I also eat my M&Ms in order: I'll take out a handful and eat them in this order: Brown, blue (because it's not an original color), orange, red, yellow, green. <BR/><BR/>So yeah, I'm with ya.die Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269442912640747892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-90129042807074373302009-01-09T10:36:00.000-06:002009-01-09T10:36:00.000-06:00OCD, it's easy as 1-2-3!OCD, it's easy as 1-2-3!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906259050690786314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-43370525322390551382009-01-08T15:52:00.000-06:002009-01-08T15:52:00.000-06:00Speaking of Fruit Loops, if you're eating a bowl o...Speaking of Fruit Loops, if you're eating a bowl of Fruit Loops, do you try to sort them in the bowl? Kinda hard to do when they're floating. <BR/><BR/>I recently realized that I need to touch things. I'm that person who can't walk down a long hall without running my hand along the wall. I can't walk by clothes in a store without touching them. So while your habit keeps things neat, mine probably makes a mess. Go figure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-23265008732362344112009-01-08T14:13:00.000-06:002009-01-08T14:13:00.000-06:00You are not a crazy sorter until you sit at a lunc...You are not a crazy sorter until you sit at a lunch table and sort your trail mix. I worked with a girl who did this every day. And after she sorted her raisins, peanuts, dates,banana chips, and sunflower seeds she had to eat them in a particular order (raisins wedged between the peanuts like a sandwich, one date, one banana chip, and leave all the sunflower seeds). If you sat at the table and ate your trail mix by the handful, it literally made her squirm. So sort your stuff as much as you like. I don't think I really sort much until it's so messy and then it needs to be sorted.Strongmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902430403926790991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-27264854587010975782009-01-08T13:24:00.000-06:002009-01-08T13:24:00.000-06:00I am the EXACT same way.

I don't know that I'm as compulsive about it as you paint yourself to be...then again, there was that time you caught me sorting S's green beans on your kitchen counter...so maybe I am as compulsive as you are. <BR/><BR/>I have sorted the Papoose's crayons repeatedly in one sitting as she seems to "thrive on chaos" as the Husband puts it. I think it's just the classic toddler love of dumping and knocking over and mixing up. But it could be a strong Husband streak.<BR/><BR/>The Papoose has seemed to have her own ideas of sorting, even before she could sit up. We rarely (never?) see the pattern, but I swear the girl is so deliberate with her arrangement of things sometimes that you know she has some secret agenda. I actually fear she's growing out of that habit. It will be missed.<BR/><BR/>See, sorting's endearing. Someone will buy that, right?feather nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778477468709093359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-20832917859095474922009-01-08T10:12:00.000-06:002009-01-08T10:12:00.000-06:00I wouldn't say you sound like a TOTAL fruit loop, ...I wouldn't say you sound like a TOTAL fruit loop, just a nice gal with strong loop-tendencies. It's really not surprising though - look at how immaculate and beautiful your house is... you can't have a house that clean and not exhibit other OCD tendencies :)<BR/><BR/>I sort when I'm specifically organizing, but not just while going through the day. But again - that would be obvious if you saw my house!<BR/><BR/>I often wish that you could combine your strengths and weaknesses with your friends - so you could come sort my house and I could come do something for you that I'm talented at!Sarah Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890371606163976935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-14738531247137585252009-01-08T09:55:00.000-06:002009-01-08T09:55:00.000-06:00yes i sort. i call it organizing though. but do th...yes i sort. i call it organizing though. but do the same damn thing. T finds it a little neurotic. K organizes too but we can't figure out "did it come by nurture or nature?" his therapist seemed to really hone in on it... which made me feel weird.mo waskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01309883163517374580noreply@blogger.com
