What's your opinion?

Okay...read through the following and when (not, if) you comment just put the number and answer yes or no. If you feel you need to explain your answer, great. If not, great. If you want to answer anonymously (sp?) great. But I don't think I put anything embarrassing on here. So, comment AWAY!!!

YES OR NO?????????
1. Music on blogs? Sometimes I enjoy it but other times I forget my speakers are on and it scares the c-r-a-p out of me.

2. Wearing t-shirts out in public? I am about to turn 28 and I realize that as a mom and an adult maybe I should dress a little better when I go out in public.

3. Am I a bad mom? I love to read and since I work during the year, that is what summers are for. Sometimes I cringe when I hear Blake waking up from her nap because I haven't finished the really exciting part.

4. Am I a lizard? This is for those of you that are around me or have been in the past. Do I lick my lips a lot when I am talking? ( I already know your answer, Ryan.)

5. Spandex shorts. Are they ever appropriate?

6. Awkward faces. This is for those of you who have kids. Can you keep from making an awkward face while you are feeding your kids baby food?

7. (Not an opinion, just a fact) Shaving. I am terrible at shaving my legs. Never fails...I ALWAYS miss some hairs, either on my knee or around my ankle. Are you good at shaving?

8. Saving money. Does there come a point, when saving money, that you aren't actually saving you are hoarding?

9. Nail polish. Do you think it is necessary to have polish on your toes for your feet to look good?

10. Getting political. Will you vote for Obama?
If you don't want to answer number 10, for whatever reason, then that's okay. You can just answer this alternate question... will you vote? (title it alt. 10 on your comment...that you will definitely be leaving.)

1. No. Sometimes I automatically leave a blog if it has music, or I mute it.

2.No, only because I'm trying to not wear them in public.

3.No, last summer I sent my kids to Abilene so I could read Deathly Hallows.

4. Yes.

5. Yes, only when biking or I was a little tempted to buy a shotie pair the other day to run in so my tan line would be way up on my leg.

6. Absolutely not.

7. No, that's why I use Nair every other time when I get rid of leg hair.
8. Yes.

9. Yes.

10. heck yes.

heatherw said...

I will answer these too. But, I did want to apologize because apparently my comments box doesn't come up small so that you can still read the post and comment. Anyone know how to fix this? Please don't let this minor problem keep you from commenting.

Meredith on Heather's account

1. Ok, I feel awkward since I recently put music on my blog. Thanks for making me feel like a jerk...(kidding, I'm sure it's annoying but I was just trying to bring a little joy into people's lives, is that so wrong)???

2. I don't usually wear t-shirts. I will at least put on a tank top but, then again, I am a classy lady.

3. No idea but, I will say anytime I hear a child cry, even if I'm not doing anything remotely interesting, I cringe. I'm going to make a wonderful mother to some poor child...

4. Don't remember but I'm going to say yes for revenge to your first question.

5. If you have Kirstie Alley's ass then no. If you have Jessica Biel's ass, it would be insulting to us all if didn't.

6. Again, no idea.

7. I shave everyday and never miss a hair. My problem is that I get a serious 5 o'clock shadow by night time and my legs feel like I haven't shaved them in days! Sick...

8. I have a husband in law school who is bringing in nothing but student loan debt. I don't really understand the words "save money" at this point.

9. I tend to think unpolished toe nails are gross. They always seem to look a little discolored which makes me want to throw up!

10. Yes. And if I hear one more Georgia southern conservative tell me what a bad man he is and how I am a terrible Christian for wanting to vote for someone of his values I am going to punch someone in the face. People who get their current events from Rush Limbaugh have serious mental issues. I'm just saying...

Joni said...

1. No- It is annoying, and it distracts my reading

2. Don't listen to Heather!! YES because if you stop then I will feel pressure to stop!

3. NO- Can you say center time??!!

4. YES- I meant to tell you while you were here. It is kinda of like the clicking noise I make! Sorry!

5. Yes because I know I look good in them!

6. I can't remember my answer... will be continued

7. No- my knees are hairy

8.Yes

9. Yes

10. NOOOOOOOOOOO!! Sorry friend!

Joni said...

#6. Of course not

Chesley said...

#1 I am taking the music off my blog. It whips me! Everytime I move around it starts then stops then starts again. I can't listen when I read my comments so it's kinda worthless. I never get to finish a song!

#7 No. I get so mad when I see those little hairs on my knees that I just spent 20 minutes trying to shave off!

#9 Yellow toe nails are really sick and if you have dirt in your nails then a pretty color will hide that. It unnerves me to see dirty toe nails! I can't think straight.

These were the three I really wanted to answer. I will have to get back to you on the others.

Unknown said...

1. No. I always mute my sound. There is one blog I visit that always has really cool music, so sometimes I will just go to her blog and listen to it in the background. But that is the exception.

