Things You Want Wednesday - GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!!

When the Girl Scout cookies showed up at this time last year, we were right in the middle of P90X. This year? Well, running 30+ miles a week certainly builds up your appetite, so I'm happy to report that I have my Girl Scout cookies. Two boxes - Thin Mints and Samoas. Mmmmmmmm.

I love Thin Mints. I love Thin Mints. I love Thin Mints. I actually had a pretty successful batch when I tried to make them from scratch, but it took FOREVER. I hate dipping things in chocolate.

Yes, I took a picture of me celebrating my Thin Mints. Yes, I know that's kind of sad. You just don't understand how excited I am. I've been good and haven't cracked the seals yet. Thin Mints are best served frozen, so that's where you'll find mine, nestled in between the Ben & Jerry's and the vodka.

I do think the boxes are looking kind of small these days, and that makes me sad.

  1. P90X is some type of exercise machine? You know as you get older, younger people look even younger (my experience anyway). Well I think you could put on a beret (do they still wear those?) and a sash and go as a girl scout yourself. I bet you get carded for that vodka.

  2. I snagged a box of Samoas (they're already gone) and a box of Tagalongs Monday. I almost peed my pants when I saw the Girl Scouts outside of the grocery store!

    I love me some Thin Mints, but I found an appropriate replacement (that costs $2, you just have to be willing to venture to Hell* to get them)!

  3. I was planning on getting two boxes of Girl Scout cookies from the ones that camp outside Kroger. First day = it was so dang crowded that my cart & I couldn't get close to the table.
    Second day = I forgot to bring cash and had all of $1 on me.

    So far GSCookies 2011 = FAIL in our house.

    BTW - I hear Thin Mints are very yummy crumbled over chocolate ice cream. Just sayin'

  4. I think they DO look smaller, and there are LESS thin mints in each sleeve. Ugh. What a crappy way to get us to buy cookies. I already finished a box of samoas with help of the kids.

  5. Mmmmm. I loves me some Samoas. But I'm being good this year, and only eating a couple at a time. And COUNTING the points for all of them.
