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 seven years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- Do you stretch?
Not nearly enough. I think I’d do it more often if I were naturally flexible, but I can’t even touch my toes. - Are you currently enrolled in any classes or training for anything?
Nope, although I’d really like to take a martial arts class this summer.I’ve been saying that FOR YEARS, but I really want to make it happen this year.
- Puppies or kittens?
Yes, please. 🙂 Unfortunately, because of my employment contract with Tabs the Cat Industries LLC, I’m contractually obligated to say, “Kittens, all day, every day!” - Do you have any cat-themed makeup?
Of course! When Paul & Joe did their cat collection, I went a little crazy… - Do you think you’d make a good ninja?
I think I’d make an adequate ninja as long as I didn’t have to beat anybody up. If I were only required to slink around while wearing all-black outfits, then heck, yeah. - What’s your least used makeup brush?
I don’t remember the name, but I can describe the shape (I have one by Sonia Kashuk and one from NARS). It’s an eyeshadow brush with an angled, wedge-shaped head. I only use it when all of my other eye brushes are dirty. - Are you more cute or sultry?
Oh, gawd, definitely more cute. I’m so not sultry… My friend Jen’s the sultry one. - Have you ever worked a job where you received tips?
I have, actually. I played flute in a handful of church performances back in high school that my band teacher arranged. He was a professional musician on the side and booked me for gigs he wasn’t able to make. - Who wants to run a cat cafe!?
I do! I do!
- Have you ever won a medal or trophy for something?
Yes, but they were always, like, trophies for participating. I got some for band things and piano recitals. - BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood?
Yup, Charmie the bunny still lives with me, but most of my stuffed animals live with my parents. My mom is always threatening to get rid of them, but she never has (thank you, Mom!).
Now it’s your turn. Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em! 🙂

Hi Kim!
Wait, Garfield is still the cat’s meow? Ya don’t say. My brother used to have tons of those Garfield comic books. Remember those? I’d always steal them from him so I could read them too.
What sports are you and the boys currently playing this season? Is it still hockey?
The boys LOVE those books. I wish I had kept all mine for them, but who would have guessed? HAHA!
Believe it or not, we have this week off and then head into Spring Hockey through the end of May (and then into baseball). I’m coaching this year so it’ll be doubly busy. 🙂

I’m currently taking Pre-Calculus, working toward a degree in Computer Science. I’m so thankful that I have the opportunity to take this class, but truthfully, this is by far the worst class I’ve ever taken. I can’t wait for it to be over. Sorry for sounding so negative!

I’d say cute. Sultry just isn’t me.

Oh, yes. I still have the majority of them, actually, along with a few that I’ve acquired as an adult. I’m a big kid at heart! LOL
Hi Deanna,
I had to take a handful of math classes during college (I was a science major), and I didn’t have a ton of fun in pre-calculus and in calculus, either. I was really glad when it was over, LOL! What a relief.
How was your weekend? Did you have to study? Mine was pretty cool. I went to San Francisco on Saturday (I got a sudden craving for ramen, so we went to Japantown). On Sunday, I puttered around the house until The Walking Dead finale came on. 🙂
I think I’ll have a party when I finish this class LOL. It has been too stressful! I have to take Calculus and Calc 2 in the future, but I’ve heard that Pre-Calc is the toughest of the three.
That sounds fun! It rained here all weekend, so I got some studying done, watched Delivery Man, and did some grocery shopping. It was pretty relaxing overall. 🙂
1. Do you stretch?
Not as much as I need to!! I’ve been dying for a good stretch sesh these past few weeks. I used to be really flexible, but I’ve been getting stiffer over the last year or two… I need some yoga in my life!

