Today’s Weight … 122.0
Pshhhhh. I laugh at you, two tenths of a pound. You will not deter me.
Don’t get it? Check this post.
It seems that everything I need to do lately needs to be done … “by tomorrow!” I’m forgetting so very much these days. Stress? Mom brain? Old age? The formaldehyde in my nail polish? Who knows? But since I just learned that our Girl Scout cookie order form is due the day after tomorrow, I sent this email out today. If you happen to live in my area and are actually interested in ordering some overpriced treats (now with no trans fats!), let me know. Otherwise, you can just enjoy reading the last minute pitch of a desperate and tired woman.
Dear (unfortunate soul selected from my personal email database for this hapless sales effort because you live nearby and I don’t think you have a girl scout in your close circles),
This is the weakest sales pitch you will ever receive.
My girl is selling Girl Scout cookies. Again. And I’m helping. Again..The boxes are $3.50 each. If you want some, please let me know as soon as you can. Here are your cookie choices –
- Savannah Smiles (like Lemon Coolers)
- Trefoils (shortbread)
- Do-Si-Dos (sandwich peanut butter)
- Samoas (caramel coconut)
- Dulce de Leche (with milk chocolate chips)
- Thank You Berry Much (taste like Pop Tarts to me)
- Tagalongs (chocolate peanut butter)
- Thin Mints (unless you live under a rock, you know what they are)
If you live nearby, we’ll deliver them to you. And we almost never remember to collect any money, so we’re really the best deal in town. Also, if you don’t want any cookies or just want to ignore my email, no sweat. Two minutes after I hit send on this message, the phone will probably ring and I’ll take the call and one of the kids will run in needing something from me “immediately” while I’m talking and the buzzer to whatever I’m cooking on the stove will go off just as it’s beginning to boil over and I will completely forget I even sent this email. I think I hear the phone now …

WHAT’STHEUPDATE???HOWMANYBOXESSOLD???
I MUST KNOW!!!!
Guap, we now stand at 74.
Ergo, I’m NEVER walking the stupid neighborhood again. This “lesson” has helped me none with my procrastination problem.
Hey, you’re just working smarter!
I think we were generally lied to about how hard we needed to work for something.
Is 74 enough for a badge?
Hi There!!
Procrastination sucks a big one don’t it…Was minimum boxes for a badge? I sure loved those cookies when I was a kid. I don’t think I live near you. I’m in the midwest of the US>
Good luck!!!
I was thinking you were an Aussie…It’s NOLA isn’t it?
Yes. What made you think I was a Sheila?
Shelia…I think u may be…Check out this urban dict. definition:
A great and loving person someone that you can call a sister.The most amazing cook ,generous heart,caring and loving. She is Funny and loves to Dance even if it is to her own music. Life is full of fun and funny stories with lots of laughter when you are with her. She pushes her self out of her comfort zone to accomplish the tasks that’s placed before her with a job well done. When you are sad or feeling ill she is the first one to respond to your side.
If your a Sheila set your goals high, Because this is what Sheila’s do.
It is Cool to be a Sheila …Bright, Smart and Beautiful in side and out. Most of all In tune with the Spirit of God!

Yay! Thanks. I love that. Though I question the ‘great cook’ part. I’m a bit remedial in the kitchen … but I’m working on it!
