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!!

Worked It

A day of house cleaning.

Checklist:

  • 2 x bathrooms
  • 2 x toilets
  • Front porch cleaned
  • Front door washed
  • Entry Hall dusted and mopped
  • Hallway and laundry mopped
  • TV cabinet dusted
  • 4 loads of washing
  • Plants watered
  • Chocolate Cupcakes baked and iced
  • Almost 3,000 emails deleted
  • Dinner Cooked
  • Body hurting very much due to working in bare feet on floor tiles. Ugh!
That's only half of what needs to be done. I'm hoping that I will wake tomorrow with equal motivation so that I can finish the other half of the house.

I just need to order my coffee early .. if Adoring Husband can bring me my coffee in bed, the way he did this morning, then I can jump out of bed with vim and vigour and zip through the rest of the work with a flourish!

It's 11pm and time to climb into bed for some rejuvenating sleep.

Nite all.
