Want Samoa Girl Scout Cookies?
Lilly Bumpus, 8, a Brownie overcame a form of cancer known as Ewing’s Sarcoma. Lilly set a record for the organization by selling 32,484 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in a single season. She sold cookies from a booth set up outside her San Bernardino home and collected orders online, many of which were donation orders for patients at various children’s hospitals in the area. “Lilly reached 32,000 boxes out of everyone seeing value in buying one box, two boxes, four boxes, and everybody working together to try to be a small piece of a really big puzzle.” Lilly’s’ Girl Scout troop, which is composed largely of cancer survivors, girls currently undergoing cancer treatment and children who have lost a loved one to the illness, gathered outside her home March 22 to unveil her sales total: 32,484 boxes. “She sold her freaking heart out till the last day of Girl Scout cookie season,” her mother said. “We boothed 11 hours straight outside our house and sold 500 boxes in one day. It’s Lilly being Lilly. She does not like somebody telling her something is not possible.”

This Girl Scout Cookie diet is really paying off……now I’ve got that “Samoan” figure.
The secret to Michael’s and my happy marriage is that we each hate the other’s favorite Girl Scout cookie flavors.
Yeah, I ate 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies today and I’ll do it again tomorrow, too.

My wife bought three boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. So now I have to find three boxes of replacement Girl Scout Cookies before she gets home.
