So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s more of a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine. ?
1. How good are you at delegating?
Bah, I’m terrible. Delegating? What’s that…? To be honest, my life would probably be easier if I were better at delegating, although…I don’t really have anybody to delegate to, other than Tabs, and he’s too busy delegating tasks to me, haha.
I’ve always just thought that I had to do everything myself, even when I was totally overwhelmed. Maybe it’s a control thing? I dunno… Like, if I do it, at least I know it’s going to be done the way I want it to be done. Of course, herein lies the problem. When I’m overwhelmed, things don’t get done. It’s a conundrum.
But I really would like to get better at it, or at least better at asking for help when I need it.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Oh, snap, mama! Don’t ask me why I thought of this question now, because I have no idea, but I don’t think I’ve ever worn a tutu. Clearly, this is a travesty of epic proportions!
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Hmm… It’s been a while. I think it was before I got pregnant with Connor Claire. I seem to remember going on a ride around the neighborhood with El Hub after he got a new helmet. It must have been 2015.
Unless a stationary bike counts. Then it was a month ago.
4. Style or comfort?
Le sigh… I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I have to go with comfort.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
This one here…
The doll was a gift from Connor’s grandparents, and it came riding in a teeny, tiny stroller. The first thing Connor did was replace the doll with a cat (I swear, it wasn’t my idea!).
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Yes, definitely my left, because the crease is slightly deeper on that eye, and it makes everything easier.
My left brow is also longer and more in proportion to my left eye, so I don’t have to do as much work to it as I do on the other side.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Most of the time without, and if I do a wing it’s usually a kitten flick, instead of an adult cat wing.
Have a sweet Monday, my sweet friend ?
I’m getting over a cold meow, and I’m just really hoping the baby doesn’t get it. Fingers and toes crossed.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Here are the questions to copy/paste.
1. How good are you at delegating?
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
3. Last time you rode a bike?
4. Style or comfort?
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
1. How good are you at delegating?
Not too bad, when I get the chance to do it. One thing that I *want* to delegate is paying someone else to clean my apartment. It just sounds magical, especially with how busy I am.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Oh man! Throwback. Probably… like 10 or so?
3. Last time you rode a bike?]
Last year, I think. Maybe longer. I have a bike up at my in-laws’ place, and I was gonna go on a little ride when we visited them in April, but it was kinda wedged behind some things. I’ll have to dig it out next time we’re out there.
4. Style or comfort?
How about a blend of both? 🙂 ngl, I lean more towards comfort!
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
A pic of my hair! I’m trying out co-washing and “plopping” my hair, and have been sending status updates to my friend. So far, not too bad.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Hmm. Yes and no. I feel like making them match is the real hard part, rather than one being easier than the other.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
With, please!! I usually have a little one, but I like big ones, too – when I have time to get them even, lol.
We hired someone to clean the house once per month (a few months back). Best splurge ever and I highly recommend! Once you find the right person (and you trust them) it’s great!
My sister has done that, too! I’m so tempted. My hubs and I only live in a studio apartment (as opposed to my sister’s 4-bed house), so it seems like I should be able to handle it… but I just never have time to do much more than a cursory cleaning. Having someone REALLY clean the bathroom once a month would be heaven. I think I need to look into it!
Shannon,
Even for a small space it’s so worth it. I have glass shower doors and I’m enjoying them finally being perfectly clean! 🙂
1. How good are you at delegating?
Not great! I can be a bit of a controller, but I’m better than I used to be.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
A fairy costume maybe 8 or 9 years ago? I’ve been trying to find a rainbow one for another costume, but I only find child-size ones!
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Years ago. I have a heart condition, it can be a bit too much cardio for me.
4. Style or comfort?
A bit of both!
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
Zack hugging Hettie!
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Right! Easier to do when right-handed for me.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Today it’s a wing. Usually it is, sometimes it isn’t.
Hi Karen! Morning from Vancouver 🙂 I LOL-ed at the picture of Connor Claire with the cat in her stroller.
