It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

There are non-Holiday times throughout the year when this ol time Christmas favorite sings true, and this is another one of those times.  What time is that?  Girl Scout Cookie time.   I must admit I was just settling in for a long winter's night sleep when Peter peeked his head into our bedroom and told me our adorable Girl Scout Neighbor, Addie, was at the door with our Girl Scout Cookies.  I haven't bounded out of bed this fast since forever.  I, miracle of all miracles, found my checkbook immediately, threw a figure on it, snatched the case away from adorable Addie in her badge covered Girl Scout smock, and went to work.  


Do you have a Girl Scout neighbor?  If not, I suggest you move until you find yourself living next door to one.  And by the way, are the thin mints smaller than they used to be???  Is that why I had to eat twice as many??  And yes, Mom, I have put a box of thin mints in our safety deposit box so it will be intact for me to bring to Florida in April.  You'll be proud that I didn't put them in the mail - saving money on postage.

  1. You go JoJo!!!!! Some smart girlscout has set up 'office' outside of our middle school when school lets out and does a brisk business with hungry kids en route home!
