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!!

Reasonably Restful

The Art of Being Yourself - Caroline McHugh (26 minutes worth watching)



I was artfully being “me” in bed for most of the day!

I woke at 7am and left the bed at 2pm.

During that time I

  • edited a png image to help with my signage
  • created a new PayPal account for the business
  • changed both the Facebook and Instagram pages to reflect the new business
  • created a google business page (which can’t be verified until tomorrow)
  • finished all the artwork for my signage via Vistaprint but their server was too busy to allow me to finalise the order.

Whew! That’s pretty good going for a lazy Sunday!

I did a lamb roast for dinner, watched the footy and then Big Brother. Now I’m in bed with my sleepy tea beside my sleepy husband, who built a kitchen bench for the shop this morning and bought me a laminator while he was in The Bay!

Tomorrow I will put the shop stuff away for the day, do some washing, change the bedding and then focus on some self care. A peaceful afternoon of meditation and perhaps some hooping, maybe some art? I’ll see how I feel because rain has been forecast, so it might be a snuggle in bed with a good book kind of day.


I’m feeling quite weary now, so it’s sleepy time for me.

Nite all.
