VV Friday Poll

VV Nov Poll VV Friday Poll

Friday again, woot! The day I look forward to alllll week. But I realized that when all you do is look forward to the weekend, your life sure goes by in a flash! This is why kids today need to do what they truly love for work so you don’t wind up wishing away your life. icon smile VV Friday Poll But enough of the life lessons and onto the poll!

  1. How was your week? Pretty bleak. Website was down most of the week, stress at work, etc. Kind of wishing this year would hurry up and end!
  2. Whatcha wearing on your nails today? Dior Aztec Chocolate
  3. What’s your favorite sound? Cats purring
  4. Any fun weekend plans? Not really. I plan on looking into getting a new website host and maybe re-organizing my nail stash
  5. Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)? Was into Vans when I was younger. Have been heavy on the Chuck Taylors for a few years now, but they are killing my feet. Too tight in the toe-box and no cushion. Might have to switch back to Puma. If you know of a super comfy & stylish sneaker tell me about it I need some!
  6. Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000? No way, not enough $$ for me!
  7. What’s your favorite cheese? I think goat cheese might be my fav, though I am big on Havarti also
  8. What was the worst job you ever had? I worked at a large, very well known company (that makes bleach and other products) as an admin, and it was just awful. WAY too corporate and old-fashioned for me. I quit after 5 months and was already trying to escape my first week in!
  9. What is your favorite kind of salad? I love a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing!
  10. What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but haven’t been able to stop? Eating whatever I want and not exercising. Bad, bad habit that I have gotten into since I started blogging. It’s just so easy to sit on my butt in front of the computer and not exercise. Doesn’t help that I loathe exercising. icon smile VV Friday Poll

    1. How was your week? Unproductive and long. It looks like I might have to make up for my laziness over the weekend :(
    2. Whatcha wearing on your nails today? Essie Love, Beverly Hills xx
    3. What’s your favorite sound? My honey saying my name *swoon*
    4. Any fun weekend plans? We got some Ikea furniture, will probably put that together. I got some of those Alex 9 drawer chests for my polishes because I think the helmers look cheap and ugly . . .
    5. Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)? I tend to like Nike and Reebok. The only time I wear sneakers is to run on the treadmill so . . .
    6. Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000? The shaving my head bald part probably. I’ve shaved my head 3 times already, one of those times I actually BICed it, so that wouldn’t be a problem for me. The not wearing makeup is what I couldn’t do for such a paltry sum of cash.
    7. What’s your favorite cheese? Any and all. The sharper and smellier the better!
    8. What was the worst job you ever had? While I was in undergrad I did my practicum at the Controller’s office on campus because my major was accounting. Those were some of the vilest most unfriendly people I have ever had the displeasure of spending 8 hours with.
    9. What is your favorite kind of salad? Cobb!
    10. What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop? I procrastinate in the worst way. I wait to do everything that’s important till the very last minute. It results in a lot of stress for me, but I can’t seem to change :’(

    • Hi Tamika,

      When my husband says my name it sound so bizarre to me because we never call each other by our names, haha. It’s like he might as well have called me “Samantha” because I don’t recognize it!

    Whatcha wearing on your nails today? CG Bogie.
    What’s your favorite sound? Right now, the chickadees outside. Chick-a-dee-dee-dee.
    Any fun weekend plans? Not really.
    Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)? Usually Nike or Ryka.

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi Melli,

      Mmm Parmesan is so yummy. My latest obsession (thanks to Karen at MBB) are these portobello mushroom raviolis with olive oil, salt & fresh Parmesan. I could eat it like every day but Mr. VV is always “This AGAIN?” hahaha!

      November 5, 2010
  • How was your week? Stressful…Next week will be worse.
    Whatcha wearing on your nails today? ManGlaze Fuggin Ugly on tips and RBL Mismas on toes

    Any fun weekend plans? not really, might go to Ventura to hang with a friend.

    Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)? I’m a New Balance girl

    Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000? Sure, I’m already going makeup free most of the time (lazy) and hair grows. $25K isn’t a lot these days, but hey, that would boost the savings account and I’ve been thinking about changing my hair anyway…who’s offering and where can I sign up?

    What’s your favorite cheese? Provolone.

