Hello kitchen; where have you been for the last 10 years?
‘m kidding, of course. I’ve been in my kitchen daily, but I haven’t been using it to its fullest potential.
So I’m happy to finally break out the pots and pans and cook something! Something usually delicious and unusual (for me at least). What’s the secret? I signed up for one of those mail order meal plans.
The little yellow pill that saved me
I struggle with depression. It’s not something I am proud of, but it’s nothing I hide, either. I come from a long line of worriers, ruminators, obsessors and other equally intense folks.
ADDiva in the kitchen
I’m a good cook. Really, I am. But I don’t cook. Really, I don’t. Unless forced to do so by a hungry mob. Or unexpected company. Or predictable holidays (although my preferred solution to all of these situations is a visit to our local restaurant).
I realize that my culinary techniques (yes, I do have some) are highly influenced by my ADHD…

CogMed – Take 2
A few weeks ago, I plunked down more money (not quite as much, thankfully) and decided to give CogMed another try, especially in light of the buzz at CHADD this year that working memory is the key to ADHD problems and perhaps treatment.
I’ve always said that most of the advice given to ADHD folks is just the same old advice given to linear people. The only problem is that linear people can IMPLEMENT that advice. I actually heard a noted psychologist tell someone to “just DO it” – like we haven’t tried that already! But if CogMed can help my brain actually conform to those linear standards a little better, then it might be worth a shot.
Never forget anything again ever!

Million dollar ideas
all of us come up with million-dollar ideas every week, perhaps even every day (for ADDivas like us, it might be as often as hourly!).
But we seldom ACT on those ideas, for a variety of reasons: lack of time, self doubt, fear of failure. So I propose that we use this space as a catch-all for our million dollar ideas.
