I have been a bargain shopper for a while with sales and coupons, but I’ve just started to read a couple of great blogs with deals and freebies. I’ve noticed them talking about the great deals at CVS for a while, but finally got a chance to get my feet wet this week. CVS has [...]
As a general rule, I don’t get sick. And, my husband hasn’t gotten too sick in recent years either. But, apparently having a baby changes all that! With maybe a day or two exception, at least one member of my extended family has been sick for about 6 weeks or so now, [...]
It’s been a crazy month. (More to come on that in the next post or two.) But, yesterday I had an experience that made me thankful for one of my OCP tendencies. For my entire life, I have refused to put knives in the dishwater when washing dishes because I was afraid of accidentally cutting [...]
Is it OCP to always load your dishwasher the same way? If someone else loads it, I always have to move the dishes around before I run it. I claim “it’s because it gets the dishes cleaner,” but maybe it’s secretly an OCP trait. I have had two people comment about it this week. Hmm, [...]
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 [...]
From what I’ve heard, most perfectionists are clean freaks. They’re the type who vacuum their house every day, always have clean bathrooms, and never leave the dinner dishes sitting in the sink. Well, somehow I think I missed that trait when God was handing them out. I like for things to be clean, but I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We put the two leaves into our dining room table for Christmas. What was I most excited about? Suddenly, all the wood grain lines in the table matched!
Once upon a time, I thought all closets were organized like mine. Now, after visiting enough people to know otherwise–I have realized that I really do have an OCP closet. In my closet, all the clothes are lined up by type (sweater, t-shirt, skirt), and then by type or color of material. [...]
