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!!

Happy Birthday to Meeeee

I think that the only way my birthday could have been better, was if I had visits from my kids, but they all remembered and I had great phone calls :)

I have certainly felt the love, received unexpected gifts and beautiful cards with heartfelt sentiments written inside. I've received birthday phone calls and had musical birthday messages left on my voice mail. I received a free coffee from the girls where I get my morning coffee and SO MANY messages through facebook!

I had a quiet day at home and did a little cooking, bathed a dog, did minimal housework, received and unpacked my FROG box of fruit n veg, had lemon/lime cheesecake for dessert BUT forgot to have a wine to birthday 'cheers' myself! I even visited Dr Dan yesterday, to make sure I was stocked up for the occasion!

Ah well. I'll make up for it tomorrow night at the club.

Meanwhile, here is another interesting video .. it's only 16 minutes and well worth viewing.



Sleep time for me.

Nite all.
