A Friday fun poll
Because I am probably not the only one bored or procrastinating at work:
1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger?
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't?
3. What city is your favorite to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there?
4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?)
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now
Re: A Friday fun poll
1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger? I can't really think of one...probably that I have nice eyes
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't? Being REALLY hard on myself
3. What city is your favorite to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there? Santa Monica
4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?) Yes, I cannot imagine how he'd fit in with my family
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now-I'm a mom, I have lots of strange items. I have a green crayon and a Sea Band bracelet (for putting on P's wrist when we go on road trips, he gets carsick).
Because I am probably not the only one bored or procrastinating at work:
1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger? - when I was getting patted down at the airport last month, the lady told me, "Wow, you have an amazing figure!"
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't? - shopping. I just can't help it.
3. What city is your favorite to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there? - Honolulu. It's beautiful, like paradise - but so expensive.
4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?) - Jesus, no. I don't think I'd get past those to even talk to him and learn that I liked everything else.
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now - A flask of vodka and a little bottle of soco pepper. I'm not even an alcoholic.
1. A compliment on my earrings. They're white gold, small "hoops" I guess, with a dangle pearl that my Grandmother gave me as a high school graduation gift.
2. Not wiping down the stove after using it. I hate cleaning the stove. The whole house will be clean yet the stove will have caked on grime until we have people in for dinner who will judge it-then it gets cleaned by DH
.
3. Austin, TX or Santa Monica, CA. I love them both so much and if I didn't have any family or friends here I probably would move.
4. Yes, deal breaker.
5. Silly putty, lol. I like to whip it out on long car rides when I'm the passenger and get bored.
1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger?
I have two pairs of shoes that I without fail get compliments on every single time I wear them... wore a pair yesterday.
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't?
eating cupcakes. Sometimes I just cannot resist and I always feel sick after b/c they are huge
3. What city is your favorite to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there?
Chicago, love it but too cold in the winter
4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?)
Apparently I would, I have a date with a guy tonight that told me this after I already agreed to go out with him. Strangely enough the last guy I went out with did this too... is this something new or are guys just freaking weird around here?
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now
I don't have much right now... strangest is probably a crumpled up coupon for yogurt that I got at the grocery store when I was buying the yogurt and forgot to use.
1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger? That my hair looked really awesome and that they really liked the color. Dude was older and kinda creepy so it didn't have the same effect had it been from some super hottie!
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't? I wouldn't consider it a bad habit, but I have issues with expiration dates. So say the milk expires on 3/5, I'll throw it away a day or two before. Just wierds me out!
3. What city is your favorite to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there? I'm not sure honestly.
4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?) Probably - I think that it's something that I could look past. I mean, it's almost like wearing a hat that matches every outfit or a pair of shoes isn't it?
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now In my purse I have these styrofoam tube things that are like 2 inches long (I have 8 of them) that go into the bow of a pair of my shoes to hold the shape. The other day, I put the shoes on and forgot to take them out - hence why they're in my purse now.
1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger? Some old lady came up to me at a bar couple weeks ago and said I was cute, then walked out the door before I could say anything. She never came back in.
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't? Online dating
3. What city is your favorite to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there? Vegas
4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?) So you are thinking of dating Brett Michaels from Poison?? I am pretty sure he is the only tool on this earth that does this. Goddam right its a dealbreaker, and it should be a leg breaker for whomever does this.
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now Dont carry a purse, but do have a Victoria's Secret giftcard in my wallet right now, never got around to giving it to the last woman I briefly dated..lol

4. Would you date a guy that wore bandanas all the time, in different colors to match what he was wearing? (assuming you liked everything else about him... is this a dealbreaker?) Yes total deal breaker because it would drive me crazy. Men that put too much effort in to matching their out fit worse to deal with in other aspects than women are.
5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now A travel size bottle of gain fragrance frebreeze. I am horrible with smells and bad ones turn my stomach too bad.

5. Name a strange item that is in your purse right now? Used dental floss - I flossed after dinner last night in my car and just tossed it in my purse to be thrown away. Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary!

1. What was the last compliment you received from a stranger?
Hmm...Yesterday a man on the street went "damn, you are beautiful" which made me smile. A random bartender also gave me his sandwich after I promised to come back to see again (the kitchen was already closed). Not a compliment, but a nice gesture.
2. What bad habit do you have that you wish you didn't?
I wish I didn't pick the skin around my nails. I also say "like" as a filler, which I think makes me sound stupid and immature. I'm trying to break myself of that habit.

I loved Paris and would like to spend some time there, but not live there forever.

No. Hell no.
