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!!

Fully Christmas

Today confirmed for me that Christmas is definitely in full swing!

It started out a little stressful when our Square Reader (which is basically our electronic cash register)  somehow logged us out and wouldn’t accept our password to get back in!

So The Motivator came in with her laptop and after making a couple of attempts to sign in herself,  then checking that no messages had come through regarding any known problems, she changed our password and all was right with our business world again. Thank goodness!

I didn’t get to spend much time with my girls for coffee because it was so busy in the shop and it stayed that way all day. Just a constant flow of people, all in with a purpose and feeling grateful that they didn’t have to drive into The Bay.

Great for us!

I got to mail the last of my Christmas gifts before the afternoon mail cutoff so I was pleased about that.

I still haven’t purchased my own gift to put under the tree yet.

I’m feeling decidedly weary now, and I am already in bed so it won’t take long for me to fall asleep.

Happy Hump Day!


Nite all.
