Jen has "tagged" me. Here's my take on it:
ABC's of Homemaking
Q: Aprons - Y/N? if Y, what does your favorite look like?
A: Yes, I have one. Only one. It wouldn't be my favorite. It's sissy looking.
Q: Baking - Favorite thing to bake?
A: Anything with chocolate involved is fine with me. However, bread is the most rewarding!
Q: Clothesline - Y/N?
A: No. But I need one! For the same reason as Jen....
Q: Donuts - Have you ever made them?
A: Why? When there's Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts?? Anything I would do would probably be sub-par.
Q: Every Day - One homemaking thing you do every day?
A: Laundry. It's the only way to keep up with the "large family size" proportions of clothing.
Q: Freezer - Do you have a separate deep freeze?
A: Well, technically, it's a whole refrigerator, but we only USE the freezer part.
Q: Garbage Disposal - Y/N?
A: No. They're too noisy for me!
Q: Handbook - What is your favorite homemaking resource?
A: Good ol' Mom. She's only a phone call away.
Q: Ironing - Love it or hate it? Or hate it but love the results?
A: What kind of question is this? Who in their right mind does ironing FOR FUN??? "Oh, honey, let's not go out to eat, I'm enjoying ironing right now." HATE IT. I delegate it to Chris whenever he lets me!
Q: Junk drawer - Y/N? Where is it?
A: I have a junk box. It's Rubbermaid, with a handy-dandy lid, and it sits in my pantry all pretty and neat. What an oxymoron, huh?
Q: Kitchen - color and decorating scheme?
A: It's a sage variation, and it matched my dishes, which is a "country gardening" theme. However, if you saw the mosaic in my island (custom, handmade!), you'd think it was "nautical"--because there's a New England lighthouse in it.
Q: Love - What is your favorite part of homemaking?
A: When it's done, it's very satisfying.
Q: Mop - Y/N?
A: OK, again, weird question. I'm a HOMEMAKER. Of COURSE I mop! And if I didn't, do you think I'd admit it here on my blog?? "Uh, Hon, let's not go visit Kelly anymore. I hear she doesn't mop her floors."
Q: Nylons - Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
A: This one feels a tad bit too personal.
Q: Oven - do you use the window or open the oven to check?
A: Both. Depends on the situation. (Aren't you all happy to know this little piece of useless information now?)
Q: Pizza - What do you put on yours?
A: Finally! A good one! OK.....lemme see.....mushrooms, meat, onions, peppers, BBQ sauce! Mmmmmm......
Q: Quiet - What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
A: Sleep!
Q: Recipe card box - Y/N? What does it look like?
A: I've had one, but I couldn't seem to get the recipe I wanted WHEN I wanted it. Now I have a binder that Pampered Chef put out. They've since retired that binder, but I love mine!
Q: Style of house - What style is your house?
A: Farmhouse. One floor.
Q: Tablecloths and napkins - Y/N?
A: I have a couple of tablecloths that don't fit my table. Cloth napkins are just adding more laundry, so I don't use 'em.
Q: Under the kitchen sink - Organized or toxic wasteland?
A: Does very organized, semi-toxic wasteland qualify?
Q: Vacuum - How many times per week?
A: More in the winter, with Chris hauling in wood. Perhaps 2-3 times a week.
Q: Wash - How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
A: 7-8.
Q: X's - Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
A: Not everyday. Mostly on Saturdays when Chris is home and we have to get things done before Sunday or friends come over. For everyday, I usually have a list on the fridge of outstanding projects I need to accomplish. It's nice when those are crossed off!
Q: Yard - Y/N? Who does what?
A: Our lawn mower is persnickity, so Chris takes care of that. However, I will sometimes get immersed in outside stuff when the weather's warmer, and I particularly like to get some flowers out on the porch in the spring.
Q: Zzzz's What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
A: Probably cleaning the kitchen, although I don't generally wait until right before bed, but try to do it right after dinner.
Well! That was fun! I'm going to tag......Rebecca, Chrystal, Denna, Katie, and Dana....
Have fun girls!

Oh, Kelly. I knew not to look. I think I like the hide and Seek tagged better. Would you, Chris, and the children like to play?LOL
I will try to catch up on this tag some time later. You might have to email me on what to do. Right now I am to tired to think about it. Yes, I know I should be in bed. I just had a HOT bubble bath, and a glass of chocolate milk. The kids are asleep. Kevin is at work, and I am enjoying the peace and quite. Well I was, until I read your tag.
Love ya,
This one was too cute!!
Hahaha. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Leave it to Kelly to turn an innocent FUN survey into an even MORE fun read.
I liked some of your answers...since they were the same or close to mine. How could I not? LOL
