Default Girl Scout Cookies!

Oh man, these things came in yesterday and I'm sooo excited. I've got the samoas, the do-si-dos, the thin mints, and one of those new dulce con leches. I can hardly contain myself, I'm like a kid in a girl scout cookie store.

I was going to be OCD and eat them consecutively by bar code number but I sort of flipped out and opened ALL the boxes eating one or two from each. This way it seems like I'm consuming less and I won't get as fat. I think the samoas are my favorite, I'm allergic to coconut but it's sooo good. Someone asked me when I was leaving early why I'd eat them if I was allergic... my throat was too swollen to answer but isn't it obvious? I never get to eat it! Once a year, that's it. I've been very good this year, I figured I deserved to treat myself.

I can't remember which are worse, but on one of them a serving is 2 or 3 cookies for 150 or so calories.



BTW if you need more, I can get 'em for ya.

I say go nuts. Challenge yourself, see if you can eat all of them today. You could even make a graph with number of cookies as the X axis and amount you hate yourself as the Y. I bet 4 boxes can get that Y pretty high but it would totally be worth it.

God I'm a nerd, why does my first thoughts go straight to graphs and modeling. Oh well, your first thought was to eat them in order based on bar code number so I guess I'm in good company.

you should see how many cookies you can eat in an hour and then try to break that record.

I can't help myself and eat a whole box of peanut butter patties (whatever they call those luscious blop of chocolate covered peanut butter on a crunchy cookie). Then I feel kinda sick. This year I ordered thin mints so I can put them out at work. Those really make me sick so I actually don't eat them. Not the good kinda sick from the peanut butter patties.
