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!!

Made a List

Today has been busy and productive.

It started with coffee (tea for me) at the Lions Park with my art/meditation girls.

I rode my trike so I was able to go shopping after our meet up for everything I needed to prepare meals for Adoring Husband while I’m away.

I stopped at the butchers and the supermarket.

When I arrived home, AH had picked up the FROG box so I unpacked it before making ham, cheese and tomato toasties for our lunch.

I sat down for an hour to watch one of my quiz shows and I made my packing list while I watched TV.

BGWLBH decided to be my sous-chef and did a good job of chopping vegetables and picking produce from the garden for my big cook up.

Carrots, onions, mushrooms, beans, spinach, potato, sweet potato, garlic, ginger, green capsicum and chicken.

I made 2 x chicken cottage pies and 4 x chicken tikka curries. I cooked some sweet potato chips in the oven for dinner while AH cooked some snags on the barbecue and I served it all with fresh garden salad.

That took 2.5 hours in the kitchen and I was absolutely exhausted!

We sat down to play some trivia and then watched The Block.

I then took my list and started to pack my suitcase before conceding defeat and climbing into bed.

I’m done!

Tomorrow morning is going to be a bit hectic getting organised and packed but I’m looking forward to having some time out.

I’ve already selected our first stop in Gympie to visit a ladies shop in Mary Street. Clothes, shoes, bags and jewellery. I’ve never been there but found them on Facebook. Rubbing my hands with glee haha!

Time for me to sleep now.






Nite all.
