So…what is the Monday Poll?
Vel, det er ikke akkurat en meningsmåling. Det er mye mer av en kontinuerlig utvikling (devolving?), Noe tilfeldig liste over spørsmål jeg har satt ut til leserne hver mandag morgen for de siste 11 (!) År. (Det er som en kickstart for hjernen din.) Jeg har alltid glad i å lese svarene dine i kommentarene, og jeg håper du gleder deg til å lese min.
1. What’s something that always makes you emo?
Honestly, my hormones. I blame them for everything. just the other day… By the way, I’m kind of swelling with them best now. The other day I saw a lady with two babies — newborn twin girls — at HomeGoods, and I could feel the tears welling in my eyeballs. I was standing there with a lemon-printed Ralph Lauren tablecloth about to have a breakdown in the kitchen section.
Hormones.

And just typically speaking, and this is gonna sound weird, but I can’t view apocalyptic stories, situations, films and TV shows anymore… I hope it’s temporary, but I get too emotional, which is why you haven’t heard me talk about The walking Dead for a hot second.
2. Snow or surf?
Ideally, live someplace where you can surf every day, and then go on getaway to someplace where it snows.
I joke around that Connor’s gonna be an Olympic ? snowboarder, because I really don’t like the snow, but if she were chasing gold medal dreams, Momma would put on layers of thermals to drive little bratus to and from snowboarding lessons.

As for Tabs, he’s never seen the snow, so a relocation up to a snowy place like Tahoe would probably not be in the cards best now…
3. Are humans alone in the universe?
Well, I think it’s a very human thing to say that we’re the only intelligent beings out there, and part of me wants to believe that because, I mean, undoubtedly the aliens ? are gonna be smarter and better at everything than we are, and when they do finally touch down, if you follow any sci-fi at all, we’re all screwed. but with the vastness of the ? universe (there are literally TRILLIONS of other stars out there) and our current technology, I think we just haven’t bumped into them yet. but it’s only a matter of time.
Who knows how long it’ll be? — a hundred years, thousands of years — but we’re gonna find them, or they’re gonna find us.
4. Did you (or do you now) wear braces? If so what was it like?
I did wear braces for over half my childhood and many of my teen years, and back then they didn’t have Invisalign. You had metal in your mouth.
About that…I remember it being incredibly pointy. I was continuously living with pointy things against the sides of my cheeks and my lips. think of having screwdrivers and washers in your mouth all the time and having to live like that 24/7.
Eventually, I got used to it, but thank gawd I wore that retainer religiously afterward and didn’t have to put the braces back in.
5. would you be ok with a stranger clipping your toenails?
If it was a creepy Craigslist thing in an house building tucked away in the deepest parts of town, certainly no, but if it was at my regular nail beauty salon with the joyful lady who always asks about my life, then it would be fine.
This new coffee that I got at Target!
This cup as full a second ago, I swear
Leave it to the sweet-toothed sassypants (aka THIS girl best HURR) to get the sweetest sounding coffee drink on the shelf. I couldn’t pass this one up — Vanilla Bean Crème Brulée Light Roast Coffee by Archer Farms. The package says it has notes of vanilla and burnt sugar, and so I was, like, “Yup! That’s going in the cart!” If there was such thing as brownie coffee, or cupcake coffee, or birthday cake coffee, I’d be all over those, too. give me sweet any old day of the week… Although, I do love a combination of sweet and salty, too, mostly because the salty makes the sweet tastes even much more sweet. I started drinking this over the weekend and I love it. It’s sweet but not sugary sweet. You get the notes, like the essence of it, but it’s not like your tastebuds are assaulted by waves of crème brulée. I like it a lot.
I love trying new coffees, don’t you? Or are you much more of a stick-to-one-coffee kinda lady?
