Perfect timing 12/3/11

  • Weather Channel said the sunrise would be at 7:04am and BAZINGA.  Sure enough, Sunbella peeked over the ocean at exactly 7:04.  Good thing, too, as my hair color needed to be rinsed off at 7:05.  For several days I would hear "have your roots done, Clairee" whenever I looked in the mirror.  That's a line the fabulous Shirley Maclaine, playing Ouiser, said to her best friend in "Steel Magnolias."  Since I don't have a BF here in MB, Ouiser was looking out for me.  Amazing what a hair cut (yesterday at Smart Styles) and color can do.  I feel positively perkified.
  • Went to my writer's group this morning.  The only thing I'm going to say about that is:  my perky has now petered out.  How long am I going to keep kidding myself that I'm a writer?
  • Saw a hundred or more Harleys go by on a toy run as I was driving home.  Some of the riders had on reindeer antlers or Santa hats.  (No helmet law in SC.)  Cool to feel that concentration of revved-up power and giving spirit.  How fitting that Skynyrd's "Freebird" was playing on the radio as the riders flew down the highway.
  • I'm taking myself out sunning now to clear my head and warm my soul.  Doesn't matter that it's only 62 degrees.
