- 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. 177. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- Speaking of which, “At least…”
- Hoops or studs?
- Snakeskin prints: yea or nay?
- When was the last time you wore teal eyeshadow?
- One day I’m going to…
- Your favorite product to conceal pimples (but not necessarily under-eye circles)?
- Today’s accessories?
- Three things I love about myself:
- Weekly goals:
Pretty good, but it was touch and go there until I cranked out an “At least…” list. It’s a trick I use to improve my outlook and snap myself out of funks, like those that seem to accompany many Monday mornings.
What I do is give myself 10 minutes to finish as many sentences as I can that start with the words, “At least…” like, “At least my cat is only a partial psycho, and not a total and complete psycho bent on making my life a living hell,” and, “At least I have opposable thumbs.”
Usually helps. 🙂
At least I’m not on a reality TV show and having Orange County housewives throw drinks in my face. At least I’m not in a hot tub with Flava Flav and a bunch of hoochies wearing butt floss. At least my teeth aren’t shaped like vampire fangs. At least I have my health.
Studs for work; hoops for play.
Yea, but only on shoes and bags (and not both at the same time).
Last week! It’s one of my current favorite colors to play with.
Figure it all out. Everything. But until then, I’m just gonna do my best and try to enjoy being a work in progress.
I haven’t found one I’m really happy with for pimples. Got any recs?
My wedding ring, a pair of bow-shaped Kate Spade studs and Tiffany silver bangles.
1) That I don’t take myself (“Allow myself to introduce…myself.” -Austin Powers) too seriously, 2) that I’m sensitive, and 3) my blueberry/peach cobbler (I make a mean one, boo!).
Not much. Just to stay positive and focused on good thoughts. Oh, and to make an appointment to get my hair did. It’s the roots… They’re taking over, and it’s not pretty.
So…please, please tell me you watched the new True Blood last night because I’m dying to dish! I promise, no spoilers (except in the comments, where it’s fair game), but I think it’s safe to mention that I was quite pleased with the amount of shirtless-ness in the episode. Yes, that was most appreciated. 😀
In music news, I’ve been listening to Pat Benetar’s (or Pat Nebetar, for the Beavis and Butthead fans among us) Love Is a Battlefield for two straight days, and I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED until it’s stuck in your head, too.
Now, on to the Monday Poll (Love Is a Battlefield)!

Totally true! And I love his beard…very manly. 😛
That song reminds me of karaoke and legwarmers and makes my day all the brighter.
1. Mood:
Manic and feline – I blame the sudden rush of vitamin D to my system and I’m glad that I don’t know anyone sexy and/or trouble cause I’d likely end up fired and/or in prison with the way I’d relate to that set of stimuli at the moment.

I’m old enough to know better, even the data argues to the contrary.

I knew you’d love it! 😀 Yeah they have really nice and pretty things, and the line is new to me too, but simply gorgeous!

9. Three things I love about myself: I can alway seem to make people laugh; I’m a damn good (self-taught) cake decorator; when I want to learn about something – I absorb myself in it.

10. Weekly goals: Organize my nailpolish! Drink more water, and find a pair of summer dress pants for the office that AREN’T CAPRI PANTS!! (*Dear Fashion Industry, I’m 5’3 and capri pants just make me look shorter. WTF? Lose this fashion trend please. Love, Short Peeps)
So….hubby fell asleep and I finished True Blood by myself. Can we talk about how there is no way I could just ‘hug” Alcide. A topless (at least) picture of him should be hanging in every gym in America with a sign that says “Yes guys, this is what we want” UHHH…..I don’t smoke but I needed a cigarette when he stripped down. I wouldn’t turn away either Sookie!!! Don’t be ashamed girl!!!
Uhh….and Bill’s evening visit with his lawyer friend was….um…revealing. Eh. Nice one True Blood!
1. Mood: Hungry for some Panera Bread :O But mostly relaxed 🙂

8. Today’s accessories? None. Lazy day 😀
9. Three things I love about myself: Ok this one’s difficult, there’s not much I love or even like about myself, cough cough…1) my vanilla cupcakes, 2) my love for my kitty Yeyo, the only one who has really stolen my heart!, and 3), my hair…today 😀
10. Weekly goals: Get some new clothes for the semester and try not to make a mess in my sister’s house.
OK TRUE BLOOD TIME: Just how hot was that episode? And what is that witch’s deal with vampires? As far as we’ve seen, she was killed by humans, not vampires. Hate her for doing that to Pam’s beautiful face >_< I also feel so so bad for Jason…let's just hope he didn't get any diseases from those hicks :/
I certainly was very fond of the lack of shirts, LOL!
So, I take it the witch either knows the vamps or maybe she’s got a serious chip on her shoulder? I love, LOVE Pam, and was pretty cranky about that scene, too.
Also, did you catch it when that one lady said that Jason was better than her “brother husband”?!? ZOMG!
1. Mood: ok
2. At least… I am healthy.
3. Hoops or studs? hoops
4. Snakeskin prints: yea or nay? nay
5. When was the last time you wore teal eyeshadow? a week ago

