Damn girl scouts and their cookies...


So I arrive to work today and I'm heading into the South kitchen to get a cup of water. I was just minding my own business; trying to keep my body hydrated. I could sense danger as I passed through the doorway and when I saw it, I froze in mid-step. GIRL SCOUT COOKIES were in a box on the table with a lovely note, "$4 per box. Put the money in the envelope and enjoy!" I looked away at first, but it was too late. I had already spotted the GREEN box of Thin Mints. For those of you who have never had a Mint Slice, Thin Mints are the bomb! Since Mint Slice cookies are only available in Australia, I decided I would settle for some Thin Mints. (We already ate all the Mint Slice that Justine and Scott brought us from Sydney.) I took them home with me when I went home for dinner. I shared them with my love. I never knew this, but they go quite well with red wine. After we ate nearly HALF of them, she made me take the box back to work with me. Here it sits, on top of tomorrow's schedule...taunting me, tempting me. Damn those Girl Scouts and their cookies!! Grumble, grumble...crumble, crumble.

I guess I should get back to eating...er...uh, I mean...back to work.

I'm convinced that they make them with crack. Damned things are SO addictive!
