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!!

I Remembered!

I remembered to take a photo of the carport!


Even though I was out of bed before 9am, the day was not the slightest bit productive.

I made breakfast and sat by the pool. After an hour I lay down in the sun and watched BGWLBH doing manual labour in the garden for a while. Once she’d finished I decided to meditate and even did a mini ‘journey’ on myself. 

Three hours later, we decided to make lunch. Wafer crackers with cheese, tomato, pickled onion, radish slivers and guacamole.

We played trivia all afternoon. I even left the full FROG box on the kitchen bench and forgot to go pick up my sand crabs from The Motivator!

It was after 3pm when Adoring Husband drove me to pick up the mail and the crabs.

I made a tuna mornay for dinner and emptied the FROG box, cleared some old stuff out of the fridge, cut up some mango cheeks to freeze and made myself a banana split for dessert. The others declined.

We played more trivia and watched Beauty and the Geek.

My painted table is still not dry and it has been four days! This cooler weather is certainly slowing the process down.

It’s not even 10.30pm and I’m ready to sleep. I had a restless night so I need to catch up. There is an icy breeze coming through the window so I can snuggle down under the covers and enjoy my sleep.

Nite all.
