Random Thoughts and Comments

I have been slacking in my writing to this blog. I am very sorry. I know I don't have a lot of readers out there but for the few I do have I should really be posting here more regularly. There will be no rhyme or reason to this post so please bare with me.

We did our toiletry drive at the end of November. I got a ton of stuff. I need to remember to bring it to our meeting tomorrow night and take pictures. The girls still need to decide who to donate it to. We have enough that maybe they should choose several locations.

My co-events chair and I have decided that the girls are not ready to plan a huge event like the camporee. I told my daughter that yesterday and she agrees. She said that we should start with something smaller.

I stepped outside my comfort zone on Monday. One of the people in charge of the cookie rally said that they would be purchasing pizza from Round Table. What! Are you crazy! That is way too much money. And frankly the girls done care if the pizza is from Round Table or Little Caesar's. So I jumped on the phone and made a call. "Hi I am Sandi from Girl Scouts and we need to feed 60 hungry girls this Friday night at our cookie rally. Yes, it's cookie time again. So how many pizzas would I need and what can we do about the price." It is really difficult for me to ask for a discount. I don't know why it is just is. But I did it. Yeah for me!

We are finishing up two IPAs this month! From Fitness to Fashion, and Disability Awareness. I am just loving this year. Each girl chose a IPA and they are in charge of deciding what and when to do. I just sit back and watch, LOL. I reserve about 15 minutes at each meeting for business. Up coming events, voting on things, etc. But that's about it.

Tomorrow the girls are going to register for Program Aide Training (an on going thing), and also register for PA for Spring Encampment. *sigh* this means attending additional planning meetings. I have also volunteered to be THE Cook for Spring Encampment. I will probably end up being the cook for PA Training.

On the 16th of this month we will be attending a Murder Mystery Dinner. It sounds like a lot of fun. I have never attended one so it should be interesting.

I have more but I will share it later in the week. I think I have droned on long enough for now.
