Housekeeping Meme

Angela Messenger has this fun Housekeeping Meme. She tagged everyone with a washing machine. I (Cathy of Alexandria) checked my basement and it appears that I DO have a washing machine!

And yes - so do I - oh! there’s my boxers!

Aprons – Y/N?
NO!

Baking – Favorite thing to bake:
Stouffer’s dinners and Connie’s pizza from Kowalski’s.

Clothesline – Y/N?
NO!  They ugly up a yard!

Donuts – Have you ever made them?
As a matter of fact, yes.

One homemaking thing you do every day:
Wash dishes.

Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?
No. Why?

Garbage Disposal – Y/N?
Me.

Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?
Joy of cooking - the book.

Ironing – Love it or hate it?
I absolutely HATE ironing. That’s me standing by the dryer waiting to pull items straight out. Though on the rare occasions when I do iron I’m a big fan of heavy starch. Box starch-which is really hard to find these days. - that’s Cathy’s response and I’m all on board with her.

Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?
Yes, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the den, in the living room, in the hall, in the basement - I have several.

Kitchen: Design & Decorating?
It’s half done - very magazinish - don’t ever buy a Viking stove however.

Love: What is your favorite part of homemaking?
I did not know that’s what I do. 

Mop - Y/N?
Scrub on hands and knees - I have white tile.

Nylons - Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
I don’t believe I ever owned any!

Oven - Do you use the window, or open the door to check?
Open the door - the window is so dirty it’s opaque.  (Can that be cleaned?) 

Pizza - What do you put on yours?
Tons of cheese, sausage, spinach and olive oil, with very little tomato sauce.

Quiet - What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
It’s always quiet…what do I do?  Blog and look for topics to blog about.

Recipe card box - Y/N?
Heavens no - if you don’t know how to cook, recipes won’t help.

Style of house -
English cottage.

Tablecloths and napkins - Y/N?
Paper napkins, yes.  If I have company - always fabric.

Under the kitchen sink - Organized or toxic wasteland?
Very organized.  Extremely organized.  Uber organized.

Vacuum - How many times per week?
Once a month - the cats and I hate the noise.

Wash - How many loads of laundry do you do a week?
3 or 4.

X’s - Do you keep a daily list of things to do and cross them off?
Of course not!  I’m not Martha Stewart!

Yard - Who does what?
I do a lot, but I also have a gardener.

Zzz’s - What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
Checking my email.

Gotta go - my nylons are in the dryer!

Thanks Cathy - I tag Keevin, the house-husband!
