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!!

It’s a Gift

What a beautiful day!




I posted these photos on my Facebook page and nobody notice the strange looking fin in the water (middle pic). I didn't notice it when I took the photo either!

We ate at Whale Bay Asian Cuisine.

The ladies lunches have been held at this restaurant a couple of times, but I was unable to attend, so this was our first experience there. They had good GF options and the atmosphere was lovely. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. We’ll return in the future.

Adoring Husband decided, on the way home, to stop at a bed sale.

Our current bed is 16 years old and AH’s side has such a bad slope, I'm surprised that he hasn't fallen out of bed yet!

So we found a really nice bedroom suite in a beachy style washed timber. It was 30% off and has a king bed frame with a bed head (I realised today that I have never in my life had a bed head!), two side tables and a tall boy. Then we selected a king sized mattress at 50% off.


There was no second guessing and it just felt right. It'll be about 6 weeks before we get it so that's plenty of time to clear out our bedroom, take the tree decal off the wall and wash the walls and remove my 600 pairs of shoes from the room.

See those big drawers at the end of the bed? Maybe my shoes will fit in there??? I may have to do some culling.

This afternoon we watched my team get annihilated by Parramatta in the biggest final's loss in NRL history. Shameful and embarrassing. 

I have a couple of ideas for some art tomorrow. I'm tempted to stay up late tonight and try one of them, but both will take a bit more time than my usual methods, so I need to be clear headed and well rested.

So, I'm off to bed now!

Nite all.