    What was the worst job you ever had? I worked for CallWave as a temp…my job was to sit at a dark desk in the IT department and enter check payments of $5 and $10 dollars with a few higher ones in there for fun. There were HUGE STACKS OF THEM DAILY. It was boring, and the IT guys were goofy surfer dudes using instant messaging and thinking this “older” lady didn’t have clue what they were doing. It was so obvious, one would type-type-hit enter and the other would giggle, the other would type-type-hit enter and first guy would giggle then the cycle would repeat. It put a bad mark on my temping with that company, but after 3 days, I told them they had to replace me.

    What is your favorite kind of salad? THIS ONE http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000549712

    What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop? I scratch inside my itchy ears…and sometimes that causes inflamation/infection. :(

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi Elizabeth,

      Ugh that job sounds like it was awful. Anything totally repetitive like that kills me, and those guys sound like 12 year olds!

    What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop?
    I’d have to say mine is eating too much and not exercising as well. A few years ago I dropped 25 pounds (I’m not overweight but I just felt sluggish), and golly that was hard to maintain!!! Now I just go with everything in moderation!

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi lynn,

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi Allie Duerden,

    1.)How was your week? Not great, these past two weeks have been hell. My Dad’s OTHER daughter came back to town out of the blue (havent heard from her in 3 months). She showed up at his door step at 9:00 pm on a Tues night, My dog that I have had for 14 years died on Wednesday, my husband left for town for work to come back for one night just to leave to again for another week. Hell pure hell!!!

    2.)Whatcha wearing on your nails today? Right now I am wearing Chocolate Nut by Sally Hansen (very old color). Tonight I plan on changing it to Rubies for Rudolph by OPI.

    3.)What’s your favorite sound? My husband’s voice; I love hearing him laugh, saying my name and my favorite is when he tells me he loves me!

    4.)Any fun weekend plans? Since I am husbandless for the next week; his mom and grandmother are coming into town to keep me company and help clean out my closets!

    5.)Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)? I am a high heel kinda girl. I only buy sneakers to workout in; they are not my favorite kind of shoe…

    6.)Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000? No, it would have to be a lot more; I would want to help my parents pay off their homes… And 25k just wouldnt cut it.

    7.)What’s your favorite cheese? I am a huge fan of Blu Cheese and I love Port Wine cheese this time of year!!!

    8.)What was the worst job you ever had? I once offered to help an “Older lady” she had a broken arm and I felt so bad for her; I offered to help her with any chores or shopping she might need done. She told me she couldnt iron her clothes and asked me to help her with that, she would pay me for it. I assumed she lived by herself; I pulled up to this Mutli-Million Dollar mansion and walked in; she told me she would pay me 50 cents for each shirt and 75 cents for each pair of slacks I ironed; I was there for over 2 hours! The whole time I was there; her and her husband were watching tv on the couch. I was iroining all his stuff too, hardley any of hers! I dont know why he couldnt do it himself or why she couldnt take it to the cleaners? Its not like they couldnt afford it. So I finally get finished, she made me re-iron like 3 shirts, beacuse the collars weren’t exact and I got paid like 15 dollars. Except all she had was a 20 and wanted change back. I never carry cash; so her husband came to my work the next day to collect the 5 dollar change… UGH!!! What a nightmare!!! I felt totally used and taken advantaged of.

    9.)What is your favorite kind of salad? I am a salad snob; so my salads I usually make at the house; Baby Spinach, Mixed Greens, peeled Cucumbers, Green peppers, blu cheese, heart of palms, pine nuts, tomatoes, celery…
    10.)What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop? I sometimes get bumps on the back of my arm, and I pick them! I will make my arm red! I cant help it!!! I know I should not do it and when I do pick it jsut makes it worse…

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi Arlyn,

      I am so sorry about your dog, I know how hard that is. Mine has been gone 8 months yesterday and I miss him like crazy still :(

      On a different note that woman you helped sounds AWFUL and so cheap!

    7.What’s your favorite cheese? Port Salut.
    8.What was the worst job you ever had? I went backpacking after highschool in Australia and did some door-to-door salesment. I hated it, going up to houses to ask people for money must be even worse then being a telemarketeer.
    9.What is your favorite kind of salad? Grilled chicken with Avocado.
    10.What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop? Smoking, I know…..

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi Rosa,

      I actually did telemarketing for I think 2 days and quit. Awful!

