Wayne’s Word – engrossed

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is ENGROSSED.

Meaning:

So focused or absorbed in something that you ignore everything else around you.

Example:

He was completely engrossed in his book and didn’t hear the phone ring.

For me this morning, I was so engrossed in reading people’s blog posts that I missed my train stop. This is not the first time this has happened and I was aware it could happen, yet I still missed my stop!!!! Grrrr, I’m also not used to taking the train to work anymore. Ok no more blogging this morning!

See you later.
