Most of the time, I wear contacts… but I do have glasses. I think I look great in them… but they can get in the way… at times.
So I should list the inappropriate things I’m good at? That wouldn’t be obnoxious? You can probably use your imagination…

I have a vivid imagination, lol. But no, it wouldn’t be obnoxious. We’re writers! This is our inspiration, after all. 🙂

But would the post expose the mystery? Because I think it sounds like lots of fun to detail what I’d like for breakfast… but that might kill the morning mystery.

Nah, we can simple it down.
It can be a guilty pleasure breakfast that we don’t get to partake of as much as we’d like to.
Personally, I wish like hell I could slam a couple McGriddles every morning, but with my morning run and my weekly sched, it ain’t happening.
So we can supply a guilty pleasure menu item.
With pics and recipes (Hint, mine is simple as all get out).

Ohhh… you mean breakfast food…?
No… I’m just kidding. Yes, food.
I have a few favorites. I have a weakness for donuts… maybe it’s regional… 🙂
My favorite breakfast that I cook is a little difficult to write as a recipe… I don’t measure anything. But it might be fun to try writing it up.
And of course, every breakfast has to come with lots of coffee. Even if it’s not 87 cents. 😛

And umm, if donuts are a regional weakness? I’m thankful I live on the right coast, lol.
I don’t measure either. Not unless I’m baking. Which is why I don’t bake much.
LOTS of coffee. At 87 cents-plus.

I’ve heard the word ‘naughty’ used to describe me many times. I should probably change my name.
I do live in the birthplace (okay, state… not the actual place) of Dunkin’ Donuts. Grandma and Grandpa got me hooked at a young age.
I love to bake. Unfortunately, I also love to eat what I’ve made.

Anyways, what WOULD you have named yourself. Personally I always disliked Marc growing up. Especially after my mom told me it was a choice between Marc or Michael. I was ALL about Michael.
Now? I dig Marc.

I don’t know what I would have named myself. I’m struggling with that right now, actually… because I want a pen name… that I may or may not ever use. I thought I’d stick with Sandra though… just need a last name. But ‘Sandra Naughty’ sounds weird. 🙂
My best friend in college was Mark… but with a k. My parents never told me of any other names they considered for me. Oh, but if I had been a boy… I would have been named after my Italian grandfather… Francesco. I’m glad I’m a girl. Surprised they didn’t go with Francesca… but if people called me Fran, I’d cry. That’s awful. (Crap… you don’t have anyone close to you with that name, do you? Awkward!)
