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!!

Life Goes On

Still nothing exciting happening here.

Monday was a quiet day on the couch (what else is new) and my only other activities were playing with Harley, tending my garden and cooking dinner.

Today was meditation day and even though it was a struggle to get out of bed, I was still 5 minutes late. Apparently, all but one person was late to class!

I enjoyed 2.5 hours with The Gypsy afterwards. We had a LOT to catch up on because we hadn’t seen each other for two weeks.

Adoring Husband had a doctor’s appointment to have his stitches removed, so I had to ride my trike to class. I had a head wind on the way there, which was a struggle, especially because it’s been quite a few weeks since I last rode.

Thankfully, it was a tail wind on the return trip.

AH was home by the time I arrived and BGWLBH was in the Bay.

At 1pm, I sat down to eat my lunch and watch a fluffy movie, followed by Australian Idol catch up.

AH had a little nap on his chair.

This afternoon, I felt quite unwell and it was a real struggle to move myself off the bed to cook dinner. I managed to throw a stack of food in a baking pan and put it in the oven for an hour. At the end of the hour, I steamed asparagus and carrots with garlic and butter to have with.

I came straight to bed after dinner to nurse my tender tummy.

I did NOT win OzLotto $40million tonight. Sad but true. I had big plans to help so many people.

Now it’s time to sleep.


Nite all.
