I'm not sure if it's something light, but I mostly read horror, thriller, or murder mysteries.

Early riser on the weekend or sleep in?

Early riser.

Read a novella or collection of short stories?

Collection of shorts, I think. Seem to lack the focus for longer pieces right now.

Online. I do not shop much but when I do I find it easier to shop online. Sometimes I like going in person to thrift stores. The only exception is for gardening. Then I prefer in person. Visiting the nurseries around here is so serene and beautiful.

Peanut butter: Creamy or With nuts?

Or neither? Don't like the texture.

Smiley, silly jack o'lantern or spooky, scary jack o'lantern? (hey only a month and a half to Hallowe'en, eh).

Spooky

Staying with Halloween...

Trick or treat at home or go on a haunted house tour?

Haunted house. Our neighbourhood is undergoing renewal right now (empty nesters leaving and new families starting to arrive) so trick or treat has been rather, um, dead the last decade or so. Basically since my son's crowd left for university.

Scary costume or fun costume?

How about a scary, fun costume?

Cream

Watch TV AND listen to music (not at the same time) while NOT exercising.

Listen to a CD or watch the same music on a DVD/Bluray?

I think it would depend on the music.

In the turkey is generally better, I find.