1. How good are you at delegating? I have the same issue as you do when it comes to this.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? Um…never? My mom tried getting me in a tutu at 5 or 6 and I remember hating it.
3. Last time you rode a bike? Um…probably 5 years ago. hah!
4. Style or comfort? Comfort!!!
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? A picture of some notes I scribbled down re: my book so I wouldn’t forget when I sit down to write.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? I don’t really do eye makeup…
7. Liner: with or without a wing? With a wing. or smudged. 🙂
1. How good are you at delegating?
I’m getting better at it, but I wouldn’t say I’m good. I don’t like asking for help, and I want control. My husband’s the only person I trust delegating to, anyway.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Way back in elementary school. It was black instead of pink, and it was fabulous.
3. Last time you rode a bike? Earlier today. It was my first time in a long time. I was scared I’d hurt myself or someone else, but I was fine and it was pretty fun. ?
4. Style or comfort? I like to think I’m stylish while being comfortable, but if I have to choose, I’ll go with comfort.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? The menu of the restaurant where I had lunch. I wanted to translate the Chinese to pinyin so I could read it.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? Yes, the left. Maybe it’s because I’m a lefty.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? No wing. I still can’t get winged liner to look right on my hooded eyes. I’ve watched countless tutorials and practiced so many times. I just run out of patience.
1) I think I’m decent at delegating. I have this ability to pull myself together enough to parcel out orders if the situation calls for it. I’m still not a natural leader.
2) I have never worn a tutu. Egads. ?
3) I think I was maybe 7. I never really learned how to ride a bike, but at 7 I could meander down a street on a bike without injuring myself.
4) Comfort. My makeup will compensate for lack of style.
5) The last pic is of Zoe the dog.
6) Yes! The right one. The left eye has a noticeable hollow under it, and too many skinfolds on the lid.
7) Without a wing. For the reasons mentioned above it’s difficult to do a wing on my eyes (although not impossible).
Happy Monday! I love the Connor pics. Of course she replaced the baby with a cat. 🙂
1. How good are you at delegating? Very good, especially at home. Being pleased with the results is a different matter. And at work, I’m the queen of “I should have just done it myself” (internal monologue, of course).
2. Last time you wore a tutu? Must be in grade school. And very young grade school!
3. Last time you rode a bike? We biked around Kilauea over April break a few weeks ago.
4. Style or comfort? Definitely comfort!
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? Some product packaging for work.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? My left for sure. I’m right handed and the angle is much easier.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? Without.
1. How good are you at delegating? Not bad
2. Last time you wore a tutu? I was six and I was a ballerina.
3. Last time you rode a bike? It’s been years. I try to stay off bikes because I really don’t enjoy it. I’m not terribly coordinated. It took me forever to learn how when I was a kid. I’d much rather hike or swim.
4. Style or comfort? Comfort
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? Hah, I thought it was clusters of violets that have popped up in my woods but it was actually at my coffee stop this morning. They have a really funny sign they put occasionally on the counter about seven reasons you need coffee. I think my favorite is “Jail is a real place.”
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? they’re both small and squinty and moist so not really. Both equally difficult I would say.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? without
p.s. Love that little gurlfriend put a cat in the stroller. Too funny!
1. How good are you at delegating? Pretty good!
2. Last time you wore a tutu? ballet class as a small child.
3. Last time you rode a bike? Last summer. Rented bikes on Cape Cod.
4. Style or comfort? Comfort. Wearing my Liverpool pull-on jeans today and it’s my little comfy secret since they look like regular jeans once you put on your shirt.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? Tulips that I planted yesterday. They were given out at a Celebration of Life that I went to this weekend (a friend had passed away far too young).
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? Right eye is easier.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? Without for me but I love the wing on other people.
1. How good are you at delegating? Not great. Most of the time it’s just easier if I do things on my own. Because then I know it gets done on my time table, and it gets done correctly.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? Sadly, never. I keep thinking I need to remedy this.
