I like where you decribe looking in the corners, sweeping out crumbs. Very nice.

Love the part about Annabelle feeling special! What a sweet moment that must have been.

And the girls gelato afternoon sounds delightful. Nicely done.

WTF is there to say about cookies for 90 minutes? Were you going to actually bake the cookies?

I think you chose wisely.

Here’s what you probably missed at the meeting…
1. Take orders
2. Collect money
3. Deliver cookies

Oh and probably something about not sending your kids out alone to be molested in the name of fundraising. Just guessing. Will I be skipping the adults only Girl Scout meeting too? You bet your badge.

This is Joyce. Love it!!!! For years I was the one conducting those awful cookie meetings, until one day I woke up and said there has to be more to life than GS cookies…and I quit.

The tender sister story is so sweet. May that feeling continue for a lifetime.

Amy: Your posts have been just perfect lately. There are some sentences that I reread several times because they are so wonderful. Example:
[“DID YOU JUST CALL ME STUPID?” I asked in a quiet but all-caps kind of voice.] “All-caps kind of voice.” You captured it!!!

And then I wonder if you are spying on me because we are thinking the very same things. I just listed my resolutions and one of them includes being a better mom, wife, sister, sister-in-law, daughter and friend.

I love your blog. Makes me feel better about my fractured life.
