The limits of my perfectionism

September 7, 2007 – 12:22 pm |

I freely admit there are certain things I have to have ‘just so’. Various daily routines and work issues need to be handled in a specific manner with a practical, programmatic approach. As I’ve surely mentioned, this common trait of those born under the sign of Virgo did not skip over me.

Strangely though, this kind of focus on the details does not translate to hanging pictures or shelving. Much to my Virgo husband’s dismay, I will happily pound three random holes in the wall to hang one painting without even blinking. Who has time to measure?

Am I alone in this?
