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!!

Unstructured

That's what my days are .. unstructured .. and I need to take a leaf out of Vegan Chickie's book and become more structured with my days. She DID give me a daily planner, so that I could organise my days in a more productive way .. but I am incapable of even organising my organiser!!

Today, I spent an hour at the Seat of Knowledge and planned on studying as soon as I arrived home, but I realised that Adoring Husband had to attend a meeting tonight and wouldn't be here for dinner, so instead of studying, I searched for recipes to cook for lunch as a main meal.

Then, I spent an hour cooking a leg of lamb with roasted vegetables and creamy garlic chard with a rich wine gravy.

I procrastinated for the afternoon and achieved absolutely nothing.

Adoring Husband found this little visitor in the back garden today and I wasted some time with the camera ... although, really, time with the camera is never wasted is it!?


The lovely Grannymus shared a beautiful slideshow of reflective photography, and I have tried to upload it, to no avail, so unfortunately I can't share it with you.

... and I really liked these quotes in Facebook today...




Let's hope that I can find some motivation tomorrow to get cracking with the final two weeks of study!

Nite all.
