Is it me or is it OCD?

What are some of your pet peeves? Some of mine are even numbers of food ie: even numbers of ice cubes, even number of bites. My grocery list is written according to store aisle with unit prices and unit prices after coupons or store card oh did I mention it's highlighted in 2 different colors? Takes me all day & I love it! My daughter & I are compulsive list makers. She once read a book written by an author who is a genius and he attributed part of his success to listing! Really validates my habits!

Gosh you are crazy as I am. I have my grocery list in my computer. I basely buy the same things every month. I use different highlighters to know which store to buy at. My Thanksgiving dinner I always completely plan the menu & then make the list & what I need to buy & when. What I can make a head of time & so forth. I'm a list person too.

The only time I ever use a list at the store is for holiday meals. I will also have an idea in my head what it will take for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners so I start buying ahead of time when I catch the items on sale.
And my sewing area has to be picked up and neat before I start a new quilt or project. Machines oiled and serviced before hand, and I am notoriously cleaning up behind myself as I go when I am working on a project.
Even my garage is the same way, you would die laughing at my tool boxes and the organization going on there.
Other than that it is a free for all in my life!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

does it count that the supplies in my bathroom cupboard, and kitchen sink cupboards, spice cupboards and canned goods are all in alphabetical order. I even keep the office supplies that way in the office, down to color of highlighters. Each trip to the store, any store-there must be a list, and it is also in order of the aisles per store.
