What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now? A few different kinds...I like variety! Vanilla Lace liquid soap, pumpkin spice soap bar and a heavy duty bar like Coast for those oh-so-smelly days when we get filthy dirty outside!
Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator? Yes actually. No one likes to eat it besides me in our home. This is the first one we've purchased all summer too. How sad is that?
What would you change about your living room? It was our old garage which we converted into a living room. I would love to change the size...it's 22' x 11', so it's long and narrow and it's hard to arrange furniture to fit nicely. I'd love to widen it about 5'.
Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty? Clean which means that Lionel needs to empty it -it's one of his daily chores!
What is in your fridge? What isn't?!? A gazillion condiments, left overs, beverages and anything else we could fit that needs to keep cool. We do have a 2nd fridge which was my Dad's when he was living here. We use it for overflow now, but it's pretty empty at the moment.
White or wheat bread? Whole wheat Weight Watchers bread
What is on top of your refrigerator? A Longaberger pitcher, and 2 Rubbermaid containers full of doggie bones for Cody!
What color or design in on your shower curtain? It's a pretty pink, green, cream colored stripe. It matches our green walls perfectly.
How many plants are in your home? Real or fake? I kill the real ones, but we've managed to keep one alive for a few years now. The rest are fake and are dusted periodically. = )
Is your bed made right now? Half made...the sheets are pulled up, but the quilt is still folded at the bottom.
Comet or Soft Scrub? Neither...I love Mister Clean! Shh, don't tell my husband.
Is your closet organized? Yup! We have a very large closet with cubbies for shoes and sweaters etc. I love it.
Can you describe your flashlight? What for?? This is a strange question. We have a few, but my favorite one (if you can have a favorite flashlight) is the big MAG light.
Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home? I prefer glass, but it really doesn't matter.
Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now? No, but I have a large bottle of diet green tea in the fridge.
If you have a garage, is it cluttered? No garage, it's my living room, remember?
Curtains or blinds? Both...anything to keep those nosy neighbors out!
How many pillows do you sleep with? Two, one is big and fluffy and one is flat that I tend to hug and squish as I sleep. Weird huh?
How often do you vacuum? Me? Vacuum? Seriously though, we vacuum as often as we can. Our dog doesn't shed, but his hairs do fly around now and then when he's brushed. They make great tumbleweeds though!
Standard toothbrush or electric? Standard...the other kind annoys me.
What color is your toothbrush? Right now it's orange, but I'm going to switch to a new purple one soon if that color hasn't been spoken for. We buy the large packages of tooth brushes at Costco with several colors, but no 2 people in the house can have the same color at the same time so there are no mix-ups.
Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch? Yup, it says "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." It keeps the weirdos away.
What is in your oven right now? Nothing, wanna come cook dinner for us?
Is there anything under your bed? I hope not! Gasp! Maybe a few dust bunnies, but that's it.
What chore do you hate doing the most? ALL of 'em! I don't mind washing dishes when I'm in the mood, but if I feel like I HAVE to do it, then it becomes a chore.
What retro items are in your home? My hubby! Just kidding honey!
Do you have a separate room that you use as an office? We have a school room which doubles as our office since our computers are in here.
How many mirrors are in your home? Too many when I'm feeling really fat!
Do you have any hidden emergency money around your home? Extra money? What's that?!?
What color are your walls? Definitely not white! We have walls that are: yellow, gold, moss green, cork (orange/gold color - gorgeous), pink (Sweet-Pea's room), navy blue/cream (Lionel's room), brown and burgundy...we love nature colors the most.
What does your home smell like right now? Well, Cody is sitting behind me so I smell him mostly (he desperately needs a bath!), but otherwise it smells like Yankee Candles and sprays. I don't like a stinky house. Gag!
What kind of pickles (if any) in your fridge? Eew, I don't eat pickles! Everyone else in the house loves 'em, so there are a bunch of different kinds.
What color is your favorite Bible? I currently use a burgundy leather NIV Study Bible, but my hubby ordered for me the new ESV Study Bible which comes out next month. That too will be burgundy leather. Can't wait!
Ever been on you roof? Nope, but my hubby has many times. It scares me when he's up there though because it's so high!! How on earth does Santa do it?? ha ha
Do you own a stereo? You mean an old one?? Actually yes. We have a whole cabinet with records etc. CD's are our favorite though and we have a gazillion of those!
How many TV's do you have? Hmm, 4 that are connected to the satellite and 2 that aren't. Too many? One is in the living room, one in the family room (which was my Dad's living room), a small one in the kitchen, and one in our master bedroom. The kids each have one for playing games and watching DVD's with...no 'real' TV is allowed in their rooms.
How many house phones? Only 3 and sometimes that's too many!
Do you have a housekeeper? Are you for real?? Do you think I'm made of money? I'm the maid...we actually all chip in and do the household chores. Edward is a fantastic husband and he works harder than most men probably do for their wives. Thanks honey!!! Sweet-Pea is also a fantastic helper!
What style do you decorate in? Right now we're mostly just traditional/country. When we eventually move out to Colorado, I want to decorate with more of a cabin theme. That's my favorite!
Do you like solid colors in furniture or prints? Both...it depends on the piece and how big it is.
Is there a smoke detector in your home? Of course, several...along with Carbon Monoxide detectors which you all should also have.
What are the items in your house which you'd grab if you could only make one quick trip? Well, assuming that my children, husband and pets would already be out, I'd grab my scrapbooks, my laptop and external hard drive since they house all our photos, and then any instruments I could from our music room.
