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!!

Day 30 in a Year of my Life

Photo-free day today - not by choice - just nothing of interest to photograph and it was a bright hot sunny day with bad light.

We drove to Golden Beach where we found a nice little cafe for breakfast, then we headed for Glasshouse Mountains and up to the lookout for a very disappointing view.

We took a few side streets along the way to sticky beak at some out of the way places, but nothing that piqued our interest.

On the way home, we decided to stop at the cinemas and we watched Breaking Dawn Part 2.  It was my second time and I enjoyed it just as much as the first :D

To get back to the car, we had to walk through Sunshine Plaza, so we happened to come across a little stall in the middle of the centre where I picked up some gifts for Aussie H and myself :D

We arrived home in time to watch the last half hour of the cricket on TV.  It was a nail biter of a finish, but the game ended in a draw.

Adoring Husband is now cooking dinner and I think I am going to have a very early night.

I've been up since 5am and it has well and truly caught up with me.

Today, I am grateful for Adoring Husband's ability to make a quick, healthy dinner and then serve it with a smile, when I am feeling too tired to do much of anything.

Nite all.
