Another Sign of Fall in S.Florida

  I made no secret of telling how I spent all my hoarded savings. I mean, I am broke at this point and was really stressing about September. See, in south Florida, September is the month that ALL hairdressers wonder if they will have to get a "real" job after all! haha, we DO love our jobs, so it doesnt really seem like work untill I try to drag my weary ass out of bed to go there!
I'm off point.
This week another true sign of fall arrived with the cool morning air! A New York accent on the phone saying Jo-anne, I ba-ack!! When can you see me?
After the month of September, and my bout of spending, I was DELIGHTED to hear that voice! actually I had three "snowbirds" call this week! YAY!
 We figure September is slow for two reasons.... parents are having sticker shock from putting kids back in school as the August credit card bills arrive, secondly people are counting weeks so they can have their color, or perm, or colorAND perm, all nice and fresh for the entire month between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Anyway, thats what it seems like. I try to laugh about it, but I really blew my savings between um, traffic tickets, paying off last years Christmas leather livingroom set, a screened in patio, and I'm sure there is some other random major expensive I have chosen to block out!
 YAY SNOWBIRDS!!!! WELCOME TO FLORIDA!!!!! (bring cash!)
