Alabama Bound

Sometime tomorrow we'll pull out and head to Alabama and see the folks! I'm looking forward to it. Haven't been there in quite a while, it seems. Life has been so busy for every single one of us, it just hasn't worked out.

I probably won't be on the blog until I get there, and then maybe we can post a couple pictures of the family, or something.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

BTW (by the way), I hear that I need to explain my previous post. I understand that there are a few people who do not know what O.C.D. is. It is called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. While there are some people who have a serious mental condition of such obsessions and compulsive behaviors, I referred to it only as a joke. If you didn't get the comic strip, it is referring to how neatly the left spider's web is lined up - as opposed to the other web's messy construction. O.C.D for us only means that you want things a certain way or do them a particular way for a particular purpose. My OCD behavior is that all the corners of every towel I fold need to be perfectly aligned.

Any other behaviors out there anyone cares to share?

who, pray tell, in the Prince family doesn't know 'bout CDO, I mean OCD?!

I love the show MONK, about an OCD detective. He makes me look well!

You didn't tell any of YOUR behaviors, Joan. To be honest, I have more than one. A MAJOR one is loading the utensil tray in my dishwasher. I start at one end and put one in each divided section, then come back up from the other end adding one each time. OK, I know I'm nuts - but it's just the way I like it done. I'm with Anita on the towels - but add to that I DON'T want it inside out! That's all I'll share at the moment!

We have arrived safely. We'll post pictures soon.

I did tell one of my CDO, I mean, OCDings, think it's after this post -- about light switches. I also COUNT everything, tiles, panels, steps, seconds. But not so much if I'm not overly stressed. God has brought me a MIGHTY long way!

Guess I forgot about the light switches. I remember you telling of that - and Amy's smile. Just knew there were MORE. I love you regardless of the quirks . . . especially since I want to be loved in spite of all of MY quirks!
