I am not OCD, I'm just a dedicated repetitive person!

Okay, so my little sister says that I have OCD, so this blog is dedicated to Jessica tonight! My husband tends to agree with her so am just going to lay it all out there for you!


She brought it to my attention that when I was at her house last week, she caught me doing something but just didn't say anything about it. I recall it something like this....

I was cooking for her housewarming party and as I opened the refrigerator I noticed there was something on the handle, so I just casually got the dish rag from the sink and cleaned it off really quick. Jessica recalls it something like this....

She turned around and saw me trying to sneak a clean on the refrigerator. She said that she didn't let me know she was watching but that I was scrubbing it so hard you could probably hear the squeaking from my elbow grease and my face was about 2 inches from the dirty spot, so I was really into it. She said "I can see it now, you aren't gonna let the kids stay over, my house isn't clean enough!" But she so kindly gave me a pass because she knows I have OCD!

Well, my lovely sister went on to list all of my OCD flaws for me this afternoon, WITH EXAMPLES NO DOUBT! Oh, but she did say that maybe it's partly a control issue and not all OCD. Here we go....

I write my vacation to do list 1 year in advance.

I buy vacation supplies 6 months in advance and hide them in the closet.

I plan our Christmas Eve dinner in January.

I call everyone or e-mail them in January with birthday party dates for the rest of the year.

I get upset about bows on my presents if they are not perfect. (it's true) (well, all of this is)

When people come over my house has to be perfectly clean, then if they get it dirty I get upset. Jessica said I will say "Hey, you just brought dirt in on your shoes, clean it up!" She said I can be mean about it....haha.

Well, all I can say is that all of this is true and I just can't help myself, but if anyone needs sunblock in the winter, I am stocked up on it! Gotta get ready for that June vacation!

Okay Jessica, I put some of my worst flaws out there for the world to see, I hope you are happy! I love you! Isn't everyone just a little OCD? or is that said just to make us with OCD fell better?
