Peripatetic Pollyanna

I usually claim to be a "glass half full" kind of person...so yesterday's miserable whining was not well-received. I can tell because there were NO COMMENTS. Come on!!! Give a girl a break!!! Give me kudos! Give me shit! But, above all, GIVE ME COMMENTS!!!!

Let me tell you about the last 24 hours...in pithy, positive bullet points:

* Here's something you don't see everywhere:

Yup...just in case driving a Hummer didn't say, "Look at me! I have more money than sense! I believe in conspicuous consumption! I care not about the cost of a tank of gas!" clearly enough...here's a BUBBLEGUM PINK HUMMER!

*Here is what it looks like when it's raining here...with apologies to my friends suspended in frozen animation around the world:

*We went to the Marlins/Mets game last night. Rory got to hang out with his friend Adam, baseball gloves in hand, waiting to catch a foul ball:

*We got to see my parents. Dad is a big Mets fan. I got the second best picture of my Dad smiling:

It's not that my Dad isn't a happy guy. It's just that it takes the right combination of circumstances to get a BIG smile out of him in a photo. My Mom, my sister and I blithely grin constantly. Oh, in case you were wondering what the other circumstance was (besides great seats at a Mets game). It was standing on a glacier in Alaska:

*Guess who made the Jumbotron?

*We had a brush with fame sitting behind this guy:

In typical Di style, I became "new best friends" with all of those seated near us. Mr. Zafiris is apparently a minor celebrity in the midst of his 15 minutes of fame. After the Marlins beat the Mets last fall in New York, this appeared in the New York Times (I'm linking to it NYT, so please don't sue me!...I'll take it off if you insist):

And here in South Florida for the opening games of the Mets' season, Mr. Zafiris was quoted in the Miami Herald.

Mr. Zafiris...if you are reading this (I gave him my card) PLEASE COMMENT. Has anyone noticed a trend of comment desperation here?

I'm still finding irritations on my little South Florida adventure...for example on the breakfast buffet, one has to search carefully to find each of the utensils needed for one's breakfast. Forks are located far from the spoons and knives are in another location altogether. Not a search mission one wants to be on before one's second cup of coffee and without one's glasses on.

just exactly how precious are your parents? your dad's smile is priceless.

My dad is hard to catch smiling too. Great fun seems to have been had at the game though.
I have an excuse for limiyed commenting sweets - big move gets closer by the day.
