I Was Inspired

This morning I was inspired.

Yes, me!

I was invited by our auditors to attend a breakfast, including free coffee. I mean really –

Free Coffee?? I’m. So. In. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this wasn’t some small kvetchy klub, though. Nope, I was a guest at their table for the 19th Annual Leading Women Award Breakfast hosted by the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.

The overall message that these girls learn is how important it is to respect themselves and others. To be involved. To serve. Young brave girls took the stage to introduce incredible women who themselves were girl scouts as wee lasses. Today, they are CEOs and Law Partners and Presidents of colleges and basically kicking ass, one day at a time.

They shared this video, which almost made me cry. And made me wish I had a girl to mentor.

So I thought I’d share with you – those of you with girls in your family or girls around you.





Swear to God, I’m not a sponsor of the organization or anything, I was just truly moved today and couldn’t keep it in.

Also? I won the centerpiece thingy. All Au Bon Pain products. There’s ground coffee, a reusable coffee mug, chocolate covered pretzels, cookie thingies, chocolate candies and a bag with nuts and stuff.

Since I’m on a diet, I can’t have it near me much longer. And since I don’t want to just put it out for my ungracious co-workers, I want to give it to one of you. How Nice Am I???? I’m nice. I know, you can stop saying it already. *



So comment away – no rules, other than you MUST leave an e-mail address. I’ll pick a winner on Friday. No wait, Thursday night, and I’ll post the winner on Friday. There.

*thin mints not included. Those bitches are MINE.

On my honor I will try to pledge God, my country, and mankind. And to live by the Girl Scout law.

At least I've never been arrested. Thanks Juliette Lowe.

BEST part of being a camp counselor to young girls: watching them live with their efforts. Imagine a poorly erected tent in a rainstorm.

I didn't let them whine too long, I promise!

Can I have the basket now?

I'm not really entering because I have a phobia of saying 'Au Bon Pain' or "Le Pain Quitodien' for fear of public ridicule. if I won, imagine how much I'd have to say it. Beads of sweat are forming already....

Clearly I slacked today on my commenting. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to win. I had a cranky teething toddler to deal with. Who woke me up at 5am. After finally going to bed at midnight.

Soooooooo gimme.

Oh and I'm still going to make those crackers. Why? Because I can. I think. Hey, worst thing that could go down is me setting the kitchen on fire. Or sending the hubby into projectile vomit mode from crappy crackers. Possibilities of me screwing up are endless.

So to save husband from possible cracker poisoning, give me the basket.

It puts the basket in the mail and sends it to Zany it does...

The husband was watching Silence of the Lambs last night after he got home. Hence the reference. I would have had a nightmare if I had actually slept long enough.

Speaking of the warden, he should be home any minute. I'm making potstickers tonight and tried my hand at a sesame dipping sauce. I'm also making brown rice and edamame.

Btw, the warden wasn't too crazy about the chili I made tonight. Ended up to be more like a veggie soup. Pity me yet?

The husband is leaving on yet another trip in a few days. While I'm stuck at home with a non-operating jalopy. And a teething toddler. Who is getting her molars. And who jumped on my back really hard this morning. I heard something pop.

Gimme.

I spoke to my cousin in Irish the other day (he lives in Ireland) and when I tried to reply, apparently I said something about a moldy toe and a grasshopper. I think I need to brush up on the language again.

Which, btw, is incredibly difficult. Nothing is pronounced how it's spelled.

I've always liked Brazilian Portuguese. I speak a little of that. And ASL. And Spanish. And now a little French. At some point I should just stick to one and master it, don't you think?

But English? No can do.

Oh and I am a master speaker of Pig Latin.

Immy gay. Ight ray ow nay.

I'm dying to see the new Harry Potter movie coming out soon. I can't remember the last time I even went to the movies.

I'm going to have to do some major buttering up of the warden if I want to go. At first I thought it would be a fun date night. And now I know it would. So I'm going. Hell or high water. Just me, myself and I. And I'm getting the large popcorn.

Know what would go great with popcorn? Chocolate. Uh huh. Sure would.

Gimme.

So dinner was going great until I discovered a worm inside an edamame pod. Oh and would you like to HOW I found out? It was in...my mouth.

I'm trying not to hurl.

Know how I sold so many? We'd go to The Warehouse on nights before they would release concert tickets. All the stoners in the line camping out overnight always bought a ton. My dad came up with that idea. Smart guy.
