When I was home for the holidays, I noticed that I had little to no cell reception at mom and diddy’s home. They do live in what could be considered the ‘middle of nowhere’ and even they have hit and miss reception with their provider in the ‘boonies’. If we want to get them at home- we always have to call the house. I’m wondering if cell signal boosters would actually help their signal while at home? It would give them the opportunity to have their phones with them while working in the yard without actually having to miss important calls. It’s definitely worth doing the research, especially if it will make mom and diddy more accessable when they are out in the ‘back 40’.

My brother and I were talking the other night and he told me that he’d stopped buying Girl Scout cookies. This little tidbit of information came after I told him that I’d bought my first five boxes in probably 15 years. He said that he knew better, since you can’t eat ‘just one’, so he stopped buying them all together.
I figured since it had been so long that it wouldn’t be a big deal for me. That was my frist mistake. In two days we’ve eaten two boxes in this household. I gave one box away, so that leaves two boxes. I’d love to be able to say that Marcel has been the one eating most of them, but I’d be lying- It’s me.
I have to agree that those Girl Scouts put something in those cookies to make us want more- more- more. As delicious as they are- I don’t think I’ll be buying any more.

After the Chinese food, Girl Scout cookie dinner that I just had- it won’t surprise me one bit if I end up with blackheads on nose as a part of the punishment of my choices. I know- it sounds a little over the top, or maybe even silly, but the truth of the matter is- I’ve had one of those days that I want to eat everything but the kitchen sink.
Thankfully- I can now say the kitchen is CLOSED, so I will keep out and hopefully not consume another calorie between now and tomorrow. I almost liked having vertigo better- At least then I didn’t want to eat.
