So…what’s the Monday Ballot?

Glorious query! It isn’t, opposite to its title, an precise ballot, like with little clicky buttons. It’s only a listing of kind of random questions I’ve been posting on this weblog each Monday morning for the previous quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Grossest Halloween sweet?

There are such a lot of to select from, ha ha ha! Smarties, Swedish Fish, Bit o’ Honey, Good & A lot, Sizzling Tamales, something involving licorice… Once I was a child, I’d instantly decide all of these out of my sweet stash. So gross!

2. Turtleneck or tights?

I’ll take the tights. I don’t like something that encloses my neck until I can instantly take it off! And is it simply me, or are turtlenecks all the time kinda itchy?

3. Do you want attempting on paper fragrance samples in magazines and catalogs?

You already know, despite the fact that these samples *by no means* scent just like the fragrance within the bottle, I do get a kick out of smelling a pattern and attempting it on my wrist. Perhaps it’s as a result of I grew up studying a ton of magazines, and it all the time felt like a deal with to discover a pattern between the pages. It nonetheless delights me for some motive.

4. A core reminiscence from Halloween from once you had been a child?

I used to be all the time going trick or treating with probably the most random assortment of children from the neighborhood, and one yr, I went with a woman named Peachy. We went to a seemingly regular-looking home with its lights on, knocked on the door after which heard loud, terrifying screams from inside. I keep in mind us operating for our lives down the driveway and to the sidewalk. Somebody obtained a kick out of scaring the children that night time, apparently.

5. What are you at the moment marathoning?

I began the brand new BBC “Nice Expectations”, and it’s tremendous bizarre! I couldn’t look away, although. Oh, on the weekend, I watched the documentary sequence on David Beckham on Netflix, too. I don’t know a lick about soccer aka soccer, but it was compelling sufficient to observe your complete factor.

Hiya and pleased, pleased Monday, my good friend. This morning once I walked Connor to high school, I observed so many timber in our neighborhood altering their colours, and now, once I go for walks outdoors, there’s a gradual crunching of leaves beneath my toes. There’s one thing magical about this in-between time. I don’t suppose I’ve observed it earlier than, but it surely simply feels so calm and comfortable. I actually find it irresistible.

Take it simple and be variety to your self right this moment, OK?

Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,

Karen
