latent towel folding neurosis
let me start by saying, my mother is a clean freak with a strict aesthetic. growing up i remember that on any given day, if you walked down the hall and opened the linen closet, you'd see perfect stacks of towels tied in batches of three with ribbon. it was that bad.
so this afternoon, pulling the towels out of the dryer, i suddenly became aware of something about myself i never noticed before...
i pull out the towels, dump them in a pile on the couch, fold each towel in half once the long way and then in thirds so they stack nicely.
then i promptly pick them up, carry them into the back bathroom, unfold them, then re-fold them in thirds the long way and drape them over the towel rod.
as i pointed this out to my roommate, i realized how ludicrous this is. laughing so hard her tea starts to spill out of her cup, she asks wryly, "would you like some ribbon? i have some..."
bugger. one more thing. i thought my dinner plate organization was bad enough.
