Baaaa-baaa! That household meme...
OK, I am probably the last person on my flist to do this one.
1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now.
Suave Ocean Breeze bath gel for the DH. I tend to use my shampoo.
More TMI meme-ish blathering behind the cut:
2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
Yes, as a matter of fact! I am looking forward to eating it tomorrow.
3. Is there anything moldy in your refrigerator?
Not today. It was cleaned out a few days ago.
4. Are there any dirty dishes in your sink?
Nope. The DH just finished washing the supper dishes.
5. What would you change about your living room?
Fantasy: About two feet bigger all the way around.
Reality: All the cords from TV, computer, etc. neatly corralled.
6. Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty?
What dishwasher?
7. Do you have a can of mushrooms in your pantry?
Nope; I prefer fresh or frozen, but I do have some dried ones I thought I'd give a try.
8. White or wheat bread?
Wheat.
9. What is on top of your refrigerator?
My bread machine and a cake plate.
10. What color is your sofa?
What sofa?
11. What color or design is on your shower curtain?
Tan with palm tree branches.
12. How many plants are in your home?
None inside; I prefer to garden in the yard. However the basil I'd brought in and was keeping in water so I wouldn't have to go outside every time I wanted a few leaves sprouted roots, so I took it outside and planted it. I don't know if it will grow. I didn't know basil would do that.
13. How many candles are in your home?
Probably about half a dozen. We usually only get them out during the holidays or during an emergency. We also have two or three fake candles that work on batteries.
14. Is your bed made right now?
Yep. We do that first thing in the morning, but sometimes it doesn't stay that way. Our dog Sophie will occasionally get up there and throw all the pillows off.
15. If you have a coffee pot, what color is it?
Black.
16. Electric or standard can opener?
Standard.
27. Comet or Soft Scrub?
Neither one. I usually use Lysol wipes in the bathroom and a spray disinfectant in the kitchen.
28. Is your closet organized?
Only the rod and the upper shelf. There's all kinds of stuff on the floor.
29. What color is the flashlight that you use the most?
Red.
30. What kinds of things are in your junk drawer?
Well, the junk drawer in my desk has paper junk. The junk drawer in the kitchen has only a little bit of kitchen junk, as I recently straightened it up and did a fling. The junk drawer in my sewing machine has sewing junk. I no longer have a junk drawer in the bedroom, as I did a fling and filled that drawer with my jeans.
31. Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home.
Usually plastic.
32. Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now?
Now and always.
33. If you have a garage, is it cluttered?
Yes. Mostly the DH's stuff and holiday decorations, plus my canning jars and equipment. It's only cluttered because it's not organized--most all of it is stuff we use, just not real often.
34. Curtains or blinds?
Curtains in the living/dining room; blinds + curtains in the bedroom and sewing room. Neither in the bathroom. I made a fake stained glass window in there.
35. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Three. Two pillow pillows for my head, and a little squishy pillow to put under my shoulder.

Yes. Otherwise if we got up to go to the bathroom we'd be stepping on the cat or running into things.
37. How many ceiling fans are in your home?
Three.
38. How often do you vacuum?
When we had carpet all over, I vacuumed about every other day. Now the only room with carpet is the bedroom, I only use the vacuum about once a week. I sweep or swiff every other day in the rest of the house.

HA! (They said on the news today that LOL is out of date.) Just about everything we own is retro, though it was contemporary when we first got it!
47. Do you have a separate room that you use as an office?
No. My "office" is in the living room.
48. If you have a yard, who mows it?
Usually the DH, although now that we have a new, easier to use, lighter mower, he will allow me a turn once in a while. And every now and then, our adult son will surprise his dad by coming over and mowing.
49. Is there anything on your kitchen floor right now?
Dirt, dog hair, cat hair. I didn't get a chance to swiff in there today. No food. The dog takes care of dropped food before it hits the floor.
50. How many mirrors are in your home?
Two; my dresser and the bathroom. We did have a full length mirror mounted on a hallway door, but we removed it so we could hang up a wire bookcase on the door.

Does a jar of loose change count? It's for such emergencies as a Sunday paper or the car wash.

No. Does anyone?
62. Ever been on your roof?
No.

Solids or tone-on-tone.

Yes.
69. In case of fire, what are the items you would grab if you only could make one quick trip?
Oh golly! Assuming we got the pets and each other out, I suppose I'd grab my iPad and my pocket-purse. If I had time (which I'm sure I wouldn't) I'd try to grab my replica of Sting. A fire moves a lot faster than a hurricane!
