Why did my girl scout cookies have to arrive right when I was trying to eat healthy and tone up for my Florida trip?! There was no way I could NOT eat them. Thankfully I only ordered 2 boxes but my goodness...I have no self control when it comes to samoas and tagalongs!! I have devoured half of each box in the last 2 days! I had 10 cookies for dinner! 10 cookies!! Anyway...moving on.
I went to visit my Grandma this evening and she isn't doing well. I was told today she probably has a week at most to live. I hadn't expected this to happen so soon, but in the back of my mind I had kind of been preparing myself for it. When I saw her today she was awake for maybe 3 minutes the entire hour I was there, and she wasn't able to answer simple questions I asked....her mind wasn't able to process what I was saying. When I left I started making a mental list of all my favorite memories with her because I know I won't have anymore moments with her again, and I'm scared 20 years from now I won't remember everything.
Heres a list of some of my very favorite Grandma moments: going to movies with Grandma, Marge, and all of the cousins, sleepovers at her house with Laurie, playing scrabble and bladerdash, her delicious goodie bags, Grandma taking me to Signal Hills on several occasions and buying me icecream cones (they gave away miniature trolls with icecream cones and of course I needed to collect all of the trolls), Sunday visits, and her amazingly wonderful bedtime stories. I am so thankful I was able to spend so much time with her.
Man this was a very random entry...girl scout cookies and Grandma Bunny...what on earth kind of title do I give this?

I totally hear you on the Girl Scout cookies. I just got them yesterday, but my lord they are tasty and tempting. And we bought like 7 boxes! What was I thinking?
I'm sorry about your grandma buddy, I will always remember her goody bags for us, she's such a sweet lady.
