So last week (or was it the week before) Meghan got the rule book out and totally fired my ass. I’m not sure who she thinks she is. Then as if that wasn’t bad enough she claimed to have rubbed on me off on me. I would love to stand up and defend myself but then I started looking around my house and HOLY BALLS I have a serious problem here people. I present to you, the people, my evidence.
CLOSET #1
CLOSET #2
UNDERWEAR DRAWER
SOCK DRAWER
HAIR DO-DADS DRAWER
SHOE RACK
I think it is entirely possible that I have issues with control. Elsewhere in my house I have sorted my movie racks into categories by genre. Ryan’s closet is totally organized like mine (except for the color coding). I won’t even bother to tell you how I have the baby’s closet organized (by type of outfit, color, and brand).*AHEM*
I think that I will quit now before Meghan pulls out that stupid rule book she is obviously writing as we go. Now that I’ve shared my OCD with you, tell me your OCD secrets.

AHAH. At my best my closets look like this but usually only for a day or so :-) I just wanted to say that I love that you say tenny runners! My parents always called tennis shoes our ‘super tenny runners’ and I have never heard anyone else say it!
@Andrea, I’ve never heard anyone but my best friend from Chicago refer to them as that either. Sometimes I call them my tenny kicks too. I just like how it sounds.
Ummm… sorry to tell on you, but I even noticed that all of the baby’s onesies had all their snaps closed. And everything faces the same way. That’s crazy. You are never allowed to see my home. :)
And sorry if Hayd messed up your organization on your movie rack while we were there. He has so respect for that type of thing. You should see what he does to my tupperware cabinet! Haha…
We could all learn a lot from you.
@Tammy, I really should have taken a picture of the baby’s closet too huh. Hayd at least just stacked the movies he pulled on top, I think he could tell there was some sort of order he couldn’t figure out.

Can you come over and do that to my house??? :)
@Michelle, I live to organize stuff, point me in your direction.
Squeal!!!! A girl after my own heart… I WISH you could see my closets too… someone twittered just this morning about Martha having an orgasm… she’d totally have the eyes-rolling-it-the-back-of-your-head kind at my house. Yay for you!! Fabulous!! (Are you Aiming Low though?!)
@Grumble Girl, Um, but my socks are FOLDED…
@Grumble Girl, Yes I believe the Martha-having-an-orgasm tag was made just for me :) I do aim low just not in my organization of clothes and such.

I’m all about your OCD, but you have toom any damn camisoles.
@tena, See I don’t think I have enough…I want MOAR!
My house is a mess…I’m a “clean-when-we-have-company” gal. But my DVD collection is sorted into regular movies, animated movies, and TV seasons. Within those categories, everything is ALPHABETIZED! I’ve actually re-thought purchasing a DVD starting with A-M because it’s such a hassle to re-alphabetize the whole thing.

That’s sick and wrong on so many levels.
Although if you could visit and organize the baby’s dresser/change table like that, I’d be ever so grateful.
Hello that is what normal people do LOL… they only clean an organized place is my closet, the everything goes closet, and my bathroom. Everything else has gone to hell LOL…..
Rock on sista!
I think you are my closet soul-mate.

dude, you hang up your camis!??!?
mine are shoved in a drawer. SHOVED.
I’m guessing you don’t have a clothing-chair-of-doom in your room when your clothing goes to die, eh?
Glad to know I’m not the only one! Your underwear drawer is gorgeously set up, I need some of those little divider boxes but can’t find any small enough to fit my drawers

You’re too organized to be my friend. You would die, DIE, if you saw my closet.
Also, when are you coming over to organize my closet? I have wine.

My closets look a lot like yours (read: WE ARE CLOSET TWINS). I live in an apartment, so I don’t leave my room much. I feel gross when things aren’t in order, and I live with my 5 year old nephew so nothing in the living room is ever orderly. I also feel invaded if people touch things in my room. Even if I’m standing right there.
My sister, however, is organized, which helps.
But I know that when I have a house, my husband is going to think I’m nuts because everything will be labeled and everything will be in It’s Place (everything HAS A PLACE!). And he’s going to learn really fast that things need to stay that way.

I just organized my sock drawer for no good reason. I think you’re rubbing off on me.
My OCD thing — I must…MUST…have my bedsheets, comforter and blanket arranged before I go to bed or I can’t fall asleep. Like it’s all I can think about if they aren’t perfect. My husband kicks them off during the night and I want to punch him for it.

I don’t have room in the closet to hang my camisoles/tank tops, or even to hang my Tshirts…but I do organize by color/type of shirt. And if I had big drawers for socks/undies instead of my teensy tiny drawers, they would certainly look like yours. I have the same shoe rack, but it’s kind of buckling under the weight of all the (organized) shoes I tried to cram on it.
I think my OCD comes out to play in the form of plastic storage containers…

@mamaspohr, I have to agree- the fact that she uses a desk organizer for her hair stuff was it for me.

Oooohhhhh crap.
You are one of my best friends, Jen.
WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT SO DIFFICULT WITH THIS MADDNESS!
I totally have closet OCD. The rest of my house can be in total disarray, but if the shirts in my closet aren’t in my specific color order, oh, it is not pretty. I would rather have all my clothes in a rumpled heap on the floor than in the closet the wrong way. I don’t know why.

Holy SHIT, Jen. For real. Will you come organize my closet? I’d take pictures of it but I’ll have to hide the stray vibrators first.

I wish you could buy this particular kind of OCD…
@IzzyMom,
My sentiments exactly!!

Next time we are all together I’m staging an intervention. Or better yet, I’ll let you loose in my place. BTW – I’m going to email you a picture of my closet — I’ll be I’ll hear the screams way up her in Canada.
That’s me in theory. IRL I suck at that.
I wish I had that kind of OCD habit. Could I pay you to come to my house and make my closets like that? I’m jealous.
Camisole sets are a sexy addition to any woman’s wardrobe, but they are very versatile, too. You can wear them underneath your outfit to keep you warm and feeling or you can wear them alone in the evening as a sexy piece of lingerie. When buying a camisole set, try to find one in which you feel comfortable and sexy. If you do, you’ll get a lot of use out of it.
