Down with the Girl Scouts

Okay, before the den mothers out there get their knickers in a twist, let me first say that I think the Girl Scouts are a wonderful organization teaching upstanding values and principles to thousands of young ladies across our nation. That being said...why, why, why must you wreck my diet every year? I tread on a very slippery slope of temptation. A well mannered little girl, wrapped in a badge decorated green sash is enough to push me over the edge. I managed to avoid the first crop of cookies, but in a moment of weakness Thin Mints slipped through my resolve. I left the doors of Kroger with a full box and somehow only got home with half a box. How did this happen?

You know if I had been there we would have eaten ALL those cookies, then no one would even know we bought any!!

I will have to avoid any stores that have a Scout group in front of the doors ! As everyone knows, I always find an unused gift around the house that I didn't need. Well, it was European cookies..........I held off, what ....7-8 weeks? Till, yesterday. Doomsday.........There is about 1/2 of the tin left. Going to a meeting at Curves Wednesday. Wonder if there will be any cookies left I could take as a meeting gift?
