I thought I was stupid .. or going crazy .. because I couldn't find the study details on the 'study smart' site for my course.
I was beginning to feel a little disheartened, but today, much to my relief, the study details appeared and now I can see clearly what I need to do, and in what order to do it.
Whew!
Instead of getting straight into it, I procrastinated ...
I then experimented in the kitchen (surprise surprise).
Adoring Husband and I usually have pizzas for dinner on Saturday nights ... we put them together at half time, or between games on Super Saturday footy nights.
Now that our eating habits have changed, I have to find a tasty alternative to the old pizza bases that we used before.
I found a recipe that used coconut flour, eggs, sour cream and seasonings.
It wasn't bad, but I think I can do better.
That was our lunch.
We had rice paper wraps for dinner, with turkey mince, kale, coriander, lime, lemon, chilli and coconut milk. They were wrapped with julienned carrot, red capsicum, cucumber, mint, bean sprouts and spring onions.
They were nice but I put too much oil in the sweet chilli dipping sauce.
This has been my mantra all week ...
... and this is a message to Adoring Husband ...
I'm off to watch the second half of the last game footy for the night.
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!!
