Uh, where are my cookies? I always miss out on the goodies, I need to find some little girl scouts to sell me cookies, they never hit up my neighborhood.

I was shocked when I read this story though, 17,000 boxes is a lot of cookies, but it isn’t anywhere near impossible. Think about it, everyone loves girl scout cookies, who can say no?

Jennifer Sharpe, a 15-year-old from Dearborn, sold 17,328 boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year, which shatters her troop’s old record and is believed to be a national record, though Girl Scouts of the USA doesn’t track individual sales.

I always thought they tracked individual sales, but I guess that keeps them from competing with ill-mannered thoughts about the competition.

Why did these girls work so hard to push these delicious cookies on to willing customers? So they could take a trip to Europe of course! They saved up $21,000 for their trip and were able to take a 10-day tour next winter.

Troop 813 is the super-selling troop, and this isn’t the first time that they have succeeded at selling their weight and then some in cookies. These girls funded their trip on a Caribbean cruise, and were also able to swim with dolphins with that money.

   I live by Dearborn and I can say I probably gained 10 lbs cause of this little sh*t!!! Plus that, she would go into other girls neighborhoods and sell there. Brat. Ok, I’m just venting cause she hit me up first before my friends kid did and I feel guilty cause I had already bought 10 freaking boxes. TEN BOXES!!! I couldn’t buy anymore dang it. STOP WITH THE GUILT ALREADY. *sigh* I need to go jog.

   work, jogging off those damn thin mints, love the thin mints. I have theory they put coke in those to make us addicted to them, and attending my summer concert series. So far its been The Swell Season (from the movie Once), Duran Duran, The kids in the Hall, got Dave Matthews coming up on Monday, Jack Johnson, Kid Rock, The Police and I think that its.
