Where are mine?

About a month ago, I had a sweet little girl scout come to my door. Dream come true! That hasn't happened to me since I was a teenager living with my parents. And it certainly didn't happen living in an apartment complex in Boston. But I guess with every respectable neighborhood of homes comes a respectable girl scout. And believe me, she was successful at my house. Probably because that little baby growing inside of me made EVERYTHING sound disgusting to eat EXCEPT for her solicited cookies. So, yes, I ordered 7 boxes from her. She said she'd bring them at the end of February. No sign of her yet. But still, my craving lingers and lingers... Where are those cookies?

Those cookies aren't cheap anymore either! They're delicious, and you've been waiting so long...I totally feel for you! Oh, congrats on the new pregnancy!

Robyn writes: YOU'RE PREGNANT! Congratulations! I love Fillmores, I'm glad there will be more of you! Everyone at my last rotation had all these girl scout cookies lately, and I was feeling very sad that I missed the ordering part and was only there for the delivery part. Sigh.

So glad I checked yours today though. Hope you've gotten your cookies by now and the thin mints are settling that stomach of yours. I doubt there's anything better than thin mints. Baby better like it! Congrats again. Another Fillmore in the world is good news!

Tracy Phillips writes: Congrats on the developing new Fillmore! How exciting! And the only thing I've found that makes me as happy as Girl Scout cookies is Girl Scout cookie ice cream! We are moving to Brooklyn in June where Matt will do an endo residency and I will study more piano. Not sure our brains work like they used to (blame it on the kids!) but we're up for a new adventure. I hope the residents there don't do the male hair-bonding thing - that is too funny!
