Can we just say domestic?

I have been told TWICE this week that I seem like a very "homely" person. Umm... do they know what that word means? I think they mean "homey" as in like provides a comfortable, cozy, home-like environment. But homely? That means unattractive and unrefined. Oh wait. I just looked it up and it also means "suited to the home or ordinary domestic life" but still... let's find a word that means "suited to the home and sophisticated domestic life." I like that better. It's so much nicer than being "plain" and "ordinary." If they're going to use the word maybe they should specifiy which of the definitions they are referring to. Or, we could just say domestic... that's pretty cut and dry.
