It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!

Tueday evening, I picked up the cookies our troop sold in our initial order.

Wednesday evening I met one of the parents and gave her the order for her daughter.

Tonight, all the other parents are picking up the orders for their girls.

Tomorrow night we have a cookie booth. Saturday we have an ALL DAY cookie booth! The booths this weekend are different that most. I know you've all seen Girl Scouts standing outside of WalMart or whatever! Well, my troop is going to be at the edge of a parking lot. We are going to have a table and signs and a canopy (if it's not too windy) and we are going to have a DRIVE-THRU cookie booth. Customers wouldn't have to get out of their cars to get cookies! lol How exciting is that???!?!?!?!

We are the first troop in our area to try it. However, a troop in VA tried it and they sold about 17,000 boxes of cookies in ONE WEEKEND! I am not prepared to sell 17,000 boxes of cookies! lol I am only taking about 400 boxes. I'm setting up a delivery for more if we start running out and need them! :) I'm thinking we will NOT sell 17,000! I just don't think it's possible since my "back-up" (the local cookie cupboard) only has 500 in her stash. (Those are for every troop in the district if they need extra cookies!)

So... I have to get ready to SHIP cookies to a lot of our family! They are paying me on PayPal and I'm shipping the cookies to them! lol Plus, a few of my facebook friends are having me ship cookies to them too!

If you want cookies, it's NOT too late! I can still ship them to you too! :) (I had to PLUG THE COOKIES! lol)

I will be swamped with cookies.....

Until next time........

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

My Goodie Box!

Image
Recently, I participated in a swap over at Dandelion Wishes by Mamarazzi! My partner was Lisa from Like a Valentine ! This was awesome. I was so excited the whole time putting stuff together for my partner. Then I was like a kid at Christmas when I got my package from Lisa. There are some simple rules to the swap.... check out the next one that she does! Anyways... one of the rules is that you take pics and make a post about the goodies that you received. So.... I know these pics and some of the info are repeats from what I did in my 100th post, but I needed a separate post..... just for the swap! These are my goodies as they came out of the box.....weren't they wrapped cutely? I loved the paper Lisa used to wrap it. These are my goodies AFTER I unwrapped them! I got Devil's Food cake mix, white buttercream icing, and cute little cupcake liners. I got chocolate mints, note cards, recipe cards, orange soap....really smells like oranges. I have Aveeno lip conditioner an
