House Meme

I don't do these very often, but every once in a while, there's a bit of "get to know ya" that can be accomplished, so here ya go...

House meme:

1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now? Equate moisturizing shower soap.
2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator? No
3. What would you change about your living room? I'd put in hardwoods.
4. Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty? Dirty, and waiting to be run.
5. What is in your fridge? Besides food? A package of anti-barf suppositories and a jar of fake cucumbers for your eyes that are over a year old(that I keep contents for both ends of your body in the same place, huh?)
6. White or wheat bread? Usually wheat but Muh Main Man has been begging for Italian so I've been indulging ;)
7. What is on top of your refrigerator? A wicker basket containing our phone book.
8. What color or design is on your shower curtain? Sort of a tan with a purple and green flower motif.
9. How many plants are in your home? 3 and they are new, so we'll see how long they last.
10. Is your bed made right now? Yes, but not neatly.
11. Comet or Soft Scrub? Comet
12. Is your closet organized? All except for my shoes.
13. Can you describe your flashlight? My husband is an emergency responder. Which means we each have at least three. Even the kids. The closest are a yellow one and a green one. The weirdest are those ones you shake up to regenerate their batteries.
14. Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home? Disposable if I have them on hand, out of the can if I'm drinking soda and glass is my last resort because I wash them by hand.
15. Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now? Never.
16. If you have a garage, is it cluttered? That's Muh Main Man's area and it's a disaster. But we won't talk about that.

24. What is in your oven right now? The roaster pan thing that comes with most ovens.

32. Do you keep any kind of protection weapons in your home? Remember, Muh Main Man? He hunts. So, we have lots of long guns. Plus he's on the SWAT team. So he has a pistol. It's loaded. So do not sneak into my house. I will shoot you. After I get the gun out of the safe. Which is complicated. Because you have to put your fingers on the finger pad just so...

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha...

Gourmet Tastebuds Looking for Chef

Brainy Boy is every good cook's dream. He will eat anything as long as it smells like food and he can't identify it. Routinely when I set dinner before him, he comments something like 'Mom, I just really prefer gourmet restaurant-type food." And he's not kidding. No PJB for him, no Chef Boyardee, no Easy Mac. He's all about shrimp scampi, homemade gnocchi (not frozen) and is dying to know what caviar tastes like. The problem is that I'm a functional meat & potatoes kind of cook. I'd love to be a throw-ingredients-together-to-make-an-awesome-dish girl, but I'm just not. I don't really know how to cook without burying my head in a cookbook, and I don't enjoy the whole process of putting it together either--kind of the same way I am with gardening. I came up with the clever idea of letting Brainy Boy choose a meal a week that I would try, his choice. I pulled out my handy Kraft magazine that comes in the mail four times a year, a...

Daddy's Girl

I witnessed an amazing thing last night. Little Chic was invited to sing at our annual church family camp which is about a 45-minute drive from our church. That's a big undertaking for an 8-1/2 year old girl, but being the aspiring American Idol that she is, it is also right down her alley. She has looked forward to it for weeks now, and she drove us all nuts rehearsing her rendition of Amazing Grace with the performance track about a gazillion times since Sunday. As yesterday approached, her nerves set in a bit, but excitement was still the dominant emotion that exuded from her. For some reason, Little Chic had her heart set on Hero Guy making the show even though we'd all seen it performed at church and a school Talent Show already. Because of logistics of getting us all to the destination on time, I took Brainy Boy and Little Chic myself and Hero Guy drove directly from work. To complicate matters, Hero Guy needed to leave directly after the 3- minute performance t...
