Yeah this about as solid as it gets. On the board… stupid hair appointments at 11am…

Beamed.
Rare that my guess after just seeing the prompt turned out to be correct. I don't think I'm fast enough to ever solve properly and get the badge @docison got this week (congrats, btw!), so I'll have to continue honing my guessing skill.
First things first, though...get that "10" badge!!

Congratulations Adam! Interesting to see that in one week EA went from the most amazing solve ever to the most amazing miss ever. Fame is such a fleeting thing.

Right now I'm the baby in Hi & Lois, waiting for the beam to shine through the window.
EDIT: Am I Trixie? Why yes, I appear to be...
Nice week 1 and a 100%er (and it actually was what my pre-solve guess was), although there's one element I'm not clear on...

I was kind of jealous...last week, at a coffee shop in or around Disneyland, my wife ordered a special cold brew drink...it came topped with cream and cocoa puffs.

Beam me up. Week 1- my specialty!
“if you’ve always wanted to see a shimmering blue body of water in the forest”, come on up to my house. Our farm pond at the end of the property.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet stuff in general, but I do love my sugary cereals. I recently treated myself to a box of Cap'n Crunch Oops! All Berries. It was worth any time it shaved off my life. My current favorite is Dunkin Donuts Caramel Macchiato cereal.

Beamed. Week 1 is better timing for being out of town than last week was.

A true week 1. Beam me up!
My pre-solve guess was different so glad I worked it through.

Got it, plus I learned that I could click my name on Matt’s leaderboard to see merit badges…

I completely disagree about 68A! Awful! And 32D answer is not exactly correct anymore. But the answer was my favorite two-word school supply and something I still use, unlike several of the one-word school supplies that came in the box. Do kids still use this stuff, or is there an app?

Sitting in an airport waiting for our plane so I had time to look at this on the phone. Had it been anything but a wk 1 or2 I’d probably have been out of luck, but once I solved and thought about it s bit it came quick. Not confirmed but pretty darn sure, next week will be a different story since we will be vacationing and that does not include me doing puzzles I am told.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

That was my breakfast this morning.
Too peanut buttery for me.
