The life of an OCP librarian

I think all OCP people have some sort of obsession with numbers, even though it varies by person.  One of my weird ones is with checks and bills.  I love to write even numbers on checks and for bills.  When I go to a restaurant, I almost always try to make the check with the [...]

David and I have a queen-sized bed.  As a result, it takes two people to change the sheets on our bed.  Since both of us are OCP, this can take a while.  A few months ago, David insisted we buy some little straps to help hold the bottom sheet on the bed, since it had [...]

My apologies to anyone who’s tried to use the subscribe link on my blog recently–my husband has been doing some updates and apparently the link stopped working at some point–but it works now. :)

My extended family and I have spent the last few days running to the bathroom to take care of one end or the other due to a nasty flu bug we passed around.  Personally, I spent quite a while throwing up, and I’m pretty sure I threw up about 15 times.   How do I know [...]

I know there are people in the world who proofread for a living, and those who proofread as part of their job.  However, for me proofreading is not a job–it’s a lifestyle!

Both hubby and I love organization!  We love it so much that we have a file folder for everything.  Right now, I can count over 100 labeled file folders in our file cabinet.  (Remember this is mostly only stuff from two years worth of marriage.)  This means I can find almost any paper in a [...]

Both hubby and I are insistent that there is only one correct way to put toilet paper on the roll (with the paper feeding up over the top).  So, of course all of our rolls of tp are always inserted the correct way.   From what I’ve read in personality books, I think there are many [...]

Today, we hung 9 pictures in our bedroom. In the process, I had 3 pictures on the wall that were part of a set of 5, and made the comment that “hey, these could work as is.” Hubby’s response: “Only if you switch the two bottom ones so that the individual pictures of [...]
