I'm starting to believe that Girl Scouts can sense a pregnant woman the way that dogs can sense fear in others.
First, let me say that Girl Scout cookies are a weakness. They always have been. Especially the Caramel Delights/Samoas. Since I don't know any Girl Scouts, I decided that I would buy 4 boxes off of eBay.
No sooner do I do this, a few days later I come across a Girl Scout cookie stand at Wal-Mart. So I buy 2 boxes. My eBay cookies arrive yesterday, and what happens? Two cheery little Girl Scouts come knocking on my door to sell me some cookies.
Before yesterday, I'd never in my life had a Girl Scout come to my door to sell cookies. It's like they knew that I was easy prey. Because hey, who am I to say no to little girls selling cookies, even if I do already have 6 boxes staring me in the face?!?
So I bought 4 more boxes. Because this is the one time in my life when I can eat them without too much guilt. So there!

Pray tell how much Girl Scout cookies cost on eBay? What about shipping?
They were $3.50 a box (which is what they cost normally), plus $10.00 for shipping. So basically, I paid $6.00 a box. That's what happens when you are pregnant and think you might be desperate! ;)
Kurt PROMISED to get some Girl Scout cookies (are they made with real Girl Scouts??) from whoever was selling them on the ship!!! But I don't think he's gotten any yet!! wahhhh!!! :o) I love Samoas. Have you had the Edy's Samoa ice cream?!?!?! *drool*
Btw, thank you for your kind comments on my site. I do feel like a single mom in limbo -- you hit the nail right on the head. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot that can be done. Kurt tried to get transferred to another ship in the area, but his current ship won't let him go. That's the problem with him -- he's too good at his job!! Things would be better if we lived nearer to the base, but it's too late now to sell the house and move if we're going to be transferred next summer (2007). He does know how I feel, but like I said, he can't do anything about it realistically. But thanks again. :o)
Maybe when you are done with all 10 boxes, you won't be able to eat them anymore. Sadly, that's what happened to me with the Thin Mints. I used to be able to eat a box in two days, but now, when I buy them they sit in my freezer until the next year, when I replace them with a new box.
I'm glad I kicked my Thin Mint addiction. I was like a crack head before.
That's what I'm hoping, Christine! The good thing is that I'm not the only one in the house eating them. Stephen is addicted too, which means he'll eat most of them!
C- I did the same thing with the Thin Mints. I blame my dad, though. He used to buy them by the case. I ate the hell out of them.
A- I'm afraid you almost have a case of Samoas yourself. You're going to eat yourself silly. I think you should have mixed it up a little bit and got a few boxes of something different. There's always as Karyl said, the delicious ice cream which you can usually buy year round. Next time try the chocolate chip kind (can't think of the name), they're very good!
Hmm... I know a certain south Floridian who'd be happy to help you with your crisis. *wink* You have her address..... *double wink*
M - who said anything about a crisis?!? You should be ashamed of yourself, trying to coerce a pregnant lady out of her Samoas!!!! ;) Ha ha.
Pregnant or not... this girl has no shame in trying to con you out of some damned delicious Girl Scout Cookies!!
thththththth!!!

Good luck wtth that!!! LOL!!!
haha. I have a weakness for the cookies too. I never thought to look for them on ebay, but I guess they really do sell everything! Good thing I didn't know about that. :o)
