As she sat there content, freed of feelings quite woeful,

(Which wouldn't have mattered if Sydney had Christmas snowfall)

She checked on her email, and found she was quite dim!

A GIANT thank you went out to lovely [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn !


(Who I will email just as soon as I can get this bloody Gingerbread Hut to stand up straight. Ish.)

Stick a kleenex box underneath it - after all, as my first 'serious' boyfriend's family motto used to say

"If at first you don't succeed, cheat!"

I gave up on the whole Gingerbread hut idea and made cookies. I envy your courage. But hey, you could go for realism - just put lots of mashed gingerbread around it, and dribble chocolate over the whole lot, and call it 'Home'.

I don't have anything red to use for the flames of carnage!

You could bleed on a tissue?

*raises eyebrow*

Seriously, woman, a small jury-rigged bic lighter isn't really that much of a fire hazard. We are going for realism, right?

Or you could just soak the whole lot in alcohol and really set it on fire, although that might taint the chocolate. *ponders*

*pokes and giggles*

You're more than welcome and fear not. It was meant to bring you smiles, not stress. I'm just happy to see your little hound-y icon gracing my screen again! Merry Christmas, BB. I'm very glad to know you.

Also, feel free to have some of our snow. We have about two and a half feet in the backyard and almost five in the front from all the walk shoveling. It is very pretty though. I took Buddy for a walk tonight and looked at all the houses lit up and snow covered and it made me feel good inside.

It DID bring me smiles, Big Ones!

I have been missing my hound, too. This is definitely my last fest ever, hurrah!

(And more hurrahs, the Hut is done and the plumber (aka Jim our neighbour) has been!)

I would love to have a little of your snow. Although it is cool today, the horrible hot will leap out at any minute. It was 110 degrees in the old money here the other year (actually a bit more, 45C) on New Year's Day. We live near the coast! Madness!

Glad that you're still finding the beauty in it, even if it is a wee bit buried. XXX BB

It's a hut! Why does it have to be straight?

So it will stand up before collapsing!

The good news is, it's up, the bad news is that I may have over-engineered it as it looks remarkably stable. Luckily, the humidity is climbing!

Merry Christmas to you, too, lovely girl! And that mischievous sister of yours. Shouldn't you be in bed? I hope you're opening an early present or two and having a lovely early morning. Here's to a splendid 2009!

And to you, Bubba! Thank you for the kind-hearted generosity and sanity that you spread in your wake, it makes my life happier, and I am sure it has the same effect on many others!

And a Happy New Year!
