- 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. 187. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- What are a few of your least favorite things?
- Today I’d love…
- Outfit?
- Exactly where are you right now?
- Describe your favorite jacket to wear in the fall:

Not too shabby, tabby. I sawed logs last night and actually feel like I’m firing on all cylinders (for once!).
The smell of new plastic toys, vomiting in front of other people (ugh…), high-waisted pants, pretentious films, and chewy seafood (abalone, etc.).
…a pint of pistachio gelato and to get extra lurvies from Tabs.
My J. Brand 811 Jeans (they’re grafted to my body!), a black button-down sweater, a pair of yellow Seychelles wedge sandals, and a green, yellow, black and beige scarf.
I’m sitting on the left side of my living room couch with a laptop on my lap. Degrees Minutes Seconds: N 38° 6′ 26.6652″, W 122° 34′ 11.0136″, or thereabouts.
The Guess Metallic Faux Leather Scuba Jacket I picked up last year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s in basic black, so it goes with everything. Plus, it has a high neckline that keeps out the chill when there’s a breeze.
Hmm… Really? Well, maybe 1984? I know I had one growing up, although honestly, I have no idea why my parents let me have one. Those things are dangerous!
A dentist friend of mine (Mary Anne) advised me to always drink coffee, tea or red wine (highly pigmented/acidic beverages) through a straw to avoid staining your teeth. Yes, it looks goofy, especially when you’re drinking wine.
Podcasts help pass the time when you’re working out. Lately I’ve learned about the history of casinos, genetic diversity as it pertains to bananas, baseball and songwriting.
To dance every single day, even if it’s just to the Chipmunk’s version of 50 Cent’s Go Shorty, It’s Your Birthday in my living room.
WARNING: The following song may prompt you to throw something.
All sorts of wrong…but strangely satisfying!
I hope your week got off to a good start. No complaints on my end of the keyboard. I just finished a quick run, so I’m jacked up on endorphins right now.
Would you care for a delicious smoothie (frozen berries, vanilla yogurt and a dash of apple juice)? Have a seat, take a moment to fill out the Monday Poll, and I’ll make you one. 🙂

Hi Christina,
Ahh, I know what you mean re: getting stumped. Have you tried doing a “throwaway” draft? It’s basically when you write as fast as you can about all the ideas percolating in your mind. Then you print it out, grab a red pen (yes, it has to be red, LOL!) and start cutting. You’ll end up throwing away 90%, but within all that stuff you’ll find some gems that you can use to answer your essay prompt.

10. Weekly goals: just to have a great week. 🙂
Hi Nina,
I remember you mentioning having trubs sleeping on Sundays. Is it because you stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights?
I’m so jealous that it’s still hot out there. It rained here yesterday! It’s supposed to be warmer later on in the week (mid ’80s, and I’m crossing my fingers!) so I’m looking forward to that.
Are you still reading the same book?
i think it is because i stay up really really late fridays and saturdays. plus i drink a bunch of coffee on the weekend too!
its in the 90s today, with no relief in sight!
im almost done w/ a dance with dragons. last 100 pages … what to read after?

Tabs is MIA… I think he’s sleeping upstairs in his “spa” (aka the bathroom sink).
It’s Jazz! He’s the Bombay mix. He’s like a mini panther with a huge tummy. 😀 Rock n Roll is a domestic shorthair mix.
Aww, kittehs with huge tums are THE BEST. 🙂 How many pounds does he weigh?
Not really sure, but whenever he pounces off of my new makeup storage, it creaks and sways! He’s definitely not tiny! The cart is about 2 feet high and 1 foot wide.

8. Your two cents (beauty related)? Splurge on things that affect your skin (moisturizer, cleanser, foundation). If you have pretty skin, you can skimp on everything else!

At my desk, sitting in my office chair.

7. When was the last time you bounced on a pogo stick?
oh goodness. I don’t even know. Probably in the 90’s sometime.
8. Your two cents (beauty related)?
do whatever you like to make yourself look your best. If you feel like you’re at your best, you will be! To that end, though, always experiment with new things (makeup, hair, fashion, etc) to make sure you’re not boxing yourself in.

Be honest. Honesty is so so so important in just about every relationship you ever had (maybe besides work-related stuff, haha).

8. Your two cents (beauty related)? Eyebrows are key to a face! And, watch the hair on your upper lip… it can really change how your makeup goes on.
9. Your two cents (non-beauty related)? Smile everyday! And tell people you love them. I think those are important, because you never, ever know. Plus, if you smile, someone else is bound to!
10. Weekly goals: Get in as many hours at work as possible, write a good post for the blog I contribute to, and get a haircut. Short hair needs to be trimmed much more often than I do it…
Happy birthday, Bronwyn! How are you celebrating this year?
P.S. Great advice to smile everyday and to tell people you love them. Both are important.
Thank you Karen! I’m going to my family’s pub for a beer with a few close friends. Nothing exciting, it’s a Monday after all. It’ll just be nice to go out and enjoy something refreshing after a huge dinner with my family. Haha.

