So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t precisely a poll. It’s much more of a continuously evolving (devolving?), somewhat random listing of concerns I’ve been putting out to visitors every Monday morning for the past 10 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always delighted in reading your answers in the comments, as well as I hope you delight in reading mine.
1. have you ever developed a gingerbread house? (And do you like ginger flavor?)
I’ve never had the chance to make one on my own, however I believe if I did, it would be obnoxiously colorful, with great deals of vibrant sprinkles as well as gumdrops.
I would likewise make flower styles on the roofing system as well as the door, as well as I’d most likely do some elegant landscape design, too.

As for the taste of ginger, I like it when it’s sweet, like in gingerbread cookies, gingerbread lattes from Starbucks (OMG, so good) as well as candied ginger, however that’s about it.
If it’s, like, savory ginger in a dinner dish, I don’t like it.
2. When you want to get cozy, what do you wear?
The softest, warmest, many comfortable thing in my closet, which occurs to be a black as well as red lumberjack Charter Club robe I got from Macy’s on Black Friday.

I purchased it online, as well as I’ve quite much been using it 24/7 because it got right here last Wednesday. I just opened the box, put it on, as well as now I can’t even be bothered to take it off, LOL!
I went out into the front lawn at like 2 o’clock one afternoon to throw away some garbage, as well as my neighbor saw me using this robe. I was like, “Hey, exactly how are ya? Don’t mind me… just wearin’ my robe…”
3. What year would you go to in your hot tub time machine?
This is gonna noise crazy… It even seems crazy as I’m contemplating it, however I would go back to March 2016 best after Connor was born.
I would not want to relive the whole not-getting-any-sleep thing, however I just want to hold her once again as a small bit infant, as well as hold her small bit hands as well as small feet as well as see that small wrinkly deal with for a few minutes/few hours.
Then I’d go back to the spring of 1998, best before I completed college as well as what felt like five long years of school. That was such a pleased time in my life… It was best before the genuine world type of hit me.
It was an El Niño year, as well as it rained a lot. I keep in mind not wanting it to rain on my birthday in June since we wished to get dressed up as well as go out on the town in Sacramento, which we did!
4. What are your thoughts on charm pageants?
I liked viewing them when I was little. I liked seeing the gorgeous women in their gowns, however I believe the idea is ending up being much more as well as much more outdated.
But, you know, if they assist somebody get a scholarship or assist them get an education, as well as I can see exactly how they assist you establish poise as well as public speaking skills, so I can see the positive aspects.
Having a contest just based on your outside looks, though, makes me uncomfortable, since I don’t believe that’s a message I would want to promote, however if it’s something that mothers can finish with their daughters, as well as sisters can do together, or buddies can do together, as well as it’s a positive thing where it’s not mainly just guy leering at women, then why not? I mean, I understand I requirement assist with my posture…
5. If you were a member of the royal family, do you believe you might hang?
Man, I would be that a person person on the balcony that they’d always put to the side as well as then crop out of the photos since I’d be rolling my eyes as well as sticking my tongue out…
I just understand that they have a great deal of guidelines and, like, etiquette, as well as I would have a issue keeping that since I don’t like being told what to do.
I’d be the discolor upon the family, however I’d have fun!
Happy Monday
I’ve been believing about this thing I checked out about… I don’t keep in mind where, sorry. It was most likely while scrolling with my phone in the middle of the night. It was about exactly how your atmosphere doesn’t manage you; you’re in manage of your environment, which essentially means, for example, that if your space is a mess as well as it’s driving you nuts, you have the power to exert your will over the room.
The space isn’t telling you what to do. It’s not saying, “Hey, you have to keep me messy.” You can clean it up, which I understand seems simple, however I believe it’s a great reminder, as well as not just for housework, however for things in your life that you may not be pleased about.
Even though you can’t modification whatever overnight, you can take bit steps to get manage of your environment.
I, for instance, am gonna exertmy will on these filthy makeup brushes this afternoon. have a fantastic week.
