COOKIES!
The sun was setting, and the time to do or die was coming, however I hadn't known it would be tonight. I had been anxiously waiting for about a month when I put my order in; they had to be shipped here, and getting them through security is tough. I think they are actually transported in un-marked trucks.
My dealer approached me and gave me the nod. I forgot my wallet and clenched my teeth when I realized I wasn't ready for the deal. 'How could I be so stupid??' Then she said she'd credit me and I could drop the money in the mail. That was fishy I thought...I knew her 'collectors' would want interest and would probably break all of my bones in the alley after work. I borrowed some money quickly from my colleague and handed her the dough. We smiled, hugged and she set the brown paper bag next to me and turned to walk away.
"Wait, is that all? I mean, let me know if you have any left-over, I'll buy you out" I said trying not to sound the least bit desperate, however I was starting to sweat now that I realized I had only ordered 1,542 grams of the stuff (that's 7 boxes for those not familiar with deals like this). It wasn't enough to get me through March, let alone the rest of winter!
She smiled and replied in a chipper voice, "Sorry, we are all out, we sold all of our orders". And that was that. I was done. I had to make due with this....or find another hook-up.
My luck ran short, however I remember a few of the
dealers standing outside of
Jewel a week ago, I am hoping her gang will return to push sugar to hungry shoppers...after-all, this stuff only comes once a year and once they're gone,
they're gone.
To help those without the hook-up, you can
find a member of the Girls Scouts here. Have cash ready though, and order more than you think you need. Last thing you want is to detox in Chicago's winter while
breaking-into your friend's freezer for Thin Mints...seriously,
not a fun road.
Signed,
"I'll buy you out!"
