I was working for the umpteenth time on a new entry and getting nowhere. It would have involved several things:

The fate of the idiot nephew--currently doing six months in county--probably out in three for good behavior.

Getting a tow driver fired. Didn't start out to do it but actions have consequences.

The latest scheme to get Logos' phone number. Involved borrowing B-Mental's rabid bear (see his blog). Still working out some details.

Avengers update. One issue of West Coast Avengers to go out of 102 which would have sedged into now have 102 out of 503 of the parent title.

The alternator/battery trials which has a happy ending in sight.

Sheer delight that The Equalizer season one came out on DVD and I'm already a third of the way through.

The birth of a niece. Not sure if that was mentioned yet.

The return of son James into my life.

The continuing update of the Devil Child well on her way to being in posiiton to make a third husband miserable.

All this and more in loving detail.

Except---


Ruth brought home Girl Scout cookies.

Writer's block caved back in and I'm off to munch.

Besides the long suffering one wants the box back.

    Well what kind of Girl Scout cookies? Thin Mints? Tagalongs? Thank God I haven't been accosted by the Girl Scouts yet. I do not need a box of cookies in this house. I don't buy cookies because if you have them, you eat them, and I am struggling with a diet. So, if I must have something sweet I go get a single serving of something and limit it to that. But seriously, what kind? I just love samoas. But can you belive how much fat and calories is in one of those? And you can't eat just one. Do you know how long you gotta do the stairmaster just to burn it off? a long time.

    I can't believe how much the cost! Is it up to a dollar a cookie yet? I have to say- if I actually give in and fork out the dough for a box of thin mints I don't share.

    The long suffering one bought a box of Thin Mints and one of Caramel delights for $3 a box. I must add that Saturday when I was getting my blood pressure medicine I walked by those little authorized predators by putting on the grump face and by all means avoiding any eye contact. Cruel but it works.

    Thin Mints and Caramel Delights?? Those are my favorites. I always end up buying, I was a girl scout for a few months and some how I feel the need to reciporcate I don't know home many of those boxes of cookies I pushed off on neighbors, friends, and family.

    Mmmmmm. Now I'm craving a cookie. I don't think I have any in the house, so I'll just have to settle for ice cream.

    Those things are so damned addictive... but it seems like you've got a lot of busy/good/trying things going on. Best of luck to you, and I hope these all turn out well.

    Hopefully, she doesn't expect it to be full.

    The Girl Scouts have set up a booth right by the front door of the store where I work. They are $4 a box! When my daughter was a Brownie Scout, they were $2 I think. But the Caramel Delights are so darn good.....

    I used to be a Girl Scout. Naturally our house was loaded with boxes of those. Thin Mints, Caramel Delights, Peanut Butter Patty.....SO GOOD! The kind that were especially good were the shortbread. I loved those! I see now that they have this kind called Cinna-Spins. They sound fantastic! I haven't had any of these in years, but I can't find anyone who sells them either. I'd love to try the Cinnamon ones, though. I'd sacrifice the cash for those.

    Aw, now hold on, please reconsider having the tow truck driver fired. Finding a job isn't easy out there, MT. You're a man of god, what about forgiveness? He loses his job you take his food, you take his soul.
