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!!

Who Am I?

Adoring Husband had an appointment in the Bay for an eye test this morning - a test that required eye drops and a driver - because he wasn’t allowed to drive afterwards.

His driver was BGWLBH and I stayed at home with Harley.

They left at 7.30am and I took Harley out to play for an hour before clearing out the fridge and giving it a full clean. It took me two hours to do the fridge and clear off the kitchen bench.

I removed some of the appliances that I had lined up on the bench for the last year, as well as the kombucha jug and stand and I sorted through the multitude of different teas on the bench. Now there is a coffee machine, the blender, the tins of tea that we use every day and the mini compost bin.

We have a very long kitchen bench.

The others arrived home and we began preparing for my art day tomorrow.

We set up the tables in the same configuration as when I had art classes in the shop - now under the new carport, covered them with the plastic table protectors, set up the new easels, lay out the canvases, found water paints, tubs of posca pens, paint brushes, tubs and jars for water and other bits and pieces.

There should be eight people and luckily I have eight chairs!

I have no idea what art I want to do yet but I do my best work under pressure.

I napped on the couch this afternoon during my quiz shows and watched my beloved Broncos win the footy tonight.

Now I need to sleep because it’s almost midnight. Tomorrow will be a big day!








Nite all.