2. I've graduated from t-shirts with words to simple t-shirts with no words. slightly more grown up?

3. No. I cringe a bit when they wake me up in the morning.

4. Everyone has said yes, so I will say no so you don't get a complex.

5. Sure, if you look good in them. Yes, I am a lookist. If you're fat and cellulite-y, stay away from spandex.

6. No.

7. Sometimes I find hairs on my ankles and knees that about almost an inch long. Nice.

8. Maybe, but I've never gotten to that point.

9. Yes

10. No

Anonymous said...

1. Blog music sucks

4. Sometimes
5. The further you get from your bike, the more inappropriate your spandex looks

8. Yes, at some point people lapse into "how much more can I save?"
9. No, I have nice looking feet without polish
10. Vote Obama-- We don't need 4 more years of Bush-type rule

Anonymous said...

1. No. I hate myspaces and blogs that have music.
2. T-shirts are good anytime, you have to be able to wear non work clothes out and about. Plus I'm not gonna be that guy who has his shirt tucked into his khaki shorts with a belt...WTF!
3. No! its' called disney channel keeps um occupied for hours.
4. not as much as your sister picks her nose or your husband rubs his head or I put pillows under my arms, but yes you do lick your lips frequently.
5. Not on guys, no one needs to see yours and you don't need to see some other guys your biz-nass
6.No way! you also can't keep from it while your wiping their face, picking their nose or wiping their hineys.
7. Nope that's why I usually have some sort of facial hair, that and the fact that I look twelve if I don't have any.
8. What is saving money??? Oh I forgot about my new job!! I'm rich bitches!!
9. Yes cover up them toes!
10. Obama? Isn't he muslim, and isn't he anti American, and anti white, why doesn't he salute the flag? Heck yes I'm voting for him!!

Betsy@Living in the Moment said...

1. I really like it. i just added it tomine and people tell me that they like it.Judging from these comments maybe they are lying!

2. I would love to but can't find any that look good on me!

3. Absolutely not! I love to read and am a true library nerd sometimes finishing 2 books a month and that is post Kate!

4.never noticed that about you!

5.I think spandex shorts are appropriate for bike riders ONLY! They are pretty necessary but only then!

6.Haven't tried foods with Kate yet but it sounds pretty plausible.

7.I'm alright and shaving but sometimes I feel this thin little strip where I missed and it drives me nuts!

8. I think saving is always saving. I think you can never have enough in your savings.

9.Actually I just got my first pedicure in a year yesterday and I think it is essential to have polish on for my feet to look decent.

10.I will not vote for Obama. He's on the other side of the planet from my views. Seems like a nice guy though and a darn good speaker!

Leslie said...

I also am not sure how I feel about music on blogs, its often scares the crap out of me. And usually I am reading blogs while Haven is sleeping in the next room so that is never good.

tshirts in public....I try not too, but sometimes you just don't care about the people at wal-mart =)

spandex....never a good idea

nail polish on toes. I say its a must

obama..... I am a fan.

couldn't remember the other questions. glad I found your blog. Can't wait till our Girls night out next Tuesday!

sara lindsey said...

2. YES, YES, YES. i believe in comfort.
3. no (from a non-mom)
4. no--don't remember it from ahs
5. yes, or so i pretend. you have long, skinny legs so i give you a for sure.
6. no. i don't have a kid but my mom STILL does this sometimes if she's not eating herself.
7. yes, word
8. not in my world
9. yes (but i have parrot toes)
10. no

Amanda said...

Oooh...fun post.

1. Not for sure. I keep taking it off and then adding it back to mine. I always mute it though, so maybe I should just take it off for good.

2. Yes. I love t-shirts. They should be considered timeless.

3. No. You're only human.

4. I've never noticed anytime that I've talked to you. I probably don't see you enough to know.

5. Only when riding bikes.

6. I make awkward faces when I watch my kids eat on their own. Retarded, but funny when someone notices and makes fun of you.

7. No. I hate shaving my legs.

8. Depends on how you're saving.

9. No.

10. No.
alt. 10. Yes.

suetmom said...

1. NO!
2. I love t-shirts
3. No
4. maybe a little
5. Only when exercising and if you don't have what appears to be lumps of potatoes all over your rear.
6. a definite no.
7. No, but I like to think it is because the hairs on my legs are so light in color I can't see them all unless I'm in direct sun.
8. It is possible I think to become too consumed with saving...a nest egg is important and planning for special "treats" is very important, but making your life miserable because you worry about how much money you are able to save is not a great way to live...at least in my opinion. I say as I just return from a glorious trip to Spain/Italy...sorry girls, that was part of your inheritance!
9. Always
10. Who? Just kidding,,,,a resounding YES.

tara said...

1 - no
2 - totally
3 - you are an amazing mom
4 - Ryan's weird, I've never noticed you licking your lips
5 - NEVER!
6 - no, and they get more stupid with the second child
7 - i hate shaving, some jerk came up with the idea
8 - yes, but i don;t know what that point is
9 - no
10 - is there someone named Obama running for president? weird I haven't seen anything on the news about that

Lori said...

