I’m passed the 1/2 way point. Since I’m dealing in round numbers (Balloon vs. Helvetica)

I’m at the 50 pounds lost spot. I needed to hit this spot. Holidays weren’t bad since we weren’t around much home-made food and I cut the calories in the Egg Nog by buying “lite” and adding bourbon.
Now the cabin-fever has hit. The past ten days I have just gone from screen to screen around the house. Computer to Tee Vee and back. Usually not involving any steps, just shutting down the laptop and firing up the remote.
Water-aerobics twice a week knocks a couple hundred calories out of the picture, but they closed one day last week because of the dusting and the muni-pool has been closed because of the dusting.
I just couldn’t drag my sorry ass to Le Clobber de Calories to do a workout, it was just too damn cold. A friend and I decided that this was OK because we were burning more calories in a resting state just to stay warm.
That’s right–not only do soda fountains contain bacteria that originated in poop and potentially dangerous amounts of E. Coli, but they’ve become resistant to antibiotics as well. Fantastic.
I think I now know why I fart a lot after I stop at the local fountain. I was blaming the excess carbonation. Now I know it’s the excess fecal matter.
Parents and relatives of Girl Scouts should not be contributing to the epidemic of child obesity by pushing overpriced factory manufactured baked goods.
I have yet to be asked by a girl scout if I would like to buy cookies. Moms and Dads have asked me, I’ve been accosted by adults outside food stores, but I have yet had a kid in a uniform or even wearing a badge ask if I would like some cookies.
Girls, not adults, should be selling the cookies.
… from the Girl Scout website.
Parents are using Twitter for guilt sales.
If yall love me, you’ll buy Girl Scout cookies from my daughter. You’ll buy lots and lots.

And fast-buck artists are active on Twitter too…
Ah, that wonderful time of year is upon us… where I can enter the lucrative business of selling black market Girl Scout cookies.

marlise55 is selling Girl Scout cookies on Ebay!
Local Girl Scout troops get about 10-15 percent of the price paid, the council takes more than 50 percent, and the manufacturer gets the remainder. For a $4 box, the local troop will earn between 40 and 60 cents per box. The scout can earn a stuffed toy, a T-shirt or a patch for her uniform.
