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!!

It’s Time

Two trips into The Bay in two days.

BGWLBH had an appointment in town yesterday and then needed to follow up today.

We did another big shop yesterday. Meat, vegetables and supermarket plus bread, seafood and lotto. We also ran an errand for Adoring Husband yesterday, but he didn’t give us the right information so we had to return and exchange the goods today.

I’m feeling a bit tired tonight and my joints are aching like an old person’s … oh wait … I AM an old person!

Tonight, when I’ve finished this post, I’m going to make a “to do” list.

I have so many chores that I need to do and want to complete, but my procrastination skills have reached their highest potential and I just never get anything done. Now I am at the point where I am overwhelmed with the number of things that require my attention.

I figure that if I make a list, I can set myself a timeline of couple of weeks and systematically work my way through the list. 

That should be less overwhelming.

Once I’m done, I’ll feel like I’ve earned time to play with some art. I miss my art, but I feel too guilty about what I SHOULD be doing as a priority.

My head/mind/brain is very complex and complicated.

Anyway, time for me to get started on that list.





Nite all.
