Stupid things that excite me

[HeatherB]

Not really exciting - but silly.....

Before I go to bed I have to "brush off" the sheets with my hands. I can't stand dirt or anything.

When I do dishes, I have to run my hand over each plate/bowl. If it feels gritty or slimy at all, I rewash them. Also, after I wash a glass or bottle I smell it. If it smells like milk, koolaide or coffee, I must rewash.

I usually wake up in the middle of the night and have to flip my pillow. My pillow gets too hot and the bottom side is always cooler for some reason. I can't sleep facing my husband. Hot air in my face bothers me. I also do not like things over my face (whether a cover or scarf)

"Hot air in my face bothers me." Too funny.

Would love to see some of your work!!!

Would love to show my photos off, but my online gallery is under my real name and I'd rather remain anonymous here.

I tried to post a few downsized photos here, but the forum keeps giving me error messages that even tiny avatar-level 10kb photos are too large....oh well....

LOL I had asked my gf to go into my dresser drawer for a document that I had stashed there. She let out a scream. I ran up to see what was the matter. She said she has never seen underwear lined up so carefully!!!

LOLOL whatamess, we could start an entire thread on OCD?

ROTFLOL! I fold and seperate undergarmets too. It makes my husband crazy. I also mate and fold socks, have all clothes hung by color and sleeve length.
My husband throws everything any old place but expects me to pick up & my younger daughter is a SLOB!!! BUT my husband gets mad if everything isnt perfect later. My mother has 'her' parts of the house and we have 'ours'. Hers are SCARY places knee deep in junk. Once I found furniture polish among one of her treasure boxes from 1950's. She has makeup that Avon has not sold since the 1960's. She never even opened it. She has no less than 46 bottles of perfume on her vanity, and saves clothing tags!!!

I'm sure you wash our hands in a public rest room and use a paper towel to open the door right????? I love watching people see me do this. My hands get so dry in the winter from washing. I also wash my feet about four/five times a day. I really need help!!! its funny because I love to go to the city and ride public transpo but wear gloves. ROTFLOL!
I have actually become better since traveling and staying in Asia. I almost had a nervous breakdown over there at first until I calmed down and realized I wasnt going to get SARS or bird flu..nor could I avoid germs w/o starving to death. I even ate from a FOOD CART!!!! Heaven sang.

Not only do I open the door with a paper towel, I flush the toilet with my FOOT! and all my shoes are in the garage on a rack, even my good ones.

But.......I give, you have me beat. I do not wash my feet 4 times a day. I crown you OCD queen.

LOL! I just love the wonderfully creative ideas kids come up with!

When I was about six, my dad brought home a new refrigerator in a huge box one day, then cut little windows and a door into it to make a little playhouse for me. On the day he announced we were buying a new car, I was thrilled thinking about how much bigger THAT box was going to be, and so disappointed to find out that new cars didn't come in boxes....sigh....I'm not sure I've ever really recovered! lol!

I'm just now getting around to this thread, and OMG, I'm LMAO! lrprn, this is way too funny.

I think I'm a lot like most of you. I'll sit around on a Saturday and wait for the mail truck. I'll hear the mail truck roll by the house (I'm at work when it comes during the week), and when it's gone, I'm there sifting through it.

Seeing something in the house that needs fixin' gets me all hyped up. If I can use a hammer or a screwdriver, I feel like a kid in a candy store. Although my wife gets real nervous because the last time I was going to fix some falling wood trim, I ended up just tearing out the entire wall.

I'm a car washing, polishing and waxing nut. I am constantly cleaning the cars and waxing them.

I also enjoy working in the yard. This is another thing that makes my wife nervous because the last time I was going in the backyard to clean up a major mess from recent storms, I ended up trenching the backyard and installing 500 feet of drain tile and replanting the lawn.

Anyways, I'm a project person. I love little projects that keep me busy. Just so long as I keep my bright ideas in check......LOL!

The Dollar Store!. I love to go in and browse and then find a treasure for $1.00

I used to be a "neat/clean freak" when I was younger (came from my upbringing). Used to love yard sales, till my garage turned into one, lol. Love taking old things and turnig them into new things or make something different out of them.

Now days, as I've grown older, I enjoy the more simpler things in life. Stopping by the pond and old mill and feeding the ducks. Watching the ducks fly into the local park to sleep at night. Watching the cattle out in the field and how lazy they are. Watching one of the old neighborhood dogs (beagle) "waddle" across the street. Her old age is showing bad - but she's still the sweetest thing and so even tempered. She loves roaming the neighborhood and visiting everyones house. And just sitting on the deck petting my own "girls" listening to 3 waterfalls in my back yard.
SO RELAXING........... and can on-set a case of laziness also.

As I've gotten older, I've slowed down, everything doesn't HAVE TO BE DONE TODAY. I take more time watching and listening to nature and more time just relaxing and enjoying the moment. Now I do things when I want to do them - not because I need to hurry up and do them. My life is more now about what I want to do - then what the rest of the world wants me to hurry and do.

I still work hard on a job every day, and play hard every day, but the time in between is a much slower enjoyable pace. Why get rushed and stressed out.........

Getting older is getting wiser - and much more enjoyable at a slower pace.

I was gonna invite you over and let you play with the power tools, but changed my mind, I like my walls where they are.

Ok come on over, I have 2 acres you can trench all you want, and my husband is killing my 2 year old lawn.
