So…what is the Monday Poll?
Well, it isn’t exactly a poll. It’s a lot more of a regularly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past 11 (!) years. (It’s like a kickstart for your brain.) I’ve always took pleasure in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you take pleasure in reading mine.
1. fringe or ruffles?
I’m gonna opt for the one I would put on a wedding dress — ruffles all the way!
Or…one tasteful ruffle. To je vše co potřebuji.

2. how old were you the first time you dyed your hair?
Does dyeing my mustache count? Haha.
Off the books, I was in middle school, and there was a bottle of contraband Sun-In involved. I put some in my bangs, but it didn’t really do anything.
The first official time was with hair color out of a box, ideal when I started college. Jen and I went to the Thrifty in our neighborhood, gotten two boxes of blonde hair color (yes, blonde), and used that on my hair to lighten it.

We’d heard from a friend of a friend that that’s what you had to use to lighten black hair… It worked a little. It was kind of reddish and uneven, but thank goodness my hair was dark and you couldn’t really tell how uneven the color was.
3. Can you multitask while you eat?
Honestly, what can’t I do while I’m eating?? I work with a diva kitty and a two year old.
You can do a lot of things with a baby in your lap. Like, I can feed her. I can feed myself. I can pet the cat with my foot. All at the same time.
We were at lunch yesterday sitting outside at a place in Corte Madera, and El Hub couldn’t even eat a sandwich with Connor sitting sidesaddle on his ideal hip. I kept thinking, “amateur.”
4. have you ever slept in a tent?
Yes, and I can count them all on one hand. and I plan to keep all the times I ever sleep in a tent on one hand going forward. because I don’t like sleeping in tents.
5. What’s something you’d like for your kitchen?
Well, if a complete remodel isn’t an option, I’d love a new sink and faucet… That’s the functional side of me talking. The impractical side of me wants all of the purple Le Creuset pieces I saw at Sur La Table yesterday. There was an ombre baking pan and a purple dutch oven shaped like a flower… I died a little. ?
The pink drink that’s NOT the pink drink
This might look like a pink drink, and when I hold it in my hand and shake the ice cubes around, it sounds like a pink drink, but it’s not a pink drink! You know I’m a Starbucks junkie, and so I’m always trying new things, and this drink is incredibly tasty — not too sugary or calorie laden (if you’re concerned about any of those things). It’s a passion iced tea, unsweetened, with a splash of coconut milk.
It tastes like the pink drink but isn’t nearly as sweet… I think it’s incredibly good! I got this yesterday when I was walking around the mall, and considering that it looks like it’s going to be sunny here again, I may have to go back for another one.
I hope wherever you are today, you’re feeling warm and happy.
