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 160 in a Year of my Life.

Having a fabulous time.  Taken heaps of photos!  Met lots of people.  Drank two bottles of wine and ate the teeniest, tiniest dinner ... two fresh prawns, one slice of smoked salmon, four cubes of beetroot, 4 cubes of capsicum jello vinaigrette and a couple of lettuce leaves = $22.00.  The wine dulled the pain though :)

Today I am grateful for laughing hard enough to get cramps in the ribs and have tears streaming down the cheeks.

The Nikonian is sleeping so soundly .. no movement and no sounds ... I think I need to nudge her to see if she is still breathing!

She is ... whew!

Nite all.
