Hello lovelies! What's up. Here's a (completely self-serving) poll for all my friends:
1. What time were you up this morning?
2. How much do you hate the time change?
3. If you were going to buy a great pair of fall boots today, would you get black or brown?
4. If you were going on a date night on Thursday for your birthday would you go to an old standby that's your fave or try something new?
5. Are you off work on Friday? (Are we EVER truly off work?)
6. Should I get Simon his own Anywhere chair or just order him a cover and use the same inside as Alex's, which has been in our room for 6 months? Tricky because Alex hasn't used it at all but you know the minute Si has one he'll want his back!
Re: Monday morning POLL
1. What time were you up this morning? 6:30 - not too bad :-)
2. How much do you hate the time change? It's working for me this year - we started pushing T's bedtime back last week so now it's back to "normal"
3. If you were going to buy a great pair of fall boots today, would you get black or brown? Both :-) , or black since I seem to be wearing more of that lately
4. If you were going on a date night on Thursday for your birthday would you go to an old standby that's your fave or try something new? Hmmmm.... I think it depends on how long it's been since you've been to your old fav. If you've been recently try something new, if not, go with what works :-)
5. Are you off work on Friday? (Are we EVER truly off work?) For the first time in 2 1/2 years, No, I start my part time job tonight...
6. Should I get Simon his own Anywhere chair or just order him a cover and use the same inside as Alex's, which has been in our room for 6 months? Tricky because Alex hasn't used it at all but you know the minute Si has one he'll want his back! I would try to get away with just a cover and if Alex balks, then go ahead and get another chair...1. What time were you up this morning?
7am
2. How much do you hate the time change?
Hasn't been too bad for us.
3. If you were going to buy a great pair of fall boots today, would you get black or brown?
I would usually say black but it really depends on the style of the boot.
4. If you were going on a date night on Thursday for your birthday would you go to an old standby that's your fave or try something new?
Depends on what the something new is. If it is something I really wanted to try then I would do the something new. Although I would be bummed if it wasn't very good.
5. Are you off work on Friday? (Are we EVER truly off work?)
Kind-of. I usually would have to do payroll that day but since it is a holiday I have to do it the day before. I don't think I'll be working on Friday.
6. Should I get Simon his own Anywhere chair or just order him a cover and use the same inside as Alex's, which has been in our room for 6 months? Tricky because Alex hasn't used it at all but you know the minute Si has one he'll want his back!
I would get him his own because you know as soon as Alex sees it he will want his again.

3. If you were going to buy a great pair of fall boots today, would you get black or brown? Hmmm...tough. Normally I would say brown. But, I really need a pair of black boots to go with my leggings!
4. If you were going on a date night on Thursday for your birthday would you go to an old standby that's your fave or try something new? Depends on how long it's been since I've been to my old standby. If it were my birthday, I'd go to my favorite restaurant, which we haven't been to in about 2 months.
5. Are you off work on Friday? (Are we EVER truly off work?) Sorta kinda. No kids, but it is not a union paid holiday, so I still have to go in for some sort of in-service deal.

I'd just get a Simon a cover and, if it looks like Alex wants when, pick one up. Unless you're trying to score that deal someone posted earlier. In which case I might get another one!1.
