Guys I was trying so hard to resist buying girl scout cookies from a lady work selling them but this morning I caved in and bought three boxes. I am going to share them with my coworkers so at least I'm not eating the three boxes on my own. Lol I got thin mints, adventurfuls, and exploremores which is a new flavor to our area this year...

We live in the middle of no where do no door to door sales at my house but they are always at Walmart and one of the ladies that works upstairs in our Environmental Health Department sales them for her daughter. She put signs up all over and one is right at sure level on a door that I have to go on and out at least 30 times a day so I'm surprised my will power lasted as long as it did... 😆
