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!!

Christmas Gifts

This evening, BGWLBH and I opened our Christmas gifts to each other.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to do so on Christmas Day or Boxing Day and then we wanted to wait until the stars aligned.

Today, they aligned.

Having received very generous gift vouchers from my two favourite shops - Tinkerbell’s and Office Works, I feel very spoilt and can’t wait to spend them! She knows me so well.

I did some more of my art today but forgot to take a pic.

Harley and I spent some time floating around the pool …

We played fetch a lot.

Adoring Husband spent a good portion of the day mowing lawns for work and at home.

Basic chicken and salads for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow we have nail salon appointments again (at a different salon) so let’s hope that goes more smoothly than last week!

It’s way past my sleep time now.





Nite all.
