Friday Fragments is brought to you by Mrs4444!
I feel like Charlie grew into a little boy overnight. One day he was a little toddler, and then he woke up one morning and was a tall, outspoken, independent little person. Of course there's nothing better than watching them grow and develop, but it's still kind of sad at the same time.
Of course, if you ask him he'll tell you "I'm not a little boy, I'm a tiger!"
We're getting more snow tonight. MORE SNOW. I know I shouldn't complain, since we were (mostly) spared the massive storm the rest of the country got this week, but I'm not looking forward to running in the snow. Not just IN the snow, but while the snow is falling. That stuff stings!
I guess snow is better than sub-zero temperatures. I snapped this one two weeks ago when I pulled up in front of the Running Spot.
It's Girl Scout Cookie time! I submitted my usual order for one box of Thin Mints and one box of Samoas. Yum!
It probably won't surprise anyone that Thin Mints are the best-selling Girl Scout Cookie, accounting for 25% of sales. What is somewhat surprising is the second best - it's Samoas, at 19%. I would have thought Tagalongs were the second best, but they only bring in 13%. Samoas always seem so polarizing - you either LOVE them or you hate them. Mmmmm, cookies and statistics. What a delicious combination.
Did you know they've trimmed the Girl Scout Cookie lineup this year? They cut it down to six! I don't really mind all that much, as I thought the expansion of the product line had gotten a little out of control, anyway.
I was a Girl Scout for 10 years and Cookie Season was always my favorite. I loved selling cookies. Those 10 years also included an incredibly disastrous stint as a camp counselor, but that's a longer post for another day.
I was all set to revive my Office QOTW, but the last two episodes have just been disappointing.
I DVRed a program called Yoga for Runners last week and tried it out over the weekend. It's really freaking hard to do yoga with a cat in the house. He had no interest in sharing the yoga mat and then decided that it would be super fun to attack my feet and calves. Kitten teeth are like needles through the skin.
Sometimes C says things that surprise me, in the "I thought I knew you!" sense. We were giving Charlie a bath the other night and somehow Brooke Shields came up. I think it was in the context of Charlie Sheen. I don't know why we were talking about him, either, but that's irrelevant. Anyway, so C said something about Brooke Shields, and I said something about "who is she, anyway?" and he said "You don't know who Brooke Shields is? She was a model. A Revlon model. And then she had a TV show."
We had a date night last week. It involved Five Guys and UC Bearcat basketball. You know you're jealous....
Have a good weekend!

That sounds like our dates, too, although we usually end up at Dairy Queen :)
ReplyDeleteSnow is way better than ice.
ReplyDeleteI was a girl scout too.
I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like Thin Mints.
Yes, I'm jealous.
:)
Your post made me HUNGRY!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely a dedicated runner!
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list of Samoa fans. LOVE THEM! Have you tried the girl scout ice cream? FABULOUS!
I love me some Samoas. I used to order my GS cookies from a co-worker's daughter. Now that I'm no longer working, I need to find a GS to shake down for my cookie fix!
ReplyDeleteWe recently got a 5 Guys Burger place and I was disappointed; I thought it was overrated. Maybe I should try it again?
five guys is good as long as you are not allergic to peanuts. I have to eat some of the peanuts since they are free.
ReplyDeleteI like Charlie's picture - is that a homemade baseball bat?
Samoas are my fave! And maybe I'm a weirdo, but I love trefoils. Or I think they're called something different now. I think I gravitate toward simplicity - I love vanilla ice cream too.
ReplyDeleteWhen your mileage starts getting REALLY up there - heheheee! - (you can smack me for that one later) - there's a yoga class you should check out - Yin Yoga at YouDoYoga on Main St. downtown. (Disclaimer: My friends own the studio.) It's a slow 90 min floor class that will stretch out everything and leave you feeling like brand new.
ReplyDeleteGirl Scout cookie time is my favorite time of the year-- and the only time I stop and talk to people selling stuff outside the supermarket :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers, jj
I still haven't tried Five Guys even though there's one about 20 minutes from us... I need to try it.
ReplyDeleteYou're a cutie pie, and so is Charlie. I love his line about not being a little boy :)
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with your exercising (even in the COLD!) wow. Keep up the good work :)
