This is a neat thread, I'm also obsessed with to-do lists and I will totally write stuff I've already done on them just to cross them off! 
I'm obsessed with order in the house. I made a cleaning schedule which hangs up and each day of the week a different room gets scoured top to bottom. (Reflecting on this, it's actually kind of funny that there's a schedule, considering it's only me who does the cleaning. It's not like I can't remember that Mondays are kitchen days, Tuesdays are living room, etc. Why do I need the schedule???)
And I totally freak out if...ok WHEN...my hubs leaves his stuff lying around everywhere. I also created a binder notebook with a year's worth of organizing/decorating projects for the house. Hubs was super-excited when he saw that
My sponsor said it's my control-freak coming out. As long as I don't let my mental well-being for the day depend upon those to-do lists and cleaning, then it's perfectly normal. I'm off to make a list of my neuroses...lol

And presenting myself to checkers and stuff at the store as to how great everythings going. Like they say "How are you?" and I respond with something dorkish like " Icouldn't be better, life is great, how are you?" If I was next in line behind myself I'd strangle me. I hope to recover from early sobriety. By the way, Life is great, couldn't be better.
To all who don't know about the power of GREEN SMOOTHIES do a bit of research on t'interweb.
Best things to detox with too...
ONWARDS!
