Very excited that I have got this far so far into the world of Blogging. I think even if noone else reads it I'm going to find it useful, I guess similar to keeping a Journal but different in that my diaries in the past have come with a lock and key and say keep out, private, its mine, you will die if you dare look in here (that one was used many years ago when I was an over-reacting teenager). I guess this is public but in a private way. I feel if i say in here that Im going to do something then Im going to feel more motivated/ pressured to do it.
I had no idea what to call this either - i wonder if other people struggle or have a Eureka moment, or maybe its just blooming obvious to them. I also struggled with the description - i guess i tend to describe who I am depending on who is asking and why - I am a senior manager/ I am a single mother/ I am single/ I am mid-late thirties/ I am all sorts of things...
I think the age thing is difficult at my age (38 in a couple of months). What do you say? So am I middle aged/ thirty something/ nearly 40? I probably prefer to think 30-something is the best description as I definitley do not feel affinity to the others - and because of the tv programme ages ago that I think made it all seem a bit glam. So I guess thats actually not a good description of me then!
I genuinely tend to forget my age when asked, so keep trying to get myself to remember that am nearing 40 as i think I'll be able to remember that one. And I obviously look my age - the nice (young) chap who came to look at my car on Friday when I dunched it (thats another story) didnt even bother asking but had me down on the forms as 'Mrs'. I have never been, and am unlikely to ever be a Mrs, due to not seeing the point of it all. But guess i must look like i should be/ have been married by now..!
I like the sound of being in the summer time of my life - middle aged sounds so, well,.. middle aged (and isn't 40 the new 30..?!). If we're averaging a life of 80 years now (at least I will be when I get on that health and fitness regime), then I guess 38-40 must be the May/ June time of life. Makes me think of sunshine, long days and light nights, BBQs... except for this year when its been a horrific washout of course...

What a great start! That was a zillion times better than my first entry (but I will warn you that after three months, I started to get my lit off...lol)!
Welcome to blogville! I'll link you and do all the lovely customary things - invite you over for coffee and all that sort of stuff. (That basically means, I'll let my friends know you're here.)
I hope you have lots of fun and make loads of friends, and find it a worthwhile and wonderful experience. I for one, have never looked back. x
Another welcome, Jez! I'll link to you as well and I second what missu has said. Good for confidence, too, when you need it. As for age - try not to worry about it. I'm married to someone 18 years older and when I asked him how old someone was the other day, he said, 'our age.'
So what is age, really?
Thanks to you both for welcoming and encouragement. Here's to a whole new world...!
