- 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. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Mood:
- Do you have any habits you’d like to break?
- What will you remember most about 2011?
- How do you feel about colorful jeans?
- One of the most important lessons you learned last year?
- Are you craving anything at this very moment?
- What’s going to be different in 2012?
- Sunrise or sunset?
- Three of your favorite eye liners?
- Weekly goals:
Mellow.
Perfectionism. I actually had to look up that word in my dictionary because I was only 99 percent sure of the spelling. See, why do I care about things like that? It’s exhausting, and I’m so over it…
Traveling. I did a little more of it than usual last year and got to discover some neat places like Toronto and Vancouver.
I feel good about them, but only if they’re skinny jeans, because for some reason colorful wide-leg or flared jeans make me feel extra short.
That asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of wisdom, and it takes true grit (Ha! I’ve been dying to say that).
A big, steaming bowl of Vietnamese pho noodle soup and a piping hot Krispy Kreme doughnut for dessert.
I’m gonna jump on that horse and take the reins! For years now I’ve felt like a passenger on a raft being swept down a river. I haven’t felt fully in control of my time, my finances or my house (after two years here, I still have an unfurnished dining room!), so that’s one of my big goals for 2012, to get control of the raft again.
Sunset.
Laura Mercier Stormy Grey, MAC Powersurge and LORAC Front of the Line Pro.
To be extra kind to myself, to attend two yoga classes, and to get to bed before midnight every day this week.

🙂 no, it’s true, you actually don’t need to know it, it’s poison!
You can buy it at IKEA here in Europe, so they probably carry it in the US as well, I guess. It’s a Swedish pie with cream, some red berry jam and a light cake bottom. Here’s some more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prinsesst%C3%A5rta

2. Do you have any habits you’d like to break? I would like to stop eating too fast (and instead, take some minutes between bites) and gorging junk food just “because” or “to treat myself.”
3. What will you remember most about 2011? It was a really tough year, but I’ve learned a lot that I hope to keep in mind for 2012.
4. How do you feel about colorful jeans? I don’t hate ’em. I don’t any colorful jeans and I’m not actively looking for any, but I’d like to own a pair of red skinny jeans. Red is punchy, but versatile!
5. One of the most important lessons you learned last year? Similar to the first comment above, you don’t have to be a Superwoman. This is tough for me, as getting rid of perfectionism is something I’ve continuously worked on. Being less than perfect and not meeting others’ expectations is OK.

5. One of the most important lessons you learned last year?
This too shall pass.
6. Are you craving anything at this very moment?
A nap, if you can crave a nap, that is.

1. Mood:
~Content. Today is the first day in a long time where I haven’t had anything pressing to do for work or school. First day in months.
2. Do you have any habits you’d like to break?
~I am a perfectionist, and I need to learn to go with the flow on certain things. It’s been a proven fact many times that when I relax, certain skills are performed so much better, and without even thinking about it. The key is to get my brain to relax. I am also a chronic nail biter (have been since I was little, and have tried every method humanly possible to stop to no avail), and I would like to grow my nails at least a little bit. I can’t do fake nails because of my career, so that is not an option to help me stop biting them.

~Being engaged, and starting the journey on my new career path.
4. How do you feel about colorful jeans?
~I like them but I probably wouldn’t wear them.

~To keep going no matter what. Especially with running and exercise. And realizing that bad people in life will always be bad people and I can’t do anything to change them or get rid of them.
6. Are you craving anything at this very moment?
~Soup and a sammich.
7. What’s going to be different in 2012?
~I will finally have my bachelor’s in Psych/Bio, and I will get married. I will also be taking a lot of different types of classes and picking up different skills.

~I like both, but I think sunsets are the prettiest. Sunrises tend to wake me up a bit early.
9. Three of your favorite eye liners?
~L’Oreal eye liner similar to Urban Decay in Carbon Black, any Urban Decay 24/7 liner, and the Milani 24/7 liquid liners.
10. Weekly goals:
~Sign up for the next and last semester.
~Get out running and meet exercise goals.
~Enjoy the time off and just do some things for myself.
1. Mood: Productive! Taking down all the Christmas stuff today; this poll is my break from the pine tree needles.
2. Do you have any habits you’d like to break? Procrastination. I’m the best person ever at wanting to learn things and never getting past thinking, “Man, how great would it be to know (x).”
3. What will you remember most about 2011? My son’s first words: “Kitty,” “Mama,” and “Tank oo.”
4. How do you feel about colorful jeans? I don’t go out of my way to find them, but if I could get a pair that fit without too much searching, I’d be game.
5. One of the most important lessons you learned last year? It’s much more important to snuggle baby and kitty than have a clean house.
6. Are you craving anything at this very moment? The roasted red pepper sauce I made last night over some rotini…I can’t wait for dinner!
7. What’s going to be different in 2012? I’m going to create more goals and outline how I’ll achieve them. No more “Someday, I’ll get (x) done.”
8. Sunrise or sunset? Sunset. I don’t appreciate being awake for sunrise.

10. Weekly goals: My husband heads back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off, so my main goal is to just get back in the swing of things: Plan healthy meals for the week, get my son back on a sleeping schedule, get laundry done before Friday, vacuum up every single last pine needle.
1. Mood:
Relaxed (two days of lounging about have that effect on me… hehe)
2. Do you have any habits you’d like to break?
Eating when I’m bored. Most definitely.
3. What will you remember most about 2011?
I realized how much potential I actually have. From travelling all the way to Glasgow to audition (and do really well at that audition) to doing the course I’m doing now. There’s more potential inside me than I could imagine.
4. How do you feel about colorful jeans?
Awesome! I want a cobalt pair.

3. What will you remember most about 2011? It has been a year I’d rather forget, although I loved the way we said goodbye to it! I am sure I have more good memories of 2011, but at the moment they escape me.
4. How do you feel about colorful jeans? I like them, I love color, but they would not look good on me.
5. One of the most important lessons you learned last year? If you want a change you have to make it happen. And still be proud of every step even if you fail in the end. Shame and despair are not helpful emotions.
6. Are you craving anything at this very moment? inner peace and a clear sense of direction.
7. What’s going to be different in 2012? Me, I hope, although technically I aim at becoming more true to my self, which would mean not being different than what I am.
