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. Who would you rather go dancing with: your significant other, your best friend or your kid (if you have one)?
Honestly, I’d love to go with Connor, LOL!
2. Spa weekend or a music festival weekend?
Spa weekend, 100%.
3. Have you had any eggnog this holiday season?
Nope, none! I don’t really crave it, but if it’s there, I’ll have a small cup.
4. Who would you rather have lunch with: your favorite musician, your favorite actor, your favorite author or your favorite teacher?
Honestly, if she was still alive, lunch with my favorite teacher from elementary would be lovely. The last time I saw her, I was 18.
5. Do you pop the zit or leave it alone?
I dunno, how ripe is it? If it’s gonna slide right outta that pore, not gonna lie, I’d pop it. LOL! But otherwise leave it alone.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

2. Spa weekend or a music festival weekend? Definitely a spa weekend. Even when I was decades younger, I didn’t like music festivals because I don’t like raucous crowds.

I’ve actually never had any.

My favorite author. I mean, that would be a bit difficult, since my favorite author is Jane Austen, but still…😄
5. Do you pop the zit or leave it alone?
Usually leave it alone, but occasionally pop it.
Enjoy your vacation! I’m alternating between sweatshirts and short sleeves every few days here in Florida. Such crazy weather.
1. Who would you rather go dancing with: your significant other, your best friend or your kid (if you have one)? — Best friend
2. Spa weekend or a music festival weekend? — Spa weekend
3. Have you had any eggnog this holiday season? — I really dislike eggnog, so no. lol
4. Who would you rather have lunch with: your favorite musician, your favorite actor, your favorite author or your favorite teacher? — I don’t think I could eat in front of my favorite actor or musician. I’m going to say author!
5. Do you pop the zit or leave it alone? — Pop that sucker!
Have fun on Oahu! Exponentially more awesome if spent with family. Merry Christmas! Say hello to the garlic shrimp for me!
1. Who would you rather go dancing with: your significant other, your best friend or your kid (if you have one)? SO, (if I had one).
2. Spa weekend or a music festival weekend? Music festival, I think. Though I could use a massage – I’ve been stressed out most of my life, and have never had a massage.
3. Have you had any eggnog this holiday season? No – and I don’t want any.
4. Who would you rather have lunch with: your favorite musician, your favorite actor, your favorite author or your favorite teacher? Favorite musician who’s still alive – Paul McCartney. If I could go back in time, I’d want to have lunch with Mark Twain, who was quite the philosopher.
5. Do you pop the zit or leave it alone? Depends on the situation. I often used a sterilized pin to pop mine, and that worked out okay, but I was very careful about
it. Most of mine were on my chin area, which is safer than messing around with nose-area pimples.