Nope… I’d like to be though, for lots of things!
3. Puppies or kittens?
both. you can’t make me pick, there’s just too much cute!!

naw, but I wouldn’t mind having some 😉

Probably a lip brush that I have… the poor, neglected thing!
7. Are you more cute or sultry?
I’d like to think I’m a good combination of both 🙂
8. Have you ever worked a job where you received tips?
I guess so, if you count singing. I’ve done that for tips LOTS of times. No food service, though!
9. Who wants to run a cat cafe!?
Um… I’ll visit your cafe. Sound okay, Karen? lol!
10. Have you ever won a medal or trophy for something?
hmm, I’m sure I did when I was younger, at church functions and such… 🙂 SURPRISINGLY, none of them are coming to mind, lol!
11. BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood?
Heck. Yes. Teddy (a stuffed dog) has traveled with me through college and into my married life! I got him when my grandmother died… I think I was about 10 or 11. I have a bunch of old stuffed animals, from when I was really little, still hanging around my parents’ house (“Fluffy” and “Pooh” among them), and probably some old dolls, too – Pookie was a favorite, since she had a special bottle that you could fill with water and then MAKE HER PEE. It was quite an amazing thing for a 5-year-old to play with. …in hindsight, who the hell thought that was a good idea?? lol!!
You’re always welcome at my cat cafe, Shannon! If I host a music night will you perform? Pretty please?
1. Do you stretch? A LOT. I do 5.5 hours of ballet a week and one dedicated stretch class.

8. Have you ever worked a job where you received tips? Nope. Tips don’t really exist here.
9. Who wants to run a cat cafe!? Not me! It sounds like a lot of work! 😛
10. Have you ever won a medal or trophy for something? I have medals and ribbons and one trophy from gymnastics, a plethora of academic awards from primary school through university, etc. I still don’t know why people give them to me, though.
11. BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood? You bet i do. And I still love plush things today 🙂
Hi Sylirael,
That’s incredible that you get to dance so much! You’re very lucky. How long have you been doing ballet? I took a couple classes and was terrible at it, LOL. It did make a difference though in my dancing afterward. I definitely noticed a change for the better.
Yay! I could use this post and some old fashioned navelgazing today. 😀
1. Do you stretch?
I do! Ever since I started seriously weightlifting, stretching (and tons of soft tissue work) has been a big part of my recovery process and helps with aches and pains. I also do lots of dynamic mobility work on my workout days.
2. Are you currently enrolled in any classes or training for anything?
I take a “class” from the local community college where we get together one night a week and watch a hilarious/weird/terrible B movie and shoot the shit. Not the pinnacle of academic rigor and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
3. Puppies or kittens?
I like grown up animals, but will probably get a kitten some day because my husband has never lived with one, the poor soul!
4. Do you have any cat-themed makeup?
Nope, but my wardobe is a… Jersey of leopard print.
5. Do you think you’d make a good ninja?
I’m a 6 foot tall, curvy as shit powerlifter. I can’t look unnoticeable even in all black.
6. What’s your least used makeup brush?
I’m sure I have a couple face brushes I never use, but day to day I don’t use my fan brush very much unless I’m feeling like trying to work with a superpigmented blush.
7. Are you more cute or sultry?
I’m a long way from either, more “goofy and can bench press a small foreign pickup”.
8. Have you ever worked a job where you received tips?
I waited tables for a little bit, but I really didn’t like the politics of restaurant work. If I were going to do service again I’d stick with retail.
9. Who wants to run a cat cafe!?
OMG SO MUCH SCOOPING. But I’d love to visit!
10. Have you ever won a medal or trophy for something?
Never! I think I have a half dozen participation medals for various sporting events but am a long way from a gifted athlete. 😛
11. BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood?
I have a couple I’ve bought as an adult but none that I’ve carried along.
Hey Saffron!
Thank you for filling out the poll today. You’re really giving me inspiration to lift again! It’s been years since I’ve done it and I’d like to get back into it eventually.
So, question for ya. Do you lift to compete? Do you do any bodybuilding competitions or anything like that?
My favorite motivation to lift is that it’s the laziest way to get the fantastic visible results from working out – 1-2 hours a week can make a HUGE difference in your body composition.
I had a stroke when I was 30 but before then I did a figure competition (this was before the bikini and physique divisions were formed). I love lifting and am happy working out 4-5 days a week, but the dieting is next-level and I wouldn’t do it again; my body didn’t like being lean and I got pretty sick. Some people thrive with it, some folks suffer.
I don’t do powerlifting competitions because of the stroke – I’m pretty weak for my weight class. I have a lot of buddies who do and I have been to several, I think they are super fun and I would do them if my total wasn’t embarrassing! It helps to get a little sport-specific coaching if you want to go down this route, as the competitions have rules you need to learn and get the hang of that are hard to master if you’ve just been lifting on your own.
1. Do you stretch?
Sometimes at work when I’m feeling tired or tight.
2. Are you currently enrolled in any classes or training for anything?
Nah– I want to do the Couch 2 5K training, though!
3. Puppies or kittens?
Puppies, not even a question.
4. Do you have any cat-themed makeup?
Um, no. 😉
5. Do you think you’d make a good ninja?
For sure no. I am super clumsy and not stealth at all.
6. What’s your least used makeup brush?
Lip brush. I always use the brush that comes with my lipglosses.
7. Are you more cute or sultry?
Eh, not sure? My boyfriend probably thinks “cute,” but the general public probably disagrees!
8. Have you ever worked a job where you received tips?
Yes, I was a waitress the summers between my freshman and sophomore years of college & then again between my junior and senior years.
9. Who wants to run a cat cafe!?
Um, no. Feral cats creep me out.
10. Have you ever won a medal or trophy for something?
For dance and soccer way back in the day when no matter how much you suck (in my case, a lot), you got a trophy.
11. BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood?
I have a few boxes in my mom’s attic, but my most beloved stuff animal is actually a stuffed lamb my boyfriend gave me for Easter when I was 20!
1. Do you stretch?
Pre and post workout and on rest days I like to do some light stretching. Good for the soul!
2. Are you currently enrolled in any classes or training for anything?
Not yet, looking at night programs for social work now!

