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!!

A Tiny Spark

I finally found a tiny spark of motivation today!

After a fabulous morning phone call, I decided to play around with some paint and canvas.



I felt very rusty because it has been more than seven weeks since I played with some paint.

I cleaned all the tools afterwards and while we waited for the chicken wings to cook in the oven, I decided to clear off the dining table. I had already cleared about a third of it when I decided to take this pic ...


Except Adoring Husband has now left a drill and some legal papers on the table, but it looks much better this evening...


I cleared the side table and the floor beside my lounge chair which was covered with books and paperwork, notes, business cards, essential oils, pens, jewellery, art, plastic containers, shoes - you name it! I didn’t take a ‘before’ and ‘after’ shot of that.

I got two loads of washing done, read the accountant’s paperwork and signed it and then watched some more Grey’s Anatomy until dinner time which consisted of lamb chops and salad.

I’m working tomorrow so it’s time for me to sleep. Comparatively speaking, I expended a lot of energy today so I’m feeling a little weary!

Happy hump day everybody!

Nite all.
