Thankfully, not at the moment.

TPBM needs to be (and wants to be) more disciplined about a specific issue in her life.

Very very true. I'm doing better with dieting than I have in years, but I still have more treats than I should for the goals I have set.  ::) It was easier to give up smoking than it is to give up snacking.  :o

TPBM keeps at least one article of clothing that will never fit again, just because of sentimental reasons.

That's funny, I was just thinking today how I am sentimental about clothing.  Not necessarily about keeping it, but just remembering certain favorite pieces and what was going on in my life around that time.

I don't keep stuff any more if I've outgrown it (in more ways than one), but I guess there are always photos of me in the clothes.

TPBM's partner / spouse has a dress sense that needs some serious help.

YES! If it is black, grey or navy he will wear it. Aside from that, nada!!! Argh. And his long sleeves never remain long as he constantly shoves/folds them up.

TPBM has a favorite set of clothes to lounge in.

True, and I happen to be wearing them at the moment. It's a pair of Indianapolis Colts pj bottoms (Colts blue with white lettering) and a grey Santa's Candy Castle t-shirt advertising the Candy Castle in Santa Claus, IN. They don't match so well, but they are both very comfy.

TPBM hates to take naps for fear of missing something.

Well, I just don't like napping, because I don't like messing up my sleep pattern - does that count?  :P

TPBM has something planned over Easter.

No plans over Easter! Kinda weird! I always did back in the U.S. and it always included some sort of Church involvement or Brunches with friends and family...But nothing here...My husband and I were saying that maybe we should call his parents as it's been a while anyways since we've seen them...But nothing special planned!

The person below me loves going/participationg/taking their kids to Easter Egg hunts! :)

Definitely! I adore how creative my mom used to get.

TPBM (without googling) knows why we use a rabbit to symbolize a religious holiday. I'm going to go look it up :)

Because they lay chocolate eggs?!  ;)

TPBM loves Cadbury Creme Eggs.

True! I love the caramel ones even more, but you can't go wrong wrong with a creme egg.  ;D

TPBM goes out for coffee with friends at least once a month.

There's nothing Christian about the bunny at Easter.  It's a remnant of pagan times and is a fertility symbol and symbolic of spring. 

I don't go as often as once a month, but it would be nice to if I could always fit it in!

TPBM knows someone (or is someone) who keeps kosher at Passover, has a seder, etc.

My cousin does. He grew up Catholic like the rest of us, but has converted and is now Messianic Jewish (is that the correct term?).

TPBM calls in 'sick' on occasion just to have a Ferris Bueller day.

Yes, pretty sure that's the right term.

No, I've only done that once in my life, many years ago and I felt pretty guilty about it at the time.

TPBM makes sure to separate darks, whites, and color when doing the laundry.

False. I'm still trying to figure out how to get everything back over to the States as it is. I've seen a lot of clothes I've wanted lately, but have refrained. I doubt two overstuffed cases will do it. I'd bring a full case at a time each time we went home for a visit.

TPBM has changed their fashion style in the past couple years.
