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!!

Feeling Grateful

As grateful as I am for these busy school holidays and the accompanying big sales that go with them, I must say that I’m looking forward to some quieter time to sit in silence in the shop to listen to the voices in my head.

šŸ„“

We opened the shop early this morning so I spent some time cleaning the loo, tidying the kitchen, setting up a jug of water with cups on the table in preparation for the aromatherapy workshop and setting up the steamer with all the new clothes so that I could finish pricing and displaying them.

It was so busy, it literally took me all day to do the clothes ... and then I discovered two more tops in the bottom of the box just before we left.

Ugh.

It’s always so exciting to open a box of new clothes, but after a couple of hours steaming, the excitement begins to wane and the task seems never ending!

I still have an unopened box of stock in the change room that I hope to unpack tomorrow.

The first two hours of today had 8 people in the training room for an aromatherapy jewellery making workshop. There was lots of happy chatter floating out of the room but I didn’t get to participate because of all those pesky school holiday customers! Haha.


I paid my bills this afternoon and finished my newsletter which I plan on proof reading and sending out to my email list in the morning.

The training room needs to be set up tomorrow for Saturday’s art workshop. That shouldn’t take too long.

What a week.

Sunday is dangling before me like a carrot!


Sleep is calling my name.

Nite all.
