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!!

Getting My Art On

Adoring Husband helped me set up the tables for the art workshop on Saturday and then it took me three hours to put together each place setting.

That’s much less time than usual!

I had to mix up some more white paint, but other than that, it was an easy set up.

It was a slow day for sales. Lots of customers who all spent a little which didn’t add up to much, but each of them were friendly and chatty and brought good energy into the shop.

I got to say hello to quite a few doggies who waited outside for their owners. One tiny little black poodle didn’t like me though and warned me with a long low growl! So I left her in peace.

AH had put lamb shanks in the slow cooker so dinner required no effort from me tonight.

I’ve watched my current favourite show, The Bachelor, and I’m now watching my footy team put up a reasonable fight so far against the Panthers. I predict their ‘good fight’ will run out of puff shortly and they will eventually lose by a big margin. It’s definitely not their year.

On that note, I’m off to watch the rest of the game in bed. I had a solid 7.5 hours sleep last night and I’d like a repeat performance tonight if possible.

I expect a nice easy day tomorrow. I’ve found someone to clean at the shop starting next Tuesday, so I might just leave it for her and take it easy tomorrow.

That’s it. Short and sweet tonight.



Nite all.
