Hi ladies!
Sorry this is so late...gettin' ready for some good ole New England tropical weather :-)

When I grow up I want to have my own ponies for parties business…"Oodles of Doodles Ponies for Parties"...I would only “employ” rescued ponies!!! HOW FUN!!!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Occupationally I want to be a software product manager right now.

Overall I'd like to be NOT BROKE - we're buying a house in like 2 weeks and we are going to be totally totally 0 dollars in cash in the bank BROKE. Never been broke in my life (seriously) and its freaking me out a little.

Fitness wise I'd like to be 15% bodyfat or less but I think I'll settle at a lot higher.

I just wanted to share something with the group...one of my old Diamond Dolls friends (I wish I could remember WHO so I could give her props!!) would draw a diamond on the inside of her wrist to remind her of her sparkling support system when she was reaching for something that perhaps she shouldn't or just needed a visual reminder when things got tough...as weekends are definitely hard for me, I will be sporting one and thinking of all my lil diamond friends!!!! Have a fun/happy/SAFE weekend everyone!!

My answer has always been "teacher" and that is what I am. But, I've always had dreams beyond teaching and with as stressful as my job has been lately, I'm being reminded of those dreams again. I would also love to be a published author/poet. I write poetry and I have been told that it is good enough for publishing. I have thought about getting my PHD and becoming a college professor as well. And, now that I am such a part of the school where I work, I have thought about becoming a high school counselor. Knowing me though, I'll probably always be a teacher.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I have a degree in Interior Design and would love to actually have an interior design job. But my current creative outlet is making jewelry. I would love to own my own business someday. I do actually have a business license and do sell me jewelry. But it's just very small scale right now. Hopefully one day it will be a big business. And hopefully I will be able to get back into interior design once the industry and economy are better.

I have been thinking of back up choics just in case. I've thought about going back to school for either a business or an education degree. So I will just have to wait and see what the future holds for me.

I'm hoping to be a mother too. My husband and I have officially decided to start trying in Spring / Summer of next year. I also want to be a runner and be healthy.

We are closing on our first home in 2 weeks and it has bland beige carpet, bland pergo flooring, and home-for-sale bright white walls (like the color of primer) and I just spent like an hour on HGTV flipping through pictures and saying "this color? This color? Ths color?" to my honey since I want to paint before we move in. So if I suddenly start linking paint chips in my friends feed you KNOW I am talking to you.

haha, we have no taste, its probably going to look horrible or equally bland.

Me too!! I will be drawing one on as soon as I can find my sharpie!!

Happy weekend to all the Diamonds, I hope you are having a good one and making sensible choices!! Has anyone done anything this weekend that they want to share?

Today (Sunday) I wane for a walk with some friends, one who has just had a baby and then we went for a lovely Sunday Lunch in a local pub. We spent about 4 hours sitting, talking, eating and catching up. With my friends sleeping baby in my arms and my friends around I felt very happy and it was a great Sunday all in all!!

Hey Diamonds,

I live near the river in Philly, and the hurricane had a major impact. I thought I would share the pictures I took in front of my house:

The street:



This is where I usually go for my run:



Newsworthy:



My house and the items in it are fine, although I'm pretty sure there is flooding in the basement.

Keep Shining!

Try to stay dry Jamaica

Love the idea of a diamond on the wrist.

my notewothy moment of the weekend was after doing a run with my sister. She's a very fast, long term runner who is slowing way down to run the half with me next week - she's one of those who has never had a weight problem and just cuts back on beer or runs a little more if she ever sees a slight scale change (and yes her 3 sisters who've had the weight issue do hate that!)... after our run, I was doing my usual stretching and she looks at what I'm doing and responds with "oh my, I can't do THAT! apparently in spite of her fitness level, she has little flexibiliy and can't even think about touching her toes, which I was doing and have been for a while. have to admit that felt pretty good!
