Obsessed?
Sun Apr 07 2002

Hunkka-hunkka Hubby says I am obsessive.

JUST because before going to bed I check every door in the house 4 or 5 times to be sure it is locked does NOT mean I am obsessed with security.

JUST because I get up 3 or 4 times in the night to check e-mail does NOT mean I am obsessed with the Internet.

JUST because I will play a computer card game all night long until I FINALLY win does NOT mean I'm obsessed with it. (OK, sometimes I will agree with this one)

JUST because I will not put a good book down until I have finished it, despite having read it 5 times before, does NOT mean I am obsessed with reading. (...just engrossed in the story)

JUST because everything on my computer is plastered with various pics of Hugh Jackman does NOT mean I am obsessed with him.

JUST because I have to re-arrange the dishes in the cupboard if they are not in there a certain way does NOT mean I am obsessive about that. (...they won't fit otherwise...yea, that's it...)

I won't even go into why I take all the dirty dishes out of the dishwasher and put them back in the correct way before I run it. Nor will I go into the various lengths I go through regarding laundry. (I just KNOW I can get 3 more bowls in....)

I also won't go into his theories about why I shop when I'm depressed. I also won't even go into my chocolate addiction...

Do these things seem obsessive? Maybe. What he does not realize is that several of them are done more for the reason that I can't remember if I had already done it or not.

OK, I'm going to go re-fold all the laundry in my dresser now....maybe the towels in the closet while I'm at it....and I'll get a bowl of Death by Chocolate Ice Cream on my way there...

    Er, so sorry about that! I didn't even see your entry :-) It was just the first thing that popped into my head when I walked into the store and inhaled the fragrant smell of chocolate . . . Lots and lots of chocolate . . . :-) Hope you're not annoyed with me over that, I didn't mean to steal your title :-D

    Nah, you're not obsessive, not at all! You're just ... organized. ;)

    I think almost everybody is obsessive--or at least, compulsive--about at least one thing. The way we have to eat certain foods with other certain foods, or we have to floss *before* brushing, or have our desks arranged "just so." LOL We are funny creatures!

    Thanks for the comment re: gallstones. They hurt more than childbirth? Wow, that's saying a lot.

    I can relate!

    Cass gets hysterical sometimes because I INSIST on having the house clean BEFORE I go to bed!

    Or that the kitchen has to be clean BEFORE I cook dinner.

    I tell ya... there's just no pleasing these men sometimes... ;)

    Obssessed? Your #1 son asked me why Iam so " Up with cleaning" He ment uptight, I think it is years of drum corps. Everything has to be semitrical,orderly or it is not correct! I say go for it! there are way worse things to be obsessive about. Whats the crime in order?

    *smile* I wonder what he would think of me, lining up glasses in the cupboards from large to small; as all food cans or boxes - large to small. Or the clothes hanging in my closet that all have to be colour grouped from darkest to lightest. I could go on and on.......
