Occasionally I hear the letters O, C, and D bandied about -- IN REGARDS TO ME!
Just because my spices are laid out in a drawer in alphabetical order with the labels showing and my clothes hang in my closet according to color and sleeve length and each shoe has its own cubbyhole and I like a clean house, doesn't mean I have OCD.
If you saw my house, then you would know how ridiculous it is to say I'm an OCD type.
So, what I'm going to do now is ask you all to wait here for just a few minutes and I'll dash around the house and get a few photos that proof I'm not an OCDer.
Hang on. I won't be long.
Don't go away. I'm still looking. I didn't think it would take this long.
I guess my time is up, but no prob. I have the perfect shot.
It's not perfectly centered and it's too far forward on the shelf.
So HA! and HA! again. I can sit in my family room and not feel bothered in the least because that little painting isn't centered.
And when I'm finished here I am not going to run out to the family room to change anything. Not me! No Way! It's fine if it's less than perfect. I couldn't care less. Big deal! So what! Not changing anything. Not gonna fix anything. Not me. No how. No way. Everything is fine. Everything is great. It's not upsetting me. No, not me.
Well, that's enough for now. I've gotta run. We'll chat later. I, uh, have something I need to do.
Infinities of love,
Lola
Hahaha! My poor husband has to deal with me making constant adjustments to Christmas decorations and I get frustrated that he doesn't see how much better they look after I have moved them a millimeter over! Some things I can let go of but there must be symmetry!!!
ReplyDeleteNow this was a funny post. And I thought you were writing about Dee from Coming Home to Myself. :)
ReplyDeleteYou would die if you saw my house and all the stuff that's out of place. It's killing me, and I only have mild Oh, see and dee.
hahaha oh my ocd had a field day with this, that off center made me go nuts, you need to fix it now, now, now..haha
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with being OCD. Half the people I work with are. The benefits of this are the place is spotless and everyone knows where everything is.
ReplyDeleteHysterical! Loved this. Did you know an anagram of ODC is DOC? hehe. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much. I'm really quite proud of my OCD organizational skills. Those of us with OCD deserve more appreciation. Pat, stay calm. I already centered it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has a little OCD in 'em. That's what makes us quirky and fun to talk to.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me though, I need to go clean my house LOL!
They say opposites attract. I'm a slob...so spread'em.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for getting rid of that black background. My eyes thank you.

ReplyDeleteWhen I finally decide to grow the hell up, I wanna be just like you, Coffeypot. ;)
You would freak out if you saw my room, Lola. My book stacks are organized fairly well, but some books stick out of place (ok, most), and I leave my basketball lounge pants on my floor. I think you might end up curled up in a ball on the floor, crying softly, trying to assure yourself that it'll be ok. It'll all be ok.
haha! I can't believe my comment is coming after Rory's. What the heck am I going to say to follow that up with? OCD is the new black.
ReplyDeleteOh Coffey, how does Judy fit into our love affair? And You're welcome to your eyes. It looks a little more cheerful I think. Rory, I'm glad you have such intelligent aspirations. However, I read the description of your room and had to pull my keyboard to the floor, where I am already curled up in a ball, sobbing. Cinderita, I think Rory is Comment King today. Padded Cell Princess, stick to your guns. Make those decorations perfect. Mine will be. Stephanie darling, I'm so sorry for your suffering. Tony, thank you for your appreciation. Copyboy, I have to disagree with you. I think some people (perhaps Rory) are without the OCD gene. Barb, Are you perhaps suggesting I need a doctor? Or maybe a mental health professional? Let's not toy with perfection. Elisa Darling, Get busy cleaning and find out how great you can feel. I know you have the potential.
ReplyDeleteBTW...made you blog of the day.
ReplyDeleteI think some people (perhaps Rory) are without the OCD gene.
ReplyDeleteI'll put it this way: The second half of second grade, my family and I moved to Coral Springs, Florida, and I entered Mrs. Bird's class. I'm sure it didn't even take two months before Mrs. Bird became so frustrated at the state of the inside of my desk (Not a desk with a lit that you open), crumpled papers, a few sticky candy wrappers, organized folders that had no chance, and she dumped it all onto the floor.
I meant a "lid" that you open. Sometimes my typing falls victim to the same disorganization. Fortunately, it's not as bad as it was back then. But too clean disturbs me.
ReplyDeleteRory, I think that was rather unkind of Mrs. Flip Her The Bird. Copyboy, Blog of the day? Now that's pretty sexy and hot and cool, just like your Lola.
ReplyDeleteRory, I think that was rather unkind of Mrs. Flip Her The Bird.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that I was teased all throughout that second half of second grade to fifth grade, and took it from whence it come, which to me was nothing at all, Mrs. Bird's actions were mild.
It's nice to know I'm not alone in the oh, see, and dee. Too bad hubby was born without that gene - I had to ban him from the kitchen since he kept messing up my spice rack and not putting them back alphabetically. ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW...you won my contest.
ReplyDeleteCopyboy, I love being a weiner. Stacy, You were right to ban your husband. Spices that aren't alphabetized are an abomination. Rory, If I could get the little poops who teased you I'd smack the crap out of them, or at least scare them so much they'd learn to shut up.

ReplyDeleteI take pleasure in the thought that a select few are probably in jail by now. It was their destiny.
Followed!
