Age Challenged rQQzy: Precious Time

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!!

Precious Time

Time alone is rare and precious for me.

Today gave me some of that precious time.

BGWLBH drove into town and I declined Adoring Husband’s offer to join him in The Bay, so I had 2.5 hours alone in the house.

I spent most of that time in the kitchen! I made a lemon cheesecake and 4 mini cheesecake tarts with the leftovers. Quite delicious, but not as lemony as I’d hoped. I even doubled the amount of lemon in the ingredients list. Anyway AH enjoyed it.

Last week, I bought some chicken, spinach and pine nut sausages from Go Natural - they are from Eumundi. I cooked them today and they are delicious! So I’ll buy them again.

I did a quick and easy spaghetti bol for dinner with the last of the frozen stores, but AH didn’t eat it because he was feeling unwell.

I am in bed early and I’m going to write some of my book and get in a couple of hours of productivity before sleeping.
