Age Challenged rQQzy: Missed It

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!!

Missed It

Due to the fact that BGWLBH and I drove in to The Bay at 8am, I missed watching the important tennis match between Popyrin and Tiafoe.

With the disappointing result of the Aussie losing, I’m kinda glad I did miss it.

We arrived in town early so we found a coffee shop on the Esplanade and drank DELICIOUS coffee while watching the world go by. Nicest coffee in the Bay.

I dropped off four watches to the specialist watch jeweller in Pialba while BGWLBH attended her nail salon appointment.

I cashed in my lotto winnings and bought fresh tickets for this week.

I bought clothes!

I bought meat.

I bought food.

We got our usual juice and carrot cake.

Upon returning home, I played with Harley, after which I cooked a whole chook and a vegetable frittata using the leftover roast veggies from last night. I also made a garden salad. It was all pretty yummy.

We played trivia for an hour and Adoring Husband and I watched The Voice - although he took an early mark and went to bed 30 minutes after it started.

He’d had a big day mowing the back yard.

I’m feeling pretty weary myself now, so it’s off to sleep for me.
