I don't normally do these kinds of posts because I figure I talk so much about myself that you all probably don't need to have me tell you any more and let alone a whole bunch in one post.
HOWEVER, I realized I could answer nearly all of these questions that Just Breathe posted the other day and since I'm going to be in Gulf Shores for a few days, I was going to need to have some easy to write posts while my friend is visiting with me. Turns out I wrote it just moments ago, while I'm waiting for my friend to call to say that he has arrived. I wrote out the answers to the questions as if I were in my house in FL.
So thank you Debby for sharing this meme and I hope you all enjoy getting to know a little bit about my house and home.
A - My AIR CONDITIONER is set on: 72º - Since my husband and I are home most of the day, I have the thermostat just set on hold at 72º.
B- My BEDROOM theme is: Spare. Yellow walls, red curtains (always shut tight) and always neat as a pin. It's the only room in the house with that honor.
C- The CAR in the driveway is: (in the parking garage) is a Hyundai Santa Fe. LOVE IT! My husband's car is a Mercedes something or other but I don't care for it at all. He loves it though :) Guess that's all that matters.
D- My DESK looks: like a perfect place to perfect dust drawings. Around the stacks of paperwork, of course.
E- The EXACT time I wake up daily is: Between 9am and 10am. The alarm is set for 10 each day.
F- The FIRST thing I wash in the shower is: my hair
G- My GARAGE is filled with: household stuff. My garage is about 6 miles from my home though. We didn't get a garage with the condo that we live in, but we did get one when we bought one of our rental condos.
H- My HOUSE is: a condo on the 5th floor of a very nice place at the end of a strip mall. It's actually great being so close to so many things and very quiet at night.
I- If you peeked INSIDE my bedroom you'd see: a made bed with a yellow painted sewing stand as the bedside table on my side and ane Asian style dark wood nightstand on my husband's side.
J- My favorite JUICE is: not a fan of juice these days. I like water or my ViSalus shakes.
K- The best part of my KITCHEN is: that my dishtowels are in it :)
L- The LAST person who visited my home was: The Culligan Man
M- The last piece of MAIL for me was:The last piece of fun mail for me was a package of pressed pennies that I ordered. One was a Cedar Point penny - My very favorite amusement park - and the others were from the Albuquerque Balloon Festival.
N- My NEIGHBORS think I'm: just the sweetest thing! You can ask my neighbor Virginia. She'll say it in almost a whisper. I can almost hear her saying this to her husband the last time I saw them in the hallway. "Jim, don't you think Kristin is the sweetest thing. Her nose is adorable, too." That woman almost always says something about my nose! LOL
O- If you OPENED my fridge you'd see: Stacks of black togo containers that I use for my everyday leftovers. Shredded cheese would be in one, cooked hamburger in another, premade salad in another, etc.
P- My last house PARTY was: a long time ago - gosh it was Thanksgiving a few years ago.
Q- A QUICK meal I like to fix is: Salad or sauted summer squash, mushrooms and onions mixed with scrambled eggs and cheese.
R- My favorite ROOM of the house is: my living room
S- The SHAMPOO brand I use is: Ion Dandruff Solutions Clear-T Dual Action Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for psoriasis No more flakes. None.
T- My largest TELEVISION is: 36" I do believe.
U- UNDER my bed you will find: the cat if someone has come over, but otherwise nothing.
V- The last time I VACUUMED was: yesterday
W- Looking out my WINDOW I see: a little retention pond (that they call a lake here in Florida) and the parking lot of the Publix Shopping Plaza.
X- I wish I had X-TRA: (Isn't this funny, I can't think of a thing that I wish I had extra of) I wish I had less fat, I wish I had more time to spend with family, I wish I had extra ... here we go... Endurance. I wish I had extra endurance so that I wouldn't poop out so quickly when I exercise or go for a walk. This extra endurance could probably help with the less fat part :)
Y- My YARD is:maintained by the condo association. It's the best part of living here.
Z- ZZZZZZZ My bedtime is: usually around 3am. I can't seem to get everything done that I want done until that time. Even if I go to bed early, I find myself awake until that time.
If you'd like to play along, Debby at Just Breathe, has an empty form at the bottom of her post. It's a good way to go ahead and meet her, too :) I'm tricky!
Thanks everyone! Have a great great day!
Kristin
I love your answers and several of them I remember reading about in a post. I do love the fact that you are very organized. You know how much I love your dish towels in the basket and that you collect the smashed pennies like my daughter does. I remember you post on your black togo containers and the salad that you always make. Now I learned a few more things about you and I agree with your neighbor. I want to live in a condo someday and be super organized, there is a great freedom to living that way. Less is more :)Thanks for playing along.
ReplyDeleteI always love reading things like this and about other peoples everyday lives. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI did it myself too.
Hopefully it can help me get back into the rhythm of posting, I've been needing something to get me started again.
I love the dish towel collection. I wish I could have one like that myself. So neat, and clean and vintagey. But my dear husband, uses them. And have I mentioned he's a mechanic? He comes in from the garage and goes right to the kitchen sink to wash up. Grabs the first towel hanging on the oven door. I make sure I never, ever put anything new, bright or clean there. :( He'd grab it without thinking and dry off. It'd be black in two point two seconds. But I love him. And my dingy old dishtowels I buy at yard sales. And I love the grease stains on the edge of our WHITE counter where his shirt rubs up against it.
