Absolutely! Breakfast foods are my favorite and I remember even growing up with my mom sometimes making breakfast for dinner. I wish I could do the same more, by my husband prefers I not. Some breakfast meals take a bit of work and time, so I'd prefer them for lunch or dinner, as I'm a little tired and ultra hungry in the mornings, so can't manage too big of a project.

What is something you've been yearning for that would be possible to have if you just splurged a bit?

a new electronic keyboard maybe (one that could go in the living room and not be removed immediately, papa bear tends to be more of a minimalist in some ways than I am especially in that room)

have you ever had a ''room with a view'' (out onto mountains, sea etc or onto a pretty garden)?

Oh yeah. Sometimes if I want to do a big hike/ or a ski day up north I'll get a campground or a motel room and most everything up there has a view of something (mountains, rivers)

If you were a cat, what kind of toys would you like to play with?

A mini stuffed animal mouse with a bell attached and filled with catnip.

What is your favorite romantic movie?

If you were a cat where would your favorite place to zonk out be?

The downward dog position with my tongue hanging out and ruffing that I wanted to play fetch.

Are you a side sleeper, or back or stomach sleeper?

I don't really watch it per se, but The Voice. So many different versions all over the world and almost all of them post auditions on YouTube!

If you had to pick a fictional character to emulate, who would they be and why?

Anne of Green Gables because she had such a positive attitude and overcame so much to live a really happy life.

What is your favorite Halloween costume you have ever worn?

When I was working outside and sweating like a mofo it was watered down gatorade. These days I don't drink much that isn't water.

Can you whistle?

Officially, yes, but not that well or loudly. I never learned how to do the loud whistle that some people do by putting a couple fingers in their mouth. I only do a low volume puckered type and one where I put my tongue against my teeth with the tip pointing towards the roof of my mouth. I think part of the issue is that I am a gap-toothed gal. My gap oddly grew wider over the years, rather than narrower.

Do you have any unique distinguishing physical feature you're willing to share? However small or large.

Anisocoria. One of my pupils doesn't dilate properly, so when there's a quick light contrast, my eyes look noticeably different.

What's the coolest fact you know?

Not the coolest but something I did learn today: Americans use 14 million gallons of toothpaste annually

Did you ever cheat on a test in school?

I'm not sure, I think I might have copied an answer from my friend who was sitting next to me. In Chemistry maybe. The teacher used to talk about people with ''swivel eyes''...She wasn't angry I don't think. I'm sure I wasn't the only person who did that sometimes. In major tests I didn't cheat.

Favourite part of the day right now?

Chocolate candy bar? I guess one of the Ritter Sport chocolate bars that includes chopped hazelnuts. This isn't my favorite candy bar, though. I think I'd say that Almond Joys or Reese's Peanut Butter cups get that award from me, but it's more the coconut and almond in the former and the peanut butter in the latter that appeals to me most. I like chocolate, but am not as passionate about it as other people.

What is your favorite kind of sandwich?

(Same favorite sandwich btw) and my favorite way to cook potatoes is... to dig them out of the soil, not cook them, immediately hike a mountain, peel it with a swiss army knife at the summit, and eat it raw (to be done in moderation)

Favorite kind of doggo?

Golden lab/golden retriever. A mix of the 2 is perfect.

Can you change a tire?