      November 5, 2010
  • How was your week? Busy. Busy, busy, busy. But I had no server or network problems (sorry your web host is being such a pill!!!)
    Whatcha wearing on your nails today? China Glaze’s Jolly Holly! It’s a gorgeous green.
    What’s your favorite sound? My cat purring.
    Any fun weekend plans? I had to work last weekend, and I’ll have to work next weekend, so I’m not going out of the house and plan on baking and eating half of a cake. (And possibly watching Firefly/Serenity on DVD.)
    Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)? Some kind of sneakers from Payless Shoe Source. I know, I’m just so glam…
    Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000? I don’t know – only because I like my hair, and I’m of the age that if I were to go bald at this point it might come back in white. Which would just be too damn much hassle to deal with.
    What’s your favorite cheese? Feta!! I know it’s weird, but I love feta cheese. Second favorite, pepper-jack.
    What was the worst job you ever had? Working at CompanyNameRedacted (an itty bitty company). I was creating real estate forms in Adobe Acrobat. I was egregiously underpayed, the boss was verbally abusive to all his employees, and I had to take any job I could (dot-com-bust). When I finally got something else, I was so THRILLED!! (And it was a job in another toxic environment…but my income tripled, so I stuck with that for two years.)
    What is your favorite kind of salad? I don’t know that it has a name: but I start out with Romaine lettuce and baby spinach, add shredded lightly seasoned chicken and cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, garbanzo beans, and seasoned almond slivers.
    What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop? Cynicism. I cannot believe that society can be non-asshat-ish. Sadly, no one’s been able to prove me wrong. It makes being sociable…difficult.

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi LiAnn,

  • Winnie

    1. How was your week?
    The same as always, boring and somewhat dismal. Oh wait, that makes me sound pathetic. I’m just (not so patiently) waiting for a house I own to sell, and there’s NO action on it… Jeopardy theme music playing…
    2. Whatcha wearing on your nails today?

    6. Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000?
    Nope, probably not even for double that, there might need to be another zero added on there for me to consider it, does that make me vain? Or greedy? Ah well…
    7. What’s your favorite cheese?
    Just about any, everything is better with cheese, right? I love a good mozzarella though.
    8. What was the worst job you ever had?
    Uhh.. I worked for an insurance company for 7 years, need I say more?
    9. What is your favorite kind of salad?
    Again, just about any, but BJ’s has a BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad that is to die for, IMO.
    10. What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop?
    Procrastinating, maybe I’ll stop someday….

    November 5, 2010
    • Hi Winnie,

      Yeah insurance sounds pretty darn dry! Part of the reason I hated the job I had at XXXXXX was because it was in the finance department and numbers bore me to tears!

    1. How was your week?

    Lousy.

    2. Whatcha wearing on your nails today?

    Fingers: Nothing yet. I had put on Sephora’s house brand polish in “Violet Amethyst” last night, which looked like a wine-toned purple with a lovely shimmer in the bottle. On my nail it was a winey-brown almost creme where the shimmer was visible only in the strongest light. I HATED it so I took it off late last night and haven’t had time to put on anything else.

    I’m doing my toes in NYC Skin Tight Denim Creme because even though it’s not a creme, it’s pretty much my favorite navy blue polish ever.

    3. What’s your favorite sound?

    Listening to nature. Wind in the trees, gentle rain, a few birds. With lots of silence in between.

    4. Any fun weekend plans?

    Sadly, no.

    5. Adidas, Puma, Vans or Converse (or something else)?

    New Balance. Function over form.

    6. Would you shave your head bald and not wear any makeup for an entire year for $25,000?

    No. But up that figure by two zeroes to the left of the decima point and I probably would.

    7. What’s your favorite cheese?

    Just about any stinky foot cheese, especially if it’s a blue.

    8. What was the worst job you ever had?

    I contracted at a now defunct company. I lasted 3 days.

    9. What is your favorite kind of salad?

    Tuna or egg. But I do like a good fresh tossed salad.

    10. What habit do you have that annoys yourself, but you haven’t been able to stop?

    No comment, because I have no intention of stopping.

    OOOh, I was a Chuck Taylor gal too, but I had the same problems that you did, so I stopped wearing them. Now I “run faster and jump higher” in glorious PF Flyers, (‘center lo’ low top), and I have never been happier! They have the famous “Posture Wedge”, which is actual arch support- so rare in a low top. And they understand their own retro coolness, which is pretty swell. LOVE ‘em.
    Hope your weekend was great!
