You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Well, it isn’t much of a poll. It’s more just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Have you ever owned a Caboodle?
YES, and I still have it, LOL! My grandma bought it for me many moons ago. It’s mint green and pink, and I keep old costume jewelry in it from my teen years that I don’t wear anymore but can’t part with.Funny thing is…I don’t think I ever kept makeup in it. I’ve always used it for jewelry and knick-knacks.
- What’s the first thing you do when you get to work?
Well, the workday here at Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC, starts early. First, I make a pot of coffee, and then clean off my desk, which isusuallyalways a mess from the day before. - What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?
Hmm… Well, the first thing that comes to mind was when I left a secure job working in the legal department for a big company to pursue freelance writing some years ago.Thank goodness for El Hub…because without his encouragement, I don’t think I would’ve done that on my own.
- How often do you entertain?
Rarely, but not because I don’t want to. I just don’t ever feel like I have enough time to get it together to invite people over, plan a meal, then clean and cook. - What’s one of your mottos?
“Please leave your crazy at the door.” - How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
Around 7-8, which is enough for me to function, but not enough to be my best. I think I do my best when I get — no kidding — 10-12 hours of sleep. - We’re rollin’ up to In-N-Out for lunch! What would you like?
A grilled cheese with grilled onions, tomato and lettuce (cut in half please). Also, fries and a vanilla shake.I’ll run it all off later (I hope).
- What three things never fail to make you smile?
When men hold and coo at babies, watching kittens (especially tabbies) play, seeing something I’ve been wanting to buy go on sale (YES!). - What mascara are you wearing today?
MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash. We fell out of love for a while, but we’re back together again. - When was the last time you saw a rainbow?
It has been a while, but then we haven’t seen much rain here in California this year…May 2012, I think?
Now it’s your turn. Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em! 🙂

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, everyone. Are you taking the day off? Things are proceeding as usual here at Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC. Tabs figures that jumping right back into the regular work schedule will help distract us from the heartbreak of the 49ers losing the game yesterday (he doesn’t want to talk about it).
Hope you’re having a nice day so far. I’m about to make a second cup of coffee. Would you like one, too?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Nothing serious, I love rollercoasters. The steeper and faster the better. I am not usually a risk taker.

Happy babies playing or laughing. Getting a deal on something I want. Anything funny like videos, jokes, etc.

A long time ago, perhaps elementary school. I remember the rainbow not when I saw it if that makes sense.
1. Have you ever owned a Caboodle?

2. What’s the first thing you do when you first get to work?
–ditch my coat, hat and gloves, turn on my computer and then go make a big cup of tea!!
3. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?
–when I was younger (and QUITE naive of the dangers of the world), I chased after a shoplifting duo that I had witnessed in a United Colors of Benetton store that doesn’t even exist anymore. Needless to say, in today’s violent climate, I would not do the same…..
4. How often do you entertain?
–rarely ever….we’re QUITE the homebodies and rarely go out—I think it’s because of the toddler in our midst—she occupies most of our free time!
5. What’s one of your mottos?
–“easy-peasy lemon squeezy”….my daughter giggles when I say it 🙂
6. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?

7. We’re rollin’ up to In-N-Out for lunch! What would you like to order?
–well, a cheeseburger (NO lettuce or onion, please) and a root beer–thanks for offering! 😉
8. What three things never fail to make you smile?
–my daughter’s giggle, hugs from my husband and a good cup of tea!
9. What mascara are you wearing today?
–based on your review, I’m trying the dual-ended CoverGirl BOMBSHELL VOLUME by LashBlast mascara in Very Black…I’ve been wearing it now for about a week and while the first day was a bit brutal (my eyes itched to HOLY HECK!), I’ve since gotten used to the formula and love that it wears and doesn’t rub off—I even accidently slept in it one night and didn’t have my usually RACCOON eyes the following morning, like with other brands—so far so good!
10. When was the last time you saw a rainbow?
–I would have to say October, just before it started to get really cold here on the east coast.

Sip coffee. I need coffee in order to function.
3. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?
I think quitting my job and moving to NYC was and still is the bravest thing I’ve ever done. But not only do I have the support and encouragement of family and friends, so many people in this loving beauty industry are uber supportive, too.
4. How often do you entertain?
I haven’t since moving to NYC. I need to furnish my apartment before I can really have guests over. The last time I had a friend over we just watched YouTube videos and took a nap.

10. When was the last time you saw a rainbow?
A few months ago I believe. Hmmm…
1. Have you ever owned a Caboodle?
~Can’t say I have.
2. What’s the first thing you do when you first get to work?
~I’ve had about 2 totally different jobs now, but in the ER I used to like to get there early and check out what was going on. I also had a routine down for the mornings (usually stocking needed to be done, or else we wouldn’t have what we needed for the day). In my other job, we had PT (physical training) first thing in the morning on the day schedule.
3. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?
~For me, maintaining a positive attitude and being self-motivated when all the odds have been against me. It helps when you have support at home when you are taking a big leap from a “safe” job to one where you aren’t sure what will happen. It’s hard to be positive when there are some people in this world who are determined to make you feel horrible about things beyond your control. It’s hard to help others when you aren’t sure about things yourself, but I’ve done it.
4. How often do you entertain?
~Not very often…like you, I feel like there isn’t enough time to plan, cook, and clean. I think I like it in theory more than I actually like doing it.
5. What’s one of your mottos?
~one of my mottos is now one of husband’s “you are in charge of how you feel.” I love that one because it reminds me that someone can try to make me feel bad, but only I can decide if it will get to me. I’m human, I want to be liked and get along with everyone just like the rest of us, but I also realize that there are just some people out there that can’t play nice no matter what.
6. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
~5 to 8, but also like you I need about 10 to 12 to feel well rested.
7. We’re rollin’ up to In-N-Out for lunch! What would you like to order?
~Hmmmmm….what all is at In N Out? We don’t have any of those around here. We do have a Steak N Shake in Virginia that has some awesome shakes and burgers. I like the Salted Caramel Pretzel Shake with the Wisconsin Butter Burger.
8. What three things never fail to make you smile?
~puppies, a good run/workout, and getting things organized.
9. What mascara are you wearing today?
~None, because I will be going for a run in the balmy 50 degree weather we are having here today. And yet tomorrow we are supposed to be in another “polar vortex” and have 5 to 8 inches of snow. Go figure, this is life in MD lately.
10. When was the last time you saw a rainbow?
~Not since some of the thunderstorms we had last summer.
1. Have you ever owned a Caboodle? No.
2. What’s the first thing you do when you first get to work? Start the laptop.

6. How many hours of sleep do you get a night? 5-6,5 during the week 7-8 on weekends.
7. We’re rollin’ up to In-N-Out for lunch! What would you like to order? Some Thai or Mexican food, really spicey please, and I don’t mind desert (any kind after it).
8. What three things never fail to make you smile? Sunrise/sunset, my niece, call from a friend

Big pot of tea. I’m a therapist, so I pray for my clients and for myself to be guided well as I help them.
3. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?
I don’t know if it’s the bravest thing, but a big scary Viet Nam vet was making racist slurs/swearing at the server at Subway (who was doing a good job and being super polite the whole time), and no one else said anything, and I started an argument with him, defending the server, who seemed to be an immigrant from Asia.
