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 five years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- What’s your favorite time of day?
Early in the morning, just as the sun is rising when the world still feels like it’s waking up, and all I can hear outside are a few birds singing (the earliest risers). - What color are your eyes?
Chocolate brown with a navy blue ring around the iris. - If you could read minds, would you want to?
Oh, hell no! I don’t want to know what pervy guys are thinking about women’s butts, or have access everyone’s worries.It would come in handy at the poker tables though… Too bad I don’t know how to play cards!
- What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase?
I need a refill of Bobbi Brown’s Foundation stick. - If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be?
Either a cute little finch or a hummingbird (would love to be able to fly). - Your sweet snack of choice at the movies?
Sour Patch Kids AND Peanut M&Ms! Yes, please, I’ll take both. 😀 And, um, throw in some kettle corn while you’re at it… - Something you have to remember to do today?
Text my brother at noon to wish him good luck on his job interview today. - Do you ever go to sleep with wet hair?
Yup. I know some folks don’t like to, but I think it saves time, and when I wake up in the morning, I get a fun surprise! — either a head of cute, sexy bedhead curls, or a total hair disaster. - Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces?
Necklaces. I have a hard time finding bracelets that don’t just slip off my small wrists. Plus, bracelets always get in the way while I’m typing. - A helpful lesson you recently learned?
I’ve learned that I do better when I don’t check my email first thing in the day. Better to do my heaviest mental lifting first thing and then work on admin tasks later.

Depends on the season. Right now, I love late nights in Southern California.
2. What color are your eyes?
Brown

Bracelets. I rarely wear necklaces, they make me feel restricted.

Karen says
Hi Vanessa,
Thank you for filling out the poll today!
I’m totally with you on late nights in SoCal. Here in the North Bay, it’s always touch and go when it comes to warm evenings. I would love to be able to walk around at night in shorts and a t-shirt! I miss that.
Do you plan on getting anything else at the MAC counter besides the Warm Soul blush?
Ruchita says
1. What’s your favorite time of day?
Early morning. I love to sleep in, but at the same time I’m most productive in the morning hours. After 8 or 9 at night, I lose motiviation to do anything other than sit on the couch.
2. What color are your eyes?
Brown.
3. If you could read minds, would you want to?
Heck no!
4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase?
Not sure. Maybe that Ouidad beach spray you mentioned recently.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be?
A cat b/c I would love to lay around all day and get petted. 🙂 Or a dolphin. It would be fun to swim in the ocean.
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies?
Anything with choclate.
7. Something you have to remember to do today?
Call utility companies to schedule turn-off dates for our house and turn-on dates for when we move to our apartment.

Sometimes, if I shower late at night.

Necklaces. I find bracelets sometimes interfere when I’m typing at my desk.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned?
I did not know that gum had an expiration date. My husband always buys gum and I found some when I was cleaning out cabinets. It expired in 2009. Yikes!
Happy Monday!
P.S. I love that tuft of fur sticking out on Tabs belly. Mingy’s looks like that too, and it’s so cute. Also, when he runs fast, his belly will swing from side to side. 🙂
Karen says
Happy Monday to you too, Ruchita!
Re: tabby tums. Do you guys have stairs? When Tabs runs down the stairs, the belly sway is extra cute from behind!
Ruchita says
Oh yes, it’s cute watching all the kitties go down the stairs. 🙂 Ella’s got a low hanging tum too. When she gets to the bottom few steps, she’ll sort of hop down like a rabbit.
Also, when Mingy walks around the house with his tail up his furry bum has quite the swagger. He seems quite proud of himself. 🙂
Karen says
How cute! Tabs does the rabbit hop, too, but only when we’re playing hide and go seek around the house (one of his favorite games).
LOL, boy cats and their furry bums. They’re always showing those things off!
Another thing Tabs likes to do to show off his swagger is rub everything with his cheeks, and I mean everything! Boxes, shoes, purses, people, whatever comes through the door. Does Mingy do that?
Ruchita says
Yep, Mingy does the cheek rub. He’ll also rub up against my legs – especially when he’s hungry!
Now shoes are Ella’s obsession. When I kick off my shoes at the end of the day, she rolls around on them like I walked through a field of catnip! The other day, she was literally hugging a pair of my sandals. And last night she fell asleep with her face in a pair of my husband’s slippers. 🙂
Kiss & Make-up says
1. What’s your favorite time of day? Difficult one! I love breakfast time. And the moment my boyfriend gets home from work.

9. Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces? Bracelets, definitely.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned? Don’t worry so much about what people think of you, some people really are not worth it.

Hey lady, how was your weekend?

Very relaxi taxi 🙂 Just stayed in with the boyfriend.

Night! Just being out at night. The dark sky filled with stars. The lights.
2. What color are your eyes?
Chocolate brown 🙂
3. If you could read minds, would you want to?
No. I don’t want to know information without the person being comfortable in telling me. I think it’s more rewarding when the person does. 🙂
4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase?
Hmmm I want to finally purchase my first eyeliner from Urban Decay. Or perhaps one of those new blushes from Milani.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be?

Friendships can stay strong even with distance. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Julia,
Your first UD liner! That’s very exciting. What shade are you thinking of picking up?
Julia Alkaseltzer says
I originally wanted Rockstar. But now I’m looking at the shades. I might want Vice, or Whiskey, or Demolition or Desperation, aaah! I use browns a lot for liner, or dark grays, and purples are fun liners too. Of course we can’t go wrong with Perversion. Looks like I could end up getting more than one shade. ;D
Kim says
1. What’s your favorite time of day? Afternoon – when I get home from work. 🙂
2. What color are your eyes? Green

4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase? Not really makeup, but Algenist Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be? Probably an eagle for the flying aspect. And the fact that they’re predators rather than prey (no one wants to be eaten) and, plus, they’re endangered and less likely to be shot. Either that or a cheetah. Super fast and agile. 🙂
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies? Gummi Bears
7. Something you have to remember to do today? Check on the delivery time of our vacuum cleaner belt.
8. Do you ever go to sleep with wet hair? Not often – I’m a shower in the morning kind of gal.
9. Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces? Neither unless you count my watch as a bracelet. 🙂
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned? Getting frustrated by other’s mistakes means you can expect to immediately make a big mistake yourself. Thanks for the reminder, Karma!
Kim says
Oh, wait – I’m cheating and read Julia’s “dragon” answer. How did I *not* think of that? Can we have the 5 minute rule so I can change my answer to dragon, too? 😉
Chelsea says
1. What’s your favorite time of day? Afternoon/Evening! That’s when I’m most productive and feel best.
2. What color are your eyes? Greyish Blue, with a dark blue ring.
3. If you could read minds, would you want to? No Thanks!
4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase? VIB Triple Points at Sephora right now, so I’m trying to figure out what to purchase… there’s a couple foundations I want to try (my skin has some color from summer, so I’m actually dark enough to wear the lightest shades of foundations now! LOL – I’m looking at the Nars Radiant Cream Compact Foundation, Urban Decay Naked Skin, and Le Teint Touche Eclat, but I don’t want to buy all of them just to end up returning some, and I don’t feel like going to the store for a sample – the lightest shades all seem to match though!), maybe a Becca Beach Tint… any recommendations?
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be? Bunny, so I could hang out with Quincy – he’s been beaten up by some bunbun friends in the past, so I’d love to be able to give him a friend that wouldn’t beat him up!

7. Something you have to remember to do today? Drink fluids. I’m home with a sinus infection! Maybe Zack will bring me home an Icee…

10. A helpful lesson you recently learned? When you do laundry, really remember to put it in the dryer in a decent timespan!

Late evening. From 9 PM to midnight or so. That’s when I relax and watch Netflix and stuff. 🙂
2. What color are your eyes?
They change. They vary between grey, blue and green. I put green on my driver’s license because I like green better.
3. If you could read minds, would you want to?
No. Because that would be a super invasion of privacy. Plus, I think of the weird off-topic places my mind sometimes goes and I wouldn’t want someone to judge me on that stuff. Thus, I don’t want to do it to them.

I don’t plan that far ahead. 🙂

Raisinets!
7. Something you have to remember to do today?

Not as much as I used too. My hair is naturally wavy so it will look like a hot mess if I sleep with it wet, and for some reason it makes it feel dirty.

