COOKIES OR .....

I realized tonight that my THIN MINTS Girl Scout Cookie stockpile was looking a little low.  I don't have many "sweet" addictions.  Mine are more like Lite beer and cheese enchiladas.

BUT,  THIN MINTS are my weakness.  And I hate that you can only buy them once a year, for 2 months.  You can stockpile them, however.  BUT, they only sell them once a year, that's my point.

So, knowing my love for THIN MINTS, Husband always tries to keep me in supply every year.  He feeds my addiction.  I don't eat more than one or two a day,  but I WANT THEM THERE EVERY DAY, GODDAMNIT!  Sorry.

Sooooo, here is my last reserve.  MY LAST, until February of 2011!!!!!  Four packages.

I keep them in the freezer because they are just simply THE BEST when you eat them FROM THE FREEZER.  Plus I guess it keeps them fresh or whatever.  (That other sweet stuff you see in the freezer picture is Husbands - not even of interest to me!  Well, maybe the Orange Sherbet because I love the packaging, but...)

Anyway, FOUR little packages of THIN MINTS, that's all I have left.  Did you know that there are 16 cookies in each package?  And there are two packages in each box you buy.  You are buying 32 cookies.  They don't tell you THAT on the front of the pretty, green box.

So, here's my figuring.....  I've been eating ONE A DAY for a while now, not realizing the desperation, panic I was creating for myself.  But with only four packages left, 16 X 4 = 64, I have to NOW restrict myself to... not even one every other day... but ONE EVERY THREE DAYS!!! Just to make it to February 2011.  I can do this.

Do you think you can buy THIN MINTS on ebay?
