I have to know where everything is. Restaurants, gas stations ect.
Thank god for the internet! And the maps! And the birdseye view!

You should get the book "The Next Exit". It's a great traveling book at least on interstates and highways in the US. It lists each exit and tells you what stores, gas stations, hotels, shopping, and restaurants are on that exit.

Spices-alpha order.
Everthing organized-makes life so much easier (wish I knew that when I was younger).
Cook something, clean up, make next thing-clean up,etc.
Lists-many and in order and mark off as done, then new list.
Closets-color order-had a consignment shop and ran it that way-everything color co-ordinated along w/size.
Soups/vegs in pantry-alpha order and together.

Funny thing is my daughter is NOT this way but all my grand-daughters are and we work well together-drives my daughter crazy.

Maybe I need a life!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you want to come help me? I used to be so organized now I am in chaos. We just moved into our house and we are still doing construction. It looks like a war zone.

My kids are grown, yet I still correct their grammar... both conversational and written.

I douse my meatloaf with ketchup, toss in potatoes, then smash it all with a fork to make a chunky paste.

All bills in my wallet are faced and in ascending numerical order. (my Dad the banker taught me to always face my bills)

I can't be around the smell of vinegar. If there's something super vinegary at the table, I'll eat in another room.

Every little kid I meet WILL be taught to pull my finger. No exceptions.

I won't let you put ice in my glass at your house, because I must always wash the freezer taste off of ice with tap water before pouring anything into the glass. And no matter what you say, there's always freezer taste on your ice. You don't notice it because you're used to it. I always notice it.

I can't stand the sound or feel of bare feet rubbing on concrete. If someone is sitting and swinging their feet so the soles rub across the concrete surface, I have to leave.

I can't stand it when cats repeatedly rub against my legs, lick me with their nasty sandpaper tongue, or do that dough kneading thing on me with their paws.

If people pepper their conversation with too many y'knows, ums, likes, rights, and all the other annoying conversational space fillers, I either tune out or leave them talking to themselves.

I could go on.....

We share these Pet Peaves!

I can't stand hair in the bathroom sink. I also get grossed out when I see hair on people's clothes. Placemats have to be straight, and I can't go to bed until the sink is cleared of dishes.

Know what's worse? Hair in the kitchen sink. Eeeeeewwwwww.

And DO NOT touch me on the head...that freaks me out.

One of my quirks is that I eat my favorite breakfast cereal--Alpha-bits--in alphabetical order.
