VV Friday Poll

VV Poll Sept 2 VV Friday Poll

TGIF!

Today is the best Friday ever for me as I am off work for 8 weeks! Yahoooooo!

Won’t you join me for a few in the Friday poll?

  1. How was your week? Extremely stressful and awful but getting better now. I feel like I might be getting a cold though.
  2. What is your Saturday morning ritual? I usually wake up between 8:30-9:30. I then put on a pair of PJ pants (I sleep in t-shirt), slippers and then I shuffle into the kitchen for my coffee. Then I normally boot up Nessie (my computer) and look at emails, blog comments, Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes I eat breakfast sometimes I just have coffee until lunch time.
  3. What’s on your nails? Qtica strengthening stuff and that’s it.
  4. What’s your outfit for today? PJ’s and sweats today icon smile VV Friday Poll
  5. When it comes to boots, do you prefer: ankle booties, mid-calf, knee-high or thigh-high? I am a mid-calf kinda gal, though I do have some knee-high boots. I was really anti-bootie until recently, when I’ve seen some cute ones in the fall magazines. Thigh-high is definitely not my style and I think should be reserved for super tall women.
  6. Do you have a favorite item of clothing for fall? Not specifically but I am a huge fan of sweaters. I love big fluffy ones with a cowl-neck.
  7. Lady bugs: cute or creepy? Cute as long as I’m not looking at them through a microscope.
  8. Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live? We have a maple tree in my backyard that does turn a really pretty yellow and orange color. But this area doesn’t have the amazing bright colored leaves that say the New England area tends to have.
  9. Your favorite warm drink is: Super hot non-fat vanilla latte with extra vanilla.
  10. What are your weekend plans? SLEEP. And maybe watch some DVD’s.

  • How was your week?

    Pretty good! I went to dance class, did some work, remitted my first invoice to get PAID.

    What is your Saturday morning ritual?

    I just moved, so I haven’t established one here yet. Usually, my dog wakes me up at 5am and I read the heck out of the weekend New York Times.

    What’s on your nails?

    Nothing! Doing some mad nail art later, so I just finished de-polishing.

    What’s your outfit for today?

    T-Shirt and Jeans. Always.

    When it comes to boots, do you prefer: ankle booties, mid-calf, knee-high or thigh-high?

    I have a pair of each. :) I think boots are better than every other kind of shoe.

    Do you have a favorite item of clothing for fall?

    Flannel skirts, leather jacket. Anything that can be worn with tights and the aforementioned boots.

    Lady bugs: cute or creepy?

    Nature-y

    Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live?

    Most definitely. Fall = my favorite season

    Your favorite warm drink is

    A hot toddy. Perfect for the middle of winter. Oh, and hot apple cider.

    Still unpacking! New running shoes, visiting my cousins, etc.

    What is your Saturday morning ritual? Sleep in then fire up my laptop and mess around on the computer for a few hours.

    When it comes to boots, do you prefer: ankle booties, mid-calf, knee-high or thigh-high? Think I’m gonna have to go with mid-calf; although since I gained some weight it’s sometimes hard to find ones that will fit on my calves! Very frustrating!

    Do you have a favorite item of clothing for fall? I love wearing jeans and sweaters although where we live it’s usually warmer in fall than summer so it doesn’t always work out that I get to wear them.

    Lady bugs: cute or creepy? Cute! I love themQ

    Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live? A few trees here and there but I live on the central coast of California so it is nowhere near as pretty as other places.

    Your favorite warm drink is: I absolutely love a non-fat salted caramel mocha!

    What are your weekend plans? I have 5 days off and absolutely no plans; it was unexpected that I got so much time off so I didn’t plan anything. I hate trying to go places on a holiday weekend anyway; too many people!