3. Last time you rode a bike? Hmmmm, about a year. But I really want a bike, it’s fun to ride.
4. Style or comfort? Comfort, always.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? I took a screen shot of the Teacher Request Form from my younger daughter’s school to post on Facebook to let my friends know that today was Teacher Request Day. I swear this is a thing.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? Yes, the left eye. I’m very blind, and I don’t often wear contacts because I feel like my glasses are a big part of my personality. It’s physically easier to do my left eye, because I have to get so close to the mirror.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? Without. I have tried and tried and I am just not good at winged liner. I love the look, but it’s a lot of look for me, I prefer a more natural eye with a bold lip.
Oh no! Fingers and toes crossed! Are you one who wears a mask when having a cold (just curious). I think my mom does it sometimes when she doesn’t want to be contagious.
1. How good are you at delegating?
I’m on constant learning but I think I’m getting there… if only I have more resource to put more people on my payroll.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
I always wanted to wear one as a kid but never did. So the answer is never :(.
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Ugh, probably two years ago. And that’s when I’m just learning how to bike. I’d probably forget everything now :-D.
4. Style or comfort?
Style. Except for high heels on a daily.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
Hubs and I sitting in a cafe :).
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Not really.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Depending on the mood, lately it’s without.
1. How good are you at delegating?
Absolutely terrible… I’m a control freak, everything that is not under my direct control feels like it’s going to turn to hell. I’m trying to get better by letting go, but girl it’s hard.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
I don’t think I ever did!
3. Last time you rode a bike?
A long time ago, I can’t even remember! I haven’t owned a bike for at least 15 years. If stationary bikes count then a couple weeks!
4. Style or comfort?
I think that style without comfort is the opposite of elegance: you can’t look like you’re effortlessly gorgeous if your thong is giving you a perpetual wedgie or your stilettos are silently murdering your toes. So style AND comfort, not one without the other.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
A row of palm trees along the beach.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
My right eye is always easier, probably because I’m right handed? My eyes are also not symmetrical and I find the crease shape on the right side easier to work with.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Not a full wing, but a little tiny flick to make the eye longer. If I don’t do a flick at all I feel like my eyes look even rounder than they already are.
Hope you have a great week Karen!
1. How good are you at delegating?
Not very good. I wish I could delegate more at work, but sometimes it can be too complex and it’s easier to do on my own rather than trying to explain it so someone else.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
I think it was when I was 5 or 6 in ballet class.
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Hm, I don’t even remember. Probably sometime during high school.
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort all the way. But I do try to be stylish and comfortable at the same time.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
Surprise, a pic of one of the cats! 🙂 Nina was curled up in her cat perch looking cute.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Luckily they are both pretty easy.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Without. I haven’t taken the time to practice winged liner looks.
Happy Monday! Hope everyone in the family stays healthy.
Thanks, Ruchita. Right now I’m starting to feel better and so far the baby seems to have dodged the cold (knock on wood).
Say hi to the kitties for me. Tabs also sends his regards! (He’s been super jealous of the baby lately.)
Aww, sending Tabs some love! Too bad we can’t arrange a kitty play date. 🙂 Unfortunately Mingus is recovering from surgery for an infected abcess. He’s wearing the awful cone, but goes to the vet on Saturday to get the stiches out. Counting down the days!
1. How good are you at delegating?
Horrible; I say “Never mind, I’ll just do it myself” at least once daily.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
My last ballet recital, so 33 years ago, lol.
3. Last time you rode a bike?
About the same time I last wore a tutu.
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort!!!! Although preferably both.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
Our dog looking depressed because Dad left her at home while he went to a doctor’s appointment. She thinks he’s not supposed to leave the house without her.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
My right eye, because I have to cross over my face to do the left one. I am hopeless with my left hand.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
I’ve never been able to successfully do a wing.
Hey Suzanne,
You can TOTALLY do a wing. It might involve some extra doo-dads (like tape to map out your angles) but I totally believe you can do it!
