Obsessive?

I like to work puzzles. My Mom was the same. I noticed my obsessive-compulsive behavior (of course I did not know it had a name back then) when I would work a book of fill-it-in puzzles. I refused to enter and cross off a word unless I went in order (or down the line, so to speak). This meant all the three letter words had to be placed in the puzzle before I moved onto the four letter words, etc... It was a great exercise in memory. The puzzles with numbers was especially challenging. LOL!

I have a book (above) of picture puzzles where you find the difference. I refuse to move on to the next puzzle until I have discovered all of the differences in the puzzle before it. It can be maddening. I do the same with word search puzzles. I have to find them in order and refuse to move ahead. Would this be obsessive compulsive? I guess it would.

Dated daisies


Playing with Paint Shop Pro, Jasc Paint Shop Photo Studio and Irfanview to create a moody, old fashioned field of daisies. I save my pictures often so that if it gets too far out of hand I can go back to the point where I liked it last.

My daughter is into the movie Girl Interrupted. She was watching a documentary this afternoon on Angelina Jolie. Does anyone else get the impression that she is going to dump Pitt the same way she did Miller and Thornton? Has Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston started a club for women who had their man stolen by Jolie? I am not sure if Jolie resembles Elizabeth Taylor or Mia Farrow more? Not physically. And, why am I wasting my time on this fluff?

I am so lame when it comes to the popular television shows. While doing the daily crossword puzzle in the paper, the clue was American _ _ _ _. I subscribed to the magazine American Girl when I was young and that is what I thought of. Of course after a while I realized it was idol. Good grief!

Here are the daisies as I took the photo yesterday.
