O.C.D.

I've always been known to have mild signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, mainly dealing with not allowing food to touch on my plate, or changing the toilet paper when it’s rolling the wrong way. (it should always come over the top!) But it wasn’t until I had an abundance of scrapbooking tools, papers, and pictures lying all over my table and strewn through shoeboxes and Michael’s bags, that I realized how bad I am about being organized. It’s driving me insane!! Worst of all, not only is my OCD kicking from everything being out of place, but it’s also deterring me from selecting just the right organization system to fix the problem. I have spent countless hours zipping and unzipping, clasping and unclasping, pulling and pushing through a couple different craft stores, trying to find something that has all the compartments I want. Do I want to be able to travel with it? Do I just want it stationary in my little corner of space at home? Do I want to put things in drawers or clear plastic envelope thingys? It’s just too hard to decide!! I know that someday, when I have more than my little card table of space, I’m going to create an entire desk/shelving unit where each item will have its own precise spot, but until then, I just need something to keep me sane. Low and behold, yesterday, I think I finally found something that, while not exactly what I had in mind, will at least fulfill its purpose for the time being. The best part? There’s a 50% coupon I can use on it, if I order it on the website! So thank goodness for my mother, who needed a last minute run to Joann Fabrics, that I was able to finally put an end to my month-long search. Now I just have to wait for it to ship!

p.s. of course there is always the chance I will change my mind 7 times in the next hour, though I’m not sure I can blame the OCD for that!
