The Girl Scout Cookies are in

I love the Girl Scout thin mint cookie. I actually look forward to this time of year to get my annual fix.

Having said that, here are my issues with the Girl Scout thin mint cookie. First of all, they are entirely addictive and you can have every good intention of having 1 or 2 or 4, but the next thing you know, you've inhaled an entire sleeve. Second, because they are only available for a limited time, I'm pretty sure they taste better and I feel as if I've been deprived for such a long time that I order way too many boxes.

Now I tend to be a sweet freak and my will power has never been exemplary, but I'm pretty sure that if I had kept track through the years, there would be a definite spike in my weight in March. And I know for a fact (because I've got pictures to prove it) that I really packed it on in the spring of my junior year in college when my sorority sold Girl Scout cookies as a philanthropic activity. I got left with extra boxes that were ordered, but never paid for by some of my friends so I ended up eating them.

While I love the thin mint, I think the name is a bit misleading. I've been left anything but thin!
