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. Which is the hardest to do: engage in small talk with strangers, ask for directions, paint your toe nails or cook a meal without a recipe?

For the life of me, I can’t make most meals without having a recipe to follow. I’m not one of those people who can cook from the heart and throw ingredients together with abandon. I need precise measurements (because one person’s pinch of salt might mean something completely different to someone else) and guidelines, otherwise I’ll short circuit.

2. Do you wanna go dancing at the pink pony club?

Sure, why not? I’m gonna keep on daaaaaan-cing…

3. What language would you like to be fluent in: French, Cantonese, Arabic or sign language?

All of them. LOL! I think sign language would be quite useful.

4. Where would you rather go on vacation: Thailand, Italy or Hawaii?

Let’s go to Italy, babe! Positano, specifically.

5. What do you need more of in your life: perfume, nail polish or hair products?

I’ll take the perfumes, please.

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. What eye makeup products have been on repeat with you lately?

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara (eh, it’s just OK), Stila Liquid Liner Micro Tip (it’s pretty good) and good ol’ Anastasia Brow Pencil.

2. How good are you about finding clothes that fit you well?

I used to be OK at it, but now, I don’t really enjoy in-person shopping as much as I used to, so I don’t spend the time that one really needs to find the things that fit great. There’s always something a little off with my clothes and I just kinda live with it. Blergh! On the bright side, at least my outfit is always ironed and somewhat matching.

3. How good are you about resisting impulse purchases?

Pretty good!

4. Where do you usually have lunch?

At my house. I work close by, so I can easily pop in for a quick bite. Honestly, I just like going home so I can take off my shoes. FOOT FREEDOM!

5. Pick one: with shimmer or without?

Generally I tend to stay away from it. Super boring, I know… I need more disco in my life!

Tabs was a natural born optimist. He always saw the up side to everything, sought out the silver linings and took advantage of every opportunity to spread hope and joy.

That might be why he liked holidays so much — because they were an opportunity to play Santa “Claws,” so to speak, and spread good tidings to everyone.

Perhaps for the obvious reasons, St. Patrick’s Day was a fave. Obviously, with those gorgeous green eyes, he loved the color scheme. ☘️

And then, of course, the gold… He was also a big fan of that. 😊

Rosie has her own reasons for celebrating St. Paddy’s Day. For starter’s, alchemy…

In fact, she did her PhD dissertation in turning lead into gold through targeted meows in the ultra-low frequency range, the so-called “smoker’s meow” spectrum.

Marnie, however, did not get the memo regarding St. Patrick’s Day this year.

Or rather, she did get the memo, but she didn’t read it.

Or, well, she read it… She just didn’t understand it at all. 😹

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. Which would you rather have in your makeup collection: a nail polish that never chipped, a foundation that perfectly matched your skin tone, a long-lasting mascara that was easy to remove or a lipstick that never dried out your lips?

Nail polish that never chipped! In a heartbeat.

2. How good are you at doing other people’s hair?

Not great. Actually, terrible. I realized I really need to work at it when I tried to do Connor’s hair in a french braid for a dance competition, and it looked so wonky it was laughable.

3. What do you do when you’re sitting on a flight next to a stranger: chat them up or put in your headphones and pretend they’re not there?

I’ll do a little polite chat, mostly because I know I’ll have to get up a few times to go to the bathroom, and if I have to climb over them, it’s a little less awkward.

4. What drink do you typically have with a meal?

Usually bubbly water or plain water. Sometimes I’ll have an iced tea with lunch, or a very watered down juice (like, 50% of it is water).

5. Pick one: walking or biking?

Walking! I’m less likely to crash into someone or something. Hahaha!

1. Which would you rather collect: vintage clothes or vintage furniture?

I could do both, but if I could only pick one, I’d have to go with vintage clothes, mostly because I don’t have a big enough house to collect furniture pieces. Sigh! Oh, and also, I don’t want to worry about my furniture being beat up by the pets and the kids playing in my house, you know?

2. How good are you with keeping secrets?

If you tell me something in confidence, it’s going to the grave with me, babe; however, I do have an exception policy. If I believe someone’s in danger, then I’m gonna say something.

3. Who’s the coolest Jennifer: Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner or Jennifer Coolidge?

Jennifer Coolidge, all the way.

4. What’s the nicest thing you’ve done for yourself lately?

For the last month, I’ve made it a priority to work out. It’s made such a difference in my sleep, mood and overall energy.

5. Pick one: spaghetti or lasagna?

If someone else makes it for me, then lasagna. I enjoy leftover lasagna much more than spaghetti. 🙂
