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!!

Happiness is ...

Happiness is definitely spending time with my little Chicklet.  The 'warm and fuzzies' just envelop my heart so many times in one day, it's overwhelming.

She's so cute and precious and cheeky and funny and smart and endearing and loveable and curious and hungry for knowledge and imaginative and creative and intense and amazing and perfect that I just want to hug her and squeeze her and love her to pieces!

Can you tell that I've had a great day with her?

We bought a new stretchy rubbery frog this morning and a squeezy dinosaur to add to the toy collection and we played on the bottom step with little rubber duckies and silver chain for hours.

We pretended that the furry blanket was a pond and we lined the pond creatures around the outer edges while Chicklet pretended to splash and swim and paddle around the pond.

In between that I baked a chicken and then made chicken stock.  Vegan Chickie made a DELICIOUS Minestrone Soup in the slow cooker and we ate that for dinner tonight.

So all in all, a pretty productive day for everyone!

I had a great sleep last night and I hope to emulate that tonight, so ...

Nite all.
