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!!

Quick Hello

It's late and there is not much to tell about today.

Coffee with the girls this morning and then The Motivator and I sat down and ordered some clothes, hats and bags to sell in the shop.

We met with the man who does pyrography on cheese boards, bread boards and lazy Susans but declined his request for us to sell his goods in the shop.

His work is very good, but we would then be in competition with Burrum Traders and we try to avoid that when possible. I purchased a lazy Susan from him on the spot and we'll display his business card in the shop.

He and his wife were lovely people.

Tonight I've booked some accommodation on the Sunshine Coast for Friday night so that The Motivator and I won't be driving for 4 hours to Brisbane, attending a seminar for a couple of hours, stopping at IKEA and then driving 4 hours home all in one hit.

We'll leave early on Saturday morning to reach home before 9am and open the shop.

Now I need to sleep. My intention was to attend meditation in the morning but I think I'll stay at home and have a lazy morning. I'd like to spend the day at home.



Enough of this frivolity.

Nite all.
