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!!

Study Harder!

I decided to make a lamb roast for lunch today, so my studies got put off til quite late this afternoon.  I did squeeze a couple of hours in and then I looked at how much I still have to do in the few short weeks left in this semester and was shocked!  I really need to push myself harder.

I found this interesting little chart that I thought I would share.  You think your morning yoghurt is good for you ... but not necessarily!  Try to avoid the ones with too much sugar.


I'm pretty sure that most of you will be able to relate to this quote ...


... and for number 32 of my #100happydays photo ...


Happiness is browsing/window shopping on the net without spending any money :)

Got a big day of shopping tomorrow, so I'd best go get some restful sleep.

Nite all.
