WIAW #29 – Girl Scout Cookies for ME?

Boy do I wish I had some Girl Scout Cookies around. Ok, maybe not because they would serve as a constant distraction and I would end up consuming the entire box, but one can dream, right? I was totally a Girl Scout from kindergarten until senior year and even worked to receive my Gold Award.  No worries, I did receive it, I just had to emphasize that we actually worked for it and it wasn’t delivered on a silver platter as some people believe.

Final Parent’s Weekend Recap

Well, four years has seemed to fly by.  Correction – now that I am a senior and have 13 or so weeks left to go, it seems like my time here has been so short.
