- 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 three years, which I guess makes this somewhere around Vol. 196. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- What do you miss?
- Which makeup counters do you visit first when you swing by a Nordstrom or other department store?
- Which would you choose if you could have all of the eyeshadows you could ever want, lipsticks or blushes?
- What would you like to do on your next birthday?
- Are you a Mac or a PC?
- Have you ever seen a ghost?
- List three good things about your life right now:
- What’s something that you think tastes better fried?
- Weekly goals:
Quietly overjoyed. 🙂 The last four days have been hectic, so I’m relishing the sound of silence right now.
Having long stretches of downtime, like I had back when I was in school. I also miss not having any/many responsibilities. Now it’s always go-go-go! And it seems like there’s always something to worry about, ya know?
MAC, Chanel and NARS, usually in that order.
OOH! Tough question…but I think I’d go with the blushes. Blush is a makeup must for me. Without it I look exhausted, no matter how much sleep I’ve had.
Sleep in, and then spend the afternoon surfing in a tropical ocean. Then, a big meal that night with all of my friends and family, and an ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins for dessert.
Mac all the way! 
I think I have… It was about 10 years ago at my parents’ house, and it was terrifying!
1) I enjoy my job, 2) I like where I live, and 3) I just realized that I can fit into a pair of pants again that have been too tight for the past three years.
Potatoes. And they’re not simply better. They’re epic!
To tidy up my desk, which has gotten so out-of-control messy that I can’t see any of the desk’s actual surface area anymore; to write in my journal each and every morning; and to pay some extra attention to Tabs. He’s been acting up lately…
Back again after a long weekend, friend. 🙂 How’s it going out there? Anyone else suffering from a holiday food hangover? I think I’m still digesting my dinner from Thursday, LOL! Oh, so much stuffing, mashed potatoes and pecan pie…
What was your favorite dish on Thanksgiving? Do tell!
If you feel a little out of it this morning, you’re not alone. Sometimes it helps to ease your way back into the grind with something fun like the Monday Poll.

Best episode of this weak season by far. Those last 15-20 minutes made me howl.
Hi Katie,
It got totally Lord of the Flies at the end, didn’t it? Did you scream when you saw Sophia walk out of the barn? OH MY!
A co-worker of mine ruined the ending of the episode for me, but I still was shocked to see poor little Sophia. 🙁 I can honestly say I never saw that one coming, I always thought they’d find her! I agree with you Katie, best episode yet!

3. Which makeup counters do you visit first when you swing by a Nordstrom or other department store? Usually brands that they do not have in Norway like NARS, Urban Decay and Benefit.

Hi DalaLuz,
WORD on bananas being awesome when fried. 🙂
I have also been putting off boring admin things and am thinking of resorting to bribery to get it all done. Maybe reward yourself with a lipstick when you finally make that call to plan the operation?

10. Weekly goals: probably assembling the Ikea sofa that has been sitting around for a few weeks and finishing projects that are due next week
Oh Let, I feel you on the Ikea. I have two sets of drawers that’ve been sitting around for a YEAR and I still have yet to put them together. Supposedly Ikea offers a service where they go out to your house and put stuff together for you. I might have to break down because there’s no way I’m going to spend an afternoon sifting through the 300 different screws. WAH!
Ikea outsources the assembling service. I tried contacting the assembling company (I’m in Seattle btw), but they wanted to charge me more than half the price of the sofa itself. No way I’m gonna pay that much…
Hopefully the assembly fee is cheaper in California. 🙂 Ikea’s wooden furniture is tricky to assembly. I swear the size of the holes on my bookcase are very small compared to the size of the screws…

5. What would you like to do on your next birthday? Stroll through the arboretum at Penn State. It’s very peaceful and gives me time to reflect and appreciate. It’s not too big to feel rushed. A half hour is all I need.

3. Which makeup counters do you visit first when you swing by a Nordstrom or other department store? We have Holt Renfrew and The Bay up here, so I usually stop at MAC, Chanel, Dior and NARS. If at Holt’s, I stop by Armani, Bobbi Brown and Shu Uemura.
4. Which would you choose if you could have all of the eyeshadows you could ever want, lipsticks or blushes? Probably blush because it would last longer. Then mixed with a bit of chapstick, it becomes an instant lip stain.
5. What would you like to do on your next birthday? Funny you should ask, mine is next week 😉 I am thankfully off, so I will sleep in and probably go for an easy run in the morning. I am thinking of going to the Chocoholic buffet at the Sutton Place Hotel, or the seafood appetizer buffet and dessert buffet at the Hotel Vancouver.

I think I’d take lipsticks. I’m still really new (And bad) at applying eyeshadows, and my face is always flushed so I think I’ll pass the blushers.
5. What would you like to do on your next birthday?
Hmm I don’t know yet 🙂 Probably go on a holiday? But by my next birthday I would’ve moved to Singapore for my Masters degree, so I’d probably still be settling in. Maybe a nice touristy jaunt around the island?
6. Are you a Mac or a PC?
While I do like both in their own ways (They have their pros and cons, come on) I’ve been using PC all my life haha!
7. Have you ever seen a ghost?
If you believe in the third eye, then I do see them pretty often. But it’s not “always on” or as vivid as you see in movies. I have to “tune in” and usually it’s more of a shadowy figure, but you can “feel” how it’s like.
8. List three good things about your life right now:
a. My family
b. My boyfriend
c. My pets
9. What’s something that you think tastes better fried?
Believe it or not, I just discovered fried bittergourd! Definitely takes about 80-90% of the raw bitterness away.
