Flippant Friend Friday: Things I Can't Say

Today I'm hanging over at the sweet and sassy Shell's Things I Can't Say.  You all have been by her blog, I know, whether it's for her heartfelt Pour Your Heart Out Wednesdays or some of her uber popular and fun memes such as Rockin the Bump.  And if you haven't been by, you need to go there right now.


Things I probably shouldn't say (or write): I hate children's birthday parties. Being trapped in a melee of screaming kids running around with pinata bats or priate swords while on a massive sugar-high is bad enough. But having to host my own beloved Kiddo's party nearly gives me a panic attack.

Make sure you head over to Things I Can't Say to read all about how I am Martha Stewart's worst nightmare. Maybe you can relate. Or maybe you really are the hostess with the mostess and thrive in a throng of kids. Chime in on the conversation.

Now, as a little sidebar, I have to share a MAJOR DISCOVERY that may change your world.

Aldi sells their own version of Girl Scout Cookies.

{GASP!}

You no longer have to wait for the cookie booths to appear in the spring or your coworker to hit you up at work to buy some of her daughter's cookies. You can get them anytime.  Well, at least a generic version of Thin Mints and Samoas (or Caramel Delights, depending on where you live).

This is NOT going to be good for my waistline. Or hips. Or self-control.

I'll admit...I haven't tested them out yet...I'm afraid once I take a bite I'll go back and buy a case. But I do feel it is my responsibility to let you know if they are any good, so I'll keep you updated.
