Feeling nervous, shaky, overwhelmed? Don't attempt making a gingerbread house. I made 17 last year, and it nearly had me in the hospital again.

Sometimes though I don't know if I'm trying to simplify my life or just paint myself into a corner so I can get my house in order and "be done with it!" I'm having a hard time counting my blessings as of late. I find the holidays brutal enough but this year has been horrific for me. I'm going to whine because I've got to let some of this sadness disipate into the light of day. I'd kick my own a...s but I don't have the wherewithall right now. Sorry to carry on but you know where this place is...beyond blue. Not to worry, somehow I'll make it through...God ai'nt done with me yet!

EIGHT? You're a piker.
Let me count ... including bouncebacks with parents as moves, I've moved, since I left college ... 18 times in 17 years.
Holy crow, talk about taking the "geographic cure" to an extreme ...
I just need to get my damn tree up....for the kids. The thought of getting you all that stuff. But I better! Merry Christmanss to everyone and hang in there; it will be over before we know it!
Re; Thanks Larry, I guess you got me beat! I wish there were a geographic cure for the "blues" or at least maybe I could become color blind? Oh well, I know time will surely tell. Hmmmm maybe I should just sing the blues? I can still sing!!!
Therese,
Since you tried making 17 of them last year I won't even attempt one and I even have a "kit" for making one.
Considering we are both nuts (pun intended) then I promise to just learn from your mistake and not make the same mistake.
Nancy
