Age Challenged rQQzy: Catching Up

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!!

Catching Up

I had to catch up on some sleep today.

Staying up late to watch the tennis, takes its toll after a while, especially when you’re an old duck like me.

I prepared an early lunch for Adoring Husband and I, then Harley and I came to bed at 12.20pm and we slept until after 4pm!

We played in the rain (12mm today) for about 20 minutes before I came inside to prepare dinner.

My own creation of chicken thigh fillets, onion, paprika, white pepper, salt, bacon, penne pasta, chard from the garden, spicy home made pumpkin soup, burnt sage butter, toasted pine nuts and a dollop of sour cream. It was bloody nice!

No trivia tonight because there’s too much tennis to watch.

Both Aussies are putting up a good fight.

I’m still waiting for some motivation to kick in.
