I like things closed
Monk makes me feel like I’m crazy for liking things to be where they go. Just because I want to change the umbrella so it's facing the same way as all the other umbrellas doesn't mean I belong in a psychiatric ward!
As of last night I had to choose between feeling totally insane and continuing to feed my Monk addiction. I picked feeding my Monk addiction and today I’m feeling 100% insane to pay for it. (As a side note I also feel nauseous ALL THE TIME but I picked taking my “get pregnant now” pills over feeling good. Does that count as masochism? No, I didn't think so either.)
Today I just keep thinking about the things that really should be closed:
My desk drawer.
The lid to the copy machine (stop leaving it up people!!! It's not a toy!)
The shower curtain.
The toilet lid.
In fact, most everything in the bathroom should be closed. Let’s just leave it at that.
The kitchen cupboards.
My eyes.
The dresser drawer.
My task list.
The bill from the phone company.
What can I say? I just like things closed and that is not a disorder!

ReplyDeleteim just like that.. if things aren't in their place it will drive me nuts and ill be in a bad mood.. whoops!
ReplyDeletealso i would so pick the "get pregnant now pill" than feel good.. :)
Im glad Im not the only one! My little 'quirk' is super bad though where I will go to SOMEONE ELSE'S house and start closing things... cupboards.. drawers... toliet seats (only if I have to go to the bathroom.. I don't just run into all of their bathrooms to make sure the lid is shut ;) ) And I love the term, "get pregnant now" pills :) Your blog cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteDefinatly NOT a disorder! I am the same way, and I'm afraid I have passed it onto my son who's only 22-months old! YIKES!
ReplyDeleteLet's keep everything in order and nobody will get hurt!
I am there with you. Spencer often makes fun of my monkishness. Last night, just after we finally got to bed, I was trying extremely hard to resist the urge to jump out of bed and fix the unevenly spaced hangers in my closet. AHHHH!! I REALLY like things when they are closed and in place. Call me Monk if you will.
ReplyDeleteLol. If it makes you feel any better, my family calls me the Monk of the Platt family. It's insane really. I'm like that 100%. Sooo...yeah. AND! I love Monk :D He's GREAT!!

ReplyDeleteDo you want to come over and monkify my house? I'm busy sleeping on the couch and giving Ryann more things to make messes of. I appreciate orderliness but I ran out of ooomph or umph or however you want to spell that word that sounds like a grunt full of energy.
