What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now? I am embarrassed to say only Grins and Giggles lavender hair/body wash for babies. I am looking at a great Avalon Organics huge pump bottle of lavender body wash, waiting and waiting for it to go on sale.
Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator? No-in fact, I tossed a bunch of old watermelon two weeks ago. Yick!
What would you change about your living room? The sofa and have some nice MATCHING furniture! I would also add some bookshelves, but it is not a very big room.
Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty? Clean. (again wit
h the bold not turning off!-apparently this is a special question) And my son helped "wash" the dishes (only the plastic ones, which was a good call considering how he was tossing them into the dish drainer.)
What is in your fridge? It's sad really. Milk, peanut butter, jelly, bread, apples, veggies on the verge of extinction, cheese, leftover chicken from tonight. I really need to go to the store.
White or wheat bread? Wheat, not just because it's healthier-I actually like it better!
What is on top of your refrigerator? Nestle Quik, apple juice, Dr. Pepper, phone books.
What color or design is on your shower curtain? I just bought a nice new one -it's blue, yellow and white stripes, but very shimmery looking. My husband has an ancient green one in his, but I checked his liner the other day and was horrified.
How many plants are in your home? I killed three desert plants that needed minimal watering. So, no live plants. I do have two fake ones.
Is your bed made right now? Yes, but we need new bedding. I am trying to figure out what to buy. I love my SIL Terri's bed covers, always extra cozy. Maybe she will tell me what the secret is.
Comet or Soft Scrub? Neither. I use borax, vinegar and a million little "recipes" from my Better Home Basics book. Thanks to Suz.
Is your closet organized? Not really. My side is better than T's, but that isn't saying much. I am hoping (new project flash!) to paint the closet and change the set up.
Can you describe your flashlight? I don't personally have a flashlight. But we have a gazillion yellow ones about the house. I have a reading headlamp. The boys each have their own too.
Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home? I like plastic or mugs. I don't like drinking out of glass unless I have a straw. For some reason, many glass drinking glasses have a funky smell that really bothers me. (And NOT just mine at home!)
Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now? Huh?
If you have a garage, is it cluttered? Sigh. Yes. If my husband would allow me to purge without his permission, it would not be very cluttered at all. :)
Curtains or blinds? Just blinds. I am busy buying new ones as I have money for them. I am not going to do curtains for many reasons. One of which is I am just not.
How many pillows do you sleep with? One
Do you sleep with any lights on at night? I can sleep in any type of light, blinding or soft. I like nightlights, but my husband cannot sleep with lights on at all. If he is trying to sleep and I am reading with my tiny headlight, he tosses around. Luckily, I am usually the first one to bed and first to fall asleep.
How often do you vacuum? That depends on how many Cheerios and snacks have been eaten during the week. Right now, there are Goldfish ground into the one carpet.
Standard toothbrush or electric? Regular one
What color is your toothbrush? Purple
Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch? Yes, it has fall colored leaves on it and actually says “Welcome” in the center! - I have the same kind as Stacy! Cool!
What is in your oven right now? My cookie sheets. Some icky gook on the bottom of the oven.
Is there anything under your bed? Nope!
Chore you hate doing the most? Cleaning T's bathroom-I have left it for him to do and I am afraid things are starting to grow in there. I also don't enjoy taking out the garbage. I did clean his bathroom today and he owes me BIG for that.
What retro items are in your home? Retro. Hmmm. I have my great-grandmother's dresser (my mom has the rest of the set). That's about it.
Do you have a separate room that you use as an office? Well, we have a computer in our main room but I have my desk and laptop in the guest/office room.
How many mirrors are in your home? Four.
Do you have any hidden emergency money around your home? No.
What color are your walls? Well, the main rooms are taupe with white trim. The office is white with green trim and the master bedroom (sorry Terri!) was just painted taupe/white trim after being an earthy red color. The boys' room is light blue and green, but Ian informed me that he wants to paint his room red, orange and purple.
Do you keep any kind of protection weapons in your home? No, except whatever comes in handy as a weapon in the house.
What does your home smell like right now? Nothing special. At least no diaper odor!
Favorite candle scent? I am really not a big candle person anymore with two curious children. I do like pumpkin and cranberry at this time of year.
What kind of pickles (if any) are in your refrigerator right now? none
What color is your favorite Bible?
Ever been on your roof? I am too afraid to be up that high. Thomas has and I think Michael too.
Do you own a stereo? We do have a jukebox style stereo that holds 50 CD's. We also have a new iPod boombox for school and home use.
How many TVs do you have? One (it is about 11 years old now!)
How many house phones? One. I hate it.
Do you have a housekeeper? Besides myself? Ha, ha, ha!
What style do you decorate in? Affordable! I am a pretty classic person-I don't like very many prints. My style would be clean and solid color, and MATCHING furniture. Someday!
Do you like solid colors in furniture or prints? I only like solid colors, except stripes. I do not like flowery or busy patterns of any kind.
Is there a smoke detector in your home? Yes. I pray they don't set off, because the sound of the beep makes my brain click into frozen "TURN IT OFF" mode!
In case of fire, what are the items in your house which you’d grab if you only could make one quick trip? My boys. My camera or laptop.

How cute is that?!! Love the photo of your little guy cleaning.
I thought about doing this one but it's too long right now.
Kudos for your being able to get through the "interview" meme! My brain would have turned to mush early on in that process. The last question though - about the smoke alarm - reminded me I really should post sometime about the nite my son caught the house on fire. Talk about your priorities kicking in!
Yes I really do owe you big for the gross bathroom. Sorry, my bad. Name whatever you want me to do this weekend (except purge the garage).
Ian is so cute doing the dishes- what a big boy he is getting.
What are you saying my glasses smell? I think whatever you want should include the garage (sorry Tommy)
Thanks Terri. The garage is now calling my name...
"Clean me Tommy! Get rid of all your crap from college!"
Not a problem Tom- in fact anytime!
