Pixelated Happenings

It’s finally happened…I have decided on a name. I must apologise to my enthusiastic co-blogger, Chatterbox, for not getting my act together sooner and start blogging. Well, here it is, at last, my first post. The final decision on the name was made during a weekend away without the family (perhaps I should really add ‘on my own’ too before arousing any suspicions). Me, myself and I, a very interesting book (which helped contribute to the name) and a little suitcase. It was time for another city fix and get that magic pumping through my veins. Two years ago, whilst I was away on one such trip, I sent a text message to my husband hoping he’d share my joy and excitement, saying “I feel so alive” to which he responded “It’s very sad that you need all that to make you feel alive”! Bloody hell, misery guts or what? I turned off my mobile phone and decided that I would enjoy myself and ensure that I would FEEL REALLY ALIVE.

Before I went on my recent trip, Lucy Love made a couple of suggestions that I should sample some cocktails and look out for ‘uniform’. I have to admit that I have a soft spot for senior - ranking ‘uniform’.  I promised Lucy Love that I would endeavour to bring home with me some cocktail stirrers as souvenirs, and perhaps even share them with my co-bloggers.  (Mmm…imagine, a stirrer from a cocktail I shared with a senior ranking ‘uniform’…). I’ll let you know in my next post how I came up with my cheeky blog name!

We are open to any new ideas and funny stories that can help us all in our quest for self- discovery. I am waiting patiently for Lucy Love and my colleagues to get their posts up and running.

New Beginnings

This blog is for all you girls out there who like to have fun with your marvelous friends and are interested in making the most of your lives.
Despite the name of this blog we won't talk about sex (all of the time) so creepy people can just log out now!
But we will welcome any hints on how to enjoy yourself and your relationships. Share your funny stories and experiences, reflections on life and family and ways for us to get better with age.
This is the brainchild of 2xforty+ and 2xfifty+ mothers with a very irreverent view on life and with the ability to laugh at ourselves.
We're still wondering what we want to be when we grow up!. We wanted to explore what "turns us on" and gets our "motors running" whether it be sex, art and theatre, shopping and fashion, movies, fitness, gardening, food and of course more food and naturally chocolate and champagne. We all have our own interests and strengths (did you notice how I avoided the mention of weaknesses such as a man in uniform!!!!) and we will introduce ourselves through this blog.
