TPBM is already decorating for Christmas
NO! I saw the decorations in the grocery store the other day and started silently raging. It's October.TPBM is already decorating for Christmas
Mod
(That being said, my Christmas decorations from last year still haven't made their way to the attic... so they are still occupying all of the space in my office, and at this point, I'm just going to leave them there until it's time to hang them up again.)
TPBM is already decorating for Christmas
That is the way they ruin Christmas for me. Let's have Halloween and Thanksgiving first, please!TPBM is already decorating for Christmas
NO! nonono.We (my family) do that gradually during december.

Not me... We still haven't pulled out our Halloween stuff yet. TPBM is already decorating for Christmas.
Ha, I walked into a store with twinkling trees and ran back out. But I know someone out there is! TPBM is already decorating for Christmas
I don’t have a home right now, so no decorating for me, but I’m currently in the Philippines and Christmas decorations are EVERYWHERE! Someone told us that for them Christmas in celebrated all along the months ending in “ber” 😅TPBM is already decorating for Christmas
Me again -- still no.TPBM is already decorating for Halloween or Thanksgiving (for those of you in the US)

TPBM is already decorating for Christmas.
I put up one Christmas ball on the wall just so I could say yes and move on with the this topic. Yes I took the bullet for all of you. TPBM Already ate all of the Halloween candy before the kids showed up and had to buy more
Haha, this person hasn´t bought any halloween candy yet.You know, I just bought some cardboard zombie christmas pixies and I thought they should go up today and stay till christmas ;) (or all year round probably)
TPBM loves to scare the kids for fun, when they come trick or treating.

I guess this means I don't need to stress about having one large Christmas ball with my grandchildrens' handprints still hanging from last Christmas. I am ahead of the game!
Nope. Couldn't even if I wanted to. We never get Trick or Treaters.TPBM eats ham for Thanksgiving.
No, my step-daughter always has one but I am a turkey girl. I mean maybe the Pilgrims shot some wild boar for the feast, but the star was the wild turkey.BTW, Ann, thanks for the sacrifice!
TPBM has a family nickname.
Yep. Using it right now! A Combination of my last name and my initials.TPBM loves snow
Yes! I didn’t even see snow until I was around 27 years old, and after six years of living where it snows I still never fail to get totally mesmerised by it. It’s always such a thrill to wake up and find everything blanketed in white!TPBM has exciting weekend plans.
Mod
TPBM loves their job!
Training dogs and raising organic vegetables. What's not to love about that. They don't talk back as much as kids I taught.TPBM hates cooking like I do.
I don’t hate cooking but I’m not very good at it 😅TPBM woke up before the alarm clock this morning
No, I never wake up before I have toTPBM plans to watch a scary movie
Yes, I teach English/Language Arts in a Middle School!TPBM refuses to give out candy on Halloween.
Hate to admit it, but that is me. Long story...but now it is a moot point because there isn't a single child on the street where I live and too rural for outsiders to come.TPBM took a child to trick or treat tonight.
Mod
TPBM will attend some sort of worship service tomorrow.
Nope, I'm not religious at all.TPBM is cooking comfort food for dinner this evening.
Mod
TPBM is spending the day reading.
No, not today. It is a perfect fall day in Nashville. Time to do some outdoor chores.TPBM likes country music.
Old country music, not much of the new stuff. I was raised on Bluegrass and through the 1980's country was so down to earth. Now it is just too much like pop to suit me.TPBM has read everything ever written by Jane Austen.
Only Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice (although more than once!)TPBM will reset clocks tomorrow
No... I will reset them today, so they will be correct when I get up.TPBM has grandchildren.
woah, that's smart, EdieI have two gkids and one is due.... today! But will prolly not make that!
TPBM likes to bike
I do, especially all around NYC, Nantucket and in spin class! TPBM is voting on Tuesday (you’d better, US citizens!!)
Mod
TPBM has a guilty pleasure TV show they love to binge.
I watch Poldark on Sunday nights, then again on Tuesday when the other station runs it. When they run the previous season in the summer, I watch again. My husband thinks I am nuts. I suppose that qualifies as "binge" watching...it certainly makes me feel guilty.TPBM needs a haircut.
Yes, how did you know? ;) Getting a haircut is like shopping for clothes for me: I know I'll have to do it eventually to meet the expectations of society associated with having a job etc. But really low on personal motivation.TPBM has a pile of clean laundry waiting to be folded.
Not yet but I just put a load of laundry in the washing machine so I will soon!TPBM voted in the first round of the Goodreads Choice Awards.
Yes, for a few categories.TPBM will watch a sporting event this weekend.

No shopping for me as all my money goes on travelling (although I do need some new flip flops 🤔)TPBM cried reading a book recently
Yes, A Division of the Spoils brought me to tears. Cathartic sometimes. TPBM forgot to set their clocks back.

Nope.TPBM plans to take a trip before the end of 2018.
No plans here.TPBM likes to sleep in on the weekends.