1. How good are you at delegating? Let’s just say my nickname around this household is “The Supervisor”. If I really care how something is done I give very, very, very, specific instructions.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? Never. And I even had ballet lessons and point shoes. Just none of my recital costumes had that kind of skirt.
3. Last time you rode a bike? Statinonary, in the gym in March. On the road, probably 10 years ago. Had a collision with a car that edged out at red light and that was it for me.
4. Style or comfort? These days, comfort.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? Uh, the abstract looking, wood grain pattern on the table at Magnolia Brewing Co. I took 17 photos yesterday, which is about average for me on daily basis.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? Yup. Used to be the left, but now it’s the right. The left eyelid is more hooded and droopy, so it’s just easier to get things looking nice on the right. I also have longer lashes on the right eye and a better arch on the right brow.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? Without. See above. Hooded, droopy eyelids which actually fold down on the outside corner of my eyes. No place to put a wing unless I want it pointing down.
I hope your cold goes away quickly and Connor doesn’t get it. It’s hard to mommy well when your sick; it’s even harder when your little one is under the weather and you can’t make them feel better.
Hi Tatiana,
I’ve been worried about the baby all day. She so far hasn’t show signs of picking up the cold (knock on wood). Me, I’m feeling a little better, as the hardest part seems to have passed.
Were you in the city yesterday? How was the weather?
Yeah, in SF yesterday. Nice weather. Warm, not hot. Went to Asian Art Museum and then to dogpatch neighborhood for dinner.
Best advice I can give you is wash your hands religiously. You sneeze, wash your hands. You cough into your hands, wash them. Scratch your nose? Wash your hands. If Connor is going to get this her symptoms will probably start about 7 to 10 days after yours first appeared, that’s the average incubation period for a cold virus. Keeping my fingers crossed you both feel fine now that summer is arriving in the Bay Area.
Was it hot up your way today? It got close to 90 degrees down this way. The salvia we planted on Saturday was all droopy today. I hope it perks up tomorrow.
Oh, it’s tough to get a cold with a baby girl … maybe try to get her to not cuddle with you a lot, but easier said than done …
1. How good are you at delegating?
Very good I’d say.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Haven’t ever.
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Seven years ago.
4. Style or comfort?
Both, they aren’t incompatible.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
Flowers ? in our vase.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
My right eye somehow ?
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
With, even a small one.
Thankfully I’m feeling better and she’s (knock on wood) avoided the cold so far. Keeping my fingers crossed!
1. How good are you at delegating?
Oy, depends. I’m picky on how I like things done.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Maybe 15 years?
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Uh, 20 years?
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort!
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
It was of evergreen trees lit by the setting sun on a blue grey sky background. You can see it my Instagram feed.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
My left seems a little easier, it’s got a longer brow.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
I prefer a hint of a wing, just a hint 😛
1. How good are you at delegating? Depends. If I really hate doing whatever is i need to delegate.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? never did. my mom wanted me in ballet but they said i didnt have the frame
3. Last time you rode a bike? 6 years ago . showing my nephew
4. Style or comfort? comfort everyday. style if i going somewhere fancy
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? a pic of a product for 0.8lusa website.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?right
7. Liner: with or without a wing? without. its so hard. i even bought a stencil and its still hard.
Hi Ericca,
The wing can be SO hard. Have you ever tried mapping your angles out with tape? I use body tape (the kind used for bandages) and it works out great.
i found a stencil, which is like mapping but . its just me or maybe i need to customize. thanks for the suggestion.
You’re welcome. It took me a long time to get comfortable with winged liner. I still can’t just draw it on in one motion! I gotta do it in parts. If you want tips let me know. Happy to help!
tip away. please no need to ask.
So, it’s been a while since I did this poll, but new month, new resolutions:
1. How good are you at delegating?
It depends on the task…
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
I have NEVER in my life worn a tutu, and I won’t ever!!!
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Years ago, can’t remember.
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort with style, but more comfort.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
I did lots of screenshots of instagram feeds, the last “real” one was lunch on Wednesday (potatoes, salad and eggs). Oh, I forgot. I already deleted some pics from the city tour I did on Friday evening. It is great to explore the city I live, even though I’m living here for nearly 20 years.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
No.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Usually no liner and definitely no wing!!!
