Non-clicky Poll.....partially stole from MM
MM had a poll and I liked some of the questions....bringing it over here because I feel like we are slow today.
1-What are you busy doing today?
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower?
3-what about shampoo?
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day?
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why?
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what)
I feel like I could be more creative.....but not feeling it today.
Re: Non-clicky Poll.....partially stole from MM
1-What are you busy doing today?
Sending out this week's B-Day/Work Anniversary cards at work
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower?
Random body wash, no regular soap for me
3-what about shampoo?
It is some kind of shampoo that is supposed to be good for color treated hair from the salon I usually go to.
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day?
I've been thinking about that lately (even though I have 4 months to go!), and (as of right now) I have it down to Chandlers, Brave Horse Tavern, Lunchbox Laboratory, Pies and Pints and Steelhead Diner... good thing I still have awhile to figure it out! I'm a freak who likes to start planing out my b-day about 6 months in advance.
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why?
My Dad, he is a self-centered/ self-absorbed d-bag, his general ass-hattery would take a hour or two to describe fully. If I were to have a baby any time in the near future, he would not be allowed to meet his grandchild. Nor, would I ever let him know I was pregnant.
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what)
Yes, as a "child bride" a'la My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding

Busy procrastinating on my huge final project/paper for school....basically like a capstone project...

I have been using some Dove body wash that I got from Costco a while ago. Its almost out though, so I need to get something new.

Last year we went to a Mediterranean restaurant in Bellevue that I love....not sure where I would want to go this year. Somewhere nice?

Nope....sadly.

Girls night later to look forward to
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower? I asked my mom for body wash for christmas last year, so she went to bath & body works and bought me 9 bottles.... she went a little overboard... so I am finishing up those. I forget which scent I'm on

4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day? our favorite is Elliott Bay Pizza right by our house in Mill Creek/Lynnwood
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why? my aunt. She is a sweetheart, but she is obsessed with this band from the 70's or 80's and leaves her teenage daughter home alone in the trailer for weekends at a time to follow this band across the countr and go to their concerts.
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what) nope - I don't do dressing up. I'll be passing out candy to all the kiddies in the neighborhood.
Sure, I'll play!
1-What are you busy doing today?
Um, laundry, mostly, and starting (finally) on my Halloween costume. :X
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower?
Uh, I think we have Johnson & Johnson at the moment, but I don't like it and want to find a different one.
3-what about shampoo?
Aveeno... one of their nourish+moisture formulas
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day?
Daniel's! I love me some steak.
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why?
My mother's mother. Hoooooboy are there stories about her. For one thing, she's the only person I know who got excommunicated from the Catholic church. She claims it's for getting a divorce in the 50s, but the family suspects it's because she bore a baby out of wedlock (my uncle), got married, cheated on her husband (my mom's dad), got caught, and THEN got a divorce (not by her choice, and his family was very vindictive about it!).
She has dogs that she feeds from her own fork (and then if the dog doesn't finish the bite, she will!), who are both grossly overweight (due to eating people-food and being under-exercised, likely) and not at all house-trained (ew). When she decided that she didn't want to live on her own anymore, she didn't understand why no one who was willing to take her in wouldn't take her AND the dogs.
She's one of the most self-centred people I've ever met. She either finds a way to turn every single conversation, no matter the topic, into being about her and her interests, or she sulks.
She's extremely shallow and materialistic; she only likes men who have a lot of money, doesn't have a lot of time for women of any sort, and cares more about appearance than anything else.
I could go on all day, but why?
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what)
A mad science experiment! We're making a little frame with either an ultrasound or baby-skeleton/x-ray photo in it and attaching it to a wide elastic belt right over my belly, with lots of tubes and wires and glowy things. My husband's going as the mad scientist, of course.
1-What are you busy doing today? Working.
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower? It changes... but I like Caress Glowing Skin
3-what about shampoo? Panteen for curly hair.
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day? I really want to go to Teatro Zinzanni. Or maybe Jazz Alley. Or stay at Salish Lodge?
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why? I have several dysfunctional relatives.
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what) No.
1-What are you busy doing today?
Cleaning, doing laundry, and making adorable cake pops to look like mini pumpkins for dessert with friends tonight.
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower?
My preference is anything by St. Ives, but I'll use pretty much anything.
3-what about shampoo?
I'm a big Suave lover, but lately I've been using trial sizes of different shampoos to see if I like something else better.
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day?
I don't know if there is one out here, but I've gone to Chili's pretty much every year since I was a kid.
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why?
I don't know that I could pick just one. But for the question's purpose, I'll choose my mom's dad. He's evil. We'll leave it at that.
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what)
Not this year. Which I'm very sad about because Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love dressing up. But this year, no where to go and no one to spend it with besides H. Bummer.
1-What are you busy doing today? I went to the dentist earlier...and that's going to be about it.
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower? A coconut soap...I don't remember the name now.
3-what about shampoo? Head and shoulders.
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day? Outback!
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why? I would say my cousin Fred. He has been in and out of jail for durgs.
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what) I plan on putting on some bunny ears and painting my my face for work. That's about it.
my currently-reading shelf:
1-What are you busy doing today? Working, or pretending to work.
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower? ShiKai Cucumber Body Lotion. My skin is uber sensitive and has been happy with this one for at least 6 years now, score!
3-what about shampoo? Head and Shoulders.
I get itchy scalp, but not dandruff, and this is the only thing that really tackles it well and it smells good. I used to use fancy expensive stuff but it just didn't work so well.
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day? Probably Purple since it's my FAVORITE, but maybe I'll explore something new this time around. Usually H cooks for me at home since going out NYDay kinda sucks.
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why? My mom. She had a hard first 6 years of life that, no matter how much counseling, every really seemed to get resolved. She constantly snipes but can't see what she says at hurtful and calls us all too sensitive, yet you make a JOKE and she freaks out. She is also completely paranoid, is a bit delusional about history and makes up different "facts,". She is also beyond self-absorbed at this time, acts out worse than any child she probably ever taught over 30 years of teaching, but refuses to acknowledge it or to control herself.
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what) Maybe, we're having impromptu Halloween at work, so I'll wear my dirndl and actually get the shirt and apron sewn over the weekend and wear my blonde braid wig. I'll either keep that on for handing out candy or change into a cozy H-related tshirt.
Chores, errands, dinner out tonight
2-what kind of soap do you use in the shower?
Several types, but usually handmade bar soaps
3-what about shampoo?
shampoo bar (like soap); also TJ's tea tree stuff
4-what restaurant do you want to go to for your b-day?
I don't know -- would depend on my mood, i guess, and who/how many people we're going with.
5-who's the most dysfunctional person in your family, bonus points for explaining why?
My dad
6-are you dressing up for Halloween? (as what)
I did last night; i don't think i will on halloween. We have a couple masks i could wear for trick or treaters. Sometimes we go to a friend's house for dinner, movie and handing out treats; i'll probably wear my costume if we do that. Flapper girl (no fringe, though).
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
