Correct! (Neither can the dog). Right now the yard looks like a camping store vomited.

Nope - I did my "missed years" period a while ago. Not quite ready for another break yet.

True - last year was a skipped year for me! Super excited to be going again this year, though. Third time's the charm!

TPBM currently has their Burning Man gear mostly organized.

No. Gotta figure out what I'm keeping (the cot, for sure) what I'm getting rid of and what I might try to sell.
Of course, I can always use the "I'm not burning again, I don't need gear" clause.
tpbm was given a really nice piece of gear thsi year.

Yes! I love browsing the shelves, and trying to read the labels. I am amazed how much Spanish I can read. And then I get to try yummy new goodies. Sorianno is so great! And Costco in foreign countries is trippy.

TPBM knows what Pie n Beer days is, and will be indulging in both.

last time I was at (and in) a small town parade was in Dubois, WY (doo-boys, not doo-bwah. Seriously) in 1980 for the 4th of July. It was a blast.

I wish. Last time I spent time with my sister before she was killed, we went to Yellowstone for a day. Only time I've been in Wyoming.

Not really, two cups of coffee, black, two slices of whole grain toast with butter and ginger marmalade. If I have a second breakfast, it will be a fruit cup or yogurt.

TPBM eats six tiny meals each day.

Nope I eat one or two normal sized meals, usually at completely the wrong time and one or two terribly unhealthy snacks.

TPBM prefers to eat non-breakfasty food for breakfast.

schroom--I like mint tea, but not enough to seek it out. I'm a little more excited by ginger.

As a matter of fact, I do. At least for me. The first week of November I'm planning on flying into (MCI) Kansas City, renting a car and driving to Moberly, MO to see an old friend. Tentative plans

*Cackling*

I've had many pets, but the only one that had my fist in it was the raccoon puppet. And the hamster puppet.

I do not currently have a pet, perhaps because my apartment is full of puppets. I'm trapped under a pile of them now. But don't try to remove them, these are valuable!

The person below me will tell us about their FIRST pet. :D

My first pet was a cat named "Sam". That is also about all I can tell you, because I was 4 and he disappeared when they cut down the woods behind our house in basically a weekend. :(

Hey, I live here.
When tpbm composes an eplaya post, they wait until the end of the post before going back to correct misspellings, typos, and grammar, rather than back-spacing and retyping from the mistake.
