not really.  I try, I do but when your size is in the double digits it's hard to have a style that's not in the big girl sizes which are only just now getting beyond being ugly fat-women clothes in the US... the UK still needs to learn that fat women don't wanna wear ugly clothes.

Well, brown is my favourite colour as black is not a colour!  :P

TPBM is enjoying a new television series.

Very true. We just can't get enough of 'Grimm'.

TPBM enjoys a hobby or craft that was passed down from a previous generation.

That's an interesting question!  I'll have to say no though unless a bit of baking counts as I've got  my grandmother's recipes and bake them on occasion (my mom didn't bake at all, but her mom did).

TPBM works in a field or industry that has been 'in the family' for at least a generation or two.

False. I seem to have settled into fast food and grocery store management. No one in the previous generations has done that.

TPBM will try a food more than once before deciding 'I just don't care for it', in case not caring for it the first time was just because of the way it was prepared.

True, unless it's something like head cheese blood pudding or lamb fries...Then I won't try at all! LOL! I'm pretty open to most foods as long as they aren't oogy parts a Zombie would eat!  ;D

TPBL ideal date night is a romantic candle lit dinner with some sort of fancy spread like fondue's and jazz music and long walks?

Sure, sounds really nice!  ( might pass on the jazz though  ;) )

TPBM  often prefers the outdoors even on a blustery day than doing something indoors.

True. There is just something about being outside and experiencing the weather, even for a bit, that is invigorating.

TPBM lives in an area where they can truly see and appreciate the stars.

Umm...Yeah that's kinda true! I'm right next to the city so I can't really see them here, but if I drive maybe a whole 3 miles, I can be in a country area where you can see them shine beautifully! (I live by the edge of town).

TPBM Really enjoys reading books of all kinds?

True. I have always enjoyed reading a wide variety of books.

TPBM has a good system of clothing storage for off season clothing.

No, unfortunately winter clothes are never really off-season here, it seems.  So no need to store them away out of easy reach.  And I don't have loads of summery clothes.  I wear some of the summery stuff in winter anyway, with layers.

TPBM has had to deal with moths in their wardrobe.

False... though I don't mind moths. I used to catch them when I was a kid. I guess I would mind them if they were found in my wardrobe though.

TPBM enjoys going to the park on a nice, warm day.

Clothes moths are tiny little things that eat holes in your best wool garments. >:(

Sure.  Some parks are better than others and would prefer the Yorkshire Dales National park over our little neighborhood park.

TPBM has had to defend themselves recently at work.

False, because I don't have a job. I gave up the search once we made the decision to head back to the States. I start a job there within days of landing, though. In the past I've had to, over silly things. I especially hate it when you bust your rump and give lots of extra effort and still have to explain why you didn't do more.

TPBM has a favourite summer and favourite winter perfume.

False. I found a perfume I love (Amarige by Givenchy) 15 years ago, and it's the only one I wear. I sometimes think I should try a variety, but I love it too much. ;D

TPBM loves a big, fat, juicy dill pickle. :)