9. Your two cents (non-beauty related)? Enjoy life (responsibly and with respect for yourself and others). Don’t deprive yourself of food or drinks you love because you’re afraid of an extra pound or two. And don’t assume you know what other people prioritize or do in their free time, or worse, judge them based on your assumptions.
10. Weekly goals: Winterize the pool; keep on keeping on with the Insanity workouts; spend quality time with the Hubs (who’s been out of town for 2.5 weeks) and the boys. Oh, and make time to check my favorite blog every day! 🙂
Hi Kim!
The North Bay had the final summer hurrah last week. It was in the mid-90s… Man, I’m gonna miss walking around at night with just a t-shirt and shorts on.
How was your weekend? Did you have any soccer games?
I’m so glad you guys had a burst of warm weather, too. It’s making the transition to fall a little easier for us! 🙂
Yes, we had a tournament all day on Saturday. It was long and tiring (and the mosquitoes were relentless) but the boys had a great time playing and hanging out with their friends. All the proceeds benefit cancer research (it’s an annual memorial tournament for 2 local sisters who passed away several years ago), so it’s for a great cause too. 🙂 Only 2 more weeks and soccer will be done. Then we move into hockey!

Get a fire safe box to store important documents.
10. Weekly goals:
Just make it through the week. Work has been super busy lately and I’ll be happy once this latest deadline is met.

Hi Nikki,
You have an awesome week, too. Let me know how the soup turns out. 🙂
1. Mood: Not too shabby, for a Monday.
2. What are a few of your least favorite things? Lack of manners, lack of sleep, public restrooms, uncared-for hands & feet, having to walk by this one frat house & their horrifically-odoriferous garbage on the way to school…
3. Today I’d love…to get lots of studying done for my midterm tomorrow! I feel motivated today!
4. Outfit? Comfy, roomy, black knit Vivienne Tam top with those wide butterfly-style sleeves, white Hollister shorts, and black & white Converses! My hair is looking good today, too. Always a bonus, LOL.

1. Mood:
Very, VERY tired. My weekend was quite hectic/stressful.

My internet connection at the moment, which is too slow to function and the fact that my hair absolutely refuses to cooperate now that the weather has changed.
3. Today I’d love…
to spend some much-needed time with my boyfriend! Or just hang out with my furbabies–little Nero seems to have an interest in all of my makeup. Perhaps an internship with Tabs is in order? 🙂
4. Outfit?
A cream cardigan with ruffles, a colorful flower dress with yellow, blue, green, red, and white, and leggings!
5. Exactly where are you right now?
Sitting behind the desk at work (I work in a bookstore and it’s very slow at the moment!).
6. Describe your favorite jacket to wear in the fall.
Hmmm. I don’t think I have a favorite jacket at the moment! It used to be an old maroon jacket a friend gave me, but that one is too loved and tattered to wear!
7. When was the last time you bounced on a pogo stick?
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever done that, I was probably too afraid I would fall off and make a fool of myself as a kid (I still would).
8. Your two cents (beauty related)?

You should talk to one new person a day. You should always remain positive, because what else is there?

7. When was the last time you bounced on a pogo stick?: Not in a loooongg time.
8. Your two cents (beauty related)?: Drink lots of water, use body lotion after the shower (it keeps skin moist and prevents it from aging faster), self-tan DON’T tan in the sun or at a tanning salon, olive oil makes for a great deep conditioner (old Italian trick from my grandmother), and work out as much as you can. Working out not only makes you feel healthy and keeps you healthy, but it actually helps fight zits because you are sweating out toxins and other bad things for your body.
9. Your two cents (non-beauty related)?: If you notice something wrong (unusual swelling, lumps, numbness, tingling, pain) PLEASE go to your doctor or local ER. I have seen too many patients not get somewhere soon enough and it has devastating results (especially if they let it go on for a long time). It’s better to go and find out that it’s “nothing” then not go at all and let something potentially serious become irreversible. Also, as hard as it is to exercise, it’s something that will make you feel good, stay healthy, and look good.
10. Weekly goals: Start writing my term papers for 2 classes and get work education out of the way.
1. Mood: Not to bad for a Monday

“Fake” people, people who make fun of either mentally unstable people or people who are fat, or acne-prone or some other way considered “ugly”. Also the fact that society has made cutting acceptable.

A hoodie? It doesn’t get cold enough to wear much more than that in the fall in Texas.
7. When was the last time you bounced on a pogo stick?
I don’t think I ever have….
8. Your two cents (beauty related)?
Makeup really isn’t essential to be pretty. Proper skin care, will make a better difference then pounds of foundation.
9. Your two cents (non-beauty related)?
Get off your lazy butt and get what you need done before midnight. That way you have time for “me” time before you go to sleep.
10. Weekly goals:
Work-out more often, and stop eating so many darn cookies !
Hey Marina,
I’m sorry to hear about your friend. It really sucks to feel helpless. 🙁 Is there a counselor or someone you can talk to who can help brainstorm ways to get through to your friend?
1. Mood: Agitated. My supervisor was an hour and half late to a meeting we had (after she yelled at me for being “unprofessional” by not scheduling a meeting with her.. ironic, no?), making me late for my bus then I missed my train and it was just a whole mess.

1. Mood: Restless. Waiting for How I Met Your Mother to come on, anyone?
2. What are a few of your least favorite things? Mmmmm…my hair, which is a wierd combination of oily/dry, curly/straight, long/sort. But at least it’s got a nice natural blonde color! And also humidity, buying yet another acne solution that proves to be a failure, and sunny days. (I know, I know, go ahead and hate on me. I’m just a rainy/snowy kind of girl, what can I say?)
3. Today I’d love…to fly to New York City!
4. Outfit? Can’t say it’s anything exciting, just comfy clothes, but what I WOULD be wearing if, say, Ryan Gosling were to be coming over…this awesome Wildfox Couture tee I got in Montreal for the low low price of $86 (I couldn’t help myslef! It was too cute!)
