Girl Scouts

The theme for today is EVIL. How can Girl Scouts be EVIL you say? They sell cookies.

So.. I'm trying avoid pretty much anything that has a calorie in it (I believe I can live on air alone), in order to get rid of the last of that pesky weight around my middle.. and my new upward link in the corporate chain walks by.. and he's got.. thin mints!

So he drops a few on my desk and walks away. I try and pretend they don't exist, but do nothing to try and move them as that would require touching them. A few seconds later, I begin to smell the minty goodness. "A small bite won't hurt", I say to my weakining self. Four seconds later, the cookies are gone.

Tom,
On a morning when I step on the scale and find I have lost the EVIL 7 pounds that I set out to discard, I can relate to the tempting cookie scenario. After two weeks of work, long evenings of conferences and other such events, I, too, have passed by the delightful pleasures that are teasing me at every pass. And you are quite correct....just one bite, can turn into..."I can't believe I ate the WHOLE thing!" My advise to you...stay away from the Girl Scouts...and the "Brownies" as well!!!
