I hope good surprises find you this week.

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, in contrast to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five a lot more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. ?

1. One must-have product you keep in your purse in any way times (besides your wallet, keys and phone)?

I would love to answer this with something quirky, like a tube of green paint or an ice cream scoop (both of which have been in my little black backpack lately), but the real answer is something decidedly a lot more functional — an asthma inhaler. So not exciting, but necessary!

2. What’s your favorite pie?

Still trying to figure this out, which is why I recently embarked upon what I call “The epic Pie Quest of Fall/Winter 2020.” It’s why I tried making lemon meringue pie for the first time last week.

As of this morning, I’m about 80% sure my favorite’s pecan pie, but I’m leaving wiggle room in case I find something I like more.

3. One thing you still have from your childhood?

Three scars, none of which I remember getting. I’ve just always remembered having them, but I’ve been told how they appeared. two of them are small oval-shaped marks, one on each shoulder, which were from immunizations I got as a kid, and I also have a tiny divot on my forehead that I got from chicken pox when I was four.

4. Eyeliner: purple or bronze?

BOTH! but if I had to choose one, I’d opt for a dark plummy purple.

5. What color was your prom dress?

It was a black skirt with a white top, which was surprisingly conservative now that I think about it. I took a lot of fashion risks when I was in high school and dressed kinda wacky, so I’m shocked I didn’t opt for something colorful.

6. least favorite color?

Baby poo green, blah!

7. What’s the weirdest word in the English language?

Fork. No question about it. because when you say “fork” over and over again, it starts to sound like nonsense. Fork, fork, fork, fork, fork!

8. stairs or elevator?

Stairs, because 1) I wear tennis shoes anywhere now so my footwear is no longer an obstacle (a legit issue for me back in the early aughts), and 2) I gotta get my steps in whenever and wherever I can.

9. A makeup skill you’re pretty good at?

Dainty winged liner is my jam, lady. I can do it pretty swiftly on the fly!

Your friendly neighborhood appeal addict,
