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!!

The Waiting Game

Tonight I am sitting up waiting for my brother and his girl to arrive.  They are staying for a couple of days, but they won't arrive til late tonight.

Today, Adoring Husband ordered the new car.  A Suzuki Vitara.  We won't get it til the end of the month-ish, so it will be here by the time we go on our holiday.  For now, we wait.

I'm 99.9% certain that Adoring Husband still hasn't read my blog for quite some time, as his obsessions with the camper van and the car continue.  I say that because he hasn't made any comments about my digs over the past few days :D  So I wait.

Bit of a waiting game happening around here.

Waiting for Saturday when we are attending the annual Torbanlea Races.  We've been twice before, but this time I plan on using it for photography.  I'm not going to dress up for 'fashions in the field'.  I'm going to wear jeans and comfortable shoes and my cowboy hat and I am going to spend the day wandering around and getting some interesting photos.

I'm actually pretty excited about it!

Anyway little brother is arriving any minute - gotta go!

Nite all.
