You mean all I need is a notebook?

I was really trying hard to work on my OCD. I hit up the B&N psychology aisle and found one book that looked decent and bought it. So far it has not been money well-spent. I did, however, also find a workbook for adults with ADHD (same aisle). Now, this book, I like! I haven't gotten very far and I haven't followed the directions very well (Why would I, I have ADD?) but I'm a fan. The chapters are really short and break things down even further in small digestible bits. The book advised me to do two things so far--get a notebook and a calendar and write everything down in them and nowhere else. I've been working with a calendar for a few years and I think it is a must. The notebook thing I've never tried but it sounds swell. Firstly, because I forget everything. (You would too if your mind thought it needed to have an opinion on every feeling, person, sound, smell and object around you all at the same time.) Second, because I know I will forget, I end up using post-its and notepads and miscellaneous scrap pages to make notes and lose them. I'm very hopeful that if I can stick with this it might actually help me, even if it is a tiny and obvious idea. I also think if I can manage my ADHD a little better, I would be more productive, less stressed and less likely to obsess. YAY!

i'm taking over the whole alphabet!

most people know i have ADHD. i'm not ashamed to admit it, in fact, i kind of brag about it. i'm high energy, i'm a great multi-tasker, i have a million different thoughts a day and as much as this can sometimes leave me feeling very scatterbrained and drained at the end of a day, i love it.


something i don't usually admit to people is that i have OCD. this is something i don't talk about even with my close friends. the problem is i feel like i've been working so hard to keep it a secret that i'm not even dealing with the problem myself.

every year around my birthday i think of the things i want to change in my life and start to work on them. this year i have decided to make dealing with my OCD one of my priorities. i did this sometime ago and was successful for a couple of years, but after a stressful period it came back again and has slowly progressed to the point i'm at now, which is the worst it has ever been. i feel like in order to really change i need to stop hiding the fact that i have a problem so i can deal with it. so there you have it.

just a tip

if you ever have plans to go visit someone's home and you are ill--it doesn't matter if it is a holiday or dinner party or what have you--DO NOT GO. call them and tell them you are sick. do not just show up without warning and expect them to happily accept your illness as they would a hostess gift. cancelling the day before may be inconvenient, but not nearly as inconvenient as a week with the flu and having to miss work during quarter end.

it's kosher for passover!

so i'm eating some tasty sushi for fish friday along with some creme cheese that tells me that it is "kosher for passover". so what makes me wonder is, is it ever NOT kosher? it's cheese! what could they be doing to it, for it to not be kosher? making it from camel milk? slicing in with a bloodied blade they just used to slaughter a cow? not that i ever keep kosher, i'm shiksa all the way, i'm just curious about what my cream cheese would have to do to be unfit? if you know tell me, because i'm very curious.

i was stabbed last night!

he says it was an accident, but i knew it was only a matter of time before that dirty whore stabbed me. he is brown people and you know how the brown people are always threating to cut you. plus, when someone gets killed or stabbed or shot it's always the husband--everyone who watches tv knows that.

lucky for me i have tough, ferretty skin, dull knives and super powers of invincibility. so instead of a gash, i have what looks like a teeny-tiny faerie hicky on my side. but you know, just in case, if i turn up dead next time, you know who did it. el indio estupido!

look at him. you can see him plotting evils against me.
