Today’s questions are a little introspective, but I like ’em. Have fun!
{1} Which activities make you lose track of time?
Video gaming used to be one. When I was in my early-mid twenties, I would go to my boyfriend’s apartment and we’d play Diablo II until 6 AM then go home and sleep. These days, only if I am really interested in a subject and am doing research on the net or if I’m really intent on cleaning will I lose track of time entirely. (Below: Diablo 2 dungeon)
{2} Is there such a thing as perfect?
I feel like there’s a point you can reach within yourself to feel like a moment is as perfect as it can or as you expected. But since perfect is such a subjective thing, then no. And in fact, I like imperfection.
{3} When do you feel most like yourself?
I was actually thinking this the other day because I had NOT been feeling “like myself” in quite a while. I suppose it’s a frame of mind when I know that the kids are all taken care of in most ways, my husband is happy, the house has some semblance of clean and I can sit down and do something I truly enjoy, like read a book. That moment, when I sit down on the couch to read, is probably when i feel most like myself.
{4} Describe your life in a 6 word sentence.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat!
{5} Share one of your most beloved childhood memory.
When I was somewhere between 8-11 or so, my grandfather and I would ride our bikes all over North Palm Beach. He was an avid biker and I could really keep up. I remember one specific morning when we rode down to a little park by the inlet and watched the waves crashing against the rocks, the early morning sun just beginning to silhouette the fishermen on the jetty. After, we braved a more high-traffic area to hit Dunkin Donuts. On our way home, we stopped by an ocean-side park and sat on a concrete bench, watching the sun rise out over the placid ocean glistening. Grandpa and I ate crullers and he let me have a sip of coffee. We sat in silence but enjoyed each others company completely.

I agree with when you on when you feel most you. I feel most me when I can sit down and have time to myself and know the boys are taken care of and I am able to just be me.
What a great memory of your grandpa.
Your memory is awesome. Such a beautiful moment.
Also, I liked your take on “perfection” – I’ve always thought the magic was in the imperfection. So true.
I’ve wondered about Diablo II. These days my old gaming desktop is obsolete though. Way to save me from myself. 🙂
Some parallels – my Papaw and I used to hit the dunkin donunts together. What is it about Grandfather stories that make me all mooshy?!? Your memory brings back lovely ones for me – thank you. 🙂
What a sweet memory of your grandpa! It melted my heart. I miss my grandpa. He’s been gone for 4 years now. Man what I wouldn’t give to spend one more day with him.
Thanks for linking up!!
Wow, I”m impressed by that game that you play! I am debating to get an Xbox or Wii and feel so behind on that technology.. not sure I could keep up! Thanks for linkin up with us!! I agree with your perfect answer!
aww so so so sweet about your grandpa.
love your 6 word sentence…funny.
thanks for linking up!!
That sounds like such a nice, peaceful memory with your Grandpa. i’m getting the idea that the peaceful moments are the ones you cherish, like sitting down with a good book. I love reading too.
I definitely lose track of time when I’m doing a cleaning project.
