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!!

Go to Woe

This was my day ...

  • Opened the shop
  • Checked the mail
  • Set up the tables for art on Saturday (with Adoring Husband’s help)
  • Drew diagrams and instructions on the whiteboard for art class
  • Lay out the rotating tables (lazy Susans) at each place setting
  • Gathered all the tools for each place setting
  • Assigned a canvas at each setting
  • Served customers ... all day
  • Mixed 2 small containers of paint for each colour and lay them along the centre of the table
  • Wrote out a ‘to do’ list for what still needs to be done before Saturday morning
  • Cleaned my paint mixing mess and tidied the room
  • Came home and checked all the food that came with our first Coles delivery
  • Sat on my butt for an hour
  • Gathered the newest paintings to take to the shop tomorrow
  • Cooked dinner
  • Made dessert
  • Folded clothes and put them away
  • Made the bed (a bit late)
  • Wrote this blogpost 
Now I’m off to bed to watch the footy.

I’m exhausted!






Nite all
