HOW MANY BOXES OF COOKIES? *hyperventilates*

Dearest Tai, I truly hope you like these cookies, cos I have 2 wine cases full of them (yes, wine cases. That's what I automatically assumed they were. I AM FRENCH, remember? I buy wine by the case more often than cookies. So there.)

Anyone else interested? I'm not selling them, mind you, I'm just trying to find people who like to eat them, and I'll be happy to send them off. Cos I can't handle that many cookies, even if they "last forever", so I was told. COS I'LL GET MORE NEXT YEAR! So they need to get eaten somehow. Ahem.

In other news, today was Halloween Party at the Sparks, and Tadpole managed to gatecrash, first by stomping her foot and making it known that she really wanted to wear her costume too; then by just standing there and looking so utterly miserable, and sniffling so sadly against my shoulder, that they actually asked her if she wanted to join in (which she did, with a very satisfied smile. From then on she ignored me altogether, the sly little beast.)

And I forgot Froglet's library book today.

Froglet: Mom?
rainette: Yes, Froglet?
Froglet *accusing tone*: You forgot my library book today.
rainette: Woops. Sorry.
Froglet: ...
rainette: ...
Froglet *frowning*: Mom?
rainette: Yes, Froglet?
Froglet *concerned voice*: Do you have a memory?
rainette: !

Yes, but right now it is filled with junk. Like, what am I to do with 48 BOXES OF CHOCOLATE-MINT COOKIES?

Wah.

Oh, yes. Girl guides choco-mint cookies, if you know them. It appears they have pride and will not fundraise with crappy cookies *g*. Want some? *tempts*

What cookies are these? And how on earth did you end up with 2 wine cases full?

And now I want a Cookie Monster icon.

Well, that's because Froglet is a Spark (girl guide) and they have monstrous cookie fundraisers (cos we're not supposed to eat them, we're supposed to sell them). Choco-mint cookies this time, and they're actually really good.

I want a cookie-monster icon, too.

WAH! NOT THE KICKED PUPPY EYES!!! *g*

You're on, but I hope you're patient, cos I might have to send them per boat (airmail will be too expensive, as in, three times the price of the cookie box!!!)

Chocolate *mint* cookies? Where do you buy such wonderous things?

Why do you have so many anyways?

From: [identity profile] la-rainette.livejournal.com
:D You buy them from your local girl guides, who are very happy to get rid of them cos it's their fundraiser. Froglet is a spark (girl guide), she LOVES it, so we get cookie boxes to sell for the fundraising (wah). The cookies are good, it's the selling part that doesn't agree with me much.

Do you want one? They're nice, a little After Eight-ish in style.

I would love one, but I suspect I am the wrong side of the Atlantic for cookie transportation purposes. :(

I wish our Girl Guides sold cookies. We never did anything that fun when i was one. Not surprised she loves it though, I adored it. The real time I was in the States we visited a Girl Guide troupe and I got free badges and other cool stuff. It was so fun XD

No, no, s'ok, I'm going to send some to England anyway, so I'll be glad to send you a box too. Just email me your address and please be very patient, cos they'll take a lot of time to arrive...

Do you buy all the cookies yourself to keep from having to sell them? That's great.
And if you are still getting rid of cookies, I'd love a box.

maybe not all of them, cos there will be a collective sale organized by the Sparks group. But quite a few, yes. :D

I'll send you one, of course!

I've done the "cut/paste buffer meme" on Sam's LJ, and came up with the link to the ANTEATER SITE! *g* I was very amused.

I would love as many boxes of cookies as you can/want to send me. I'm doing hardcore exams and very sad and in need of cookies.

*grins charmingly*

::is still catching up on old lj entries::

Are you seriously mailing cookies around the globe? o.O

From: [identity profile] la-rainette.livejournal.com
Yes, I am, although the enthusiastic reply to my offer sawmped me a little, so it's going to take some time. :D But yes, I am. Would you like a box? They are yummy (choc-mint girl-guide cookies)

Email me your address, and please be patient :D and you'll get a box too.
