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!!

All Planned Out

I had morning coffee with the girls and caught up with Mrs Bucket who then, when she left, got caught in the rain and returned to the shop just a little bit damp and who eventually got a lift with Adoring Husband and I, also joined by Woman of Many Talents who had also got caught in the rain!

It was a noisy morning in the back room and everyone looked through the 'pre-loved' and the 'new' clothing that had been partially sorted through and filled the tables, not yet displayed in the shop.

Everyone was gone well before 11am and AH picked us up, dropping the girls off at their houses.

We missed The Brains Trust this morning.

We realised that we needed some food in the house for lunch so we returned to the supermarket and did a quick shop.

AH made lunch - ham, tomato and cheese melts.

We watched a couple of recorded shows from the night before and I had planned on doing some art, but just didn't seem to get to it.

At around 4pm Vegan Chickie phoned and we chatted for 90 minutes. By that time, it was too late to cook the pork ribs that we'd planned, so I ate three mandarins, a handful of crisps and a coconut ice block. Very healthful ... ok just a little bit healthful.

It's now almost 8pm and I think I'd like to go to bed.

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to attend the lady's lunch, but I'm not feeling very motivated about it and I may just withdraw. I'll see how I feel in the morning.





Nite all.