Necklaces. My wrists are minuscule, and I’m an artist. Can’t have my bling dunkin’ into paint all day.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned?
Patience is a virtue
Katherine M says
1. What’s your favorite time of day?
~I also love early morning (when I am awake for it and not needing extra sleep), and I love the early evening.
2. What color are your eyes?
~Green-hazel. Golden brown by the pupil with green on the outside and a dark green ring around the whole iris. The left eye has more green than the right eye.
3. If you could read minds, would you want to?
~Probably not, only because I wouldn’t want to know people’s judgements of me good or bad. I also wouldn’t want to hear the perv’s thoughts!
4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase?
~Hmmmm…not sure. Whatever strikes my fancy and whatever I need, I guess. I usually have makeup shopping “spurts,” where I will buy a good bit at once at Ulta or Sephora but then not need anything else for several months. Since it is limited as to where I keep my makeup collection, I try to buy only what I really want or need.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be?
~A horse, of course. My fave animal, and the animals I grew up training.
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies?
~Also love Sour Patch kids, Junior Mints were another fave.
7. Something you have to remember to do today?
~Yoga and CrossFit, and do everything for my workouts.
8. Do you ever go to sleep with wet hair?
~Yes, I do, I don’t like to blow dry or straighten it. And like you, it either surprises me with a good hair day or a bad hair day! I also put my hair up in a French braid or bun wet because it’s easier to manage.
9. Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces?
~Necklaces, I own some cute bracelets but I don’t like how they feel on my small wrists.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned?
~To let things be and go with the flow. It doesn’t help to worry yourself sick. Handle it when it happens. I’ve also learned that I have more in me than I think I do at times (like when working out).

10. A helpful lesson you recently learned?
It’s not a new lesson, but I keep re-learning that I really shouldn’t overbook myself.
I am so grateful that Miss Java has early stage kidney disease instead of diabetes! Much easier to manage — usually changing the food to low protein/low phosphorus does the trick. Just need to make sure our younger cat doesn’t eat all the RX food and then get a protein deficiency…

10. A helpful lesson you recently learned? Kindness goes a long way, but sometimes you need to tell people to hurry up across the parking lot, or to tell them to move out of the way at the grocery store. It’s not being rude, it’s being honest!
Rachel P says
1. What’s your favorite time of day? — Dusk, in the summertime. I can smell grills/campfires, the sunsets are beautiful, the temperature is cool and comfortable, and there is adventure in the air!
2. What color are your eyes? — Blue. One has a brown freckle in the iris.
3. If you could read minds, would you want to? — Yes. It would be useful, especially if it was something I could turn on and turn off, so I wouldn’t get overwhelmed.
4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase? — The Nyx Butter Balm in Red Velvet and Lady Finger, and an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be? — Wild horse! To romp at full speed through open fields, take mountain trails, etc, and race all the other horses!
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies? — I usually just like salty during movies, so I can’t go wrong with popcorn.
7. Something you have to remember to do today? — Box up a pair of Jeffrey Campbell cutout ankle boots that didn’t fit quite right 🙁 I’m sad to part with them and send them back, but if it’s not a perfect fit, it’s not worth the $$!
8. Do you ever go to sleep with wet hair? — Yes, every once in a while. I try to get most of the moisture out so it’s not still bungled and damp in the morning.
9. Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces? — Necklaces.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned? — If you are a “yes” man/woman, really great opportunities can come of it! For instance, I was asked to babysit a few days ago (very last-minute) when I already had plans with a friend coming into town who I don’t see much. At first I decided I just wouldn’t babysit and instead devote all my time to my friend. Then I reconsidered, thinking it would be good to keep positive relations with the family and get a little extra cash. So I negotiated a short night where I’d trade off shifts with another sitter, and I still got to spend a bunch of time with my friend. It turns out there was a celebrity at the family’s party I was babysitting at during my shift, and at the end, they personally asked me to babysit the next night for their own kids! 🙂 If I had just blown off the opportunity, I wouldn’t have had the unexpected brush with stardom. (Not to say you should say “yes” to everything, it’s important to say “no” too, but this experience has made me more open-minded!)
Amy says
1. What’s your favorite time of day?
Early morning! Going for a run in the morning during the summer is the best. It’s kinda fun when the sun is JUST coming up and the neighborhood is so quiet.

