This Is What I Do When I’m Supposed To Be Cleaning

My house is always a wreck. I’d like to blame my two young children, but let’s be honest – it’d probably still be a wreck even if they weren’t around. I hate cleaning. So if there’s anything that I can do other than cleaning, I’ll be doing it.
Earlier this week, Clemson played Ala-damn-bama for the National Championship as every true Southern woman knows. Alabama won, but Clemson gave it their all. It was a great game. I was jealous that Georgia wasn’t playing. Sigh. Maybe one day. Wait ’till next year.
ANYWAY!
Our council’s Facebook page posted a graphic featuring the Clemson logo and cookies. We live near Clemson University, hence the picture. But it had a football helmet which of course grabbed my attention:
I love college logos and football helmets because I love to learn the history of them and why they chose those particular color schemes and mascots. Usually there’s a fascinating story behind them. If you like those things too, you should check out a neat website called The Helmet Project. It’s researched almost every football team that’s ever stepped out onto the field and recreated their past and present helmet designs. It’s amazing!
I saw that drawing of a helmet and then looked at our dirty steps that needed vacuuming. So what would a Girl Scout helmet look like for real? And I looked back at the dirty steps. Oh, this wouldn’t take me long. Using the template on The Helmet Project, I made one:
Pretty sweet if you ask me. Some of my football friends asked me when I was going to design the Nike Combat uni with the gloves that form an image when you put your hands together like so:
I said the gloves could form Juliette Gordon Low’s face. That’d be pretty cool too.
Who would the Girl Scouts football team play? That other scout group that shall not be named? Insert bad joke here. Cough. Or would each council field a team and they’d play each other? Does ESPN’s College Gameday crew show up and the Washington State flag fly in the background? Is Kirk Herbstreit calling the game? Do they play the championship in the Little Brownie Bakers Cookie Bowl? Would the winner of the Council Championship hoist a crystal Samoa?
These and more questions ran through my head while I vacuumed the steps.
