Nah.... I completely understand. If I can't unbutton two buttons at the top, I won't buy the shirt. Leaving the bottom one unbuttoned make me feel like I'm not completely dressed.

I arrange all my color tubes at work by base color then level number.....styling products are arranged by container height.
I am in the process of organizing and cleaning my house. My environment. I have been very rattled for a long time as my chi is just totally disrupted. Now that I am organizing, I am feeling a great sense of peace and control. It is nice. And it's just clean and I know where things are. And I group things in a logical way, like you. After 2 boys who had no regard for my need for order, this is long overdue.

I also can't stop reading on a page with an uneven number.
Have to touch all the knobs on the kitchen stove and say "off, off, off, off" before going to bed.
Underwear has to match the shirt.
Have to have at least two jars of unopened peanut butter in the cabinet.
Shoes are arranged by heel height and alphabetized by color.
Dishes have to be cleaned as they are used, or rinsed and put in the dishwasher....can't leave them in the sink.

......hell, no wonder no one can live with me......I'm weird!!

My boss teases me relentlessly for being OCD, even though I'm more OCPD. I love organization. I hate messes. I love order. I can't stand chaos. I have a tendency to put things in groups of three, or color code my CD's. Clothes have to all be hung facing to the left, short sleeves to long sleeves. Books have to be graduated from tallest to smallest, even if it means breaking up a set. And if you move my figurines an iota, I will find out! A clean, organized house means for a happy Krystl. A messy, chaotic house is a sure way to bring the Twitch out...
