On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Just that title makes me sound like one of those crazy people who say they’re “cured” but they’re really not and then they go off and sleep with fifty people or something until they come down from the mania and then they don’t take a shower for a month. So apparently there are a million-billion… Continue reading Quit My Meds?
I was worried that, with the kids gone, I was still going to wake up at my–way too early–regular time and wouldn’t take full advantage of this whole “kidless” thing. Sleeping late used to be one of Tucker’s and my favorite pastimes Not going to tell you what time we rolled out of bed because… Continue reading ADD Moment and Military Song Schtuff
I must admit I’m not quite sure how to start out a post about me calling for a psychic reading because I got a DM on Twitter from Cecily. But I guess that pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? I went digging through the Hollywood Psychics site and you’d think some of those folks… Continue reading Ten Minutes of a Psychic Reading for Me
Today was a ridiculously productive day for me. Some would like to attribute it to the fact I started on my ADD meds again but since I’m only at 12mg at the moment, I like to attribute it to my general awesomeness. At any rate, I sat down for a breather and Cara jumped in… Continue reading Like a Hello Kitty Fly Girl…but Nicer
I’m pretty certain I have writer’s block. Or rather, I can’t think of anything to write. Which means I’m going to ramble aimlessly on about anything that comes to mind so I can convince myself this isn’t a permanent mental state. Because that would blow. Rambling is the best medicine. When you can’t write, you… Continue reading Batman Kills Writer’s Block
My mind is pretty much blank today but I figured if I started typing then maybe something would come of it. I guess a bit of house keeping or something is in order first. One of the first “new blogger” tips you always read is: Have one topic for your blog and stick to it.… Continue reading You Choose What You Read
cru·ci·ver·bal·ist [krs-vûrb-lst] n. 1. A constructor of crosswords. 2. An enthusiast of word games, especially of crosswords. [From Latin crux, cruc-, cross + Latin verbum, word (translation of English crossword).] I’m horrible at crossword puzzles. I love words, I love playing with word, I love making up words. However, the ADD tends to kick in… Continue reading Word of the Day: Cruciverbalist
I was probably in third grade when my teacher very delicately told me I had “diarrhea of the mouth.” And looking back on it, I realize she had a point. I’ve always talked a lot and if I hear my mom say one more time, “Think before you speak!” I’ll probably staple my mouth shut.… Continue reading Diarrhea of the Mouth
I was going to write a “birthday post” since yesterday was my birthday but once I got the thing started last night, I reread it and the thing bored ME to tears so I could only imagine how thrilled you would be to read it. So instead of boring you with the details of my… Continue reading Hanging On
I hate the Thursday before Tucker leaves for drill weekend. Somehow we always manage to run out of everything right before he leaves so that we have to scramble around and get groceries and diapers and whatever other random “must have” item we can think of before he leaves. It’s not that I can’t go… Continue reading Sick Hummingbird Loses Note
I’m currently reading The Ghost Map. It’s about a major cholera outbreak in London in the the middle part of the 19th Century. How’s that for light bedtime reading? In my defense, Tucker’s reading Bitten which is about…well…bites. Spider bites. Ferret bites. Snake bites. Human bites. Pretty much any and every bite that you can… Continue reading Clean Water and Other Random Things
Today is a study in ADD. You have no idea what I’m talking about so I shall explain. This morning my mom called and asked Cara and me to breakfast – Cracker Barrel. [Give me a break, ok? This is the South and it’s a law that you must eat at Cracker Barrel at least… Continue reading ADD or Stream of Consciousness