    1.How was your week? Tiring. I moved last weekend and there is so…much…stuff to clean, organize, and unpack. Also, adapting to having three dogs has not been easy…the dog that I inherited got into the pantry and has been leaving “presents” all week, plus my little dog has been acting up in protest of the change.
    2.What is your Saturday morning ritual? Ideally, I would sleep in, make coffee and a yummy breakfast that I don’t normally have time to make, walk the dogs, and just be leisurely. This seems to be becoming less and less of an option, lol.
    3.What’s on your nails? BB Couture Playboy. I love the color, but it is chipping more quickly than it should because I did it in a hurry.
    4.What’s your outfit for today? A vintage dress. Primary blue, white, pink, and teal horizontal stripes on top, chevron stripes on the bottom. Pink heels.
    5.When it comes to boots, do you prefer: ankle booties, mid-calf, knee-high or thigh-high? Knee high, but I have a HELL of a time finding ones that fit. I have recently given in to ankle booties for this reason…not as flattering on me, but doable and much easier to fit. No on mid-calf and thigh-high (although my bf would like those, lol).
    6.Do you have a favorite item of clothing for fall? I think tights! I used to be so anti-tights and now I think they are the greatest thing ever…they’re warm, they hold you in a bit, they make all dresses winter-appropriate, etc.
    7.Lady bugs: cute or creepy? Cute!
    8.Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live? Not really. I used to live in NJ and the color change was pretty phenomenal there.
    9.Your favorite warm drink is: Probably a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. OMG…it’s about that time of year, yay!!!
    10.What are your weekend plans? Dealing with the house and unpacking all weekend. Probably visiting my mom tomorrow after my brother gets off of work. Thankfully am going canoeing with a bunch of friends on Sunday…should be fun.

    Hi VV. Happy you’re back and everything’s fine. It’s been strange and quite boring without you…
    How was your week? Lot of things to do but I’m finally figuring out a way to organise my day.
    What is your Saturday morning ritual? I wake at around 8, go for a walk with the kids, some shopping to the open market, then I buy them an ice cream and take them to the playground. When I’m not going out I stay in bed with the kids watching cartoons.
    What’s on your nails? Essence Bloom-a-Loom
    What’s your outfit for today? I’ve been staying home cleaning, so I’m wearing and old t-shirt and shorts both from Terranova and Coolers flip flops.
    When it comes to boots, do you prefer: ankle booties, mid-calf, knee-high or thigh-high? I love all the boots but I don’t think I’ll ever wear thigh-high. Definately not my style.
    Do you have a favorite item of clothing for fall? Where I live it’s still hot ’til December, so I guess my to-go clothes for fall will be short or three quarter sleeved t-shirts.
    Lady bugs: cute or creepy? Cute. And since it’s the only insect I like I’m not willing to watch it on a microscope cause I don’t want to change my mind.
    Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live? Nope. They suddenly turn dry and yellow.
    Your favorite warm drink is: hot chocolate or chocolate cappuccino.
    What are your weekend plans? A whole day by the sea.

And don’t even think about thigh high – it is to laugh.

    7. Lady bugs: cute or creepy? Cute.

    Not really. Actually I need to go shopping since I gave away a whole lot of my clothes to the tornado victims in my area. Now I have nothing to wear! :)

    Lady bugs: cute or creepy?
    Cute!!

    Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live?
    Yes! It’s so beautiful. I always get sad when all the leaves fall off.

    Your favorite warm drink is:
    Apple cider or hot chocolate, depending on my mood.

    What are your weekend plans?
    Laying around, watching TV and eating pie. And eventually doing my homework…eventually.

    1) How was your week? I don’t know that I’ve had a bad week since I was fortunate to be able to retire at the ripe young age of 53.
    2) What is your Saturday morning ritual? LOL, everyday is Saturday now. Sleep in, get up and make us a nice lunch and decide if I’m going to cook dinner (I love to cook).
    3) What’s on your nails? A real oldie. CG Nailslicks Cranberry Cream, a compromise between our still beautiful summer weather and my yearning to go back to my favorite Fall/Winter shades.
    4) What’s your outfit for today? My magenta/white tie die wife beater tee with pretty lace trim. Let’s see some macho man wear this! With a pair of comfy gray drawstring shorts.
    5) When it comes to boots, do you prefer: ankle booties, mid-calf, knee-high or thigh-high? I always wore knee high boots with minis when I was younger but more ankle boots now with pants or jeans.
    6) Do you have a favorite item of clothing for fall? Cashmere/silk blend sweaters.
    7) Lady bugs: cute or creepy? Cute.
    8.) Do the leaves turn amazing colors in autumn where you live? Some, but not like New England. We have lots of evergreens here (PNW).
    9) Your favorite warm drink is: Good chai.
    10) What are your weekend plans? Hanging with a friend since the DH is fishing OOT. We’ll gossip, eat too much (quesadillas, good steaks and honey orange roasted chicken are all on the menu), never turn on the TV, and read in comfortable silence.

    Yeah, I’m late, but we did all these things. It’s been gorgeous here, 80′s, low humidity, cool breezes from Puget Sound (don’t tell anyone, our story is it’s raining, like always). Other than wanting my darker polishes back, I wouldn’t mind if this weather lasted for another 2-3 months.
