell them at work.

t eye roll

That was even worse than the Barbie thing.

They tried to start a girl's scout troop in my school. It never came together. I think they managed two meetings before giving up.

I'm getting the pig!

How you doing today, Aimee?

At this point, I'd consider driving to the store to see if any GS are around to buy cookies from. Thank god it's too cold out for GS to survive outside. I really don't need the guilt.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My dad would sell the cookies at work. A bunch of other people at his office had kids in Girl Scouts, so they usually each bought one box from each of the other fathers selling cookies for their daughters.

Nobody in my department now has girls the right age to be in Girl Scouts. Actually, now that I think about it, there is one person with a 10-year-old girl, but I don't know whether she's in scouts or not.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I ordered some Girl Scout cookies. I need to track down that Girl Scout.

I need to track down a Girl Scout to sell me some cookies.

I'm ok. I started my new Sat job and it was good. Turns out, they buy everyone lunch on Saturdays. That rocks.

I'm still upset about the credit stuff. B&E think we should keep looking, but I am hesitant. I just .... I don't like rejection as it is. This seems like asking for it. If I wanted rejection based on superficial shit, I would have remained an actress.

I should have bought the Girl Scout Cookie ice cream, but I was trying to be good. I got a couple of pounds closer to my goal of losing weight so I can walk with less pain, while I was sick this week.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sure. I go off and make supper, and wash dishes, and feed the cats, and scrub the kitchen, and here I am way up in the 30's.

Sigh. Foot elevated.
