I know that this makes two posts in one day, but since there isn’t a whole lot of activity going on with my last post and this is MAJOR, I know you will all indulge me.
What is the big to do, you ask?
GIRL SCOUT COOKIES, PEOPLE!!!!
In my case, multiple boxes of Girl Scout Cookies!!!!!
Jonathan came home yesterday with Samoa’s, Tag-A-Longs, and my very favorite cookie….THIN MINTS.
I heart Thin Mint cookies with the power of a thousand burning suns.
As this is not be very conducive to my weight-loss plans, it is a good thing that these keep well in the freezer and are freaking TASTY eaten frozen.
And you? Are you as ridiculously excited about this time of year as I am?
What is YOUR favorite Girl Scout Drug Cookie of choice?
Girl Scout cookies are the DEVIL. (I just gave up sugar.) :-(
You just watch, Pants. Your evil receptionist will soon have boxes on her counter!!!!
This is why I love blogs. So informative! Does the New York Times tell me about Girl Scout Cookie Season? NO, IT DOES NOT!
So, thank you. You have renewed my will to live. (You and a fresh cup of coffee.)
Thin Mints are my crack, by the way.
THIN MINTS TOO!
I was a Girl Scout and these are only one of a couple I actually recognize. And they give you so many in a box. The other boxes I always feel a bit shafted.
I stay the HELL away from these little morsels of satan. Even when I was a troop leader, I made the cookie mom promise to keep them away from me. Be strong, L.
I used to love Girl Guide Cookie season.
Then my daughter became one and I’ve had to pitch hundreds of those satan’s crackers.
Now I’m fresh out of love for them…
Tagalongs, hands down.
But can you believe that not even one stinkin’ Girl Scout showed up on my doorstep peddling cookies this year? I am cookieless.
Kile brought ours home earlier this week. Heaven! He brought home 2 boxes of Thin Mints and 3 boxes of Peanut Butter Patties. The peanut butter ones are my favorites but I have a soft spot for Thin Mints this year too so I’m all set. ;)
Moose:
They ARE crack! It’s like line from “So, I married an axe murderer”:
“It’s like the Colonel with his wee, beady eyes that puts chemicals in his chicken that make me crave it fortnightly!”
I totally wonder what they add to the things.
SLP:
Thin mints are going to rule the world, I tell you. :)
WOAH! Many comments while I was writing the above response!
Kimberly:
“LITTLE MORSALS OF SATAN”???!!! Oh. My. HELL.
You should not make one with bootcamp afflicted ab muscles LAUGH SO DAMN HARD, WOMAN!
Seriously…If I do get to meet you at BlogHer I have a feeling it is just going to be me snorting at you all night!!!
Redneck Mommy:
I hear you. I used to love movie popcorn until I worked in a theater. Now the smell almost makes me hurl.
rima:
The troops in my area all order tons of surplus and sell them for 2 weeks in front of grocery stores. Maybe you have some in your area?
It’s awesome because it means a last chance at gettin’ some Thin Mint Lovin’
Marilyn:
I used to love Samoas until I hate so many it made me sick, so Thin Mints it is!
I am waiting patiently for mine to arrive.
Last year, they arrived at 2:03pm on March 17. I know this because I had just arrived home from the hospital, having given birth to my daughter the day before. I was the happiest little Mommy on earth that day!!
I now associate THIN MINTS with my first hour home with my new little bundle of joy. I even considered changing her middle name to THIN MINT. Luckily once the drugs wore off, I changed my mind and went with the name we had picked out.
Thin Mints and Samoas. Please, don’t ask me to choose.
But we already got ours. And they are already gone. Oh the tragedy!
DUDE!!! Those are ALL my favorites too!!!
I already ate my Tag-alongs and Samoas. I keep my Thin Mints in the freezer. I treasure those for AS LONG AS I CAN!
I am crazy for the samoas and thin mints…got 2 of each flavor in my pantry!
Thin Mints are the best. I so need to find Girl Scouts at the mall to get some. With two boys I will never have to sell them and always need to hunt someone down for the memories. I also need to get some Trefoils for my little guy to learn the fine art of eating cookies.
oh, I have long since finished my thin mints. they are the only ones I order now. i think you should stash one box away to sell on ebay. can you imagine how much you’d get for a box in about 2 months?
Caramel Delights!!!!! They are amazing.
P.S. – I am not avoiding you. Just got the message today and I am so going to try to get a hold of you later tonight.
You are SO avoiding me! Which is going to make me cry!! And justify me horking down two boxes of cookies and it is ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!
Man, I love it when I have someone else to blame!
(Hee hee hee)
I like the Thin Mints, but haven’t had one in a couple years. I let my husband go out and buy the cookies, so then they’re kind of “his” and I don’t feel as tempted to pick in and indulge. But frozen Thin Mints are divine!
Maybe I should go find the Girl Scouts in front of the grocery store this weekend and buy my very own box. That would be so indulgent.
Connie:
The thin mint middle name is SLAYING me.
falwyn:
Ack! Go find MORE!
