Even though they might not be healthiest thing, you are lucky to be able to get them! This is such a fun poem.

This year, for reasons I still can't figure out, not so much. I am not even going to tell you who actually did eat most of them!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-36637891571388066412012-03-06T23:45:56.234-05:002012-03-06T23:45:56.234-05:00I never thought about the timing of Girl Scout coo...I never thought about the timing of Girl Scout cookies. March is indeed late enough to forget about new years resolutions and early enough to feel months away from summer.

A true writing teacher providing a purpose! I'm quite the opposite - I find it more difficult to write about memories because I don't feel I can capture with all the details and select words . . . rather, I open my eyes, ears and heart and find more and more stories happening in the day! Thanks for the insights! I think you took an crumb of inspiration and created a magnificent poem!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-78242449217783384572012-03-06T21:43:50.199-05:002012-03-06T21:43:50.199-05:00I never thought of it, but you're entirely rig...I never thought of it, but you're entirely right. It's almost conspiratorial! I loved the poem, Cathy. <br />On the other hand, I don't think you can turn the girls away and still be a 'good' person, can you?

I'd like to think my will-power would be strong enough in January to just say no, but in March when it's too soon to be thinking about the beach, my defenses are just too weak.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957066112909102850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-69830099378842367042012-03-06T21:35:06.832-05:002012-03-06T21:35:06.832-05:00Mine only made it in the freezer long enough to ge...Mine only made it in the freezer long enough to get semi-cold.... Nice work that you still have some left. If they need a home, you know where I live! And I LOVE the poem - thank you for sharing that.

Those girl scouts are no dummies. They know they wouldn't sell nearly as many cookies in January. Your poem made me smile tonight as I stare at the boxes of cookies sitting on kitchen table. :)Julie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497758310228642932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-85447836718656196152012-03-06T21:18:48.509-05:002012-03-06T21:18:48.509-05:00Kathy, I can so relate to how you were "waiti...Kathy, I can so relate to how you were "waiting for the story to jump into your hand". I was toying with several stories until my daughter gave me an idea. I love your cookie poem. We've already eaten four boxes in the last few days. Once we start, we just can't stop. As always, another wonderful slice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373919113998181845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-38259355888734933332012-03-06T21:17:33.917-05:002012-03-06T21:17:33.917-05:00I ate a whole box of Tagalogs yesterday.

I have a problem, I know this now.<br /><br />Loved the slice. It's a good I wonder. However I don't think even a new year could persuade me that a serving of thin mints is less than a sleeve.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11884288283471131935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-26201764844755363422012-03-06T21:10:24.671-05:002012-03-06T21:10:24.671-05:00What a great "I wonder."

Something tells me those delicious cookies (especially the thin mints) would sell, even in January. ;)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011661904689079860noreply@blogger.com
