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!!

Carbs

The Carbs are going to get me!  Yes!  After another 4 hours of study today, I'm still not done with Carbs!  I didn't like Carbs before I started this course, and I certainly haven't changed my mind since!

I watched a lot of tennis last night .. including the Australian, Nick Kyrgios, who had lost the first two sets when I was writing here, but who came back to win a long 5 set match.  It was epic and a most enjoyable, if not frustrating match to watch.

I didn't get to bed until after 1.30am by which time Lleyton Hewitt had not started his match.  When I woke this morning, he had played one and a half sets before bad light ended play, so I get to see the end of it tonight .. if I can stay awake that long.

There is a lady's match on first, which is almost over, but unfortunately for me, I have a pair of matchsticks holding my eyes open and I really don't think I have the stamina to stay awake much longer.

So I have nothing new to share.  No photos.  No quotes.  I think I'll go to bed and put the TV onto the tennis channel and fall asleep in the comfort and snuggling warmth of my lovely bed.

Nite all.
