I didn't begin collecting boys- I mean patches out of sport, the collection became a kind of coping method because there really are that many.... we'll say peculiar people out there not suitable for a relationship. Or maybe just not suitable for me.To add to the 19 or so patches from yesterday's Girl Scout testimonial..... I have a few patches from those far away. But distance made for one more reason why they wouldn’t stay. Have two patches from guys I met on the beach. Wind in your hair and sand in your clothes was sure a fun thrill… but all two quickly was washed away with the waves. Have a patch from the guy I met at a wedding who “got locked out of his hotel room.” Now Old Dominion’s “Hotel Key” has a new meaning to me. "She kept the hotel key-- slipped it in her purse I guess. It makes her think of me and the night we had..." Have a few patches from guys with a boat. Some incentives aren’t enough to mask one’s attitude; their class went down with the Titantic. I aspired for a patch with similar morals, but instead earned more than one patch from a guy that used religion against me. I collected three patches from guys who went to church with me but but refused to convert from “singleism.” I collected five patches from guys with unique names like Diamond, Kelby, Rocky, Brooks, and Dagen. No, none of them were strippers.. even Diamond. My best friend, however did collect one from a stripper who refused to release his “dancing name” or the place he worked since it would be “a conflict of interest.” Accidentally earned patches from cheater cheater pumpkin eaters… to add insult to injury, they are actually shaped like pumpkins. What an insult to the flavor of fall. I earned the dog-dad patch… the dog will ALWAYS take precedence over any person. Don’t get me wrong — I’m an animal lover, but I don’t turn down two consecutive dates because “my dog was gonna miss me too much.” Brownies:
1 stick Butter, cubed 2 oz. Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped 5 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped 2 tsp. Vanilla 3 Eggs 1 1/2 cup Sugar 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder 1 cup Flour 10 Thin Mint Cookies, roughly chopped Cream Cheese Topping: 1 brick Cream Cheese 1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar 1 tsp Mint Extract Green Food Coloring Final Topping: 15 chopped Thin Mint Cookies Preheat oven to 350. In heat resistent bowl, combine chopped chocolates and butter. Place over a double boiler with barely simmering water, stirring the chocolate and butter until they are both just melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk in melted chocolate. Add in cocoa powder and combine. With rubber scraper fold in flour. Lastly, fold in 10 chopped Thin Mint Cookies. Pour into a foil lined 8x8 inch baking pan. Put it in the oven for baby and me! Oh, thank God I haven't received a baby patch from any of these dudes. Lawd help me! Bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Set on cooling rack to cool for 2 hours when done baking. For Cream Cheese Topping: In stand mixer, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, mint extract and green food coloring. Tint cream cheese to desired color. Place in bowl and refrigerate until ready to frost completely cooled brownies. For Cookie Layer: Roughly chop 15 Thin Mint Cookies.

I'm not done yet! Stay tuned for "tomorrow, tomorrow. It's only a dayyyyyyyyyy aaaaaaaaaa-wayyyyyyyyy!"
