I Love TheHIVE
I turned away a Girl Scout….
…and I felt HORRIBLE. First, she was a little, bitty thing…..teeny tiny. She rang the doorbell and knocked at the same time and when I opened it, there she was with her long hair and big brown eyes. I smiled at her and her little Minnie Mouse voice said “would you like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?” I glanced up and there was her brother…the kid that comes by and mows my lawn from time to time and I had just bought some chocolate covered pretzels from a couple of months go. I had a shuddering moment where I almost caved in. It was really close. Instead I said “No thank you.” And her Minnie Mouse voice perked up and said “ok, thank you” and she skipped off my step. She didn’t seem to be at all discouraged or upset. I, on the other hand, closed the door and had an instant WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? thought. I could have had a meltdown right there. Let me back up just a little bit. I’ve been on Weight Watchers for 25 days and I’ve lost 8 1/2 lbs. I’m pretty happy with that. The other day in a meeting, the leader was talking about Girl Scout cookies and there are certain ones that don’t have as many points, blah, blah, blah… Here’s the problem. I know that 3 Thin Mint cookies, which happen to be my very favorite in the world, are 3 points. Three Thin Mints is nothing to shake a stick at. You could be happy with three Thin Mints. I wouldn’t be happy with 3. It would start out with three and all the sudden, I’d look down and find an empty cookie sleeve….and seriously wonder where they all went. It’s just easier if I don’t have them at all. So, while I’m feeling like I let down the Girl Scouts of America, I’m feeling pretty happy that I made the right choice. I’m hoping that it shows up on the scale this week because if it doesn’t….I know where cookie girl lives and I might visit her house and then happily skip off her step 
The kit is pretty Stinking Cute!
