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. A book series you enjoy?
Do two books constitute a series? A few years ago I read a couple of related books by author Martha Hall Kelly, “Lilac Girls” and “Lost Roses,” both which I loved.
More recently I liked “The Winternight Trilogy” series by Katherine Arden. I finished “The Bear and the Nightingale” and “The Girl in the Tower.”
2. Have you ever worked on a farm?
No, I haven’t. I sometimes wonder if I’d like it. I probably would.
3. An all black outfit or an all white outfit – pick one to wear today.
All black everything, girlfriend! You know how we do it!
4. Would you ever do skinny brows again (assuming you lived through it already)?
You know I always like to keep my options open, but in this case, I wouldn’t do it.
Back in the day skinny brows were a big pain in the butt to maintain, and I figure at this point, if I tweezed my eyebrows off again, they might never come back.
5. Pick a color of pastel eyeshadow: pink, yellow, orange, blue or green.
Let’s go with pastel blue, with a matte black liner on top with a tiny flick at the end.
6. Where would you rather get a tattoo: the front of your neck or the back of your hand?
I’m not a tattoo person (too fickle), and I’d rather not subject myself to pain unless it’s absolutely necessary, so both of these are nightmare scenarios for me.
If I had to choose, I guess the back of my hand. UGH. Something very small and kinda cute on the chance it might even grow on me. Actually, I know myself way too well. I’d make an appointment to get it lasered off a day or so after living with it, ha ha ha.
7. Which would you rather wear: a glossy, grunge-y eye or a super dark matte brown lip?
A glossy grunge-y eye sounds fun. Now where’s my oversized plaid shirt and my combat boots?
8. Clear mascara — your thoughts?
It has its uses, although for my lashes these days I’d prefer black mascara. If I had a tube around, I’d use it to tame some cowlicks. They’ve been EXTRA lately!

P.P.S. Hi there, my beautiful friend. I realized two things this morning! First thing: Daylight savings is on Sunday, so hooray for longer days. Secondly, spring is on March 20. I’m so looking forward to both.
Keep smiling and enjoy the rest of this beautiful day! Sending a big hug your way.
