I have been a bit of a rigid neat-freak in the past, but after experiencing an obsessive ex, I decided it was time to for me to loosen up more (I never wanted to be like HIM!) and never let my love of organization cramp the style or comfort of people I love. The current state of my closet is proof that I have made much progress.

Clutter in my own home makes me very uncomfortable, though, so I try to keep things picked up and put away within a few days, at least. But what strikes me as really odd about myself is that I LOVE to sort little things such as seashells, buttons, beads, etc. as it's fun to see similar itemsPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529448801131672183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-34484657073007824652010-01-09T13:11:05.312-05:002010-01-09T13:11:05.312-05:00it is so difficult to live or work in an environme...it is so difficult to live or work in an environment with because they convince you that your 'messes' are lack of respect for others, lack of discipline and even lack of intelligence. yet when you break free from it and see that others are placing their stuff the same way as you, it is freeing. plus, no longer do you hear that constant nagging voice that you're always doing everything wrong wrong wrong. i hope your gf gets away. it takes more guts and strength to walk away than to fight then submit to the ridiculous,soul sucking situation. she'll lose herself.soodie ::https://www.blogger.com/profile/07685244187423698176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-81155975222210390682010-01-09T11:22:46.325-05:002010-01-09T11:22:46.325-05:00With your nose for sniffing crazy, I think you cou...With your nose for sniffing crazy, I think you could have a future as a "beats the hell out of therapy" dog.

I will say I'm a "clean freak" (but it's only because we live on a farm and get tons of dust and crap brought in from the barn if we don't take off our boots...you know, normal) not so much a neat freak but I used to be worse when I was growing up. I would babysit for the worse house keepers in the world and I mean dirty dishes in the sink with food left in them for days (that's the other extreme...PIG as you stated well) and by the time the parents arrived home it was all neat and tidy and the kids were shaped up as well doing little fun crafts instead of fighting! They even helped me clean up their rooms! They always thanked me for what I had done but somehow had this dazed look on their faces like "where's all my STUFF"!? Every time is was back to dirty....frustrating but I just couldn't stand being there for hours on end with it looking like that! My confession is design mags! Piles! I've been on a cleaning jag but my rooms will NEVER look like the photos you posted....it's called a balance and the ones who have to constantly clean up everything and everyone is truly a mess!! Hope your friend sees the light....and she's lucky to have you as her friend to tell her the truth in love! Have a wonderful unorganized weekend!

Oh my...I am OCD definitely. I HA...Hey Girlfriend,<br />Oh my...I am OCD definitely. I HAVE to have things organized and SUPER clean BUT I can pile a bit in my closet for a day or two and then It's all folded (underwear too) and put away. I organized for people as well as design. I am not terribly rigid though, in that when I have friends over I want them to feel welcome and wanted so I don't mind papers and magazines tossed around. BUT as soon as they leave, ALL is tidied up right away. I realize it's MY problem, heehee. I have gotten sooo much better and more loose as I have gotten older, because I realize in the grand scheme of life, most of my craziness doesn't matter for a hill of beans.<br />Great post. I like your twist on this as I was thinking of a post about organizing!<br /><br />love and hugs!<br /><br />RRenae Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083827332206881787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-48700090365883281792010-01-08T18:34:00.483-05:002010-01-08T18:34:00.483-05:00i am so with you. these spaces would make me crazy...i am so with you. these spaces would make me crazy.. i am a clean freak but love my "mess" here and there... a place has to look lived in... my friend "mikie's" pooch... benjamo... he is a real character...<br />xx pamred tickinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400289072356876224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-49715712897506817482010-01-08T18:16:30.834-05:002010-01-08T18:16:30.834-05:00granny smith
