Maybe if the paper towels in bathrooms were thicker and didn't tear apart or where big enough that they weren't completely saturated after half a hand, then one might suffice. But this is not the case so it must be three. One, because it usually tears b/c it's too wet, two because that's barely enough to finish the first hand, and three because you need both of your hands completely dry. <BR/>And tp must roll over the top. <BR/>And I have a method for showering and drying off that is most effective and I cannot break the cycle. I don't care how long it takes - it must be done in order. And the kitchen has to be clean. Has to. And everything in my kitchen has it's place.

(when I have cash).<BR/><BR/>2. I can't eat a sandwich unless it's cut diagonally. I've thrown away sandwiches my wife made that were cut horizontally, and I always specially request this at restaurants and delis. It's better if they dont' cut it at all, and then I can do it myself.<BR/><BR/>3. TP has to go flap over the top. I change TP in people's houses so it goes this way. This is the correct way.<BR/><BR/>4. I have to drink beer out of a glass. Not a can. Not a bottle. It has to be poured into a glass. I don't know why.<BR/><BR/>5.

If it's important, they'll leave a message.<BR/><BR/>Except that now, my friends and my mother know I emply that tactic and they tend to club me over the head with it and make me feel guilty.<BR/><BR/>Cute idea for the towels!<BR/><BR/>Let's see...how OCD am I...?<BR/>I cannot tell you how many times each day I straighten the pillows on the couch. See, I made them, so there's a seam where they were stuffed that I don't like to show. ANd I have this husband who actually uses these pillows to rest his head on (which is why I had to re-cover them and quit using them on the bed- he got them dirty and misshapen...)and a few pets that mess things up. Every time I pass the couch I have to put the bigger two behind the smaller two, all seams facing downward...<BR/><BR/>All towels in the bathroom have to be level. I re-hang DH's every day because he just throws it on the rack haphazardly. It must be neatly folded in thirds and hung even with mine.<BR/><BR/>How many times each day to I realign the rug in front of the back door so that it's neatly in front, instead of crooked or shoved up against the threshhold?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353149877164396151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15222220.post-1153157659910919022006-07-17T13:34:00.000-04:002006-07-17T13:34:00.000-04:00Pixie:I have ALL your OCD behaviors except for the...Pixie:<BR/>I have ALL your OCD behaviors except for the paper towels. In addition, I have to:<BR/><BR/>1. make sure my daughter's toys containing small pieces (legos, barbie shoes, polly pockets) are NOT in the wrong container. I have been know to stay up late at night until all the barbie shoes can be accounted for.<BR/><BR/>2. The wine glasses in my china cabinet must be arranged in neat rows like soldiers. NO staggering of glasses allowed.<BR/><BR/>3. The flat sheet MUST be tucked under the mattress with military corners.

You might just think I'm a total freak!<BR/><BR/>Ok, here's a few:<BR/><BR/>1. When going into any bathroom with a shower curtain, I MUST open it. Doesn't matter whose house, I must peek. Not for nosiness either.<BR/><BR/>2. My towels MUST be folded the same way. Every time. When Chuck came to visit, he folded a towel for me and I had to refold. Sad, but true.<BR/><BR/>3. Cash in my wallet MUST be put in order and must all face the same way. I will hold up a line, even traffic, to fix it. <BR/><BR/>There.
