The Person Below Me
Yes, I have finished planning (not that I will stick to any plan I make, but the planning is fun). I have also planned my rejects list.TPBM does Pop Sugar as well as ATY
Sadly, yes. I guess I'll have to start working on my rejects (even though I told myself I'd use rejects for mood reading...). I miss planning!
TPBM enjoyed/enjoys school.
TPBM enjoyed/enjoys school.
I would love to sleep in on weekends, but with a dog it never happens. She is like an alarm clock for everything; eating, sleeping, etcTPBM is itching to start on next years books.
Oh lord yes! I was gone the first part of the week and worked on financial stuff today. The vacuum HAS to come out tomorrow.TPBM needs glasses to read.
Yes but I need glasses to see all the time, not just while reading.TPBM is planning to go away for Thanksgiving.
Seems like I have hundreds of allergies my whole life. Seldom even go out to eat.TPBM is busy MAKING Christmas gifts (made soap yesterday)
Not soup, but chili...the perfect food for a cold and rainy day.TPBM is expecting an important phone call.
Not really. When you are retired, you can sleep in any day of the week. TPBM has snow on the ground.
Nope. It’s a lovely 81 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where I just disembarked from a Caribbean cruise. TPBM loves blueberry pancakes.
YES! I started taking vitamins again a month ago and my hair has grown so quickly since then!
TPBM is in the middle of a really good book.

Well I don’t feel like we need it but it’s coming ! I’m sitting waiting to pick the girls up from school. They called a half day because it’s supposed to start snowing by 3 or 4 pm in Connecticut. Also freezing rain into the morning so possibly a delay tomorrow.I HATE SNOW!!!!!
TPBM can’t catch up on all the pop sugar and ATY threads currently going crazy
How true! I spend way too much time reading threads right now.Sorry about the snow, Tracy, but please keep it up there!
TPBM believes in love at first sight.

Ugh yes, too much of it.
TPBM has stayed up all night reading because they couldn't put the book down until it was done :-)
Maybe not ALL night, but close to it.TPBM has had rain/precipitation within the last 30 days (this will be a "no" for all of us in California! Yikes)
I do wish we could send you some of ours. The front yard is a lake at the moment. It has rained at least every other day for months now.TPBM reads with a grandchild.
False, unless we're talking "anyone's grandchild" but not mine. He's just my child.TPBM loves pumpkin spice lattes.
False, I am not a coffee drinker. But I love pumpkin spice everything else.TPBM is hungry! (Or is it just me?)
Not yet, as I’m still in bed (I’m awake at 4am because of jet lag), but I certainly will today, it’s hard going from 30C to 5C!TPBM likes to DIY anything
I actually don't completely hate taking liquid cough syrup...I just plan to suck on a candy or drink something flavourful right afterwards so I don't get the aftertaste!! xDTPBM has all of their 2019 challenge reads already planned out!!
Not even close - I don’t even know what challenges I’m doing yet!TPBM has something cool planned for the weekend.
Nope, friends are busy and I still have a horrible, laryngitis causing cough. TPBM likes onions on their pizza.
Yes! I make caramelised onions and put them on pizza with Kalamata olives, artichokes, prosciutto, and feta. OMG ... so yummy. And now I want pizza.TPBM is having takeaway for dinner tonight.
Nope, we've had enough rain for a while. And as for snow, it can stay up north.TPBM likes to read mysteries.
I do, but I don't have room right now :-(Ok Its December lets try this again. Our tree went up last night 🎄
TPBM has started decorating for Christmas
No, still haven't got a home (maybe I should decorate my backpack? 😂)TPBM is planning on DIY gifts this year
All decorating is done. Decided to just buy carefully selected gift cards this year with a small related gift as a gift tag. So bookstore gift card with bookmark as a tag. A gift card for a blouse with earrings as a tag. Saves my brainTPBM would be insulted to receive a gift card.
Nope, money is always better than a gift you cannot use, and I think we are more inclined to give gift cards to people we don't know well enough to choose a gift for or who just don't need anything obvious.TPBM has snow on the ground.
No, we're doing mostly experiences gifts (rather than "things") these days. DIY items that are useful are great though!TPBM has read A Man Called Ove.
*Edit: it looks like two of us were answering the previous post at the same time. I'm in Austin, TX - no snow on the ground here (although we had three snows last December, which is rare)!
I do like them, but I typically go for Sodoku instead, when I'm trying to pass the time.
TPBM read a book cover to cover this weekend.

Nope, I spend my weekend painting the bedroom, and ended it tonight with a great concert. I did get some audio in though while painting. TPBM went to a Christmas market this weekend.
