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!!

List Complete

My original list is now complete.

I decluttered my wardrobe and completely cleared the floor area in it so that Adoring Husband has a safe space IF (and it's a big IF) the cyclone should raise it's ugly head in this area. He and Harley now have somewhere to go together, if necessary.

The vacuum head has packed it in, so I had to get on my hands and knees to vacuum the floor with the tiny pipe that the head slots into. Next time, I'll unpack the vacuum from the shop.

I couldn't make the lasagne because I didn't have one single solitary pasta sheet in the pantry. I couldn't believe it because I had about a dozen boxes at one stage! So I packaged up six Chinese containers with the spaghetti sauce and chucked them in the freezer.

I made banana bread and BGWLBH and I will take half of it with us to the Sunny Coast.

I've partially packed my suitcase, changed over to a different handbag, filled my travel beauty case and ticked the packed items off my list.

This is WAY too organised for ME!

My sister, Squirt, just experienced a 4.5 earthquake on Magnetic Island! She's freaking out! Let's hope there aren't any more to follow.

Now it's time to sleep so that I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the big drive tomorrow>






Nite all.
