What’s On Your Mind?
Have you been getting a lot of calls from pollsters lately? I have. Not just about hot, election topics—most pollsters regret asking my opinion on politics pretty quickly. 🙂 But I’m also getting daily calls asking my “feelings” about dish soap and toilet paper. Seriously, the last guy actually used the word feelings. Yeah, dude, I want my TP to work and not cost a lot. Kapeesh?
I’m grouchy because my wrist hurts after breaking it this weekend. No, there’s not a ‘good story’ associated with my slip and fall. (Which just goes to show you how successful my fiction career is right now because I can’t even come up with a fascinating tale to deflect attention from my klutziness.) Instead, I came up with my own opinion poll. And there’s not a single mention of my feelings about soap or toilet paper. But, there are a few things on the list that a gal can have strong opinions on:
“Scarlett, I don’t give a damn” abs
Red wine Or white wine
Chocolate Or vanilla (seriously, who picks vanilla?)
Piano Or acoustic guitar
Coke Or Pepsi
American Idol Or The Voice
Glee Or Smash
Skittles Or M&M’s
dogs Or cats
Jane Austen Or Nora Roberts
Facebook Or Pinterest
pizza Or pasta
Zumba Or Pilates
The Wizard of Oz Or The Princess Bride
Tim Tebow Or Jeremy Lin
SUV Or Convertible (trust me, someone will pick the SUV)
bubble bath Or hot shower
beach vacation Or ski vacation
Sunday paper Or iPad
theatre Or sporting event
candlelight Or lights out
Kindle Or Nook
Stouffers macaroni and cheese Or Kraft macaroni and cheese
People magazine Or Vanity Fair
midnight snack Or moonlight swim
I could go on here, but my wrist is killing me—and clearly the pain meds are killing a few brain cells. 🙂 Feel free to leave a comment or offer up your own opinions. Just no Mitt, Rick, or Newt, please!
