Bury ‘em in the freezer and set a reminder for October.
wow – you answered the door during the game?! I am impressed. We don’t have pvr right now, so we NEVER would have.
oh, and I think we’ll keep Sid the Kid!
We have the same taste in GS cookies. I am avoiding their eyes as I scurry into grocery stores past them.
I call them Somoans. I know it’s wrong, I just can’t stop.
Eat them on your elliptical.
I would have been just as mad if this happened to me. I was glued to that game. Joe Pavelski, on team USA, is from my hometown and our neighborhood was immersed in hockey everything.
We are all quite sad over the loss.
If she were really the devil, she would have been wearing THE hat, not a sombrero…
Those cookies are why I am comfortable bragging about my days as a Brownie–what other organization has something that infamously good? Not the boy scouts with their popcorn…boh-ring! The looks on adults faces when we rang the door bell, order form in hand, and they were trying to show restraint is still etched in my memory.
I’m just jealous because I don’t have a dealer/supplier (excuse me, girl scout) in my life.
Crosby scoring that OT goal to win the gold was just a cruel, cruel twist of fate. I love Canada, but that is one player I just cannot support.
Oh crap. It’s hard to say no to those Girl Scouts.
Stick them in the freezer so they’re not right out in the open and enjoy in moderation.
As a GS alumnae, I feel morally obligated to buy six boxes (at least) every year. That’s why, when I saw the little cookie elves in front of church yesterday, I went in and prayed for my mortal soul and fat ass and walked back to my car cookie free.
Oh my GOD what a game!!!
I’m with Nancy. I was cheering for Canada, but I’m really sorry it was Crosby who made the game-winning goal. D’oh!
As for GS cookies: I have three boxes in my office overhead. Also trying to lose inches. I’m going to use the freezer suggestion.
I wouldn’t be surprised if your dad was responsible for the cookies as well as the timing.
I am with Weight Watchers and that allows me to eat things I like in small portions. If you are able to ration and not eat the whole box, maybe you could do something like that too? I can never totally deny myself, I end up cracking after a while.
Sidney Crosby is from my home province
I was chuffed as hell to see him get the winning goal!
I think any person who comes to the door — UPS, Fedex, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc. — needs to wear a somrero. And a tiny one rather than a big one.
Good call.
I am definitely going to buy a sombrero just in case I ever need to knock on your door.
Also, I thought I was going to skate through cookie season this year, but I was ambushed outside the grocery store today. Dang it!
I would have sent her packing!!!!
LOL!
Damn scouts.
The devil also comes to your door as you are getting out of your car at dinner with two kids, a sick dog and your pregnant self. She promises cookies in two weeks time and you cave and buy six freakin’ boxes.
When you eat them two weeks later your pregnant self thinks they taste like bile. It’s awesome.