Hell no. It would take the fun out of everything and I could imagine it being disastrous.

Revlon Colorstay concealer. I have the cute Clinique brightner/concealer in the clicky pen form, but I think I’ll trade up for the drugstore version. I wasn’t overly impressed to the point of buying it again.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be?
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies?
Those Cookie Dough bites! Oh man. Or anything chocolate & peanutbutter.
7. Something you have to remember to do today?
I had to make an apt earlier for an oil change and new tires. Ugh. Bye bye money.
8. Do you ever go to sleep with wet hair?
Yes! Sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes not so much. It ends up being SUPER shiny when I wake up, but I get crazy kinks and curls that I end up having to straighten out a little. At least it gives my hair a break from the dryer.
9. Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces?
Probably a tie. I always wear my Alex & Ani bracelets and the Tiffany initial necklace my sister-in-law got me. Sometimes the bracelets are too loud at work though so I skip them lol They’re constantly smacking against my desk.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned?
For some reason, I’ve been very reflective on my life lately and getting down about some petty things (guys, wanting material things I can’t afford right now, etc). And it’s all just wasted energy. I think I just need to focus on the positive and enjoy what I have 🙂 Things will fall into place.
Amy says
Ah! Skipped one lol

A sloth seems kinda nice lol They’re so chill. Or a house cat. They have it pretty good.

Evening. I’m awake and alert normally by then.
2. What color are your eyes?
Medium, chocolaty brown with slate grey rings.

Absolutely, positively NO. Could you imagine how many more migraines I would get? I deal with enough of those, thank you.
4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase?
I don’t know, honestly! I’ve been in a clothes and shoes mood, honestly. Oh, and nail polish. There’s always more room for nail polish!
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be?
A wolf. Or a dog. Most likely a wolf so I don’t get nasty dog food! I love canines, and wolves are my favorite wild animal because of the plush fur, striking silhouette and their mentality to stay away from humans. They’ve been billed as human’s enemy, but they are naturally very shy and distrusting of humans. When the going gets rough with a wolf, they find a way to live. They’re ever enduring and hardy animals. I think I’m a little bit like that.
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies?
Crunch bars or Dots for sweet. Extra butter with salt popcorn for salty. I love my popcorn buttery and salty! So unhealthy, but sooooo good! Dr. Pepper for a drink!
7. Something you have to remember to do today?

Necklaces. I’m not a bracelet girl since my wrists are so weak.

4. What’s the next makeup product you plan to purchase? Some more of my favorite makeup remover, Caudalie Cleansing Water. Removes everything, including waterproof makeup.
5. If you could shapeshift into an animal, what animal would it be? I’m not sure. Maybe a cat? No one notices what cats are up to, usually.
6. Your sweet snack of choice at the movies? Sour Patch Kids! Also, an order of fries with melted Tillamook cheddar and sour cream on the side when I’m at Cinetopia.
7. Something you have to remember to do today? Take care of myself. I was supposed to go to the County Auditor’s office today to get a replacement title for my car since we’re trading it in for a new ’13 Accord, but I’m sick as a dog.
8. Do you ever go to sleep with wet hair? All the time. I usually take a shower at night to get all the dirt and grime from the day off, then put my hair up into a loose twist to keep it from frizzing and puffing out during the night. I should get a silk pillowcase to sleep on, actually.
9. Which do you wear more often: bracelets or necklaces? Definitely necklaces. I have three or four I usually rotate between: a yellow gold diamond heart pendant my parents gave me when I was 17; a white gold diamond heart pendant my husband gave me when we were just married; a journey diamond pendant he gave me a few years ago; and an angel necklace my cousin gave me after my first daughter passed away six weeks after her birth in 2010. Honestly, the last time I wore a bracelet was for my wedding in 2006. It was my something borrowed-my mom’s sterling silver rosary bracelet.
10. A helpful lesson you recently learned? Patience is a virtue, even more so with a 10 month old little girl who is possibly just weeks away from starting to walk and currently gets into EVERYTHING. No one said she would never frustrate me at times, but she is more precious than anything else in the world.

i learn little lessons all the time but the most helpful thing i’ve learned was something i’ve known all along, i’ve just found better ways of dealing with it.
