Age Challenged rQQzy: Fully Distracted

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!!

Fully Distracted

Happy birthday to Number One Son! A big 44!

Happy birthday to AJ! An even bigger 83!

Nothing much happening here.

A day in the Bay yesterday, doing all the normal things at the usual places, but I DID purchase a new top and 3 new bras - which I have to return because they are too big! I’ve gone from a 16DD to a 14B. Crazy!

I was going to edit today, but I got distracted by a Netflix movie called “People You Meet on Holidays” which I loved.

I followed that with the new episode of Jet lag the game.

The tennis was next.

Harley play x 2.

I had a 30 minute phone call with Bubbles who will be on the Sunny Coast for 2 weeks from Saturday. We won’t be catching up this time, but will catch up in June/July when she returns.

Dinner was chicken and vegetable stir fry with boiled buttered potatoes which is now on the ‘favourites’ list.

I surfed between the cricket and the tennis.

Now it’s after 10pm and I’m ready for sleep. I slept for a solid 8.5 hours last night - probably because I only slept for 3 hours the night before!

Let’s see what happens tonight.
