Those Girl Scouts aren't telling us something...

they are adding addictive illegal drugs into those cookies!


It's that time of the year again, you know what I'm talking about--girl scout cookies. When I was little, I of course participated in girl scouts. I started as a "brownie", this mid rank of this little girl club. During these meetings, we'd do all kinds of arts and crafts, volunteer work and such. When I was about eight years old, we had a meeting at my house. I picked out these really awesome reindeer pencil craft things. You basically take a decorated pencil and hot glue colored pom poms, pipe cleaners and eyes onto it--so it looks like a reindeer. I had the GREATEST idea ever! Since childhood, I've always been a jokester. This idea was sure to make everyone laugh hysterically. I decided to shove two red pom poms up my nose, one for each nostril of course! Everyone started laughing, but shit got serious when I couldn't get them out. Being a little kid, I of course had pushed them up further into my nose attempting to fetch them. My dad ended up having to take me to the ER, and they had to take them out with the "alligator"--which really is just a hemostat. Needless to say, we never had brownies at my house again.

I can't remember what rank I got up to. After elementary school, I lost interest and dived into the world of clothes and makeup. This time of the year always reminds me of my brownie days. Super fun and very competitive. You can't just BUY Girl Scout cookies anytime, you have to order them in season--from a girl scout! No online orders, no nothing. I actually had gone to the lengths a few years ago to get on their website to have a Girl Scout find me! Ridiculous...those brats didn't even e-mail me back! This year Michelle's step daughter was selling them. GOLD right? I did cave in and buy some boxes. She brought them to work for me today, and I was very excited just to have them. I didn't even open them up to eat 'em! To tell you the truth, I don't plan on eating them anytime soon. My box of Thin Mints will sit in the freezer, until I have a mental emergency and need to eat a few. the Shortbread ones are going to sit in the baking shelf. They'll make a great crumb for cheesecake one day.

I'm pretty proud of myself for not indulging. Not like I had time to at work anyway, we were SUPER busy. Tomorrow is Parade Day and I'm uber jealous of my friends that get to go. I won't feel so bad if it rains though! I'll be stuck at work, in the drunk tank all night. By the time I get out at 9, everyone will be in an alcohol induced coma. Greaaat...

Corky Ramano, lmao
