She wore a greeeeen (not raspberry) beret.

Me: reading NY Times articles about obesity

Coworker: "Hey, Candice, the Girl Scout cookies you ordered are here!"

Me: heart swells with joy

At least I can tell myself that two of the boxes I ordered are for my brother; I'm going to mail them to him as a surprise.  He's a total Thin Mint junkie and while he's very health conscious, I know he'll enjoy these in moderation.

Did you know the Girl Scouts are mostly doing away with badges?  This makes me sad.  I understand they're trying to modernize but I think small achievements like badges are good for girls.  I know I still treasure mine (I have my juniors badge sash in a box in the basement - and, yes, I'm old enough that we had sashes, not those vests they got later).

So now I shall finish out my afternoon, trying to get some work done while not eating the eight boxes of Girl Scout cookies sitting to my right.
