The person below me.....

I am back in the USA  so yes  on the screens  but yes I missed them  a  lot when I was there.. and I LOVE that you can open  windows and  sliding doors  WIDE 


TPBM is patient  while waiting in  lines to be served

Unless I am in a hurry, or they are just being extra slow in serving people I am. Otherwise I am doing my 'hurry up, you can do it!' cheerleader chant in my head.... or quietly sighing.

TPBM has had a good wardrobe clean out lately.

TPBM has had a good wardrobe clean out lately.

I have! It's mostly because I've decided to face the reality that I just will never be a tiny size 2 again! (I'm a size 10-12 now and not willing to give up some foods and drinks! LOL!)

The Person below me spent the last weekend (week) having fun bbq's and hailing to the sun gods! 

False to the bbq, but true to spending a lot of time outdoors. We went for a lot of long walks (including a 20 mile one yesterday, and a 2 hour one with friends Saturday), had lunch outside at a pub with friends Saturday, and just thoroughly enjoyed all we could of it.

TPBM prefers to cook as many things as possible from scratch.

You know, I NEVER used to enjoy cooking (Especially from scratch) but since I've moved to England and have had to, I'm finding that I'm actually enjoying it more and more! So Yeah, I do now when I have time and energy! 

The person below me is doing something special this weekend to celebrate the bank holidays?

I'm working Saturday and Tuesday, but at least I have Sunday and Monday off.  Hubby's best friend is coming over Saturday--we'll probably bbq Saturday night if the weather is good.  Hubby and I are going to see mapleleafgirl and Mr. mapleleafgirl on Sunday for a picnic lunch.  Not sure what's up for Monday yet....

TPBM expects to eat something red, white, and blue this weekend.

I actually hadn't thought about it, but now the fun idea is in my head, I am going to make sure we do. 

TPBM is thinking ahead to do something (big or small scale) for July 4th.

It's been moving toward the front of my mind, but I don't know what to do to celebrate it yet....

TPBM randomly quotes Monty Python.

Not 'randomly'... there's always a good and valid reason for it!

TPBM is on an hourly wage, rather than a monthly salary.

Not 'randomly'... there's always a good and valid reason for it!

Why yes there is. 

False for now, but in a few weeks I will be on an hourly wage.

TPBM has worked for more than three places in his/her life.

True, though the last three places I worked account for the last 14 years of my life, so it feels almost false.

TPBM made a nice, healthy dinner tonight (or *tea*; I can't get used to "dinner" being in the middle of the day!  )

Moderately healthy, with roasted veggie lasagna. (The area I grew up in, people either had dinner midday and supper in the evening, or lunch midday and dinner in the evening. I haven't gotten used to tea as a meal or supper as a late evening snack.)

TPBM loves the fact it is staying light until nearly 10 pm for now.

Yes!! But it makes me sad that days will soon get shorter

TPBM watched (live, replay, or recorded) the jubilee concert.

False. I didn't watch any of the coverage.

TPBM is always listening (or reading) for new book suggestions.

True. I probably need to put on some blinders; my to-read shelf on goodreads.com is way out of control, and that's just the books that are physically on my shelves at home. I haven't even updated it with the digital ones I have. I think I've got enough to last me the rest of my life, as slowly as I read.

TPBM is good at maths.
