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!!

About Me

I have spent most of today in my bedroom writing my "About Me" book.

Even though my neighbour across the street was very quiet last night, I still didn't get to sleep until 1am. I think I was just expecting Saturday night to be as loud or louder than the previous two nights so I psyched myself into it.

It was after 9am when I dragged myself out of bed. Harley was very patient.

We played for 30 minutes and after I gave him his treats, I made myself a pork sausage burger for brunch.

I watched some golf on TV with Adoring Husband and then decided to return to my bed to do some writing. I think I got almost 4 hours of writing before AH disturbed my peace asking what I was doing for dinner. It was 5.20pm so I reluctantly, and with some resentment, left my room to make dinner. 

It took me 30 minutes to prepare a green curry chicken with boiled rice.

We played trivia.

AH and I watched the 1% Club and both retired to bed early.

With the French Open Tennis on the TV in the background, I've spent the last 3 hours writing more in my book.

I feel a bit weary now, so I think I shall attempt sleep.




Nite all.
