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 four years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- How do you feel right now?
Optimistic. Lots to do today (secret bloggy stuff…). - A color or colors you feel you wear well?
Jewel tones. Rich purples, emerald greens and sapphire blues. 🙂 - One of your favorite TV shows from the ’80s/’90s?
My So Called Life. I dreamt of Jordan Catalano writing a song for me… - Have you ever given yourself a haircut?
I used to cut my bangs in high school (and they looked terrible, big surprise, LOL!) - Strawberry, vanilla or chocolate milkshakes?
Vanilla. Chocolate if I’m desperate, but never, ever strawberry. - What hits the spot?
Sleeping in on the weekends. A husky tabby on my lap while I’m writing. Stretchy pants after a long day at work. - A job you think you’d be pretty good at?
Veterinarian, or maybe a makeup artist. - A single strand of pearls: yes or no?
Yes, but they have to be smallish white or pink pearls. - When was the last time you wore a tiara (if you’ve ever worn a tiara)?
My 30th birthday party that my parents threw for me at a Filipino drag queen karaoke bar. - Weekly goals?
Exercise every day this week. Find a new book to read (any recommendations?). Get to bed by 9:30 every night (yeah, right!). Test a bunch of new spring makeup (whee!). Be a good cat mommy to Tabs. 🙂
