Age Challenged rQQzy: New Girl in Town

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!!

New Girl in Town

This arrived today …

Pretty happy about that!

It took 3 hours to export everything from my old laptop to this new one. I probably should have deleted a lot of crap from the old one first. Instead, I’m deleting it from the new laptop!

That’s how I spent my day - between a couple of loads of washing, a couple of plays with Harley and cooking an early dinner of snags with salad - I played with my new toy.

I’ve watched MAFS and now “Becoming Madonna”.

I was hoping to win $40million on Powerball, but it seems I’ll be winning $60million next week instead. This week, I won $31.45. It’s a start.

I think it’s time to sleep now.
