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!!

Weekend Already?

The neighbours across the road decided to party until after 2am and played their music loud enough for us all to dance along.

Considering how loudly they complain about barking dogs in the neighbourhood, I’m surprised by their arrogant hypocracy.

Needless to say, it was a very late night for me.

To top it off, Adoring Husband decided to watch the “replay” of the US Open Golf on the TV in the lounge room, which is outside my bedroom and sat in the chair coughing from 6am!

Not happy Jan.

If it wasn’t so cold, I’d have got out of bed and punched him in the throat!

Today, I’ve been running on less than 4 hours of sleep.

I had 4 hours in The Bay and got myself some fresh baked sour dough bread and kangaroo salami from the Torq Deli.

At Go Natural, I found some coconut milk kefir, organic garlic paste, organic chick peas, spinach and feta GF ravioli, beetroot dip and a couple of other things.

I bought 3 sand crabs which I shelled as soon as I got home and made a sandwich with the fresh sourdough - YUM - and some raw prawn cutlets to crumb for tomorrow night’s “fend for yourself” dinner.

New lotto tickets, fresh bread rolls, some groceries and some Su Jus.

A few crazies on the road with plenty driving in front of us and cutting us off from side streets and driveways.

This afternoon, after I took Harley out to play, I climbed onto my bed and pulled my State of Origin blanket over me. It was quite chilly!

I didn’t need any dinner after my crab sanger so I stayed in my room.

The neighbours are quiet and it’s not so cold now.

A good time to sleep.







Nite all.
