3. Share with us a favorite childhood memory of yours (let's say through age 18) Moving to Oklahoma when I was 8. I was super sad to leave Hawaii [and all my mom's family behind, and the beaches, and the warm weather...], but we flew to California and then drove to Oklahoma. That was the best.summer.ever. We went to DisneyLand, saw family on the mainland I'd never met before, and it was my first real encounter with this side of the United States. It was so fun.
4. You find $50 on the ground, and no one is around to claim it or looking for it. What do you do? If it was just on the ground, I'd probably keep it [after looking around to see if someone was clearly searching for it]. If I found it in a store or something, I'd turn it in.

Oh, and a chandelier or two above the island. And storage, storage, storage!!my bookshelf!

2. What's the last non-food item you purchased? does the work I had done on my car brakes yesterday count?
3. Share with us a favorite childhood memory of yours (let's say through age 18) I used to take my hamsters outside for walks. I used the fabric bands kids weave pot holders out of for a harness, then a piece of yarn for the lease. The neighbors found it entertaining.

If you need some inspiration pics, houzz.com has a bunch. It would be our current kitchen (I like the size, layout, and cabinet space) but with new tile flooring, new cabinetry, new backsplash, and granite countertops.

Anything where my laundry room is not also my pantry.

2. What's the last non-food item you purchased? movies from Hastings

5. Describe (and/or PIP) your dream kitchen. If you need some inspiration pics, houzz.com has a bunch. I would just like a non-galley style kitchen. I haven't really thought about a "dream" kitchen as I am usually focused on either improving what I have for minimal cost, or making due with what I have (old habit instilled in me from mom and my job).1. If married, look at your wedding band: Sparkling clean or filthy? I don't wear my wedding band. It is in our safe though so I would assume it is pretty clean.
2. What's the last non-food item you purchased? tissues
3. Share with us a favorite childhood memory of yours (let's say through age 18) My grandma would come to visit us twice a year and she would always take us out to pick out a toy for her to bring back for "Larry's grandkids" becuase they were the same ages we were. I don't think Larry ever even had grandkids but we were young and dumb. Then she would leave the toys for us when she left.

5. Describe (and/or PIP) your dream kitchen. If you need some inspiration pics, houzz.com has a bunch. dark wood, really open, big sink, double ovens, bar, huge gas stove top, lots of prep space, spice rack over the stove but not so high I can't reach it without a stool, big island, granite counters, pot filler, shelves that pull our of the cabinets.
5. Describe (and/or PIP) your dream kitchen. If you need some inspiration pics, houzz.com has a bunch. Ooh. Stainless steel, highly energy efficient, yet somehow recyclable appliances. My step MIL has such a cool counter top - it's black with with sparkles in it . It sounds atrocious, but I think it's really neat. Lots of counter space and cupboards, and kind of open. I also like those faucets that you can tap to turn on so you don't contaminate things, too. I've also heard of cement countertops with recycled glass to give it sparkle - I love that idea, too.
