Watch Out Little Girl Scout

If things don't work out in the floral industry, I've decided to take up a career in sales. Remember how I've dedicated myself to being the best damned Stake Activities Co-chair in the history of Co-chairs? Well, late last Thursday night when one of the Stake Presidency asked me to make arrangements for our Stake Leadership Training on Sunday, I was more than happy to accomodate. I scurried around like a crazy person and ordered cookies, etc. for 400 people. No problem. . . .almost. I show up at the designated location with my goodies and begin unloading. It is only then that I notice several men walking into the building with what appears to be a large amount of milk. I turn to one and ask what they're doing. He matter-of-factly tells me that they are bringing in the refreshments for the sTake tRaining meeting. I nearly fell over. Yep--goodies for the evening were double booked. Now, I had ordered 40 dozen cookies from Costco. That's 480 morsels. The high-councilor had ordered 100 dozen cookies. . .no exaggeration (what was he thinking?) That's 1200 cookies. Add them up and you get 1 butt load of baked goods. Needless to say, the 300 people that showed up for refreshments after the training each left with a full gallon of milk and their scripture totes full of cookies.

I am now the proud owner of 10 boxes of Costco cookies. . .thus my future in sales. After work today, I'm going down to the corner, putting on a green vest, and selling my goodies from the trunk of my Volkswagon. Watch out little girlscouts. There's a new girl on the corner and she means business!

p.s. Lori called me in a state of affairs this afternoon. The actual Girl Scouts were selling cookies in her neighborhood. I ordered a few for taste comparisons. . .too bad Kimmy and I are on a sugar freeze.
