They are evil. I don’t care how cute those little girls are in their cute little green vests with their cute little smiles and their sweet little voices. They are evil- do NOT be fooled. Their weapon of choice? Sweet, delectable, luscious, delicious, sometimes chocolatey, sometimes gooey, sometimes crunchy, but always tastey - COOKIES. And not just any cookies-Girl scout cookies at that.
Well, its that dreadful time of year. Again. And actually it hasn’t always been dreadful, but in years past, I didn’t have a care in the world. I bought a box of cookies for each flavor I craved, and ate them whenever I felt like eating a cookie. This year, however, I cannot afford to fall back off the wagon for a stinkin’ cookie, no matter how good they are. And they are good. But I know if I buy a box of cookies, I will eat ALL of them. And its just not worth it. As I walked past the little table set up outside the grocery store this evening, I felt really good telling the little devil who asked me if I wanted to buy some girl scout cookies today, “Sorry, not today.” I did feel a little bad for not being able to help support her and her little devil girl scout troop, but at the same time I reveled in the fact that I made a good decision for my health, and I withstood the test thrown into my midst. Either that or the stomach bug I am recovering from still has a hold of my appetite and still has cravings for all things yummy suppressed.
Yeah, I think I’ll just stick with the first answer.

OMG!! I'd kill for some of those cookies. Girl Scouts don't sell here on the island! I'd love the opportunity to turn them down, but I wouldn't..I'd buy them out.
Love you!
