One cookie at a time

I was watching MSNBC this morning and just happened to catch the story on the number one cookie seller for the Girl Scouts this year.

She sold over 17,000 boxes of cookies and earned her troop $21,000! Actually over $21,000 ... I wonder what they will do with the money? They could use it to pay for the upping of all the girls. They could use it to send every girl to summer camp. they could use it to buy camping gear for the troop (although I don't know what happens after the troop disolves).

Our problem is timing. If we could move the date for selling closer to when we sell corn it would be so much better for sells ... then we can get 100's of boxes sold. But corn time is Aug/sept and cookies are Jan/feb in our parts.

But i guess if the girls sold that much I would really have an issue because it is a real pain to sort all those cookies and make sure everyone has what they are supposed to.
