Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Early night

Even though I jokingly harassed Vegan Chickie about having more kids, I would like to announce that I don't think I would have the energy for two Chicklets!

Vegan Chickie will be snorting in her tea right now and thinking to herself "how does she think I feel dealing with this little ball of energy 24/7??"

Well I absolutely adored having them here for just under 48 hours and I loved spending time with my precious little Chicklet.

You have no idea how controlled I am - I could rave on and on and on about how amazing that child is ... probably worse than the average grandparent, but I know how annoying some grandparents can be when it comes to their grandkids, so I control myself.

You're welcome :D

Instead I will pummel you with photos ...






Adoring Husband will be home tomorrow, hopefully with a gozillion photos of his own little granddaughter with whom he spent the weekend, learning how to be a 'poppy'.

I hope I get to share some photos of her here tomorrow.

For now, I am taking my exhausted little self to bed.

Nite all.
