Age Challenged rQQzy: Productively Unproductive

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!!

Productively Unproductive

Today I did zip.

Out of bed at 9am.

Made my warm lemon water.

Played with Harley.

Made my breakfast and soursop tea.

Watched Canadian Pottery Throw Down, hosted by Seth Rogen. It’s a new series so only one episode was available, but the contestants are already so much better than the British series!

I watched “Fun Mom Dinner”, a movie with Toni Collette and Molly Shannon. I quite liked it.

The footy was next. I got two wrong this week, but everybody else got four wrong so I’m still way in front!

I cooked apple chicken with mixed roast vegetables and green beans with snow peas for dinner.

I am now in bed watching “Death Becomes Her”.

An early night seems a good idea (well, earlier than the usual 11pm).
