It is time.

Oh, yes.

It is the time of year that we hear 3 little words that strike fear into the hearts of the most disciplined health nuts.

Prepare yourselves.

It is time.

Girl. Scout. Cookies.

Be strong.

We have started presales.

I shall check in here with my commitments and updates.

Good luck, my friends.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Not Samoas! They are my favorite cookie of all time. I simply cannot buy them or I can and will eat the entire box.

Stay strong, Midwife!

They renamed them to Caramel Delights... pretend they don't exist.

We got "the call" yesterday. There is actually an option where instead of buying cookies for yourself, you purchase a bundle to be delivered to various shelters.

...I might have to get one box of thin mints. One.

Just one.

One.

Yeah.

Edit: I think super cute girl scouts should be illegal. Our brownie (daughter of a dear friend) is possibly the cutest thing you've ever seen and she has these big brown eyes that pierce your soul so resistance is futile.

I know it is. Despite having a no soliciting sign on my door, one of the dear darlings rang my bell yesterday. I told her I wasn't able to eat them and she quickly asked me to "donate" a box.

Thank you for that luck!

*drooling over Samoas!* Those are my favorites. Thin mints do not come far behind. Dairy Queen also has a thin mint blizzard which is pretty good. Tagalogs are pretty great, too. AHHH!

*Stays strong and puts up an iron will* Good luck to you all!

Oh, the Girl Scouts just happen to sell their cookies outside of every grocery store here, too

Oh I will try! I usually see the little she-devils selling their wares outside of stores. There I am, coming out of the grocery store about to bowl them down with my cart of healthy food just to get away!

This isn't a bad idea. And it's nice to share. But then I think "I should just make soup for the shelter so they won't have any of that trans fat."

Funny, my friend just told me she ordered 2 boxes from all who asked. (full sleeve of frozen choc mint, anyone??)

So far nobody has come around my neck of the woods. Thx for the heads up!!

I'm considering myself lucky that scouts over here don't sell cookies.... Do they go door to door in the states?

Oh my. Samoas are the best thing ever!!!!! I will have to stay far away!!

Depends on the neighborhood. Many still do.

But a lot of them set up stands outside of stores. Catch people when they're in shopping mode.

Speak. Of. The devil!!

I just got a call from our 6 year old girl scout representative wondering if I wanted to buy some girl scout cookies

6 year olds should NOT be allowed to use the phone. I'm even more weak against their powers.

Edit: I should explain that the original "call" was from said brownie's mother, explaining that brownie would be calling to officially solicit us.

I am never more grateful to work with a bunch of childless, older women than I am during Girl Scout Cookie season

I'm glad I live in the country, and I don't know anyone who's in girl scouts! lol