Happy week every one!
Hi Daniela,
Nice to see you again and glad you were able to do the poll!
Good idea to visit your city as a tourist. I used to live in SF, and in all that time, never went to the windy part of Lombard street. I finally did it last year and it was fun. The next thing I’m going to do is visit Alcatraz.
Oh, and speaking of Instagram, did you know you can bookmark individual posts from feeds?
1. How good are you at delegating? Very good for stuff I know I suck at.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? When I was taking ballet class at 6 years old.
3. Last time you rode a bike? I was like 5 maybe. I tried again in my early twenties but turns out you DO forget how to ride a bike.
4. Style or comfort? Comfort with style.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? It was of a piece of paper with phone numbers on it.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? My right eye has an easier shape to put makeup on.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? No wing? Is that even allowed?
LOL, Laura! Yup, sometimes there’s no wing, believe it or not! 🙂 I like to cheat on mine by using tape to map out the angles.
1. How good are you at delegating?
Not as good as I need to be, I’m trying to co-ordinate a large horse related event right now and guhhh it’s rough.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
I really wanted one a couple years ago (so my late 20s) but didn’t find one perfect. I guess that means when i was Ballet Miss Piggy for Halloween and dressed my dog up as Fozzy Bear (my mom wouldn’t let me paint him like Kermit).
3. Last time you rode a bike?
For real? Probably high school, but I’ve used one of those pedaled four person bike things on vacation in the last year or two, and used a stationary bike on Friday.
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort, I do try to be at least semi stylish, but I don’t know when the last time I wore heels with jeans was, it’s been a while, that used to be my thing.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
My dog and cat sleeping next to each other on the bed.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Yes by far my left.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Usually with a wing.
Good luck with your horse event! I hope everything falls into place eventually. Coordinating a large-scale event is hard… You’ll get there!
Afternoon Karen, our boys have been loving the tiny stroller lately too. They prefer keeping it empty most of the time though. ?
1. How good are you at delegating?
Not good but trying to force myself do at least a little since I’m getting majorly stressed over the prospect of moving two small children and cats across the country in a month.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Probably 11 years old or so in the last ballet performance I was in before moving to a different state/studio that went simpler on costumes.
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Sometime before my first pregnancy, 2012 maybe?!
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort, for sure. In theory comfort that at least has a tiny modicum of style.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
My 3.5 year old wearing a shirt that I bought for him 6+ months ago that he’s steadfastly refused to wear. It’s a minor miracle. He picked it out, no less.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
My left eye’s crease doesn’t extend nearly as much past the corner of my eye like the right does, so it definitely makes a wing sort of possible where it feels like a minor engineering feat on the right side.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
Almost always without for the reason above. ?
Hi Nicole,
What are some of the toys your kids enjoy the most? I’m making a list of toys for Connor and would love your input!
My boys are grown now, but I remember a toy kitchen, food, and dishes, etc. being a huge love for them when they were toddlers.
Balls (some people opt for a no throwing rule inside which I totally understand so they’re not for everyone), cars and trucks, the Ikea play kitchen, riding toy like the Little Tikes giraffe. I think it can be a little tough picking toys at 1 since they have less defined preferences.
1. How good are you at delegating?
Rather good actually, but I’m better at it when I actually put my mind to it. Sometimes I can be rather scatterbrained, especially when I have brain fog.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
I was 6! But, I do wear petticoats which are kind of like giant tutus?
3. Last time you rode a bike?
It’s been a whiiiiiiile. Like, 2 years?
4. Style or comfort?
Comfort…with a side of style.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
Zena under her safety blanky with her Tundershirt attached to my momma’s hip. It’s on Facebook!
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Yes, my left!
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
With, although I can never get one wing the exact same angle as the other and that can drive me a little nuts sometimes.
