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!!

I think it’s hilarious that some man out there (the one that wrote this) believes that he’s doing all of these things! There is not a man alive who is all of these things!

He’s right though … it’s what we women dream of haha.

I did some more to my art today …

Still a long way to go and most of these things that look finished, are not. I need some more pens, paint, brushes and different colours to finish off.

I sketched in some more shells and seaweed …


It gets a bit overwhelming sometimes, trying to figure out the composition and the colours, but I’ll get there eventually.

It’s been a quiet day. No more rain. No trips to The Bay.

Now it’s sleep time.





Nite all.
