Stacey at Real World Mom left open tags for the following meme and since I’m overrun with financial stresses and emotionally unavailable for blogging, I give you…
My Six Non-Important, Habits, Quirks*
The Rules:
- Link to the person that tagged you.
- Post the rules on your blog.
- Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
- Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
- Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website
- Let your tagger know when your entry is up
Judge at will:
- All cupboard doors and drawers must be closed at all times. If I walk into the kitchen the a cupboard is open, I cannot focus on anything until it’s firmly closed.
- Lighters must have their sticker on them in excellent condition. If the sticker is missing, curling or dirty, I will usually buy a new one and give the ‘tainted’ one away.
- I count all stairs that I go up and down, all tiles in new places and coins whenever I see them.
- Odd numbers make me uncomfortable and if I wake up at an odd numbered time, I start off in a bad mood immediately.
- Clothes are organized in my closet. Like items (tee shirts, tanks, pants, capris, sweaters, dresses, etc) are grouped together and then arranged chromatically, with lightest closest to the center. Isobel’s clothes all live in a dresser and are similarly arranged.
- I used to never wash my hands after using a public washroom because I was convinced that the taps were dirtier than anything else I could have come into contact with. Now, I just don’t use public washrooms unless it’s an absolute emergency.
I’m doing the same as Stacey: wanna do it, go for it, I’m not going to tag anyone. Already did it? Add your link in the comments, at will. It’s apparently all about free will, today.
* You do know that since I have OCD, this means all of the above are in fact very important, right?
Probably just as moody:
- Oh, Up My Alley Sarah tagged me for a book meme. This is kinda interesting, but you know, doesn’t really tell you anything about...

Your OCD is charming :o)
Once the rain stops, we need to get our little muffins together for some outdoor playtime, I’ll be in a better mood then.
I’m the same way with the cabinets and drawers, and my closet is similar to yours! Scary, huh? LOL!
I so agree with number 6. I mean, come on.
My pops has OCD and anxiety disorder. It’s wicked bad with him. When my bro and I were growing up, we used it to totally screw w/him. For example, all the screws in his outlet covers in his whole freakin house have to aligned. My bro and I once went at them with a screwdriver. It took my dad all of 15 seconds to notice and run around fixing them before his brain exploded or something. It’s really not nice, but karma smacked us both on the ass for it. My bro ended up with the OCD himself and I’m the anxiety basket-case.
I can only imagine what Molly will be like.
Verrry inneresting. My husband’s pet peeve is the kitchen cupboards as well. He’s pretty easy-going but when i leave those doors open…watch out, annoyed city.
Curiously, I MUST take the stickers off lighters & then rub off all the guck. I cannot have one witht he sticker still on it.
I do share some of the counting issues with you. I count syllables & letters in words & separate evenly down the middle into left & right with the odd letter or word in the middle (in my mind o course). I can’t believe i’m writing this, so tired & numbly cold from going out.
Hmmmm… I totally organize my closet. By type, color, and texture. LOL. I puffy heart my OCD! BTW, thanks for the last comment. I totally forgot to mention the paci was not washed afterwards.
cheer - i won’t stop going for a while. except for now. i found a website where you can watch tv shows online (with chinese subtitles, so i won’t miss a thing!) and i really need to stop because i have other stuff, you know, projects and homework and whatnot, that i should be getting done.
1. left first, then right. always.
2. when i brush my teeth, my mouth stays firmly shut - neither foam nor sound escapes it.
3. kind of the opposite - all stickers MUST be taken off (price tags, for example, and perfectly). if they’re on, i’ll just get them dirty, and they won’t stay perfect, so it will bug the crap out of me. but let’s not even talk about difficult stickers where some of the gum stays behind and traps all sorts of debris…
4. i sleep exclusively on the right side of my body, on occasion slumping over onto the right side of my stomach. this has given rise to some interesting problems - enormous bruises on my right hip from sleeping. oh, and righty is smaller than lefty.
5. in my wallet, all money faces the same way and is organized in descending order. smallest bills up front, largest in back. i do this to every bit of money i am allowed to touch, at work, in my friends’ wallets, etc.
6. i can’t function until my hair is bump free. if it’s bumpy, i saw screw it and grab a hat, no matter how hot it is outside.
My two year old was eating cookies today. She looked at me and said, “Please close, Momma.” She refused to finish until I had closed whatever for her.
Close her cookies? Whaaa?
Nope, I’d left the cabinet door open and she could not go one more minute with it open.
[...] too much to handle. I mean, some things. Other things must be addressed immediately, like closing cupboard doors. But dishes and personal hygiene, sorry to maybe gross you out, but those are last priorities. [...]
