Obsessed
That's what I am.
Sometimes.
Over certain things.
I can't help it.
That's how I am.
Organized...very much so.
Honestly I don't know where I first heard the expression, "there's a place for everything and everything in it's place" but I am convinced that I'm related to them. Ask me where a certain thing is in the house, the utility room, the garage and I can tell you precisely where it is.
I'm also good at numbers.
I have a good memory as well.
I see/read something and I can tell you where it is on the page...left hand side, right hand side.
I picture it.
I can see it.
This talent (?) made my job at the bank simple. Helping create the screens that the end users worked with, when they called for help, I could picture where the specific field was on the screen and walk them right through their problem.
However, sometimes obsessed is not a good thing.
An example?
I planted seeds in my perennial garden the other day, scratching the soil and watering them in ever so tenderly. Seeds that I brought with me from Virginia.
I went to the gym for my workout and when I got home there was a surprise.
The Pres put down the mulch we bought.
Yep.
On top of my seeds.
Ask me how happy I was.
Go ahead.
Just ask.

my obession is everything where it belongs. like this morning the salt and pepper shakers were out on the edge of the counter, not up agains the back splash where they sit. bob made eggs, used them and sat them down right on the edge of the counter and left them there. i moved them to the exact spot they live in. same with anything on the counters, which i would love to have empty, but the coffee pot is necessary, but it does have a spot marked to sit and he wants to know how i know, because i do
I love that you talk about great things to be obsessed with and not-so-great things.
I'm obsessed with Seeing Beautiful. It's really fantastic!
Happy seeing beautiful!
I'm obsessed and not proud of it. I think I even obsess in my sleep.

Speaking of seeds, why are some plants, called 'bedding' plants? Why do they not supply, pillows and bedsheets with said plants?
Speaking of numbers, I'm quick at totalling up numbers, 'I hasten to add'...
Seriously, all the best with this incredible challenge that brings further awareness of the alphabet!:)

I saved seeds from the marigolds you gave me last year that came up so well, and will be replanting them in the garden this year :-)
SOME of the obsessive stuff...remembering right where things are...i think comes from the being a mom thing...
I'm sorry to hear mulch was put down on top of your seeds!
