It’s That Time…#Girl Scout Cookie Season is Here

January 17, 2012

It’s here:

Once again my weekends are going to be full of math in increments of $3.50, knitting, and freezing my tail off as I move that product.
This is my last year of aiming for 3000 plus boxes of cookies.  The Teen has one more year of Girl Scouts which coincides with Senior Year.  She is determined to become a teacher and I anticipate next year being more about university prep than being the top cookie seller.  I’ll miss the shade that’s thrown when The Teen is honored as the top seller.

As I look back over old posts, I see that I have this love/hate relationship with cookie sales.  I love the lessons that come from cookie sales, and the solo time with The Teen is invaluable.  I usually have a knitting project that I work on, and occasionally finish.  I hate lugging cases of cookies from my car to our booth and   how all of my free time seems to be going back and forth to the cookie cupboard and breaking down cases.

I can’t think of anything new to add to my cookie rants, so I present past posts about my journey with cookie sales:

I Got the Yeyo: Selling cookies is like pushing crack.  To see the way people jostle to grab the last box of Thin Mints or Carmel de Lites is a sight to behold.

Girl in The Hood: Adventures in cookie booths.

Sales are Over!: The first year we’re done selling and I’m happy as a runaway slave!

Cookie Mania!: We’re honored with an opportunity to do a kick-off with new GSEP CEO Natalye Paquin, Esq.

Goodbye, Again!: This is the year she went to Hollywood.

The Teen has decided that she wants to go to Paris this year.  Of course, that was full so London is next on the list.  That’s a lot of Thin Mints and Lemonades that will be tempting me to eat “just one more.”

These cookies aren’t going to sell themselves!

    I got so many comments when I had it on in Center City, but it was for my daughter, so I did what I needed to do. This is my last year of hard cookie sales, so I am thankful for that! Thanks for stopping by!
