I have a tub of clothes that should be hung up but are in our storage locker. I haven't looked at them in years and I should get rid of them because I'm sure they would be out of style and not fit me anyway.<br />I can't imagine you as a slob but if you say it was so I'll believe you. I'm always amazed at how much "adult development" there is for everyone. We don't stop changing when we become adults we just keep growing and changing right up till our deaths.<br />And word verification word is "subtness" hmmmm wonder what the universe is trying to tell me with that one?Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-56050886598797847532011-06-13T19:32:33.082-05:002011-06-13T19:32:33.082-05:00APG - Aren't we all strange?

I don't know of anyone who has a better diet than you now.<br /><br />Susan - Washes the gravel in his gravel walkways, huh? Ooof. Sort like my aunt who ironed her husband's and son's (she had 4 boys) undershirts, underpants and socks!<br /><br />Jen - The walk in closet might not do the trick. I have a daughter with a large walk in closet which she refers to as the "walk on closet" because of all the stuff on the floor!<br /><br />Erin - Simply can't believe you were EVER anything less than an organized, OCD, card carrying neat freak!

And would you believe that I too, was ...I love it! And would you believe that I too, was just as you described, only with jeans instead of dresses! I had a "clean" pile and a "dirty" pile, so they were separate, but that's about it. I even did my own laundry and it was still that way. Draped over chairs or bookcases. I had a walk in closet in the farmhouse that was to-die for, had those swinging style saloon doors on it and I STILL didn't hang stuff up, just kicked my shoes into a pile under it and draped stuff over the doors LOL. It's true, and I can't explain my current OCD, either, there was no "traumatic" event that caused it, I just grew up I guess! Funny that I used to love to clean the house when I was a teenager, just not my room :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-53666767195457236072011-06-13T13:33:58.237-05:002011-06-13T13:33:58.237-05:00It must just be a phase because I was the same way...It must just be a phase because I was the same way! LOL Why put away something when you know that you will wear it again...sometime? When you will use it again...sometime? Some of the problem for me was simply too much stuff in not enough space too. I am much better now that I am keeping my own house, but I admit that I always have a very messy corner in my bedroom... if only I had a walk in closet!!!!Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-27103099324933275912011-06-13T10:20:40.129-05:002011-06-13T10:20:40.129-05:00NO!

I am, after all, the eldest daughter of the woman who hates clutter and the man who washes the gravel in his gravel walkways. However, I have 'loosened up'.

School lunch would be nachos and pop (I blame the school for that - why was that even an option) I would skip the home cooked dinner for a bag of cheese puffs and pop. I **gasp** smoked! Ugh. And now I am a health nut and cant even eat at someone elses house because I worry what is in the food. Is is conventional, GMO, Pesticides, organic, no HFCS, etc. Oh how the tides turn.Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-13369326038614939492011-06-13T10:03:05.345-05:002011-06-13T10:03:05.345-05:00Cute story!

I think more than anything I hate when 'someone' puts his dirties next to the bin as opposed to IN the bin.
