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!!

Had a couple of hours in the Bay before we picked up the FROG box and arrived home in time for a late lunch.

Harley play and quiz shows filled my afternoon and I didn’t have to cook dinner. BGWLBH was full of late lunch, Adoring Husband ate leftover curried chicken and I had melted cheese on toast.

I am feeling a bit weary so it’s sleep time for me.







Nite all.
