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!!

Journalistic

I purchased four new journals for myself today.

I do NOT need anymore journals.

These are the journals lining my bed head …


Three quarters of them are in use. I have more journals in the art studio, in my bedside drawer and now four more to find a home for.

We enjoyed our time in Office Works, but I had to consciously restrain myself. So many lovely things - pens, art books, paint brushes, paints, journals, candles, cups, folders, stickers, containers, desk top goodies etc etc etc.

Petbarn is another favourite place. So many toys and balls and goodies for Harley. I selected 2 packs of his favourite liver treats and some bone shaped chicken biscuits today.

No toys because it took him ten minutes to destroy the stuffed shark I bought last week and three days to almost destroy the frog. Most of the stuffing has been pulled out, one eye is chewed off and I think all four feet are missing.

The only thing left is the knotted rope, which I haven’t given him yet. It’s currently protected in the family room cupboard drawer.

After more browsing and shopping, our last errand was a Coles run.

The weather fluctuated between soft mist, drizzle and heavy showers all day. It was very grey and gloomy and too wet for Harley play this afternoon.

I cooked crispy skinned salmon for Adoring Husband, served with a salad and a scoop of tuna pasta mornay. BGWLBH had the tuna and salad and I had a little bit of everything.

MAFS night!

Time for sleep now.







Nite all.
