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!!

Frantic Friday

There are so many people in town!

It was so busy today that I didn’t finish steaming the new clothes and I began that chore just after I vacuumed the floors first thing in the morning!

I paid my rent early and spoke to a new rep who emailed some catalogues which included a new jewellery line and some other great gift ideas, made contact with one of my ladies who’s hats I have on consignment so that I could pay her, arranged for one of my artists (also on consignment) to pick up his art and I made a LONG ‘to do’ list for next week.

This is my fourth August in business and before it’s even over, it’s the best August yet for sales. I’m very happy about that.

With a combination of the emotional distress from the loss of Ruby and Jack and the busy workload at the shop over the last two weeks, I’m feeling fairly drained and I’m looking forward to a weekend of rest and relaxation.

I’ve also been working on the first lesson of the journaling class and doing printouts ready for Tuesday.

I had to order more coat hangers to accommodate all of my new pants!

I’ve planned the next art lesson for 5th September.

I’m beginning to feel far too efficient for my own good!

My only concern at this moment in time, is getting my ‘Roz’s Happy Place’ newsletter finished and sent out by Monday. I have all the ideas for content but haven’t started creating it yet.

If I don’t sign off here, it’ll be midnight before I know it so ...




Nite all.
