Spring Cleaning vs. OCD?
Posted by Nina on Mar 29, 2007
I think I have written before about how OCD I am about cleaning and organizing. Some of you thought I wasn’t as serious…….. Just so you know.. this is a REAL email I sent to a friend just a few mins ago… I told you I wasn’t kidding. And as I am sitting here, I am contemplating baking brownies and organizing our computer room. I think I need help.

aww thank you!
Do you have a flickr? If you do whats your name? I’ll friend you
I might even make a group for our WW chat. Katie is already a friend of mine there
I have so many pics I need to upload there… I’ve been crazy busy today .. I’m always a clean freak when i get nervous (I’m paranoid about people i love flying since 9-11…. so thats probably why I am in Martha Stewart mode)… if you ever watch Desperate Housewives.. I am TOTALLY Bree! lol When panic sets in I am baking pies and cleaning house and making gift baskets for all my friends………
Today I even windex’d the patio doors………. I live in an apartment………………………….. WHO DOES THAT?! ME! lol I keep thinking I need to run the carpet cleaner but.. we have a free carpet cleaning that I can use any time so I am thinking that might be a little over kill since they will come in and professionally clean it………….. but then again…….. maybe not.. you can never be too clean. (and the fact that I am a Virgo probably doesn’t help this obsessive compulsive cleaning habit) I’m debating on organizing the linen closet…… its not ‘out of order’ but just not up to my standards of organized.. you know, all the labels aren’t facing front and some of the towels are put in a wrong direction… does that make me sound crazy? Probably… I usually don’t clean the bathroom or take out the trash (thats my husbands chores, everything else I do) but today I did.. it didn’t really need it but I thought I needed more chores to do.
I found a CUTE pair of spring shoes I had in my closet that I had totally forgotten about and have never worn! Isn’t spring cleaning fun?! You can say a LOT about myself and my house.. but one thing you cannot say is it isn’t clean.
