Weekly Poll

Greetings, loyal readers! Stephen and I took a little hiatus last week in order to spend time with each other and my family over the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time in Memphis with my parents (our new picture was taken in front of the Christmas tree / fireplace at their house), and I think we both kind of hated having to get back into the daily grind, but then, who didn't feel that way? I'm in the middle of grading a bunch of papers, and it's going ever-so-slowly and will more than likely result in little blogging from me for a while. Only 8 days of school left, though!

It appears that our readers would want to fly, if given a superpower. Flying is the option I selected, as I think it would be both enjoyable and convenient (unless the weather was bad). :)

For this week's poll, we're wondering how much of your Christmas shopping you've done. Are you completely finished? Do you have a few more gifts to buy, or have you not even started? Leave us a comment here and let us know who is the hardest person to buy for on your list. Happy voting!

Weekly Poll

It seems that the last poll ended in a tie, with Diet Coke and Cherry Coke both receiving four votes. Since Cherry Coke is my favorite, I'm declaring it the winner. Just kidding! We'll just call it a tie, I suppose.

As you may have noticed from the countdown, there are 56 days until Christmas! Thoughts of Christmas got me thinking about holidays in general, so I thought it appropriate to make this week's poll about favorite holidays.
