Thin Mints and the Winter Olympics!

Category: Sports

You absolutely have to love the Winter Olympics! The only thing better than the Winter Olympics is eating a bunch of thin mints...you know, the Girl Scout treat made of minty tasting chocolate...Oh yeah baby! They make the Olympics taste oh sooo good!

Yep, as I sit here and watch these world class athletes I can't help but think that there is something really wrong with me as I eat a portion (aka a "sleeve") of thin mints...come on now, you know what I am talking about! There are only two portions in each box and they each come in a sleeve! Right? Boy am I motivated!

On this particular night I am watching the Cross Country Relay event. I am so incredibly impressed knowing how difficult and strenuous this amazing sport it...Yet, it doesn't stop me from taking two more cookies...dang, they are soo good when you leave them in the freezer...brrr, just like those skiers out there.

If only I had taken sports a little more seriously, I coulda been out there. Oops, spilled some milk on my flannel pj's....aint life grand! Like I was saying, If only I had worked harder...Hold on....my son is about to take the last cookie...HEY THAT'S MY COOKIE! Isn't it bed time? Have you brushed your teeth, don't forget to floss! UGH! He ate the last cookie, so that means I have to eat one more because I have more milk than cookies...You know what that means? YEP, gotta open the other "portion."

With a body like this, I need to find a winter sport that is amenable to my current physique...curling? bobsledding? Hmmm, maybe I am onto something, I will have to get back to you on this one...

But for the moment, I just have to say that it is like leap year for Girl Scout Cookies...it's rare occasion that should be appreciated and savored.

Enjoy it. Savor it.
