Age Challenged rQQzy: Ideas Girl

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!!

Ideas Girl

I have some ideas for my next art projects.

One is an octopus - it may seem like I have done a lot of octopus art, but I’ve really only done four (and one of those was a gift) …

The other one is a seahorse underwater.

Some of the other art that I might attempt to sell at the art expo in June …

We’ll see how I feel on the day.

BGWLBH has LOTS of art to sell so it should be an interesting day to test our egos. I see the day as a way of catching up with lots of locals who I haven’t seen for a year or more so it doesn’t matter to me whether I sell anything but I hope that people buy BGWLBH’s beautiful art. I hope others love it as much as I do.

Meanwhile, we will continue to make art until 5th June!

Apart from it being a VERY cold start to the day (6°C) nothing out of the ordinary happened today.

I cooked a chicken and pineapple casserole for dinner and served it with lightly fried carrots sticks, beans and snow peas.

Time to sleep now.
