Charlotte tagged me on this one. Cousins, I tag you, if you haven't already done it. Here goes.

THE ABC's of HOMEMAKING

Aprons- yes or no? If yes, what does your favorite look like? No, I'm a neat cook.

Bake-What's your favorite thing to bake? Hmmm...probably chocolate chip cookies, but I also like the dough.

Clothesline- yes or no? Not at the moment, but I've been thinking it would be a good idea.

Donuts- have you ever made them? Yes, with my mom when I was a kid. It's been awhile.

Every day-Name one homemaking thing you do every day. Make meals. It seems like I'm always in the kitchen.

Freezer-Do you have a separate deep freeze? No, but I'd like to get one.

Garbage disposal- yes or no? Absolutely! Wouldn't want to go without one.

Handbook- what is your favorite homemaking resource? It varies, but I go to the Internet fairly often.

Ironing- do you love it or hate it? I don't hate it, but I certainly don't love it or like it or enjoy it. It's just too time consuming.

Junk drawer- yes or no? Where is it? Yes, in the kitchen.

Kitchen-What is your kitchen color and decorating scheme? White appliances and cabinets, brick red walls. Floral and plaid border. All very cute, thanks to the previous owner.

Love- What is your favorite part of homemaking? I'm not sure, but in general I prefer cleaning to cooking.

Mop- yes or no? Yes, but not often enough.

Nylons- wash by hand or in the washing machine? Washing machine.

Pizza-What do you put on your pizza? Pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, Mozarella, sometimes Roma tomatoes, spinach, ham, pineapple, bacon.

Quiet- what do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment? Regroup, occasionally-- read, rarely--nap.

Recipe card box- yes or no? What does it look like? Not really. My recipes are scattered in various books and binders, but I can usually find the one I need.

Style-What style is your house? I think it is what is called a rambler/ranch. All on one floor--basements aren't common in Texas.

Tablecloths and napkins- yes or no? Tablecloth sometimes. Placemats often. Paper napkins almost always.

Under the kitchen sink- is it organized or toxic wasteland? Relatively organized.

Vacuum-how many times per week? 2-3, but I wish I could get to it daily.

Wash- how many loads of laundry do you do per week? At least four, usually all in one day.

X's- do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off? Not a daily list, but yes, to do lists help me function.

Yard- yes or no? Who does what? Yes. I enjoy mowing, but usually let Jeff handle the outside chores.

Zzzz's- what is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed? Checking to see if the dishwasher needs to be run, turning out lights, locking doors.
