Writer’s Workshop – What I hate about you
I’m going with Prompt #1.
10 Reasons why you’re better off without him….or her….or it.
- You don’t love me the way that I love you.
- You’re empty inside.
- The good moments we spend together are fleeting at best.
- You look good on the outside, but looks are deceiving.
- You take more than you give.
- You’re never around. You think once a year you can sweep me off my feet, but I require more than that.
- I can’t afford you! Good grief, you burn through my money in the blink of an eye.
- After we’re together, I feel bad about myself.
- You don’t care about making me feel bad, either. You just sit there and mock me, relentlessly.
- You’re not loyal. You cozy up with women all over the place and I’m supposed to just take it.
Wow. I was planning on writing about someone something else entirely, but when I got going something else entirely just poured out. I’m guessing some of you can relate.

Die, Girl Scout Cookies.
I need you dead and gone.
I literally ate 3 thin mints while on the treadmill today.
My judgement has been compromised.
And I am ‘supposedly’ training for a half-marathon and participating in not one, but two fitness challenges as well.
Not. Looking. Good.
But my frozen Samoas only come around once a year, so how can I say no to that?
Clearly, I cannot.
And this, my friends, is the tale of why I will never again wear a 2-piece bathing suit. Because I have the willpower of a…dang. What’s the rest of that sentence? A person with no willpower?
I’ll have to have a cookie while I think about that for a minute.

I love this post!!! I could write the same thing about Girl Scout cookies. My poison of choice is the Lemonade cookies and the thin mints… they get me every time.

It has been YEARS since I’ve had a girl scout cookie, but that’s only because I had no dealer. I found other sugary vices, don’t you worry. My favorite is when I’m grilling chicken and veggies for dinner, but I’m so hungry that I snack on a bag of chocolate chips. Does. Not. Compute.

I did this same prompt and I was so going to do some sort of food, but went a different direction. Great job! Girl Scout cookies are deliciously evil! I am subscribing to your feed…because I never check my networked blogs.

loved this! it’s the samoas, it’s always been the samoas. even when they were caramel delights. though i always get two boxes of thin mints as well. just because. thank goodness it’s only once a year. of course there seems to be something equally as bad that comes around just once a year…all.year.long.

Eating thin mints on the treadmill just seems like a naturally good idea to me. Brilliant, if I do say so.
And that picture? The two most perfect cookies in the world. My husband eats frozen Samoas, too. I don’t get that. The caramel is too hard.
This post was SO cute, Heather

Heather,
This morning I had a package arrive. Girl scout cookies…all eight boxes I ordered from two girls at work from their kiddos. Today was a big day for me and thank god I had girl scout cookies by my side (actually under my desk). Another good thing about today, is I was sooo busy I didn’t open the box or I would have probably ate atleast half! Your faves are my faves too!
