I suck at being a Virgo. Outside of my curious love of office supplies and little small bowl and organizational systems …. okay maybe I don’t so much SUCK at being a Virgo. Really I am the product of what happens when Virgo meets ADD. I love plans, I love making detailed little plans. And then when I can’t follow them I freak out and feel like a failure. So survival means skipping the plans and winging it. I don’t have a cute red dress hanging outside my closet to fixate on. I don’t have a size I want to [...]

I just realized its been a while since I made any sort of substantive update – so in the words of Inigo Montoya, “Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up” Some summer highlights: Tomatoes from the garden are 200% better than tomatoes from the store. I might never eat them from the store again.

Took a photography class with Franklin Habit at Loopy Yarns, AWESOME! Had [...]

I am trying to figure out the best way to address this, it has already been [...]

Watched Glee . . . uhm . . . they have stolen all the cheeze and possibly the whiz too. Many things annoyed me, and some amused me. I seriously hope they were going for caricatures, because they certainly got them, and not always in a way that was okay for me (materialistic wife who hates her husbands dreams, minorities as spunky but useful backup, driven career girl and christian/slutty/blond cheerleader, evil high-school cliques, etc I could go on and on. Getting ready to go to Wiscon for my first time. As usual feeling trepidations and shy. I wish I [...]

We’ve axed the Adderall, when we started moving me up into the area of actual theraputic doses, I started having a whole series of bleah sideaffects including nausea, sleeplessness, lack of appetite, light-headedness, anxious tummy, and all this was distracting enough it was hard to tell if I was getting any positive affect from it. Now we are playing with Strattera I started with a standard low dose on Sunday, and I’ll move into a higher dose next week. This is a newer – non-stimulant type of ADD drug. And the affects are suppossed to be gradual and last all [...]
