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. How good are you at crafts?
I do okay if there are very detailed instructions. As long as I can follow a standard operating procedure (SOP), everything’s gonna be alright!
2. Do you speak any other languages besides English?
I understand the commonly spoken Filipino language, Tagalog, but to a limited capacity. I can follow conversational Tagalog, but if it’s academic or the news, I can’t keep up with the vocabulary.
I can also speak simple sentences in French. Nothing truly useful, just things like, “I’d like a croissant, please,” and “Hurry up, we’re going to miss the bus.”
3. Have you started thinking about Thanksgiving yet?
A little bit. It looks like we’re sticking to a small celebration this year — me, Connor and El Hub — so I don’t have to do any big meal planning. We’re going to do a crab feast instead of turkey, with a few sides and a pie or two. Maybe we’ll go to a movie afterwards.
4. How would your partner do if you sent them to Ulta with a list?
I think he would be OK if I put the exact name of the product on the list and included screenshots and links. LOL! I would also have to specify the exact size of the item; otherwise, I’d end up with sample sizes of everything.
5. Charlotte Tilbury or Dior?
Dior.
6. Your 20s or 30s?
30s! I was traveling a lot for MBB and working really hard. Good times.
7. Lipgloss or lipstick?
Gloss.
8. Baby age or toddler age?
I loved both so much so it’s hard for me to choose. I do miss the cuddly baby years a lot.
9. Summer or fall?
Fall.
10. Tell ’em off or walk away?
Sigh. Tell ’em off because I can’t help myself. Then hopefully I’ll walk away.
11. Something you’re grateful for today?
The sprinkling of rain we got over the weekend. The ginger slices at Trader Joe’s (so sweet and spicy). The second season of “The Gilded Age” (I love getting lost in a story that’s not too scary). My chosen tribe. Sunshine early in the morning. Honeycrisp apples, especially when they’re sliced, cold and crunchy.
Happy Monday to you, sweet pea
In case you need it, here’s a big hug and a reminder that you’re doing OK. You’ll probably run into some challenges this week, but I know you’ll be able to handle them with patience and grace.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
