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!!

Quietly Does It

The day began with rain.

I was up before 8am - because Harley was freaking out in his bed and panting heavily and trying to drag the fencing between the dressing table and the end of the bed.

We discovered that Adoring Husband had tried to set the house on fire when he cooked the bacon in the griller and Harley is super sensitive to fire/heat/smoke. 

He knew that he needed to escape from the house ASAP!!

After I played with Harley, I spent some time working on my project (book/journals/cards) in bed.

I made a late breakfast, early lunch - toasted bacon, tomato and onion sandwich.

AH and I watched a couple of Foxtel movies. "Summer Camp" with Dianne Keaton and Kathy Bates. I'd rate it 3/5. "The Fabulous Four" with Susan Sarandon and Bette Midler also 3/5.

Harley and I rested in the bedroom for an hour before playtime.

Bangers and mash for dinner.

I switched between MAFS and Australian Idol tonight.

Now it's time to sleep because tomorrow is meditation day.






Nite all.
