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!!

Mission Accomplished

I used almost every procrastination tool that I had, to avoid having to clean my work area today.

I prepared a beef casserole in the slow cooker. I made up a big batch of spaghetti bolognese sauce. I did two loads of washing. I did some ironing. I cleared out some clothes from my wardrobe (a whole garbage bag full).

Eventually, I worked for two hours in my work area. Then I had to ride to the butchers to pick up some meat that I had ordered in the morning. I bought a coffee while I was there. When I returned I spent another two hours in my work space.

Finally, it was finished! The 'before' and 'after' shots as promised.


I have to say that I am well and truly done for the day! I think I'll sleep well tonight.

Adoring Husband spent the day on Fraser Island doing SES 'stuff' and took this photo as a storm cloud passed near the beach ...


... how amazing to see a water spout form right before your eyes! Apparently there was another one off to the right of this. It's a shame that all he had was the phone to get the shot.

I have another big day planned for tomorrow. A bit more cooking and a bit more decluttering. So I'm off to bed to wind down with a bit of meditation before sleep.

Nite all.
