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!!

Tricked

Adoring Husband tricked me into getting out of bed for a swim this morning.

When I reached the pool, the conditions were gale force and the water was a little on the cool side, so I did an ‘about face’ and returned to bed for a couple of hours.

I did not get much from my ‘to do’ list done today.

I got some washing done, had a very brief swim because the conditions really did not improve. My dressing table is still empty, my bathroom is still in need of a clean and my art is still waiting to be created.

My ‘to do’ list will still be there tomorrow.

I bathed psychotic dog Ruby and prepared a meal for Adoring Husband for dinner tonight, while I ate half a fresh pineapple. It was so sweet and juicy!

Now, it’s not even 8.30pm and I’m ready for bed.

All worn out from doing nothing much at all.



Nite all.
