so continues the series on Joy the Baker. ย I make notes to myself. ย How to live. ย How not to liveโฆ and how itโs ok if I burn the cookies. ย
YOU’RE ALLOWED a maximum of one freak-out per month. ย After said freak-out, get it together… call your mom, text your sister, walk it off, dance it out, massage it away, buy a new lipstick, fax your accountant, write your grandmother, and eat as many Tootsie Rolls as necessary.
Exceptions include: ย the nine months of pregnancy, tax season, and any month that contains one or more days of jury duty.

Haha – brilliant! I love those exceptions, but you should probably add any month that averages over 95 degrees F. I’m starting to freak out, and not for the first time! :P
May or may not have just ended freak-out sesh (upcoming grad school exam!) with excessive quantities of chocolate and a visit to your site to cheer me up. :)
now to get working!
I love this… thank you. I always feel guilty after a freak-out and I needed to read this.
I think there should be a rolling freak out, like you get one a month and there is an extra, the thirtieth than can be used at any time!
Love it!
