So…what is the Monday Poll?
Good question! It isn’t, as opposed to its name, an actual poll. It’s just a list of five much more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past gazillion years (more than 10!). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a great start. ?
1. once a week for a year, would you rather get a totally free manicure and pedicure by a trained professional who concerns your house, or a totally free 60-minute massage at your favorite spa?
Seriously, this one’s SO brutal because I just got my nails done for the first time in two years, so the wonderfulness of having professionally painted paws is still fresh in my mind, but despite the delight I would get from looking down at perpetually perfectly painted nails…I’d still choose the massage, because I love that loose-y goose-y feeling after an intense deep-tissue session.
And it would have to be deep tissue. I got a Swedish massage a few years ago, and it just felt like someone was rubbing lotion on me for an hour.

2. Your favorite cheese?
A sharp white cheddar with BITE, and I’d like a piece best now with a handful of cotton candy grapes. Thx!
3. If you had to be haunted by a ghost, by whom would you choose to be haunted?
Well, duh! Tabs, obviously.
4. Last time you wore false lashes?
Honestly, I can’t remember. It was certainly much more than six months ago… It may have been much more than a year?

5. What time did you get up this morning?
5:45, and it was relatively easygoing this morning. I had minimal sleep inertia, which is unexpected considering that I stayed up later than I wanted to last night. I started The Glass forest and couldn’t put it down.
I’m still a little groggy, but what else is new? LOL!
Come on ride the train…and ride it (WOO WOO!)
Can you remember the last time you rode a train? Last year a new passenger rail line called smart that goes from Sonoma to southern Marin started up in my neck of the woods, and I rode it for the first time yesterday!
El Hub, Connor and I were in the mood for adventure, so we took it up to Santa Rosa in Sonoma, where we grabbed lunch and did some sightseeing for a couple hours.
Dude, that train is all kinds of fancy! There are power outlets by every seat, hooks for bikes, overhead bins for your stuff, bathrooms *and* a snack bar! The scenery on the way to Santa Rosa was gorgeous, too. Rolling hills and farmland, vineyards, cows, horses.
It reminded me of the trains El Hub and I rode when we went to Europe before we were married a billion years ago.
Of course, yes, I sang “Come on ride the train…and ride it. Woo! Woo!” the entire time.
