Traded Diamond Earrings for a New Bike

[Pedal Wench]

Yes, a shiny new blue diamond bike. I like that. I know there is a blue topaz, but blue diamond, I am not so sure of. I'm glad I straightened out my priorities too. I rode it today 4.8 miles. I could go more, but I also walk my dog in the mornings and it was a busy day. I'm going to work my way up, but I think I need to get bike shorts sooner than later.

put a helmet on that shoppping list too

Ahh, I already have a helmet. I got it about 5 years ago when I was riding with the kids to their school. I figured if they had to wear a helmet than so should I.

Congratulations on the new bike! To tie this to another thread, are you going to name her? I think the bike will be more fun than the diamonds

Yes, there are blue diamonds, the most famous being perhaps the Hope diamond: http://www.si.edu/Encyclopedia_Si/nmnh/hope.htm

Bee-YOO-ti-ful bike!!!!!

And you've given me an idea as to what to do with the diamond wedding band I no longer need; congratulations on your new bike, and thank you!

Maybe I shall name her "Hope" after the famous Hope Diamond.

LOL - I just told my husband that I named my bike Hope and he laughed and said "is that because you hope it will help you lose weight." Isn't he funny?

You might want to rethink that name. The Hope Diamond is supposedly cursed.

Yikes, I should have read the story first. Okay, I will rethink the name. LOL. It is not set in stone yet.