1. How good are you at delegating?
No bueno. I don’t like feeling bossy, and I’m obsessive enough to feel like I could do it better and quicker than it would be done by delegation.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Never. I’m alright with that, in all honesty!
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Last fall. My mom bought me the CUTEST vintage inspired bike and basket to ride with my children. I love it and need to make it a habit.
4. Style or comfort?
In a perfect world, I would have both. I don’t bother buying clothes that can’t do both. However, if I’m at home…its a no bra, no pants situation. I suppose that means my final decision is comfort.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
A picture of my husband acting goofy to send to my mom.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Not by much, but I guess my right one is. My eyelashes cooperate on that side better for some reason.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
I don’t wear liner often period. If I do, it’s usually a tightline. I like a little wing every now and then.
1. How good are you at delegating? Absolutely! As a teacher for pre-school children, I need to be able to delegate tasks so everything gets done.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? I have no memories of wearing a tutu. I didn’t take ballet so there was never an opportunity.
3. Last time you rode a bike? Oh my goodness! The year was 2004 and that was the last time I rode a bike.
4. Style or comfort? Both if it is possible.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? Recently but I don’t remember.
Usually my husband takes pictures with his phone.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? Probably the left one, I think.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? Without but I would like to try to do a wing.
1. How good are you at delegating?
Not really good, I’m more of the type: I want it perfect so I’ll do it.
2. Last time you wore a tutu?
Sadly, never.
3. Last time you rode a bike?
Two weeks ago when I went to the drugstore on my mom’s bike which is too little for me.
4. Style or comfort?
I love to be stylish but I prefer comfort before over style.
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone?
A photo of a sunscreen.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on?
Yes, the left one, somehow it’s harder to do the crease on the right one.
7. Liner: with or without a wing?
More smudgy and without wing.
Yesterday I made banana bread I followed Rachel R. husband’s recipe but I added 1/3 cup of cocoa so the result was amazing, you need to try it.
I’m glad you liked it. I’ll have to try it with cocoa in it. Great idea!
Actually the flavor gets more nuanced because it doesn’t taste like banana but also it doesn’t taste completely like chocolate. You get a softer flavor and I prefer it.
Sounds delish, and more complex than the original. Next time we make some, I’ll definitely do a loaf with cocoa in it.
I hope you feel better soon, and that Connor doesn’t catch your cold. I love that she put a kitty in her stroller. 🙂 🙂 🙂
1. How good are you at delegating? I suck at it.
2. Last time you wore a tutu? Never, though I would have loved a pink tutu when I was a little girl. I recently bought a uber-cute black tulle Melissa McCarthy skirt that kind of has that feel, though.

3. Last time you rode a bike? Ummm…late high school or early college, probably.
4. Style or comfort? Style, unless it’s shoes. I could never get behind ruining my feet for the sake of narrow, high heels, no matter how cute they were. I love nice flats, though. Since my car accident three years ago, I’m in New Balance tennies most of the time for my back. I guess that officially makes me middle aged. 😛
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? I selfie to show my makeup to some friends. It was several weeks ago.
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? My left eye, because I’m right-handed. I think it’s shaped a bit nicer than my right eye, too, and the lid doesn’t droop as far. My eyes aren’t very symmetrical. It’s a trait all the women in on my mom’s side of the family have.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? With, and the bigger the better. Double points if it’s in an outrageous color.
1. How good are you at delegating? Terrible. Unless it’s cleaning and then I’m happy to let my husband take the lead on that one. 😉
2. Last time you wore a tutu? Never? I did soccer instead of dance for fitness as a kid.
3. Last time you rode a bike? At the gym, beyond that it’s been ages!
4. Style or comfort? Comfort all the way. 🙂
5. What’s the last pic you took with your phone? A basket of fruit in our office, in response to my husband’s joke of a text saying “send foods”. 😉
6. Is one of your eyes easier for you to do makeup on? Yes actually my left, because my right has a little divot in the lash line that makes liner tougher.
7. Liner: with or without a wing? Baby wing. I think full out just looks too much on me.