7. Your favorite product to conceal pimples? haven’t found it yet..
8. Today’s accessories? a simple whit gold ring.

I think you’ll like the episode, Gio!
1. Mood: It’s Monday, so that means TIRED! 🙂
2. At least… OMG, at least I don’t snort when reading every line you write… only about 80%. At least I’m not orange and on TV (Sorry, Suze Orman, just saw ya while flipping through the other night). At least we have air conditioning in the office since it’s like the Serengeti outside. 🙂
3. Hoops or studs? Only studs and only diamond. And I only have one pair. HAHA!
4. Snakeskin prints: yea or nay? Nay for me; heaven forbid I wear a print!
5. When was the last time you wore teal eyeshadow? 1989ish? 🙂
6. One day I’m going to…. be less tired and have more patience.
7. Your favorite product to conceal pimples? I usually just dab on a bit of loose powder and hope for the best.
8. Today’s accessories? The usual: engagement ring/wedding band (Tiffany); watch (Citizen EcoDrive), diamond studs.
9. Three things I love about myself: Just 3? No way; couldn’t possibly limit it to just three. 🙂 How about this? I love everything except these 3 things: I’m too impatient, I am only ambitious in spurts and I like to eat and drink a bit too much.
10. Weekly goals: Recover from last week. What a doozy! The boys had a blast at hockey camp; our pool is up and running and the Hubs will be home tomorrow (after being gone for almost 2 weeks). Yay!
I liked last night’s TB, too! I think about 50 more minutes of Eric would have made it a bit better. hee hee! I might take back what I said about Marney – I think the new spell-spitting evil witch taking over her body could be an interesting addition. And I was definitely laughing at Pam’s rant. She’s just such a b*tch. I like her, but didn’t mind her being knocked down a couple of pegs. Have to keep these vamps on their toes. Of course, my first thought was “thank goodness Eric wasn’t there; I wouldn’t want to see his pretty face deformed!”. Sad. 🙂
1. Mood: Eh. Gross heat and humidity. I’m not too keen on Summer.
2. At least…: I put an AC in my bedroom window on Saturday!
3. Hoops or studs?: I prefer studs, but the hoops I have in now are little (there’s no space between the bottom of the hook and my earlobe) so they’re practically like studs!
4. Snakeskin prints: yea or nay?: Nay for me, but they can work for some people
5. When was the last time you wore teal eyeshadow?: I don’t think I’ve ever worn teal eyeshadow!
6. One day I’m going to…: travel!
7. Your favorite product to conceal pimples?: Still trying to find the perfect products. I’ve been using the Urban Decay 24/7 concealer stick with Bare Minerals foundation on top. It’s been ok for now.
8. Today’s accessories?: a pair of silver earrings that were my grandmother’s, a silver necklace with a cursive “M” on a small pendant with a little diamond ring on the chain that was mine when I was a baby, and a Swatch watch.
9. Three things I love about myself:
a) My patience
b) My intelligence
c) My family

6. One day I’m going to….bare my stomach in Zumba class after my abs start taking after Shakira
7. Your favorite product to conceal pimples? Let’s be honest, nothing really works well. But a new treatment that I’ve tried works pretty good and is only $1. ELF cosmetics Zit Zapper.
8. Today’s accessories? Just my wedding ring and gold hoops
9. Three things I love about myself: I absorb myself in anything I’m trying to learn about, I’m a great organizer, and I’m never happy with status quo.
10. Weekly goals: Eat more fresh veggies and drink lots of water (it’s blazingly hot here). and find something to organize my nailpolish.
So, can we talk about TB?
1. Um, there is NO, WAY, I could just “hug” Alcide. Damn Sookie has some self control! There should be a picture of that man’s abs in EVERY gym in America with a sign that says, “yes guys, we’ll take this please”
2. I felt bad for Jason. He’s an idiot sometimes but, I wanted to cry for him.
3. How creepy was Bill’s evening with the lawyer chick, uhhh eww. Thanks for that True Blood.
4. Poor, poor Pam
1. Mood: alright, despite feeling rather ill at the moment =(.
2. At least… i’m alive!
3. Hoops or studs? i prefer the look of hoops although i don’t actually own any.
4. Snakeskin prints: yea or nay? yea, but in moderation. i quite like snake print fabrics, actually.
5. When was the last time you wore teal eyeshadow? a while ago, i think. it was probably for a look i did on the blog.

7. Your favorite product to conceal pimples? like you, i haven’t found one yet… though i find the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation does a good enough job…
8. Today’s accessories? just my vogue glasses.
9. Three things I love about myself: my hair (i have pretty awesome hair), my ability to empathize and my unique, infectious laugh!
10. Weekly goals: WRITE MORE BLOG POSTS!
I love “Love is a Battlefield”. It also makes me think of 13 Going on 30 with Jennifer Garner. That movie is awesome.
1. Mood: Blah. I had a migraine all night. I woke up and it was gone. But now it’s coming back. Booo!
2. At least… I can wear short shorts and a tank top to work. Since I work from home.
3. Hoops or studs? Neither. I have “plus” in my ears, so the only traditional earrings I can wear are the ones with the swoosh hook. Dangly earrings.
4. Snakeskin prints: yea or nay? Well, I’ve never owned anything with a snake print, but I’m not against it.

