Household meme, taken from
winterlive and elsewhere. Behold my generic domesticity!
1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?
Everything from Jonah's Johnson & Johnson to the Lush I splurged on in Arizona
2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
Watermelon was so last week. This week is blackberries and red grapes.
3. Is there anything moldy in your refrigerator?
No because the men in my life eat me out of house and home.
4. What would you change about your living room?
Make it larger, replace the media center, put the printer I moved in for "just a sec" back to the office space.
5. Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty?
It's 2012 and I have no dishwasher. Hands only, baby. I'm soaking in it.
6. Do you have a can of mushrooms in your pantry?
Mushrooms should only be fresh and they should only be exotic.
7. White or wheat/brown bread?
Wheat or pumpernickel
8. What is on top of your refrigerator?
A punch bowl. Cereal. Straws. Leftover birthday napkins.

Champagne and dark red muted print.
10. What color or design is on your shower curtain?
White with white applique.
11. How many plants are in your home?

12. How many candles are in your home?
Zero decorative, a few tapers in a drawer for power outages.

Black and shiny because it's new.
15. Electric or standard can opener?
Both and I can barely work either.
16. Comet or Soft Scrub?

Jonah's is downright regimented. My shoes are organized (the fancy ones are in boxes) but I've got skorts mixed with tops and I don't care!
18. What color is the flashlight that you use the most?
Yellow? I think? I rarely do (and when I do, I always think, "In England they call it a torch!").

Coupons, notepads, string, scissors, a Snow-Man kit that I got from Pottery Barn and never used, glitter.
20. Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home?
Plastic. I have a china cabinet full of my mother's crystal, and I prefer to drink out of Eskimo Joe's and Irma's Burger Shack cups.
21. Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now?
Yes. I think it's in the Oklahoma housing code.

Purple glitter
29. Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch?
A rubber mat topped with last year's JOY holiday mat. Sigh. Yes, I know.

Oven cleaner. I made brownies yesterday, not realizing Caza had a frozen pizza incident.
31. Is your microwave clean or dirty?
Clean -- I do that Martha Stewart thing with lemons.
32. Is there anything under your bed?
A dachshund and a German Shepherd/Lab mix. It's their spot.
33. Chore you hate doing the most?
Washing dishes (see above re: dishwasher and lack thereof).

Antique dresser, wash stand and china cabinet.

None
42. Do you have a peephole in your front door?

44. What does your home smell like right now?
Jonah's Disney Princess bubble bath
45. Favorite candle scent?
I sometimes get Christmas cookie scented ones in December. I'm not a big scented candle person.

Dill spears, spicy bread'n'butter, homemade salt pickles from my hometown.
47. Who are in the pictures you displayed?

48. What color is your favorite bible?
We have many, many bibles, and my favorite is my grandmother's but I have no idea what color it is. Leather something?
