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!!

No Rest for the Wicked

Today, when I would usually spend the day in bed, I worked in the shop.

It was well worth opening and sales were again amazing. There is one more day remaining and I need it to be amazing again to get rid of the remaining stock tomorrow.

There was a great energy in the shop for the first couple of hours. Lots of shopping and laughter and banter. It was a lot of fun.

In the afternoon, a couple of the art girls dropped by which was nice.

We closed at 1pm.

By the time I got home, I was starving and luckily BGWLBH had prepared some salads, so I filled a small bowl and munched on salad.

The afternoon was spent going through photos of my entire life. A good portion of them included BGWLBH and it was a bit of a trip down memory lane. I found some Menhennett pics to send to Zak too.

For dinner I created a chicken concoction to have with salads and a couple of barramundi fillets that were almost out of date.

I phoned my little Chicklet for her birthday this afternoon. It was so amazing to hear her voice and she told me all about her day. BGWLBH and I created a birthday video for her which was hilarious … for us anyway.

It was a night for MAFS. 

Now it’s almost midnight!

Best get some sleep!

Nite all.
