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!!

Christmas Eve

Vegan Chickie and I followed our tradition and watched "Love Actually" today (Christmas Eve).


We are rarely in the same room on Christmas Eve.  Sometimes, in different countries or different states and today, two and half hours apart, but we watched it together in our own homes, texting each other at our favourite, and our least favourite parts of the movie.

I love our tradition and always get excited in the days leading up to it.  The movie is one of my faves and I'm always left feeling happy after I watch it.

Tonight, Adoring Husband and I drove around town checking out the Christmas lights ...






Now, unusually so, I am watching, and enjoying "Carols by Candlelight" on tv.  It must be a sign that I'm getting old!

Merry Christmas everybody.  I hope that you have a safe and happy day with family or loved ones, or like Adoring Husband and I, quietly on your own.  We will be feasting on seafood and will enjoy just being together.  Feel the love :D

Nite all.
