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!!

Something New

A quick and easy Friday night post of my favourite quotes found in facebook this week.






... and just because it's Halloween. I am totally against Halloween, which is an American tradition that Australian business and media have cashed in on ...



Last year, we were not at all prepared for Halloween and had to turn away children knocking on our door. This year, I bought some sugar filled crap to dish out to them, which really goes against the grain. Next year, if I'm on the ball, I can make some healthful sweets and cakes to hand out instead!

Nite all.

PS Just want to acknowledge Jamie's birthday. He would have been 36 today.
