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!!

I Am Sated

I enjoyed a fabulous day with The Gypsy.

She is dog and house sitting for a couple of days, so Adoring Husband drove me out to the house at 10am and I called him to pick me up just before 5pm.

Even after 7 hours of non stop talking, it was difficult to say goodbye. After 8 years of friendship, I am still amazed at how we can fill so many hours with just talking. We simply sit somewhere comfortable and talk until time is up.

It’s always interesting, inspiring, comforting, educational, funny, reminiscent, supportive, challenging, empathetic and full of love and light.

Ours is a very nurturing relationship with a strong connection and I enjoy it very much.

So that was my day.

It was chicken wing night so I didn’t have to cook.

I watched some T20 cricket.

I had a 30 minute phone call with Number One Son because he didn’t respond when I tried to contact him for his birthday yesterday. He was otherwise engaged.

Now I need to sleep because I had a very restless night last night.





Nite all.
