So I have my tupperware organized nice and neatly along with my plates, cups and everything else.
I put my clothes away by style and color.
I keep my pantry organized as well
You can open a cabinet and know exactly where something goes
I want a red shirt, I go to the red section of my closet.

Sounds like OCD to me.

Nice rant.
Not to put too fina a point on it but you do sound a little OCDish... just saying.
You actually color coded your closet?
I agree with you about your husband though, he just doesn't want to put the dishes away. None of us do.

If I alphabetized my pantry then yea I'd agree lol
I use to alphabetize my DVDs but I had hundreds so it made it easier to find them. I don't do that anymore. I barely have any DVDs but the ones I do have are still organized.

Understandable, I worked retail for many years as well. I don't color code but do try to hang shirts with shirts, etc. Also put my dishes away but only to keep the kitchen neat.
Don't have a problem finding things wherever they are though, probably cause I don't have much stuff anymore. Makes things much nicer IMO.

i do understand the need for organization, am i good at it? No. But i wonder about the people that feel the need to organize everything. For instance I wear pants most of the time and when i wear shorts im either barefoot or in flip flops. When I wear my pants is it necessary to match my socks as long as they both make it over the top of my shoes/boots what does it matter if they match? And then I think how much time in this world is wasted matching socks up?
I have saved at the least hours of my life by just throwing all my socks in a single drawer and grabbing two that fit. But then my girlfriend sees this and calls me a lazy slob/scub(not in a demeaning way more of jab/criticizing way).
So I ask you, how much time have you wasted not having "OCD"?
and by the way I truly believe in to each there own, not trying to convert or anything.
also i see your the resident chef i would be honored to swap some recipes, Im looking for some good ones for small children that i will enjoy as well. You have little ones, correct?

Amen OP! I catch abuse on a daily basis from my buddies about my need for order. From my house to my work cube, I don't feel comfortable unless things are in their rightful place. This isn't OCD, it's having enough self-respect to not live like a pig.
Keep it up OP!
