I like talking to my contacts in person when I can. This time of the year, I use Girl Scout cookies as an excuse to visit everyone. Besides taking orders for a troop, I offer to give a free box of cookies to past hosts.

That's generous of you! Sounds like a good idea, but I can't afford anything extra.
 
Mmmm... Girl Scout Cookies! Thanks for reminding me that I'm going to gain 20 pounds in March from all the thin mints!
 
Yummm - Samoas!!! (80 calories a piece!! BUT worth it)
 
Ugh...I am SO sick of cookies right now! LOL!! We have been doing booths for weeks now. Last night we FROZE for two hours so my 5 year old could sweet talk Marines! LOL!!! BTW-at every booth that child has worked, at least one Marine has bought HER a box of cookies! LOL!!!
 
I think I would rather the Marine than the cookies...LOL :blushing: :love:
