Obsessive Compulsive...

I have come to realize that I am obsessive compulsive about doing my laundry. Let me first explain that I have more clothes than any other guy ever. I go about a 3 weeks without doing my laundry. When I finally do, I want to clean every last piece of clothing. I literally plan my outfits around it. I will separate my huge 3 week pile of clothes into about 6 different loads. Then if I start out with the white load first, I can't wear anything white until all the laundry is done. If I do, then that white shirt will be left sitting in the hamper after the wash is done. I need to have a full arsenal of clothing. Ever last piece but the clothes I am wearing is clean. I can choose from everything.

Now, I feel the need to tell you that I have already done the Blue Load today and the Whites Load today. The piles remaining to be washed: Brown Load, and the Green/Towels load. So I had to plan out what to wear tomorrow. I will be wearing a khaki (brown) pair of pants, a brown shirt, green boxers, and brown dress socks.

Tomorrow is jean day at work. I will be passing on jean day and will be wearing khakis, just so that it will work out with my laundry schedule.

    ok.....not that it's really "funny" but it's funny.....I obsess over laundry too. I have much less clothing than the average female....because I hate doing laundry. I've got it down to 2 loads a week....whites and darks. Once every 6 weeks I do my Church cloths. This is good shopping skills on my behalf. :o) I also hate shopping!! I wear jeans and white tshits and for work I wear black pants and a tshirt and my red biking jacket. It's great being self employed and working with dogs all day!!

    you are a freak. now i will clarify and say that you are not obsessive compulsive, you are anal. now, there is nothing wrong with being anal...except that everything thinks you a freak. trust me, i know.

    i would like it noted that i have called two times in the last two days to talk, and you weren't there. both times i was ready to talk for a long period of time. so there.

    just for that, i'm going to the beach to sun my pale ass.

    I do laundry as soon as I have 3/4's of a load. I don't wait for a full washer full.

    I don't seperate my lights and darks. I wash them all on warm/cold. I dry everything on high heat.

    I wear some random piece of clothing while doing laundry so that all my "favorite" pieces will be washed when I am complete.

    I enjoy washing, drying, and folding laundry - which is good, because I wash about 3-4 loads a week. (And yes, I make that much laundry - based on working out, working, and going out.)

    I fill my lil laundry bag till it's Monday (my sceduled day to use the washer/dryer in this house full of people), then I smoosh it all into one or two loads.

    I use cold water to save colors from running so all is good.

    Perhaps I am not obsesive enough.

    Yes, that is a bit scary. No worse than me not being able to sleep if our blue and green dishes are not alternated every other color so it looks neat when you open the cupboard door.
