Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator? Nope.

What would you change about your living room? Add more shelves and replace the furniture. Other than that, I like it. :)

Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty? What dishwasher? We do it by hand around here and take turns. Actually, with three ladies chipping away at it, it isn't a tough chore.

What is in your fridge? turkey, cheese, avocados, tea, coucous, soda, fruit juice, eggs

White or wheat bread? wheat multi-grain whenever possible. My hand-made breads are usually white though.

What is on top of your refrigerator? An economy-sized pack of paper towels, can cozies, a couple of those insulated sandwich holders, a thermos-ish water jug, two flashlights...

What color or design is on your shower curtain? frosted glass door with a fancy design worked into it.

How many plants are in your home? Inside the house, nothing right now. Outside is a different story as we've all take to gardening. :) 'Tis fun.

Is your bed made right now? As made as is possible in its current condition. :)

Comet or Soft Scrub? Comet or Old Dutch Cleanser (no fumes!)

Is your closet organized? Packed from top to bottom. If that is organized, its organized!

Can you describe your flashlight? One is blue plastic with a flashing red led light. Another is shiny blue aluminum. We have three black aluminum ones of varying sizes. Then there's the camping lanterns - mostly yellow or green plastic. We have oil lamps & candles too.


Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home? plastic pitchers

Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now? Technically it isn't iced, as the three pitchers of tea are cold only because they are kept in the fridge with the fruit juice. Current cold tea favs are:: Earl Grey, Constant Comment, & Mandarin Orange

If you have a garage, is it cluttered? packed like the closet, except for Dad's work area.

Curtains or blinds?
Mostly homemade curtains

How many pillows do you sleep with? I don't count them. I just mound them up with a good book - and sigh contentedly.

Standard toothbrush or electric? Sonic! I love it!

What color is your toothbrush?
white

Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch? We don't use the front door. We DO have an ornate rubber mat out back. If it makes people feel welcome, great!

What is in your oven right now? Nuttin' but those wire racks right now.

Is there anything under your bed? It's comprised of drawers containing shoes and spare blankets.

Chore you hate doing the most? the pets' bath day when I have a pile of homework due really soon...

What retro items are in your home? Too many to list. :) Did we mention that we like old fashioned things?


Do you have a separate room that you use as an office? Not really. Everything is kinda open, but that's actually been helpful at times.

Ever been on your roof? Nope.

Do you own a stereo?
Sort of. I prefer my ipod though. Then what I'm listening to doesn't interfere with household activities.

November 20, 2011



Your Friendship Style is Independent



You love your friends, but you don't always need them as much as they need you.

You like to do your own thing. Sometimes this means taking a break from your friends and carving your own path.



As long as your friends give you the space you need, you are happy to be there for them whenever you can.

Your friends lean on you for advice and problem solving. You tend to be "the rock."



You and an Empathetic Friend: Go well together. Your Empathetic Friend understand and accepts you... but may be too needy sometimes.



You and a Gregarious Friend: Get along well, as long as your Gregarious Friend is happy to only see you occasionally.



You and another Independent Friend: Have a love / hate thing going on. When you agree, things are blissful. However, more often than not, you butt heads.



You and a Philosophical Friend: Are somewhat a matter of opposites attract. You're both thinkers, but you think very differently.


===========================================================




You Are A Green Girl



You feel most at home in a world of ideas.

You're curious and logical - and enjoy a good intellectual challenge.

You're super cool, calm, and collected. Very little tries your patience.

Your only fear? People not realizing how smart and able you are!


======================




Your Beauty Element is Water



Feminine and dreamy, your beauty style is classic and very vintage.

But you never look out of style! You have a way of making classic looks modern again.

When in doubt, you go for what's tried and true. You're all about red lips and nails.

People consider you to be a timeless beauty.


============================



You Are Riding Boots



You are very sophisticated. You have refined tastes, and you don't fall for cheesy trends.

You are naturally chic and stylish. You can pull together a great look in no time flat.



You don't need a lot of flash or bling in your life. You prefer the glamour of the understated.

You treasure wisdom. You are attracted to ideas and things that have stood the test of time.



=======================================




You Are Cowboy Boots



This doesn't mean you're country, just funky.

You've got a ton of attitude and confidence.



You're unique, expressive, and even a little bit wacky.

You wear whatever you feel like รข€“ and you have your own sense of style.



You are straight shooting and honest. You tell people how it is.

Low maintenance and free wheeling, you're always up for an adventure.



You should live: Where you can at least get to wide open spaces



You should work: In a job that allows you to take change


================================



You Are a Lynx



You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully.

You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in.



You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul.

What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.


===================================



You Are a Persian Cat



You are very high-maintenance, at least as far as keeping up your appearance goes.

But you're surprisingly low-maintenance in every other aspect of your life.



You are peaceful and sweet tempered. People enjoy your company.

You are loving and a good companion, but it takes you a while to trust people.
