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 61 in a Year of my Life

The best our town has to offer ...


People have already started to dismantle their Christmas lights and it's only two days after Christmas!

We drove into The Bay today and braved the after christmas 'sale' crowds.  It was hectic and chaotic but I still got some shopping in and even managed to nab a few bargains.

My wardrobe is now pretty much complete for Summer but I'll have to cull a few more items out of my cupboards to make room for the new outfits.

Today I am shallowly (is that a word?) grateful for after Christmas sales - not so grateful for the crowds that I have to wade through to get to the sales - but grateful for the savings!

Today, we received a lovely gift in the mail from my brother and his 'non' girlfriend.  They sent us a beautiful hanging crystal with turquoise and silver beads.  I'm yet to find the perfect position for it, but I must phone tomorrow and thank her (my brother never sends gifts for any occasion, so I know it's Charlie Chuckles who I should thank).

So, Christmas is over and we are heading rapidly towards 2013.

How quickly 2012 has passed.  The older we get, the faster the years seems to speed by.  **sigh**

Nite all.
