This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 01, 2008:

Folded towels. I know it's stupid, but I can't help it, and I will come out of the towel closet right now, and say I love a well-folded towel. When my husband gets to the dryer before me and folds them first, I wait until he's not looking, then refold them all because he doesn't care about towel-folding and I do, and I know it's too trivial a thing to even mention. But I can't bear to see edges showing, and I like them to be all the same size when folded, all stacked neatly on their shelf. When I go to someone else's house and use their bathroom and see towels like that, I think WOW--now THERE'S good towel. I know it's odd, I know it doesn't matter how towels get folded, but I don't care...a well-folded towel just makes me feel good inside, like all's well with the world. Maybe I've been possessed by a demon who's a fan of Martha Stewart, who knows? But meanwhile my towels look gooooood.....

I'm the QUEEN of folding fitted sheets LOL but for some reason I couldn't care less how they're folded. My husband and daughter just wad them into balls and stick them into the bathroom closet (if they bother at all) and that doesn't bother me.


They're not TOWELS you see.

Whew, that's good. I bet Marthas demon friend of fitted sheets is mean. Much better you hang with the towel one.      j

you are too cute.  a kindred spirit…but i am like that with jeans and shirts.  it drives me nuts to go to a store all the shirts are falling off the shelves and slopppy.  i think it has more to do with me just being a neat freak :)

Desi, we should go shopping together! LOL Nobody in my family seems to understand why I'm bothered by piles of clothes or seeing things thrown on the floor.

Oddly, I'm not a neat freak at all (my home is testament to that) but *some* things I need to have *just so*.  Hmm…
