Our grocery store has a form online that you can use that's in order around the store. It's quite handy.

DH will walk around the house and flip the 3-way light switches so they are all the same.

Hey everybody...lookie, I cleaned with no hands!

I have been known to peek into a room before I barge right on in...
And I, too, talk to myself (does that surprise anyone here on the board?). In fact, I tell my family that my headstone is going to have a speaker on it so I can comment on the passing world... LOL!

I also put my stuff on left-side first (tho both boobs go in at once). And I put my clothes on in a certain order. Underpants. Bra. Socks. Slacks. Shoes. Make-up. Shirt (if you put your shirt on before yo put your make-up on, 9 times out of 10 you drop mascara or something on it & then you gotta start all over). Earrings. Rings. Glasses.

the reason I have to do left boob first is I have 3...soon to be 2, lol...and you think I'm kidding.
Look at my avatar...oh right, I taped it down for the picture session
