Obsessive Compulsive Planning Behavior..

[kikipug]

I am planning to start watching for dresses for the formal nights now.

I am planning to lose 22 lbs before then... but the longer I sit her and stay glued to the DIS Boards, the less weight I am going to lose. Looks like I may be shopping for the same size dress as I'm wearing now!!!!

kikipug..Thats the way to do. No stress.

As for the dresses. We went to Dillards and Hechts. They have GREAT clearance sales in a variety of sizes. If you go now they will be getting rid of the winter stuff. If you wait it will be prom season and the prices will be UP! Also David's bridalhas mix and match items. No to pricey either. We have been looking for wedding gowns and brides maid dresses (up coming wedding in Sept 05) and found that some bridal shops have discounted gowns on sale, very reasonable and not at all bridemaidey (is that a word). Anyway you get my point.

I have clearance formalware shopping down to a science, between cruises, political events, and past business functions. Actually, I could do quite a few cruises just by raiding my closet. (But I'm bored with some of that stuff now.)... hmmm... a DISboard formalware swap????

Pfishgirl.. I had to copy your signature. I loved it. I just could not stop laughing. It is like some of my groups. Not that I am making fun of some of my clients, but really this was so funny. We have our own 12 step program. One step a month till you get on the cruise, then start all over. YEAH! My kind of plan.

Hey Maybe the Tag Fairy will visit me and use that as my tag

Well I can dream can't I??

I think there are ALOT of us that need that type of signature line, and maybe we will even get our own Board ??

OK so Now I am going a little overboard with this..

ewww, I just LOVE all these little icon things, too bad it took me this long to figure out that there are more then just what's in that little box over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sad thing is... I actually HAVE Obsessive Compulsive Behavior..
The DR told me that because I Wash my hands and Brush my teeth TOO many times each day. The dentist already gave me enamel treatments twice but, I have to practice really hard not to do it as much..

Oh No, I just realized something else... I am addicted to posting on these boards..

 

[faireygod mother]

I think those little icons help tell the story, at least for me. I laugh at my own stuff, and I figure that is really all that matters.

Hello My Name is Mary and I have Obessive Compulsive Planning Disorder

This thread is too funny

I can totally relate... especially since I am home after having a baby in November. He has most of his feeding in front of the computer so I check the board a few times a day. I don't know how I kept up to date before I had him and worked without the opportunity to check the computer until the evening.

Now that my cruise is appoaching quickly I have become more obsessed than ever.

 

[faireygod mother]

Welcome and congradulations on your new baby.

Hello, my name is STILL Karen, and I STILL have Obsessive Compulsive Planning Disorder!

The days just aren't ticking down fast enough... especially because one of my employees is leaving on a cruise tomorrow!!!! (Not a DCL, but a cruise nonetheless)

I too am a compulsive planner. My only advise is to plan, plan, plan....but when you get on the ship, live by the moment. I almost didn't enjoy part of my cruise because I couldn't relax and quit trying to do everything and plan everyone's schedule. When they announce your name and you enter the ship, put the plans in the back of your mind and LIVE!!!

 

[faireygod mother]

I agree. Plan like a fool now then sit back and reap the benefits when you get on the ship.

My husband thinks I'm a little crazy for all the research I do before we go on vacation-- DIS boards, guide books. But when we actually go on our trip he sees how it pays off because I know all of our options and we don't come home feeling like "I wish I knew about ____" Doing all this planning helps me enjoy my vacations more.

(How's that for rationalization)

 

[American Scrapper]

scrappermcl, I think that is a very good rational. I do the same and on our first cruise my DH thought I was crazy for all of the time I spent on the boards, but when we got on board I think he really appreciated all of my research. We felt very comfortable on the ship and did not feel like we were too overwhelmed.

American Scrapper-- I love your screen-name! I guess you are a fellow scrapbooker?

 

[American Scrapper]

Thanks! Yes I also have that disorder! Sometimes it is hard to balance the two. I have been spending more time on the boards the scrapping lately becaue I lost my old screen name password & had to create a new name. I was going through withdrawl from posting and had lost all of my history, so now I am posting like crazy trying to become a Mousketeer again! LOL!! Doesn't sound too much like an addiction huh?

Welcome back fellow scrapbookers and obsessiers. I am so far behind on my scrapbooking. It is a shame. I have started making lists of things to do and am going to put dates next to each item to keep me focused. Otherwise I get on these boards and loose all track of time.

 

[pfishgirl]

Oh My Gosh I was having SUCH a nervous breakdown last night.. I was not able to get into these boards. It just kept telling me ERROR no such web link... But Now I saw the post that said we may have problems ALL wekend..What am I going to do ?????

 

[cristit14]

If only I could cut it down to a daily habit, as opposed to an hourly one!

Me too! On my days off, I am on here all of the time. It makes it hard to get anything done around the house.

 

[LAMPSKIES]

When you get to 1500 posts on these boards.....what does that make you? LOL Have our 5th sailing (2nd annual Turkey Day sailing) and 6th sailing Christmas 06....that's compulssive, but it give ya something to look foreward to.
