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!!

Happy Harley Day

With no meditation on Tuesday, I had a quiet day that started with Harley play and finished with trivia.

I cooked chicken saltimbocca for dinner and served it with mash and asparagus and green beans. Both BGWLBH and Adoring Husband went back for seconds - always a good sign.

I watched “The Little Things” starring Denzel Washington, Rami Malik and Jared Leno. I’d seen it before but still enjoyed it the second time.

I also caught up on The Block.

Fell asleep around 11pm and slept for 7 solid hours.

My alarm sounded so that I could rise and shine for a day in The Bay with BGWLBH.

We started with coffee at OBC, followed by Office Works (yet another journal), leading to the nail salon and Big W, the lady’s boutique where I bought a skirt, then on to Stocklands for t-shirts, make up, lotto and browsing. Our last stop was Pialba for juice at The Jam Jar, bacon from the butcher and groceries at Coles.

We were home before 2pm and I was starving!

There was special time with Harley because it’s his third birthday! 🎁 


I made some lunch, watched my quiz shows, played with Harley and prepared creamy chicken and mushroom penne pasta for my team’s dinner.

We played trivia and watched MKR. Even though I was really tired at 4pm, I now have my second wind at 10.45pm!

I will now attempt to sleep.






Nite all.
