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 333 in a Year of my Life

No photos from today.  I did take some, but I haven't looked at them yet.

The highlight of my day was having a nap on the garden swing this afternoon.  It was very pleasant until a massive gust of wind almost blew the garden swing AND I over the fence!  That was most definitely a heart starter!

I made some gluten free, refined sugar free and lactose free chocolate brownies.  Delicious, but very very rich.  Adoring Husband only had one and didn't ask for more, so I take it that they weren't to his liking.  All the more for me!

I had a great night at the club with the girls tonight.  No luck on the pokies though.  At least last week's win paid for my Christmas getaway with the girls in November.

Today I'm grateful to be living on the coast, away from the stifling heat that is making Spring almost unbearable for inland and central Queensland.  We complain about the constant wind, but the wind is keeping our temperatures down.  40C and higher inland.  Ugh!

Nite all.
