I stole this meme from Zandria, who stole it from someone else, who also stole it from someone...
What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?
Dove Unscented
Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
No. We rarely eat watermelon. Such a high-maintenance fruit.
What would you change about your living room?
I’d remove all the clutter, move the furniture around, hang a new pendant light in the corner, lay down a new area rug, put up some wooden or bamboo blinds, and change the curtains. Not much.
Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty?
We ran the dishwasher... whether or not the dishes are actually clean is another issue.
What is in your fridge?
Soy milk, apple juice, wildberry juice, soda water, apples, bok choy, cauliflower, kale, onions, garlic, pickled scapes, hot mustard, yogurt, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, parmesan cheese, butter, eggs, miso paste, sugar snap peas, flax bread...
White or wheat bread?
Uh, flax.
What is on top of your refrigerator?
A couple cans of spray adhesive and some clay... yeah, weird
What color or design is on your shower curtain?
Clear plastic shower curtain... really makes the room look bigger... not exactly private for the showerer though.
How many plants are in your home?
Let's see... lucky bamboo, jade, african violet, purple passion, mauna loa, buddhist fern, 2 orange trees.... so, 8.
Is your bed made right now?
No, but only because there is a little 3yo human snuggled in there sleeping at the moment.
Is your closet organized?
Yes, it’s about the only thing that’s organized in this house... other than my dishes and... yup, just the dishes...
Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home?
Glass... mugs to be exact. I almost always have a glass mug of hot green tea in my hand.
Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now?
No.
If you have a garage, is it cluttered?
To me, yes... to Roomie, his “car hole” is now decluttered to his satisfaction.
Curtains or blinds?
In the bedrooms, both. In the kitchen and bathroom, blinds. In the family room, curtains.
How many pillows do you sleep with?
Two, one stacked on top of the other... I’m with Zandria on this one.
Do you sleep with any lights on at night?
Only the light projection of the time on the ceiling...
How often do you vacuum?
Twice a month... I carpet sweep in between... we have mostly hardwood floors anyway.
Standard toothbrush or electric?
I drive standard, baby!
Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch?
No, but I’ve been eyeing those black rubber swirly patterned ones at the hardware store selling for $7.
What is in your oven right now?
A cookie sheet and a cast iron pan.
Is there anything under your bed?
Dustbunnies... I need to sweep again.
Chore you hate doing the most?
Dusting.... I’d hate it less if we had less crap to dust.
What retro items are in your home?
The crazy green lamp on the trunk in the family room.
Do you have a separate room that you use as an office?
We have an office but Roomie uses it to mark exams.

Yeah, we live in a clown house...

Yes, but no firearms.
What does your home smell like right now?
The candle I’m burning.
Favorite candle scent?
Partylite’s Hinoki Steam
Ever been on your roof?
No.
(Addendum: But the neighbours keep wondering why Roomie's on the roof again... maybe our version of the "doghouse"...)
How many TVs do you have?
3, and they were all free... the one in the bedroom we got from the travel agent who booked our honeymoon, the one in the family room was a discard from Roomie’s old place of employment, and the one in the livingroom we inherited from my MIL
(Correction: The TV in the family room was actually won by Roomie at an auction... I think it was less than $40.)
How many house phones?
1
(Clarification: 1 line but 5 phones strewn throughout the house.)
Do you have a housekeeper?
Wait, I’ll answer that when I stop laughing...
What style do you decorate in?
I lean toward natural, almost plantation-style decor... at least, I’m trying to... my island style is often thwarted by northern-European Roomie...
Do you like solid colors in furniture or prints?
Solids in dark colours.
Is there a smoke detector in your home?
Yes, we have 2.
(Correction: Roomie said we have 4... he's correct... for now...)
In case of fire, what are the items in your house which you’d grab if you only could make one quick trip?
My two little humans... if they were already out of the house, my cell phone and wallet.
I'm glad you decided to "steal" the meme along with me. It's interesting to see how our answers are similar in some ways and so very dissimilar in others. :)
ReplyDeleteFascinating, isn't it, the similarities/dissimilarities?
ReplyDeleteI just love doing memes... not sure why. Thanks for "stealing" it so I could "steal" it too. :)
Re: what retro items are in your home, what about Roomie? He's pretty retro, I think. Don't tell him the '80's ended and he''ll be just fine.
ReplyDeleteRe: watermelon, make the effort, man! Do a google on "watermelon nutrition" and find some info from a reliable source. Last year an item on As It Happens revealed the results of a "most nutritious fruit study" and number one was guava, followed by watermelon. I don't know that this is 100% truth but enough sources rate it high.
Then again, it's not a December fruit! :-) That's Prancey, the fashionable elf.
well, we actually had watermelon last night! MN was fascinated by one of those mini-watermelons at the grocery store yesterday and insisted we take one home. she ate over half of it. such a big appetite for such a tiny person.
ReplyDeleteanyway, I wouldn't have picked it up if not for her.
