What a difference a day makes 11/6/11

• Almost missed the sunrise because of the time change, but I hit the balcony just in time to see Sunbella's appearance before the clouds drifted back in.
• For any of you following my blog, I've tweaked some settings so you can now make comments if you choose.  Sorry, I'm a blogging rookie.
• What started out looking like a crappy weather day turned glorious.  Still breezy, but the strong sun made up for it.  Did some running around town and saw trees in the medians whose russet red leaves look like the Bradford pears from back home in Missouri.  A tad bit of fall color right here at the beach.
• Faced my fears and got my hair trimmed at SmartStyles in Wal-Mart.  A lovely gal named Ashley followed my directions to a tee and did a nice job on my sea-grass looking mop of hair.  Funny thing, she moved here a couple months ago from near Greenville, SC, and her boyfriend is still there just like mine is back in Missouri.  We had much to chat about.
• Had a fantasterric surprise -- my Sweetie got his plane ticket to visit me on 12/10.  Only five long weeks away.
• Had a beachwalking dog fest.  Met a Chorkie, a Chihuahua and Yorkie mix, that was so teeny he had to jump over the footprints in the sand or be swallowed up by them.  Also saw a 3-legged Rottweiler lumbering along at a quick enough clip to keep up with his 4-legged pals.  He had a big grin going.
• Luna Linda, almost 3/4s full this time, was sunning herself in the afternoon sky again.  I miss you at night, Beautiful Moon -- please come back!
• I had quite a pity party going for myself yesterday, didn't I?  Guess I need to read my own blog and remind myself "the sky looks murkiest right before the sun pops out."  Had a few checking-in-on-you calls this morning from my homeys, that cheered me.  Then my creative mojo got perking again, and I spent the morning working on query letters for my book.  So after a fresh haircut, a long beachwalk, and the promise of a visit from my SGD, I'm feeling good again.
