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!!

Mentally Pushed

All of my girls were busy this morning and there was no coffee morning.

In 3.5 yrs, I’m pretty sure that has only happened once before.

It gave me an opportunity to get a few things done.

My trip to the post office netted three parcels which were NOT stock, but clothes that I’d ordered from three different online stores.

I bought this top in charcoal, navy and olive from Rubyyaya ...

I got these bootleg beauties from Exoticathletica ...


I purchased these crazy leggings from Natopia ...



The bottom pic is actually of full length leggings.

I have seven more items coming in the mail to complete my Winter wardrobe.

A couple of hours later, some new stock was delivered, but at the same time I was in a meeting organising digital advertising with a rep.

It was a really pleasant meeting and I really liked the rep a lot, but I was very focused on the task at hand and could not financially commit to the level of advertising that I really wanted so after some negotiating, we agreed on a different level with the option to upgrade later.

That was hard work for my brain and I felt a little drained by the end of the meeting.

I had to snap out of it pretty quickly because I had 15 minutes til the journaling class was to commence!

It was a great creative class which went by really fast.

Adoring Husband and I folded the tables and set up for meditation in the morning and took the easy way out for dinner (for me) and AH did his Friday night special for us.

It’s been a big day, and starting with meditation, tomorrow will also be huge because I’m expecting another delivery AND a rep will be visiting after lunch.

I guess that means I should go to bed and get some sleep!

But before I go, here is some of the art from the weekend workshop ...





Nite all.
