I love cookies as much as the next gal, but Grimmy- he loves them so much that I'm naming him an honorary Green Neck!

I will periodically update this site with new cartoons and Green Neckisms. Never Fear!

You will buy cookies from anyone who asks...and you already bought 50 boxes from your daughter!

You still think of craft ideas for your troop...and your daughter just graduated college!

You have been saving empty film canisters for 2 years because the troop could use them for a craft.

You already found 22 craft ideas with film canisters!

You spend so much time volunteering for the girls that your husband has reported you missing.

You are on a diet but buy 3 cases of Thin Mints from the little girl down the street just to "support the troop".

Your family eats fast food three or more days a week due to your hectic G.S. schedule.

You have green blood... It's not just for Vulcans anymore!

You are so busy trying to do everything that you drafted your husband into being cookie mom.

Your son knows all the words to every Girl Scout song... not that he'd admit it to his friends!

Not done editing yet!

Green Neck Woman words by Kelly
(tune: Redneck Woman, by Gretchen Wilson)

Well, I’ve always been the Girl Scout type
No, I can't stop volunteering, I like singin’ songs all night
’Round a fire, making s’mores til the sun is low
I've got posters on my wall of Juliette Gordon Low
Some people look up to me, I'm a role model to them
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard makin’ s’mores with them

'cause I'm a green neck woman
Follow the Girl Scout law
I'm just a product of my raising
I say, 'Be Prepared' an’ the Girl Scout Law
And I keep my word of honor
Every day the whole year long
And I know all the words to every campfire song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it scouty
Let me get a big 'Be Prepared' from the green neck girls like me, oh yeah

My scout leader taught me to be real nice
She stocks up on craft supplies on a Wal-Mart shelf half price
And still be scouty, just as scouty as Juliette would be
I need my daily cookie fix to keep me all scouty
Well, you might think I buy too much from the council store
But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door

I'm a green neck woman
Follow the Girl Scout law
I'm just a product of my raising
I say, 'Be Prepared' an’ the Girl Scout Law
And I keep my word of honor
Every day the whole year long
And I know all the words to every Girl Scout song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it scouty
Let me get a big 'Be Prepared' from the green neck girls like me, oh yeah

I'm a green neck woman
Follow the Girl Scout law
I'm just a product of my raising
I say, 'Be Prepared' an’ the Girl Scout Law
And I keep my word of honor
Every day the whole year long
And I know all the words to every single silly song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it scouty
Let me get a big 'Be Prepared' from the green neck girls like me, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah
I said oh yeah!

	You can't find last year's tax return but you know exactly where the instructions are for the Christmas angel craft.
	You can't say no when an event needs planning
	People stop you at the market to ask how to join Girl Scouting/Guiding
	You always say, "Of course we have room for one more girl
	You never throw out ANYTHING without first thinking 'Could the troop use this in some way?'

	The majority of your wardrobe consists of GS t-shirts
	You own handbooks for older levels that you haven't reached yet
	You still have every piece of paper relating to GS that's crossed your threshold
	Your kids have posted your name to a milk carton as missing [when you're actually at GS events.]

You've gained more than 5 pounds during cookie time.

	You make campfire foods at home and serve them to your family to try out new recipes
	You take paper out of the recycling bin at your office because you know the scouts can use it for their next project
	You buy bizarre craft items at craft stores if they're on sale because you're sure that someday you'll use them
	Any of your kid's old crayons, scissors, glue that they're ready to throw out goes into the 'bucket' for the troop
	Your garage looks like a camp store
	At least one room in your house ALWAYS has some kind of Girl Scout paperwork strewn all over it
	You ask every place you visit if they do anything special for Girl Scouts for tours

	You know at least 3 other adult members/leaders phone numbers for memory
	You buy things because they are 'girl scout' colors
	You have a recurring nightmare that your awards ceremony is coming up, and you have a pile of patches and badges and no clue who earned them
	Your husband registers as an adult member so he can see you now and then
	And my own personal favorite (which I did): You buy office furniture for your home to file, store, and organize all your scouting "stuff"!
	People stop you at work to buy cookies...in July...and you HAVE some.
	You introduce your daughters by program level.
	You buy a pair of slacks or socks because they match the color of your uniform.
