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!!

Take a Bow

For some reason, I was sure that compared to the last three years, sales for this July were down by a LOT.

It was just a feeling. A niggling feeling all month long.

So when I did the numbers this afternoon and made the comparisons to previous years, I was genuinely shocked to see that this was my best July ever!

By a long way!

So I’m very happy with this outcome and I’ve learned to not make assumptions in the future, based on ‘feelings’.

Today was another great day for sales.

There were lots of happy people out and about so it felt like a real social morning for me even though I didn’t personally know any of them. There was lots of laughing and joking and teasing happening.

There were even last minute shoppers as we were closing the doors.

When we arrived home, it was nice to sit down and watch the olympics and see some live action.

I cooked up a big batch of butter chicken with cauliflower rice for dinner.

Adoring Husband killed a favourite plant of mine so today he snuck into town and purchased a replacement …

She’s a beauty and I’m going to give her a name when the right one comes to me.

I just looked at the time and I can’t believe it’s well after midnight already!

Time to sleep.




Nite all.