TGIM! And I can talk about True Blood with some fellow followers! 🙂 Sookie makes me so mad! I don’t know how she can be so angry and afraid of Eric. In the past he has done some wrong, but really, he has never intentionally hurt her or tried to cause her pain..I feel like the writers are going to make it happen between them but then take it away when he gets his memory back or something..bittersweet.
How is Eric connected to the thing with Marnie/old witch lady? Eric said before when he was talking to Sookie about what happened that “it was HER and it wasn’t HER,â€â€¦but she was killed by humans? Also what is up with that creepy doll?

Here, here on it not being winter.
I’ll have to look into some Select Coverup next time I hit up the MAC store. Have you tried the Pro Longwear Concealer yet? It’s the bomb.com for dark circles.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I will! I have to place a MAC order today. It’s too dangerous for me to go into a store, because given my profession, I feel that I can justify buying everything. I somehow have more control when I purchase online…
Have a good weekend!

9. Three things I love about myself: My determination, my sense of organization, and

1. Mood: A bit anxious but I’m feeling a lot more like myself. I had a pretty discouraging moment last Thursday but after seeing the new Harry Potter movie and realizing that my friends and family are there for me no matter what… well, it made me feel a whole lot better 🙂
2. At least…I have a fan in my apartment because my complex doesn’t have AC 😛
3. Hoops or studs? I used to be more of a studs girl but I am finding the appeal in hoops. I have a double lobe and cartilage piercing on my right ear and think it would be cool to have all hoops in them (I just have one lobe piercing in my left ear). My right ear piercings were my “I’m in college and I’m awesome” sort of declaration XP I’m actually really shy and conservative X)

7. Your favorite product to conceal pimples? I use Bare Escentual’s Multi-Tasking Powder in Honey Bisque (I think that’s what it’s called) to tone down pimples. It works pretty well for me but I love trying to find new concealer products!
8. Today’s accessories? … My watch? XD I am still in my PJs because it’s a lazy day at my place before I have to drive up to the UCSD area (I have summer classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I really like to chill and/or catch up on homework on Mondays.
9. Three things I love about myself: a) My compassion b) My loyalty to friends and family c) My sheer determination
10. Weekly goals: Finally get started on my PharmCAS personal statement! XD I love writing like crazy but it’s so hard to just sit down and write a personal statement!

I will sit myself down with a Starbucks treat and type away!
1. Mood: I’m a bit cranky and lazy.

Hi Suri,
Amen to all of your “at leasts.”
Also, what meals are you making this week? Are you a meal planner or do you just wing it? I’m not a good enough cook to improvise so I have to plan everything out beforehand.
Oh yeah True Blood was yumtastic last night. Eric, Jason and Alcide shirtless? Swoon.
Um, SWOON indeed! I’m just waiting for Debbie to go bat sh*t crazy! I have a feeling she’s gonna snap very soon.
(I thought this went through before… XD)
1. Mood: A bit anxious but I’m feeling a lot more like myself. I had a pretty discouraging moment last Thursday but after seeing the new Harry Potter movie and realizing that my friends and family are there for me no matter what… well, it made me feel a whole lot better 🙂

1. Mood:
Tired and hot. We’re having a heat wave here! It’s 91 here, but it feels like 98 with the humidity! I’m going to die!

I’m not in Fort Hood, TX. It feels like ONE HUNDRED AND SIX there. I’ll take 98.

5. When was the last time you wore teal eyeshadow?
A month ago.
6. One day I’m going to…
Go back to Bamberg, Germany, where I was born. Did you know it’s only the walled city in Germany (and pretty much the rest of Europe) that escaped bombing in the World Wars? There were firefights that went over Bamberg and with Bamberg in the middle, but Bamberg only has a few tiny bullet holes saying, “Hey, I was there! See?” Bamberg is pretty interesting as it has a much, much, much MUCH darker side too. Much worse than I think True Blood can ever think up of.

I don’t conceal them. I let get as much air as possible!
8. Today’s accessories?
Studs so far. But knowing me, my watch is coming with me!

Hey, at least it’s not cold!
Karen,
I don’t know. I’m not sure whether I want the cold or the heat. It’s really the humidity that’s killing it all! It’s like breathing sticky paper here!
P.S. Apparently, my e-mail has been hacked. If you get any e-mails from me with weird links that don’t say “Hi, Karen,” first and have my name signed (or just say “Re:” in the subject line), just delete them. I’m a bit proper with my letter writing! I’m working on changing my password and everything, but I kinda locked myself from changing my password from being a bit upset. Grrrrrr. I’ve had that e-mail for over 10 years and it’s never been hacked so it’s kind of upsetting!
1. Mood: Good, but super tired!
2. At least…I’m still alive!
3. Hoops or studs? Studs, I think I am too clumsy for hoops.
4. Snakeskin prints: yea or nay? On certain things, yea, but 95% of things, nay.
