Tagged again!

Okay, I've just been tagged by Laurie for the longest meme ever invented.  It's self explanatory, so I'll just dive right in.  Oh, and if you don't make it all the way to the end, I tag Julia, Genesis, and DeeDee.  'K here goes.

1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?  Dove for Sensitive Skin, cause I'm itchy.

2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?  Uh, no.

3. What would you change about your living room? Probably the cheapo berber carpet. Or at least the twenty pulls I've hot glued down on it.

4. Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty?  Clean (and have been all day.  They just refuse to put themselves away!)

5. What is in your fridge?  What isn't?

6. White or wheat bread?

  Wheat, all the way.  Did you know the white stuff turns to glue in your tummy?  That's what my mom used to tell me.

7. What is on top of your refrigerator? An Arthur Court tray with bunnies on it (what? easter's over? dern.) and a big purty bowl still half full of Halloween candy.  Think the kids would notice if I stuck it in their Christmas stockings?

8. What color or design is on your shower curtain?

  We've got those wavy glass sliding doors.

9. How many plants are in your home?  Five plants and a tree.  Not one of them real.  I am the grim reaper of vegetation.

10. Is your bed made right now? I hope not, Jeff's sleeping in it!

11. Comet or Soft Scrub? Comet I guess?

12. Is your closet organized?  Sure.  The clothes on the hangers are my hang-up clothes; the pile in the top is stuff we don't need much; the pile on the left of the floor is stuff I've been meaning to take to Goodwill; the pile on the right is for shoes that belong on the rack of the door, which is currently still full of sandals, purses, and belts.  The things that keep it from closing are mostly toys, books, and puzzles that belong in the playroom.  I have my own organizational system.

13. Can you describe your flashlight?  It looks like a scarecrow and when the mouth opens up, the light comes on and it cackles.

14. Do you drink out of glass or plastic more at home?  Glass.

15. Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now?  Nope.  I try to keep it to water and coffee.

16. If you have garage, is it cluttered?  Somewhat, but I've been working on it, so it's better than it was!

17. Curtains or blinds?  Blinds.  The two inch white wood ones (me likey).

18. How many pillows do you sleep with?  One.  That's all there's room for after Jeff and his many pillow friends come to bed.

19. Do you sleep with any lights on at night?  The light in the bathroom hallway for Grayson.  He's TERRIFIED of the dark. :(

20. How often do you vacuum?  Define "vacuum."  I run my sweeper everyday.

21. Standard toothbrush or electric?  Standard. 

22. What color is your toothbrush?  Pink.  Not a big fan of pink actually, but it was on sale and I thought Jeff would rather have the blue.

23. Do you have welcome mat on your front porch?  Yep!  Not worth describing.

24. What is in your oven right now?  An entire community of happy black crumbs live on the bottom.  Other than that?  Nothing.

25. Is there anything under your bed? Um, yeah.  Socks, toys, dust bunnies... I could go on, but I'm feeling a little embarrassed!

26. Chore you hate the most?  Mopping.  It's pointless in this house!

27. What retro items are in your home?  A couple of pictures and a velvet couch (thanks Meg!)

28. Do you have a separate room you use an an office? Nah.

29. How many mirrors are in your home?  Four.  One of them makes you egg shaped from a distance.  It's my favorite.

30. Do you have any hidden emergency money around your home?  Does Grayson's piggy bank count?

31. What color are your walls?  Warm nutmeg, pumpkin spice, cinnabar, a very beigy beige, Georgia Bulldog Red (just one wall in the playroom), Blue with dinosaurs painted on it in the kids' bathroom, and jillion year old white in my room.

32. What does your home smell like right now?  Eau de Dog.

33. Favorite candle scent?  Pumpkin Pie Spice from Yankee Candle Co.  Mmmmm.

34. What kind of pickles are in your refrigerator right now?  Dill chips, dill relish, baby dills, pickled okre, and sweet gherkins.  I kinda like pickles.

35. Ever been on your roof?  Don't plan to.

36. Do you own a stereo? My dvd player does double duty (we have surround sound speakers, so it's cool), and then there's Grayson's karaoke machine.

37. How many TVs do you have?

  Two.  One in the den, and one in my room.

38. How many phones?  Uh...Three.  Plus our cells.

39. Do you have a housekeeper?  Ha!  Yeah, her name's Jessie.  Lately I've been thinking of letting her go...

40. What style do you decorate in?  I have decorator ADD.  I just buy what I like, and can't seem to stick to one theme.

41. Do you like solid colors in furniture or prints?  Solid all the way.

42. Is there a smoke detector in your home?  One in every room!  We're safe like that.

Sorry! Not real sure what happened to the font size and colors in that post! Weird.

[Megan]

I want to see the egg-making mirror! I don't bemember that!

[Jessica Keith]

It's the one in the bathroom beside the kitchen. If you see yourself from far away you get a nice egg shaped head!

[Expat Mom]

I´d fire your housekeeper, too! :D Thanks for the tag.

[Debbie]

I love reading your blog, you are very funny and have a great way with words. Keep posting!!

[Chris in Oxford]

Kudos for persistence. I kind of thought the variation in font size had to do with the most important questions...

[Jessica Keith]

No, Chris, while tv and shower curtains are important, they pale in comparison to the color of my toothbrush. Sheesh, who thought up these questions anyway?! BTW, I woulda tagged you, but you mentioned once you don't like to do these things!

[kailani]

Is it even watermelon season? hee hee

[Chris in Oxford]

Thanks for your restraint!

[foolery]

Hilarity ensues! This one made me make donkey noises:

I am the grim reaper of vegetation.

That and the egg-shaped mirror. You have done well, Grasshopper.

I'll never tag you again, though, sorry -- it stresses people out! I do it to relax, kinda like some people do crafts, which stress me out.
