Monday Mission:
posted just a wee bit earlier this time. :)
1. My Grandmother makes the best pun'kin pie (my fave pie, btw), and anyone else's is just not the same. What dish/dessert does someone make that has spoiled you on all others who attempt to make it?
That would have to be the chocolate cake that an old flatmates of mine mother use to make. I haven't yet found it's equal, it was rich, moist and filled with chocolate yumminess. I think she used chocolate pudding in her recipe but am an not sure.
2. What was that last argument about, the one where you got so upset and said all those things?
There was one with my mom a while back when. A few things needed to be said, and now that they have we have gained a better understanding of each other.
3. For me, I can't start the day without a shower. It is my peaceful time of the day, and it is my "coffee." Until someone bangs on the door saying "save some hot water for me!" What is the one thing you do for yourself that is personal and relaxing, and can be totally ruined if you are interrupted.
Sitting by any body of water, in the city that would be the fountain in the park in the woods that would be near a lake perched on a rock. I find water to be a very calming medium. Just sitting watching the sunlight play on the water, watching as ripples form and disperse centers me somehow. If I can't find a fountain a bath is the next best thing.
4. Who is one person you can always count on?
I am quite lucky because there are a few people who I can count on. Hugin, my mom and dad, my siblings and a few very close friends who have been there throughout.
5. Have you ever thought it couldn't get any worse, and then it does?
Yes.
6. When was the last time you used (or were told) the line "I love you, but I'm not in love with you."
A while back and it hurt so very much to say.
7. This is a great table you found, right on the patio overlooking the water. The sun is setting and the reflection looks amazing. Time almost stands still and all worries are gone. For just a moment, everything is perfect. When was the last time you had that a feeling like that?
Sitting by a fountain with Hugin.
BONUS: If I could be like that, what would I do?
Nope, no flashes of insight here.
