Age Challenged rQQzy: Tripping

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!!

Tripping

Tonight, as a test run, Harley is sleeping in Adoring Husband’s room.

BGWLBH and I plan on driving Bubbles back to Nambour on Tuesday and we have booked an apartment for two nights as a mini getaway.

Harley has always slept in my room so we thought we’d better have a test run before we go, to make sure our trip away would be problem free for Adoring Husband.

My room feels very empty and very quiet without my furry boy in here.

It sounds very quiet at the other end of the house, so I guess the test will be in the morning when AH goes to work at 4.30am.

Today, we did art and played trivia.

I made a trifle which took 2 hours. I’d prepared the jelly last night and did home made egg custard today, whipped the cream and baked butter cake as the base.

It wasn’t my best - next time I’ll do a double batch of custard.

MAFS tonight!

We are going to the movies tomorrow. I’d best get some sleep.
