E is for Energy

I need to borrow a cup.

Or maybe two.

Because I am over-whelmed with boxes.

Boxes full of Girl Scout cookies that need to be sorted and packed to ship to friends who bought them from our sweet Granddaughter... The girl sold 178 boxes of cookies and she was STILL in third place in her Brownie troup.

Boxes filled with cookbooks that need to be sent out...
...and what I really want to do is sit for the rest of the morning and E njoy all the E ngaging and E ntracing and E ntertaining E posts!

So maybe what I really need today is E nergy AND a few E xtra hours in the day!

  1. Oh, how I love Tagalongs. I don't know any Girl Scouts anymore. That's okay because I couldn't control myself if I did LOL.

  2. No girl scouts ever come around our neighborhood anymore. It's been a long time since I've had thin mint cookies! Wishing you energy for your task ahead.

  5. Amen, I do second that. I arrived in Georgia yesterday even...did get upgraded to first class on my flight so, after two bloody marys and a nice breakfast, I slept all the way to Atlanta, then did a two hour shuttle to Columbus.

    Seeing my mother's deterioration in three months was overwhelming. She didn't know me and I'm not sure she does yet. Her speech is unintelligible, sentences are jumbled and she makes no senses to me. Once in awhile something clear comes out. She isn't eating or drinking. Meals on wheels meals go untouched. We see the doctor tomorrow. I think she's had a stroke though she seems to have no mobility loss only speech difficulties.

    I hope I can get her into assisted living before I leave Mar 10th.

  8. I bought from 2 girl scouts this year. I'm still waiting on my half a case of thin mints!

    Oh, and if you find any energy could you send some my way. I am whipped but good! Even after sleeping 15 hours!

  9. Isn't it amazing how you are packing the cookies? What about that little girl scout and her parents? I'd hand that job off!

    I'm actually taking a day to catch up. I'm reading blogs and more blogs, I've written a couple blog posts (how dare there be 2 parties on 1 day tomorrow) and I may even read a real book before this day is over!

  10. Posted "E is for Eleuthera" but, of course, again I did the Mclinky wrong so no one will be able to read it. Please send me the way I should do it - the whole format...I've tried every which way and I just don't get it. No sense in my wasting time on this Alpha-Be series, though it's wonderful, if I have to keep hassling you to post it for me.

  11. This should be an 'O' post for overwhelming! Oy! Good luck!

  25. Now I'm going to have to go out and track down some girl scout cookies. I think they set up in front of the Walmart. I love thin mints and can eat a whole box by myself.
    Now, doing that will give you some energy!!

  26. I love the Girl Scout mint cookies, but only one brownie/girl scout came to our house and my husband answered the door and got to pick. I don't even know if we'll be getting any mint cookies this year. Good luck with all the packing.

    My granddaughter isn't in Girl Scouts this year, so we haven't got any cookies yet. I'm sure they will be set up in front of the stores though, so I'll get some then.

  32. I hope you got a little bit of that energy. Would you believe it if I told you we haven't had any little girl scouts ring our doorbell. Hopefully we will see some out and about. We always need our Girl Scout cookie fix...the year wouldn't seem right without it.

  40. Love Girl Scout cookies. The original peanut butter and thin mints same as I sold when I was a Girl Scout. You have enough energy to share, I think I could have used a little of it today.

    ReplyDelete

  45. That is the sole reason I'm glad neither of my girls are scouts anymore. Oy, separating all those cookies, then getting them to the right houses. Oh, blech!

  46. Geez Gramma, If you really wanted her to win, you'd have set her up to sell on your blog.

    You need a personal assistant. Maybe an intern. They work for free........

    Good E post - Exhausting!

    ReplyDelete
  47. OH NO! Say it's not Girl Scout Cookie time again! Eeeeeeeeeek! ,-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. No one came around to ask us to buy girlscout cookies this year... not even at my husbands work. OUr friends kids must all be growing up and out of the program. I guess next year we will have to go find them when they set up their table at the local store.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh, I do love me some girl scout cookies, but I'll take the energy those sweet little scouts have any day! Oh, who am I kidding? Give me the cookies.

  52. Hello again Jenny,
    I've made an extra post for you. If you would like to order earrings that suit your eight year olds, I can make something that is with a screwback finding or a clip.
    I do not approve of piercing the ears of children. I do not have pierced ears myself!!
    But there is a market for earrings with ear wires and posts so I do both kinds.
    Please visit me again (when you get the time) at:

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!
