Re: Merry Monday Poll
What was your favorite part of the weekend? Spending it at home with H and JJ. Both me and the little man were sick, so we didn't even go to the game on Saturday or leave the house...which was nice. We all just stayed in, watched football, played around and had fun.
What will you be making with pumpkin this year? Nothing. I'm not a big pumpkin fan, sorry to say. My mom makes pumpkin pie every year though.
Do you like crafty things, like yard signs for the holidays/stuffed scarecrows and wreaths? Yes! I put some stuff up in my apartment and can't wait to switch them out for Christmas.
When's the last time you were mean to someone? This morning. H and I got into a spat over cars. It was funny in the end, and I wasn't really rude, but I felt bad for it and apologized.
What was your favorite part of the weekend? I was able to treat myself to a manicure and a little time away from the books
What will you be making with pumpkin this year? Not a cook, my mom is making pumpkin pie though
Do you like crafty things, like yard signs for the holidays/stuffed scarecrows and wreaths? Absolutely, of course I don't make them myself but I love to buy them!
When's the last time you were mean to someone? Not a mean person, I have a tendency to say what I say and move on
What was your favorite part of the weekend? I went to Stillwater Friday night and had a blast! My little girl moved a bit lower with all the walking and I officially got the waddle going Saturday...
What will you be making with pumpkin this year? I will be carving my pumpkin but I don't really like the flavor of pumpkin too much so I won't be cooking with it.
Do you like crafty things, like yard signs for the holidays/stuffed scarecrows and wreaths? Oh yeah, I love all that is holiday decor.
When's the last time you were mean to someone? Apparently I was quite the hag this morning once I read to post from yesterday.
What was your favorite part of the weekend? hanging out at home and baking with M. She really likes to help me stir and pour things in the bowl.
What will you be making with pumpkin this year? I've made pumpkin cupcakes this past week. But I'll make my gingerbread trifle that I make every Thanksgiving. It has a pumpkin/pudding mixture that is wonderful.
Do you like crafty things, like yard signs for the holidays/stuffed scarecrows and wreaths? I have wooden yard stakes and a wreath on my front door.
When's the last time you were mean to someone? I got pretty mad at someone this past weekend. This woman was standing in one of the booths I was looing in at the craft show. I tried to reach around her to grab something. She knew I was there and didn't try to move to the side. I said "Excuse me" so she knew to move just alittle so I could grab a box but she just turned to look at me and didn't move an inch. She was just standing there talking to her friend. So I got pushy and reached in between her and her friend to grab what I wanted. Probably not mean but somethings you have to be pushy to get what you want.
What was your favorite part of the weekend? I loved having people over on Saturday for the OU/Mizzou game... However, I realized that I'm not much fun when a lot of wine and football are combined. I ended up passing out on the couch before everyone left. lol
What will you be making with pumpkin this year? Pie and bread hopefully. Pumpkin bread is one of my most favorite things in the whole wide world.
Do you like crafty things, like yard signs for the holidays/stuffed scarecrows and wreaths? I like them, but I don't think they are very "me." I like wreaths on the front door, but not big glittery ordeals... I like to keep my decor simple. My sister crafted a wreath for me out of candy corn for Halloween and it MELTED. lol
When's the last time you were mean to someone? I honestly don't know. Even when DH and I are having a disagreement, I'm still not "mean." I can't remember the last time I went out of my way to be rude to someone... Hmm...

When's the last time you were mean to someone? Probably Saturday. This one chick that I used to be really good friends with has not spoke to me in about 2 weeks and we see each other quite often. Well Saturday she was at the same tailgate as me and I never uttered a word or made eye contact with her. I do not plan to talk to her or ask her what is up her a$$ because all she wants to do is bring attention to herself and cause drama and I am not giving her that glory.

When's the last time you were mean to someone? I'm not sure if it counts as mean, but I was snotty to a student today. Their papers have been assigned for 10 weeks and are due tomorrow. They have step by step directions and A+ examples to look at. We've been going over how to do certain pieces in class for weeks now.
Student A (who never comes to class) today: "I'm not sure what to do for my paper. Can you explain it to me?"
Me: "Just do what the directions say, look at the examples, and follow the steps we've been working in class all semester long."
Student: "But I need help"
Me: "Do you have a specific question?"
Student: "No. I don't even know where to start."
Me: "I have office hours tomorrow at 1pm"
Student: "But then I'll only have a couple of hours to write my paper. That's not FAAAAAIIIIIRRRRR!"
Me (calmly, but I'll admit, with a "you better cut that sh!t out right now" look): "You've actually had 10 weeks to write this paper. You also have all night. I'd start by reading the directions and the example A+ papers I posted on our course website if I were you. See you tomorrow."
