I'm looking forward to a girly weekend in Brisvegas.
I'm a bit concerned about the weather though. There is nasty weather heading in that direction right now and I hope that it has passed by the time we get there.
This trip has been planned for about 4 months and we are all looking forward to it.
I'm taking my camera and a couple of us are going to wear comfortable shoes and really look around at what the city has to offer, by foot. I'm a bit excited about that.
There are twelve of us and I think that we all have a different idea of how we want to spend the time.
It should be a little therapeutic for us all - to get away and debrief a bit over our mutual trauma.
Anyway, lots more rain today and threats of gale force winds which haven't eventuated as yet. Fingers crossed that the winds steer clear of us.
I played with a couple of old photos ...
Not brilliant but a bit of fun.
Today I'm grateful for the opportunity to get away for a few days, do some girly stuff and forget about the problems in my world for just a little while.
Big day tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
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!!
