Gimme Strength! (or gimme cookies)

The cookies are here, lord help me. My daughter is a Girl Scout Cadette and was up at the crack of dawn (before dawn cracked actually) to help unload the truck at 6 am. She slept over at a friend/fellow Scout's, thank goodness! In any case, the cookies will be here, in my house, within hours.

I'd be fine, really, if these were all ordered by others, but they weren't. I ordered an entire case of Caramel Delites (Samoas), a half case of Peanut Butter Patties (Tagalongs) and a couple of boxes of Thin Mints. Just trying to do my part. I think I was assuming this weight loss thing would have bit the dust by this point as it does every year, so the cookies wouldn't have been a "problem."So here we have it, Nutritional Information for Girl Scout Cookies (per cookie, it's easier to take that way)
