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!!

Early to Bed

It's almost 8.30pm and I'm posting early so that I can head to bed.

I'm feeling very weary.

All this socialising and working and living and negotiating is wearing me out.

So there will be no photos tonight from the party, and no story telling about the party.

I came home reasonably early this afternoon, but Bubbles and BGWLBH were still out. They finally got to see the movie that we tried to get to yesterday. They enjoyed it very much.

We had a big nosh up of crispy skinned chicken, baked potato and sweet potato with a big salad for dinner. For dessert, Knight in Shining Armour made a Devil's Food Cake, but for some reason, even after an extra 20 minutes in the oven, it didn't completely cook in the centre.

He was very disappointed, but everybody loves gooey cake mix! I was happy with the outcome.

The Motivator offered me another day off tomorrow to spend with the kids, so we are all (except for BGWLBH) going to Maryborough to attend the markets and then go 10pin bowling.

We'll be leaving early in the morning, so I'm off to bed now.

Nite all.
