I know it's been a while since I've written anything of substance. Actually, I take that back: commenting on the weather is substance! I LOVE meteorology and sometimes wish I were a weather lady. I get all excited about weather and clouds and cold fronts!
But this is a blog about something MORE important and awesome than weather. This is a blog about Diana Ziser. You see, my dear friend Diana recently joined the blogging world, and recently posted a list of things she LOVES. I laughed out loud as I read this list, and pictured her in 4 inch leopard heels, eating spinach artichoke dip with a heaping side of mac n' cheese and drinking a gin and tonic while writing it. And this inspired me to create a list of things I LOVE about Diana Ziser.
1. Her obsession with leopard print. It's true - this woman LOVES anything that looks like it was skinned during a safari. And it reminds me of her whenever I'm shopping.
2. When Diana talks like a Jewish mother. GOD this cracks me up and makes me feel loved all at the same time.
3. When she mails pictures of us together. That picture of us from our summer fiesta in the silver frame is one of my favorites. That party was also one of my favorite nights, and I think about Diana and all of the good times when I look at it.
4. Diana singing show tunes in our living room/kitchen/deck/basement/car. Mmm, yes please. I'd listen to that for a good, long time!
5. How Diana once made Mac and Cheese with more than 4 sticks of butte and I ate it. Thank goodness we fixed this little problem by the time your goodbye party happened!
6. Any conversation with Diana. About anything. Anywhere. I love them all.
I could go on and on, but I really want to add pictures and I can't since I'm writing this from the iGoogle app and photos aren't an option. I'll come back later and amend this post with photos of all these wonderful things.
I love you, Di, and I hope you are taking in Baltimore. You are more awesome than even you would admit!!
