Just Right
The Napkins: hand-shuffled together, perfectly placed in the holder with the folded side up, centered vertically and horizontally on the island. Just Right.
My Socks: Matching pairs, with their mate snuggled close together, placed perfectly in the drawer like sardines. Just Right. (Unlike my unfolded underwear draw, which allows bras, special undies and once-a-month pairs to intermingle like guests at a cocktail party).
Sleeping: My pillows placed one on top of the other, open-pillow case end towards the wall, fitted sheet pulled tight, hair in a bun, on stomach, one leg bent at a 90 degree angle, one leg and arm straight, other arm under pillow which allows for a tad of extra head elevation and therefore better breathing (only through the nose), and a Honey will you please fluff the blanket, turn the fan on medium, and close the door only 3/4 of the way??? In that order...Thanks honey! Just Right.
Milk: Only in a plastic cup...Never, Never in a glass, sometimes with ice depending on temperature of the fridge, which is determined by amount of groceries available within. Just Right.

Hi Stacey. I'm a complete stranger from Ohio, but a sister in
Christ. I was browsing as I frequently do after reading my friends' blogs & I stumbled on yours. I only read the last two posts and just needed to say how beautiful and encouraging your words are! Thanks.

I love how you are so particular with how you sleep! And if it's not just right you can't sleep, huh?

Isn't it great when we can relish the simple things in life, like socks snuggled up and hair in a bun? :) thanks for sharing!

Hi Stacey... Just wanted to say thanks for your comments at my blog about Napoleon Dynamite--I was so happy to find others who enjoyed this movie and I'm extra-glad to hear that your students liked it, too! Have you seen the skit which the Skit Guys put together using scenes from Napoleon? If not, here it is:

I just wanted to make sure you had a chance to watch it--it's funny stuff. I'll return to your blog--you have some great posts here and I enjoy your writing style. Thanks again and God bless... Debra

I am not as particular about anything. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants hope the socks fold themselves kind of girl.
I don't drink milk because of plastic cups. When I was young we drank out of plastic cups and they always retained the odour of milk from years gone by. They always seemed sour to me no matter how clean it was. I always drink from a glass container, always.

Thank you for your thoughts at my blog. THEY were just right. And just what I needed to hear. The weather's icky, we've had a strange day......and I didn't get to make anything to take tonight.....so I was thinking of not going......but instead, I'll hold fast and go.
Happy Friday!

Wow- we have much in common. There is no way I will sleep in an unmade bed. My husband thinks I am nuts. I also have many, many issues with hotels (need to bring my own pillowcases, won't step on the carpet with bare feet, and don't you dare get near me with that bedspread...you get the anal picture)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope you have a great evening:-)

Wow, after reading this I feel like such a slob. My socks and underwear are tossed in a drawer as if I'm going to play bingo. My bed is never made unless I change the sheets. Yes, I'm a slob and proud of it...hehe.

How funny about your sleeping. For us, Kathy and I have never shared blankets. We each have to have our own. In fact in the winter, we each have our own king size down quilt to snuggle in, on top of the warmy warm waterbed. When we leave for work we put our play clothes under the quilts so we can pull on warm jeans when we get home.