1. No way...I can't concentrate on reading and listening at the same time.
2. yes, unless you run into someone you haven't seen in a while, then it's kinda embarrassing
3. no
4. no-never noticed that, but now I'll be on the lookout!
5. yes, but only under other shorts!
6. definately
7. no, terrible, but fortunatly my leg hairs are blonde and you have to be in the right light to see them if I miss them
8. yes and no...if you aren't willing to give it to others or use it for necessary things, then yes you are hoarding not just saving.
9. no, but you have to have decent looking nails to start with
10. hmmm, I guess I would have to actually vote to answer this...maybe I will this time!

By the way, I have no remedies for crunchy hair...I don't seem to have that problem with my thin, fine hair.

Unknown said...

i wish i had time to answer your questions! and that is not me trying to be too cool by saying "oh, i am just SO busy!" ha ha. i am trying to get out of town tomorrow for a conference in Irving but will be back Friday afternoon with nothing going on this weekend. so email me if you are going to be here through the weekend, FR1310@aol.com

Sara S. said...

1.Usually not.
2.Like your dad, I also wear t-shirts to run errands and hang around the house. I'm all about comfort.
3.I'm with you on this. Dora is my bestfriend.
4.Never noticed this. I will pay attention the next time we are together :)
5. I wouldn't.
6.No. I've also noticed that Ella does it when she pretends to feed me!
7.No! I often find hairs on my ankles.
8. not even close to that point yet
9. I would agree with your friend, Lori. If you have decent looking nails to begin with, it could be okay. I always think that the barefoot girls in JCrew catalogs have cute natural-looking nails. Maybe that is because they are like 14.
10. No, sorry friend. He is an amazing speaker, though.

Lissa Michelle said...

1. Music on blogs?
I don't know how to do it myself, but I think it is fun to listen to others!

2. Wearing t-shirts out in public? Of course!!!!

3. Am I a bad mom?
That doesn't make you a bad mom! You're just having "you" time! And you need to get around to reading the Twilight series. You will for sure be upset when someone disturbs you then!

4. Am I a lizard?
I guess I've noticed you lick your lips, but I do the same thing.

5. Spandex shorts.
LOL! I'm thinking not!

6. Awkward faces.
I think I make awkward noises more than faces. I say really stupid things and make really silly sounds just to keep her attention.

7. Are you good at shaving?
This is one thing I am pretty good at (frequency wise) but I probably don't do a very good overall job.

8. Saving money.
I don't think I save enough for it to be considered "hoarding".

9. Nail polish. Do you think it is necessary to have polish on your toes for your feet to look good?
For me...YES! My toes look horrible without polish.

10. Getting political. Will you vote for Obama?
YES, YES, and again YES!

Unknown said...

1. No

2. Yes

3. Of course not who does not like a little "mom" time

4. I have never noticed.

5. No

6. I think it is impossible not to make a face.

7. Not really

8.We are not to the hoarding phase but hope to be someday.

9. Yes

10. No

Courtney said...

1. Don't usually like music on any website but I keep my speakers turned off so it really doesn't matter.

2. T-shirts in public. YES. I still have not found my over 25 style. I guess I'll keep looking!

3. I have always noticed that when reading other people and interruptions become incredibly irritating. It doesn't matter who or what it is.

4. I haven't noticed you licking your lips. Maybe Ryan's crazy. Far more likely. :)

5. Umm, no. Not if I have to see someone wear them.

6. Nope. The awkward faces just come with feeding babies, putting on mascara, etc.

7. I always miss spots shaving. I really wish I could perfectly shave my knees one time.

8. I think saving vs. hoarding is mostly a state of your heart. At some point you have to ask yourself, aren't there wonderful and meaningful things to spend that money on? I know a father who has spent his life saving and made his daughter feel horrible when he had to pay for her wedding. So sad for her and hard to watch.

9. It probably is necessary but I can't have an opinion because mine are currently unpainted. It's a little difficult to do anything that involves touching my toes right now and I don't have time for a pedicure!

10. Nope. I did thoughtfully consider everyone, though!

Unknown said...

1. I think most "music on blogs" are dumb because most people don't like the same music as I do...little bit snobby about that I guess.

2. Wet t-shirts are even better. You can never be too old.

3. No way...you should read all the time!!! That way you would never want to talk to me and you wouldn't leave the couch for like three days at a time. I love when you do that...I mean, I would love if you did that.

4. I was going to say no, but since you were a smarty pants about it, you already know my answer...get that fly, girl!!

5. Dude, spandex is even a cool word...why just say it? Wear it!!!!

6. I can't keep from eating my kids baby food!!!

7. Once I'm done going through puberty, I'll let you know.

8. Totally...how much do people really need?? There's a lot of people out there who could live very well off of other people's scraps

9. Coming from a man who recently had a pedicure...(yes, I did, ladies)...I'm definitely a fan of the clear stuff that was't supposed to be shiny but ends up growing on you a bit

Alt 10. Probably won't vote...too lazy to turn in my voter registration...Obama is going to win though. I love African-American people...just to let you know.
