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!!

Efficiently Productive

I’ve had an efficiently productive Monday.

I woke at 6am (again) and spent 2 hours watching YouTube videos of MAKEOVERGUY giving old women makeovers. Very efficiently productive ✔️

I logged into two supplier websites and filled my shopping carts with stock that I want to purchase next week. Very efficiently productive ✔️

I checked and deleted a bunch of emails. Very efficiently productive ✔️

I changed from my pyjamas to swimmers and stepped into the pool. I did some stretching, swam some laps, tried some water dancing and exercising, then sat under the Bali hut for an hour, listening to music and playing Words With Friends. Very efficiently productive ✔️

I reheated last night’s leftovers for lunch. Very efficiently productive ✔️

Adoring Husband and I drove to the shop, picked up the mail, cleared away all the art paraphernalia, put away the big tables, set up the medium tables for journaling on Tuesday arvo and set up the small table for morning coffee with the girls. Very efficiently productive ✔️

I returned home and almost finished painting the art piece that I’ve been working on. Just a few finishing touches tomorrow and it will be done. Very efficiently productive ✔️

Barbecued Porterhouse steak with salad and hash browns for dinner. Very efficiently productive ✔️

A fluffy movie on Netflix and time for bed. Very efficiently productive ✔️


Nite all.
