It’s that time of year again! Yes, it’s girl scout cookie season! It seems like everywhere I turn there are tiny boxes of crappy cookies. That’s right, I said crappy. Come close and I’ll let you in on a little secret: girl scout cookies aren’t very good. I’ve known this for quite some time, but […]
