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!!

Clearing Clutter

I got a little bit motivated today and cleaned out my walk-in wardrobe.

Adoring Husband took what remained of his ‘stuff’ out of the room which left space for me to store my excess ‘stuff’.

I allotted two hours for todays effort and if I still felt motivated after 2 hours, I could continue, otherwise I gave myself permission to stop.

You won’t be surprised to know that I stopped haha.

I tossed two shopping bags of rubbish and after I finished the wardrobe, I started on the bedside drawers. 

My bedroom currently looks like a lazy teenager lives in it, so there is still much to do.

Small steps.

Earlier this morning, BGWLBH and I drove out to Raintree Acres to pick up our 18 eggs that have been waiting to be collected for three days.

BGWLBH spent a good portion of the day doing art, but I didn’t take photos yet.

I caught up on some MasterChef episodes that I missed earlier in the week.

I enjoyed a brief nap on the couch and had a quick play with Harley - the weather being cool, wet and windy was not conducive to play so I appeased him with a short stint around the pool.

Adoring Husband cooked our usual spicy chicken wings for dinner and we watched the football - AH slept through most of it.

There is currently a lovely cool breeze coming through my bedroom window so I think I shall slide down under the covers and drift off to sleep.




Nite all.
