It took me about 7 texts to effectively tell the hubby I liked "Samoas" on account of they were Samoas and then they changed to Caramel Delights and now they are Samoas again. I figured the torture to my thumbs was worth it if it meant the Hubs would order some Samoas for me. For the two nights following our texting exchange, I have dreamt of nothing but a barn-load of Samoas with maybe some Thin Mints and Tagalongs thrown in.Tonight, however, my Girl Scout cookie dreams came tumbling down around me.
After dinner, I asked the Hubs: "So, when will the Girl Scout cookies be in?"
Answer: "What are you talking about? I didn't get Girl Scout cookies."
Hmm.
Me: "Yes, Honey. Yes, you did. You texted me two days ago asking about my favorite kind. Remember? Samoas."
Answer: "No. I was just talking to someone at work about them and was trying to remember what kind I like."
[insert crazy pregnancy eyes here, also include the inevitable huffing and puffing that accompanies any pregnancy freak out]
Me: "WHAT?!?!?? YOU DIDN'T ORDER ANY EVEN THOUGH I TEXTED YOU 7 TIMES TO TELL YOU WHICH KIND I WANTED?!?!? ARE YOU NUTS-O?!? YOU HAVE TO GET ME SOME GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! LIKE 5 TO 19 BOXES! I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF THEM FOR DAYS! WHAT THE WHAT?!?! HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THEM AND NOT GET THEM?!?!?! WHO ARE YOU?!?!??!?!?!?"
Answer: "Whoa. They sell them outside the grocery store a few blocks away. We'll just get them there."
Breathe deeply.
Me: "Oh. Oh, OK. Yeah. I guess they do. Or Wal-Mart. Hmm. But I want like, 5 to 19 boxes."
[insert the Hubs' skeptical "could you bottle up your crazy long enough to at least quote a reasonable amount of boxes" face here]
Me: "No, really. 5 to 19."
This episode of Crazy Pregnancy Lady brought to you by an ex-Brownie Girl Scout who deeply regrets not stock piling a cargo hold full of Samoas back in the day when she had the chance.
Tune in next week for Crazy Pregnancy Lady goes boo-coo when the Valentine's Day chocolate strawberries run out... or worse, never show up in her fridge in the first place.
Ok. I think you totally need to edit this now. I think you know why :).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I pity da fo' who doesn't bring you strawberries. maybe i should text him. heh.
I am waiting patiently for my Thin Mints. I love Girl Scout cookies, however, my waist and thighs do not. At least you can use pregnacy as an excuse...I'll have to think of something. Oh and I found out there is this website: www.girlscoutcookies.org where you can "meet the cookies" and sign up to be notified by a girl scout in your area that you want cookies. MMmm.
