Age Challenged rQQzy: Cutting it Fine

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!!

Cutting it Fine

I still haven’t finished Christmas shopping.

Some small purchases were made today, but not enough.

There is still Monday and we plan on doing the markets on Saturday next week. Of course, there is always online shopping but the shipping time makes it a bit tight.

I feel a little bit stressed.

We did a little fruit and veg shopping, lotto, bread and fresh seafood.

There was not a lot of traffic and crowds were nonexistent, which surprised us because it’s so close to Christmas.

Still idiots on the road though.

It was “fend for yourself” night for dinner so I made myself crumbed prawn cutlets with a delicious dipping aioli.

Adoring Husband and I watched the cricket tonight and came to bed at 8.30pm.

Now I need to sleep.
