Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for November 4, 2005

1. What do you typically have for breakfast? And what about on those mornings when you're being bad?: Some sort of whole grain cereal, like Kashi's GoLean Crunch or Kellog's Frosted Mini Wheats. I occasionally have leftovers, like sweet potatoes, pizza, or pasta for breakfast. And cake. If there's cake in the house, I have to have some for breakfast.
2. What is your favorite cereal?: I'm a big fan of Mother's Peanut Butter Bumpers and Honey Graham Life.
3. Do you wait patiently for the cereal prize to tumble out of the box or do you start digging the moment the box is opened?: I wait until the box is mostly empty, then allow myself to dig a little bit. Granted, I don't often buy cereal that has prizes in it.
4. What time is your alarm clock set for? When do you actually get out of bed?: It's set for 7 a.m. and lately, I've been getting out of bed at that time too. I used to lay around waiting for the second alarm (7:30 a.m.) but decided I'd rather spend that extra time eating breakfast and watching NECN's morning newscast.
5. Do you have any tips or tricks for saving time or preventing stress in the mornings?: Put all of the things you need to remember to bring to work in the morning near the door as soon as you think of them. As I'm getting ready I tend to add more things to the pile, like my purse and coat.
