One of our boys tells me I'm mildly eccentric.....I think he's just being polite.
Oooh... that towel idea is a good one. Do you roll the washcloth up with the towel? See... my washcloth has to match the towel & they need to be stacked together in the closet. And BTW... welcome to the wacky flock!

Hey, there ain't nutthin' worse than a wonky cup, ladies!!!
I know right?!!! We can't be expecting the girls to go riding around in wonky cups!
After all the care we take with our groceries, laundry, how we eat our food, how we put on our clothes and even how we bathe and we're gonna let our delicates get all smooshed and wonkified to look all wrinkly and sloppy?
I dare say not! We are proud quilting women and will put our best forward!

I used to have to have it locked and barred, but dh was put on oxygen and his claustrophobia cranked up so I unquirked with that one.
I can't have the poor man stop breathing on me. He'd surely stink by morning!

Hey! I resemble that remark! That's actually always been my theory... these "habits" make life easier... except when they don't... LOL!

to me, all of my 'systems' make perfect sense.
It's dh that calls them anything else. So why does he always ask me where everything is???
hmmm?

Oh, no!!! I just realized all of my "bottom of the stack" towels have probably expired!

Oh crap! You've probably got towels from 1980 under there!

the only thing I don't 'rotate' is the husband and he's due soon if there isn't an adjustment, LOL!
psst, you think I should give him notice? ...would it make any difference?
We women are always changing, rearranging and refreshing and men are like cats, just look at you like -
WHAT?
