Today I read proof that for whatever gains the country's economy has made, the recession isn't quite over.
The Girl Scouts of America has announced that the price of their cookies will be going up to $4.00 a box.
I'm sure I'll buy just as many cookies as I have in years past.
It's important to do our bit to stimulate the economy. It's important to support programs such as Girl Scouts of America, who this year is celebrating 100 years of helping build girls of strong courage, confidence and character. It's vital that such programs exist, empowering girls through enriching experiences, community service, cultural exchanges and environmental stewardships. It's an American Institution. It's a pivotal part of women's history. And yes, I did steal - um, borrow - these phrases from their official website. But I totally agree anyway.
Plus the cookies are yummy.
Not to mention the fact I for one have absolutely no resistance to cute little kids ambushing me the second I step outside a grocery store. All attempts to avoid eye contact with them have proven futile. They're worse than the Borg.
Love this...and yes, I will buy as many cookies as I did last year. I just hope I'm smarter about how many of them I eat at one sitting! Good to know that what I am really doing is stimulating the economy!
