Something That Vibrates

Everyday, my pockets are stuffed with long-winded, updated TO DO lists, my purse is waited down with a bulky out-dated PDA and I am startled every few minutes when I set my cooking clock to remind me of something as simple as a hard boiled egg on the stove or a much needed therapy appointment.
If you’ve never seen a hard boiled egg explode from over boiling, its quite the Mel Brooks scene.  It spontaneously combust all over the kitchen floor, your tiled back slash and your ceiling, leaving you with nothing but charred egg shells and a growling stomach.
I purchased an item tonight that I think any A.D.D’er can benefit from:
The VibraLITE 3 Vibrating Watch from a bedwetting site (not that I was googling bed wetting or anything) and I worry if that is in fact the direction I am heading in, waterproof underwear and all?  Do my friends and family pity my forgetfulness over festive conversation while I think their talking about the Mets and I have it all under control?

I don't know who drew it but
I like it.













ADD Symptom:  Blurting thoughts out inappropriately.

I was in the mist of cocktail conversation  in a circle of fancy film buffs at the Sundance Film Festival one winter, when one of the film buffs said, “I have an apt in New York and a house in Utah” and all of a sudden, in all seriousness,  I interrupted, “So you’re bi coastal”.  Silence.  More silence.  Silence followed by stares and the memory of an old E. F. Hutton commercial. Conversation is immediately halted and all eyes landed on my now very red face.   “No, she said, “that would be Los Angeles”.  The circle tightened some more, eventually squeezing me out. They didn’t take it as a joke nor did I intend that to be a joke.
I walked away thinking and swearing at that very moment that Park City, Utah was a coastal city. Was it not?  Well of coarse its not but it sounded like a good idea at the time, geographically impaired and all.

I tried not to laugh at the bi-coastal thing, but I couldn't help it ;)

Waterproof underwear sounds like a novel idea. Perhaps it's not too late to patent the idea and make millions. You'd be the queen of bed wetters everywhere.

I was a little scared when I saw the title... something that vibrates...lol
