- 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. 158. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- A delectable dish you couldn’t live without?

- Weekly goals:
Happy and relaxed.
Pasta! I swear I could eat it every day.
A long, hot shower followed by a date with the couch, a cup of hot tea and a good book. I know it sounds cliche, but that’s because it really is divine.
At this very moment, my workout clothes: light gray yoga capris, a pink t-shirt and a white and gray patterned long-sleeve hoodie.
“Rhinoplasty”, with “ointment” coming in a close second.
A really, REALLY tan Reese Witherspoon. 🙂
MAC Nymphette. Hands down.
Tabs used to be an indoor/outdoor kitty, and every once in a while he’d stay out for a day or two before returning home. Once, however, after we hadn’t seen or heard from him in almost a week, we took to the neighborhood streets, calling for him and checking all the familiar places (he liked to play with one of our neighbor’s cats), but he was nowhere to be found. Broken hearted, we began to brace ourselves for the worst.
Then, one afternoon after attending the funeral of a family friend, we were returning home, sad and emotionally raw. I was crying as I climbed the stairs up to our apartment when I heard a familiar meow. I looked down, and there was Tabs, his bright, shining eyes staring up at me. “Tabs!” I called, and he came bounding up the stairs to my side.
He stayed with us that entire night, not wanting to be let back outside, and that was the only time he’s been gone for more than a couple of days (knock on wood). I never did find out what happened or where he went… It must have been a business trip.
I’m thinking a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup sounds pretty darn good.
To squeeze in a bit of extra house cleaning (the place is a hot mess!), and to be fearless in whatever I do (even the housecleaning, LOL!).
Happy Monday, cutie. 🙂 It’s another cold, dreary day here in Northern California, but that’s okay because I feel rather sunny inside. Today’s a federal/bank holiday here in the United States (President’s Day), so a lot of people have the day off from work. Tabs said I only had to work a half day, which was unusually kind of him, so I plan to do some house cleaning while I catch a few chick flicks to pass the time: Dirty Dancing, Titanic and Under the Tuscan Sun. They’re movies I could watch over and over again (and do), much to El Hub’s dismay… I can already here him groaning with pain, haha!
Anywho, what are you up to today? Do you have a few minutes to say hi?

4. Outfit: Jeans, really soft purple shirt and a little grey cardigan. It’s cold here, especially since I’m in the basement.
5. Least favorite word: I’ve never thought of a word that I don’t like.. but I guess I’d have to say that C*** word related to females. I think its really insulting, and I always say “call me b*tch, call me a jerk, call me anything but that”
6. Celebrity who would ideally play you in a movie: Well, as a youngun, it would be Lindsay Lohan(WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG.. we’re talking Parent Trap days), but now?

7. All-time favorite lipgloss: oo. This is a hard one. I would say I have a crush on Mother Pucker lipgloss in the peach shade, or my recent Rimmel Vinyl gloss(in an unknown colour, because I’m blanking!)
8. Best memory of your pet? Oh man. there’s so many with my dog. He’s a border collie.. super smart. I used to train him in a children’s/teen’s association for a competition similar to “Super Dogs”, and we went through the course, and he was PERFECT. And then he started noticing all the people in the crowd he could visit.. so 2nd runthrough, and he just kept veering to the crowd to make friends.
Another one: He loves to play and “fetch” anything. but the thing is, he returns whatever he’s fetching about 10 ft infront of you. So we would always try to trick him and throw 2 different things in consecutive order. Well we were playing with a bucket, and I threw a ball. He carried(GET THIS!) the bucket over to the ball, picked up the ball and put it in the bucket, and carried the bucket with the ball back to me. Unbelievable.
9. What’s for lunch? Oh I don’t know. Its a holiday here(just in my province), but I’m working as I want to take half a day off later this week. We had oatmeal and yogurt about an hour ago, so I dont know when I’ll get to lunch. Going over to my parent’s place this afternoon to help my brother(chef) and my mom make homemade pasta. So I’m pretty sure I’ll try to gobble that up.

Wow just one? Okay, the first year we had Missy she had gone out for her usual rounds in the neighborhood. We left a door open so she could come back in from the outside, through the garage and into the house. I was typing on the computer and only noticed her come in out of the corner of my eye. I realized she was carrying something. I looked to see what it was and it turns out it was a very small, very pink dog sweater with a feather boa type collar! I don’t even want to imagine how she got this… I had images of her wrestling a drag queen chihuahua for it!
She still has it after all these years. She likes to move it around the house in the middle of the night. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and it’s lying by my bed on the floor. I have no idea the motivation behind this…

My mom and I took him home, but weren’t totally clear on his walking schedule. We went to bed as usual, but when I woke up in the morning, he had left two little surprises by the toilet. Not in it, not on it, but just as the base he did his thing. It blew me away to how smart he was, even though I had a bit of a clean up to do.
