Age Challenged rQQzy: Happy Christmas

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!!

Happy Christmas

A quiet, peaceful Christmas for we three (4 counting Harley).

A couple of my gifts …

I enjoyed three phone calls (one was a FaceTime) with my kids and they are all doing very well.

There was plenty of good food, me lazing in front of the telly while Adoring Husband set up his new dart board under the carport and tomorrow he’ll be using his new chainsaw in the garden while I drink tea out of my new Border Collie mug.

My tummy was a little better by this afternoon so I could comfortably eat dinner.

We played trivia after dinner and I watched Die Hard while AH slept in his chair.

Not a lot different to any other day really.

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and made happy memories with your families.
