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. Converse or cowboy boots?
Converse, but they’ve gotta be platform Converse!
2. A sweet treat that reminds you of elementary school?
I don’t know why, but pudding was all over the place when I was in elementary school. I remember eating a lot of pudding made from a box, pre-made pudding in plastic cups (tapioca was my favorite) and Jell-O pudding pops all the time. There was so much damn pudding, LOL! I barely eat it as an adult, but as a child, I remember it being a big thing.
3. Barrettes – yes or no?
I like the idea of them in theory, so yes. In practice, though, I rarely wear them. Maybe I need more barrettes in my life!
4. Something that surprised you about getting older?
That my hands and my forearms would sometimes hurt after doing physical work. It was kind of shocking! I’ve always had strong hands (I think playing piano seriously from when I was four until 17 years old helped develop a lot of finger dexterity and strength), but now, I have to purposefully do things for recovery, like stretching, otherwise they’re sore.
5. A scent that make you happy?
Lilacs. Violet notes in perfumes. A pie baking in the oven. The air in my lungs on a sunny day after it’s been raining for a long time. Sunscreen at the beach. The top of a baby’s head.