Depends on the puppy or kitten!
4. Do you have any cat-themed makeup?

5. Do you think you’d make a good ninja?

I think I’m more cute, el hubby says sultry.

Waited tables and worked at Dunkin Donuts!

11. BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood?
Yes I have my Woofy dog and my porcelain doll collection!
1. Do you stretch? Yup! Before I get out of bed every morning, and then it’s part of my workout. I’ve been working a lot on my posture this year and can’t go without stretching and foam rolling.
2. Are you currently enrolled in any classes or training for anything? No, but when my boyfriend’s job settles down I’d love to take a cooking class with him (he went to culinary school so I need to up my game!).
3. Puppies or kittens? Puppehs! 🙂
4. Do you have any cat-themed makeup? I think I have a palette somewhere that talks about kitties…
5. Do you think you’d make a good ninja? Not at all. Way too noisy when I walk. 😉
6. What’s your least used makeup brush? I think the same as yours, an angled brush for the crease from Mac. I actually used it this weekend and couldn’t remember the last time I had!

8. Have you ever worked a job where you received tips? Nope, pretty much all office jobs.
9. Who wants to run a cat cafe!? Where we bring our kitties for a party? Sure! As long as you don’t mean it in the same sense as “donut shop” where we’re talking about the main dish…yikes!
10. Have you ever won a medal or trophy for something? I did, I competed in Academic Decathlon in high school and got a few, and then I did the local pageant my senior year (for the scholarship money!) and won the “Inner Beauty” award for the best interview score. Got me an extra $500 for school!

Least used…? Oh, probably My Hakuhodo J5523. It’s basically a MAC 217, only cheaper and with better quality, softer on the eyes, but I just don’t use it! It’s too big, and I just can’t seem to get the results I want with it. I’ve discovered I just like smaller eyeshadow brushes in general.

I won a bunch of trophies for piano when I was young. I think the one I was most proud of is my one and only ribbon in sport. Swimming was the ONLY sport where I wasn’t dead last, so coming second in a race was a really huge deal for me.
11. BONUS: Do you have any stuffed animals or dolls from your childhood?
Ah, yes! I actually do. Not many, but the ones I have I’ve had since I was very young.
