Reminder: Girl Scout cookie orders TODAY

If you'd like to order Girl Scout cookies, please leave a comment on this entry by noon today. The money raised by cookie sales will help Delia's troop take a trip to Washington DC. Cost is $3.50 a box.

I'd only thought of doing cookie sales locally, but johnridley said he'd send a PayPal payment to buy some boxes, so that they could be donated to a food shelf. I think that's a brilliant idea (Thanks, John!). Why not support Delia's troop AND make your contribution for decreasing worldsuck for the day? Any other takers? If so, ( here's what you do )

Delia appreciates your support!
