Ok, so I'm kind of a Monica Geller

Scott likes to joke that I have OCD, I think I just have good sense, but whatever, semantics. He likes to say that I would call it CDO and not OCD because then the letters would be in the right order.

Anyway, I was talking to my MOM yesterday and we were talking about how we were both basically well adjusted normal women prior to getting married and having kids. Now we are both slightly neurotic and I am moments away from giving myself a great big hug in a white jacket on most days.

Now, I know I have weird quirks. For example, I cannot leave a room if the cabinet/drawer/anything really is slightly open. It has to be totally closed or I will obsess about it until it is closed (strange, I know). If part of your sleeve is turned up I will debate with myself, and subsequently not listen to what you are saying, on whether or not to reach over and fix it. The same goes for tags that stick out. In public restrooms when I wash my hands I have to push down on the paper towel thing 5 times, no more, no less. Seriously, I am borderline with having OCD.

So what is it that set me off yesterday? This....

Yes my friends, you are looking at a bottle of Powerade that has not even a sip left it in, in the fridge. I love my husband, I really do, but when he does this it makes me want to slam my head into a wall and scream "Why?!". I will say this though, he doesn't discriminate, he does this with tea, orange juice, well...any beverage really. Sometimes he will even move on to tubs of butter or jars of peanut butter. He's all about equal opportunity.

So why does this bother me so much? Well, quite simply, it's taking up space and chances are it will wind up in the back of the fridge and will not be rediscovered until I clean out the fridge. It makes me slightly manic. I know what you're thinking, throw it out, who cares? It's the simplest solution, however I don't want to waste that last sip. Seriously, I'm that cheap. So why don't I take that sip for the team? It grosses me out. I KNOW! I am married to the man, I kiss him, why can't I drink from a bottle he has? It grosses me out. I don't even like to share bottles of water with my kids. If they take a sip, I get a new bottle for myself.

Please tell me you are like this too. I don't care if you're lying at this point.

PS. Scott, you know I love you! Now drink that Powerade ;)

Multiples and More QOTW

Very seldom do I answer the QOTW at Multiples and More because I think it's weird to answer my own question, or one that Lani and I just talked about. But this week really wanted to share on this one, so here we go. This week was more of a writing prompt than a question:

Write a list of 10 surprising things about yourself

1. Scott and I dated less than a year before getting engaged, and we were married a year and a few weeks after we got engaged.
2. When the right sippy cup top isn't on the right sippy cup it throws my whole day off, I have to fix it. Some may call this OCD, I call it normal.
3. I could watch any and all episodes of Friends a million times and never get sick of them. Love that show!
4. I own the Lizzie McGuire Movie and think it's awesome. Don't judge, it's cute.
5. I never get my hair colored the same way, I always change something about it,
6. I will always stop channel surfing on the radio if I hear: "Don't Stop Believing", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Layla", any Beatles song and "Gimme that Girl" by Joe Nichols.
7. I love to bake and hate to eat it. I think I ate enough sweets in my childhood.
8. I don't like beef, but always make an exception for the braised short ribs in France during Food and Wine. I literally want to die afterward, but it's so worth it. They are delicious!
9. I watch General Hospital, everyday. I've watched it since I was a kid.
10. The most romantic thing Scott has ever done for me is he had our wedding centerpieces recreated for our first anniversary. It was like recapturing a moment in time.