PlainJane:
I know…The freezer is the only place to keep them. I feel like Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory nibbling at his birthday bar to make it last as long as possible!
ellinghouse says:
Maybe I will attempt to eat Samoa’s this year.
TheAngelForever:
I know. I have no girls either so I am screwed for getting hooked up with them.
heather:
Now, THAT is an interesting marketing idea…
Jill:
You should do it.
Actually, the bargain should be that I DON’T eat a whole box and YOU DO!!!!
GRIN.
ehem. b/c my daughter’s troop leaders do not know how to count, i have a surplus of thin mints and samoas i must sell…
let me know if you need a few more boxes. LOL.
OMG! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thin mints, not samoas, though.
You realize this makes you my crack dealer, right?
A year or two ago, they used to have these awesome cinnamon spiced coffee cookies that were great with my morning coffee. Not so good as just a plain cookie, but sometimes you just need a dipping cookie, and these were the best ones I had tried! But they apparently discontinued them. And that makes me angry.
Oh, that is just not right.
I am incensed on your behalf.
You should write a letter to the GS board to purge your pain. :)
Oh, Thin Mints. So thin! So minty!
If I could, I would pound them up and snort them, or liquefy them and just open up a vein, but both these methods would rob me of that satisfying moment of gently scraping the thin, chocolate, outer layer across my teeth before taking the first minty bite.
Man, I would totally pull a Spitzer and pay some girl four grand for some Thin Mints right now.
By total coinkidink, I happen to know a gorgeous, muscularly sore and granny-bootcamp whipped woman who may be able to hook you up.
Four grand always comes in handy, you know…
Those three are my all time favorites. But we always buy more boxes of the thin mints because they are so good!
Starting this weekend you can also buy cookies from a troop cookie booth near you! check out http://www.gsutah.org. Even though I bought 5 boxes I always crave them when they are gone. Maybe I’ll buy just a few more… he he!
I seriously want to buy surplus and sell some on ebay. Heh.
Thin Mints of course! I only ate 9! I found them in my daughters pantry behind the boxes of cereal-felt she would not miss a few. First time ever I stopped after a few!!!!!
I ate my three boxes within a week. I should be ashamed but I am not.
I just want more.
Sigh. Chocolate and vanilla. Yes, that’s right. In Canada, we have only two flavors. And our vanillas can kick your Thin Mints’ butt ANYDAY!
Getting in car. Driving to your house. Raiding your freezer. And all can be easily justified that I am helping a friend with her diet.
I am all over the Samoas. Oh, my yumminess!
The Samoas are the best, I cant go anywhere in this town without running into girl scouts selling cookies on the corner.
What’s so wrong with loving ALL of them!?! (Besides the whole cellulite factor.)
Frozen Samoas.
I wonder if they’ll be made without trans fat this year…
Frozen thin mints. Period.
But frozen thin mints, crumbled in homemade blue bell vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries. It is tonguegasmically amazing.
I LOVE girl scout cookies. I was wondering when it was that time again. YEAH! My favorite is thin mints too. I definitely have to find a girl scout tomorrow.
Dude… jess asked me 3 times if I wanted some and I said no. In my mind I was screaming YES, but I still said no. /sigh
I love you thin mints!!!
I am a fan of the vanilla Girl Guide cookies. I see no mention of them here. Is it only a Canadian option??
I STILL haven’t gotten my crack-erm, Girl Scout Cookies! Is it wrong if I interrogate the little neighbor girl who sold ‘em to me?
The Do-si-dos aren’t getting much love here. They are my GS cookie of choice.
I always buy enough to last me a few months. In fact I just got my 22 (yes 22) boxes of cookies yesterday. My favorite? Equally split between Thin Mints and Samoas. The trick is hiding them in a safe place where my daughter and my mother will not find them.
Thin Mints and I haven’t eaten one in many years.
Besides liking any of the cookies, I love the ice cream as well.
Hard to stick to you diet with cookies in the house, maybe you should bring some over to your fellow Cache bloggers?
Shut.
Up.
Why am I the only one that hasn’t gotten their cookies yet? Where is my Girl Scout?
I’m a Thin Mint girl, too. My sister is a Girl Scout, so I have connections (her friends, I mean, since she doesn’t sell cookies anymore), but Eric and I made the difficult decision not to splurge on the cost or the calories (mostly that) this year. Now I might be regretting that decision.
little debbie > girl scout cookies (especially after freezing)
plus they’re cheaper
Last year I bought 10 boxes- 5 each of Thin mints and Samoas, to last the whole year. I hid them in my laundry room where I knew my husband would NEVER go. I went out in the fall to dig up a box to surprise my family with for dessert and wouldn’t you know it, “someone” had sniffed their way with their extra-sensory perception to my stash and there was only one box left… and it wasn’t the thin mints!
I sat there and snarfed down half the box of Samoas right then and there,and threw the rest away just despite him. I got really sick later, but it was worth it a few days later when hubby came in wondering if we had any girl scout cookies “just lying around anywhere”. I knew he didn’t want to admit he had found them months ago and had been swiping them. I simply said, “Girl Scout cookies? mmmm… Noooo…. I don’t think they even came by this year.”
What could he say????
