I bought a box of Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mints the other day, and opened it up to enjoy the delectable taste today. MMMMMMMMM, I couldn’t wait for the melty, minty chocolaty smooth taste of the cookie confection.

I didn’t get any of them last year, so this was a real treat! As I was buying them, the woman mentioned, “Yes, and this year there are no trans-fats in the Thin Mints!” I knew what that meant, they were healthier, and there was no way that my ONCE A YEAR treat was going to taste as good. But, I went into insta-denial. “No,” I assured myself, “they will taste the same!”

Well, fuck, guess what? They do not taste the same. Thank you Nutrition Nuts! You good time, once a year, ’ people can take care of themselves’ nihilists! Thank you for being so concerned with My fat intake that you ruin a once a year treat for me, and millions of others. Who are these people anyway? Who take taste right out of my mouth? I want my trans fats back Thin Mints officially suck, and I will never be buying another box.

Kicks the box across the street and takes a homemade batch of Chocolate Chip cookies out of the oven

I was beading this morning, and I dropped my needle on my chair. No big whoop, I reached to carefully get it, and it was gone….fallen on the floor. UGH! I will leave a bead there, but not a needle. I work in bare feet, and I have a cat. Don’t want any pierced paws on either species!
I MUST find that needle!! I work with size 16 needles. VERY FINE. As thin as this dash – really! I held it up to the monitor!

I got down on all fours, and carefully started looking for it, on light carpeting. I put my cheek on right down on the carpet to find this thing! No needle. I grabbed one of my magnetic clasps and started running my hands and it lightly over the floor. No needle. I have NEVER had this much trouble! Sigh. I got out the vacuum cleaner, and managed to dig out a nylon ped from the bowels of my closet, and a rubber band from the junk drawer. Bam! Instant vacuum filter! To no avail unfortunately. I vacuumed ALL Around the area, the chair, my jeans and shirt, nothing but beige carpet fibers and dirt. Would Grissom be proud? I wasn’t! NO NEEDLE!! I even put the magnetic clasp in the filter for 2 kinds of sucking power!

I took a break. There was no needle to be found, I figured there was a a slim chance the needle had gone straight (up and down) through the nylon, and had to contemplate whether I really wanted to do surgery on the ultra dusty bag or not.

I looked down. I carefully unrolled my pants cuff. Yup, there it was! The elusive needle. Whew! I smiled and continued on with my necklace.
