So…what is the Monday Poll?
Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin?
Carve it!
2. Candy corn or candy apple?
Hmm, not sure. I guess the candy apple. At least I’d get fiber!
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots?
Comfy boots!
4. Fall movie or fall football?
I’ll go with the movie. Something sweet and fun and not too scary.
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house?
I’ll take the pumpkin patch, ideally on a cool day when it’s not too hot.

1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin?
Painting would be easier for my girls to do! But I like carving them too, and roasting the seeds when I have time.
2. Candy corn or candy apple?
Candy apple, preferably a caramel apple!
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots?
Boots! Even with how cold it gets here I almost get too hot in sweaters.
4. Fall movie or fall football?
Fall movie. I am so not into football!
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house?
Pumpkin patch! We did it last year with the girls and they had so much fun!
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin? Carve it!
2. Candy corn or candy apple? Candy Corn – I love apples, just not candied ones.
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots? Boots! Sweaters just usually make me itch.
4. Fall movie or fall football? Movie.
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house? Pumpkin Patch.
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin? I’m old school so I’d definitely prefer to carve. Have you seen some of those crazy carved pumpkins that are on competition series? It’s an art form.
2. Candy corn or candy apple? I like a candy apple with a cinnamon hard candy coating. That first bite, when you crunch through the thin shell of cinnamon goodness and taste the sweet juice of the apple, is a burst of deliciousness.
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots? Cozy sweater, but only cashmere because I prefer something that is as light as a feather while still being warm and comfy. I have good boots, but I only wear them when I have to go and the weather is cold or wet.
4. Fall movie or fall football? Fall movie.
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house? I love both!
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin? Carve. It’s not that hard if you thin out the walls of the pumpkin (that is labor intensive), then tape a pattern on it to carve by. Those tool/pattern packs they sell for that tell you to thin out the walls first.
2. Candy corn or candy apple? Candy corn. When I was a kid, it seemed that everyone loved candy corn. In recent years, it seems to have become trendy to say you hate it. Don’t know why.
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots? Depends on the weather. I rarely need a heavy sweater in my area – if it’s that cold, I’ll usually wear a jacket. I’ve only recently been able to buy comfy boots that actually fit, but it would have to be even colder to wear that. I’d probably get more wear out of the sweater.
4. Fall movie or fall football? Fall movie. Don’t really care about football and I’m disgusted that YouTube TV went up $14.00 a month primarily so THEY could get a contract on NFL football. They keep pushing it relentlessly as an ADD-ON. If there was anyone else who offered unlimited recording, no equipment rental, and TCM for the same price or less, I’d quit YouTube TV.
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house? Pumpkin patch. My life has had enough scary stuff in it for a dozen lifetimes. I don’t like to be scared.
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin?
Paint it. I don’t trust my knife skills.
2. Candy corn or candy apple?
Candy apple. You can find ones coated in dark chocolate — they’re pretty good!
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots?
Cozy sweater and slipper socks.
4. Fall movie or fall football?
Fall movie definitely.
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house?
Pumpkin patch. I’m too jumpy for the haunted house.
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin? Paint…The pumpkins last longer and I’m horrible at carving a pumpkin. I do enjoy looking at carved pumpkins that other people create.
2. Candy corn or candy apple? Candy apple…but I do like candy corn with peanuts (tastes like a Payday candy bar)
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots? Both…worn together. I love fall clothes.
4. Fall movie or fall football? Movie.
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house? Both….Halloween is my favorite holiday😁
1. Paint a pumpkin or carve a pumpkin? Paint. 🙂 My carving skills leave much to be desired.
2. Candy corn or candy apple? Candy corn, unless it’s a caramel apple.
3. Cozy sweater or comfy boots? Cozy sweaters! I’m fine with flip flops to balance out the cozy. lol
4. Fall movie or fall football? Fall movie all the way!
5. Visit a pumpkin patch or a haunted house? Pumpkin patch. I don’t like to be scared or surprised.
