Why....

I just got my boxes today. Well so much for nutrition for the next week. I would like to think I have self control when it comes to these things but that is not going to happen lol.

Which are your favorites? I like the peanut butter ones and the lemonades.

I don't lilke any of the "new" cookies.  I liked the creme filled vanilla and chocolate cookies from back in the day......girls scouts today can't bake.

If a cookie doesn't taste good dunked in milk then I'm not interested.

I like em too, but, damn, brotha, ain't nobody got the spare calories for that. They had to go the way of Halloween candy in my life. If I break the seal, it's all over, so I just don't go there anymore. I had a fondness for Carmel Delights.

I have never purchased a single box of girl scout cookies, but I can't even count the number of boxes I've eaten.

For the first time ever, I am able to eat a Girl Scout Cookie as they introduced a gluten free cookie this year (chocolate chip shortbread). They only sell it in select markets, and not mine, but I have secured a number of boxes from a friend who found them in North Carolina. I believe they are in the mail as we speak.

Planning on freezing most of them and enjoying them in moderation. I'm excited, more psychologically than anything, as it's one of those things I was "deprived" of as a child and adult, but can enjoy now for the first time. Whee!

careful - girl scout cookies are far more delicious out of the freezer.

a frozen peanut butter pattie (or tagalong) is HEAVEN IN MY MOUTH.  and i will eat the whole box in one sitting.  

i bought zero boxes this year.

We purchased zero boxes this year.  If we do buy it is caramel delights or thin mint.

Another vote for tagalong--they're awesome.  I've never tasted an equivalent cookie. They must have a patent or something

I bought four boxes of thin mints and two savannah smiles. The thin mints go in the freezer at work and get rationed out over the year. Fridays, usually, are thin mint day :D I'll have a couple cookies before I head out the door to my long run.The savannah smiles I eat (also at work) in one (maybe two) sittings per box. Honestly, there's only 700 calories in the whole box. That's not going to kill me or make me a whale.

Sob.....almost never get to eat them here. Once in a great while, someone brings a few boxes from the States after spring break and I score a cookie or two. but that's about it. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but Thin Mints are some of the few cookies of any kind that I really enjoy!

Thanks for the link! What a great idea! I got a bunch of boxes of Girl Scout cookies from a friend and my coworkers and I loved them! They only loved them too because there were too many to eat by myself.

I have a Thin Mint box and a Tagalong box at the house right now. Tags are nearly gone. Mints are next. Hopefully I do not buy more, but I know me. I have the self restraint of a bilge rat.

My first reaction to wearing a skirt while running was, “are you crazy?” I am no girly girl. I then tried one of the newest skirts from Nicole DeBoom’s TRIKS line and I can tell you I’m hooked.
