Bye Bye Old Blog!

My new Diary (my blog) is finally live! I am so excited! This blog will still be here, but all new posts, sneak peeks, and Andi chatter will be on the new blog from now on. I might experience some "bugs" along the way (OK- so I know I will! ha!), but just hang with me. The new blog has HUGE images and all sorts of fun links. Check it out at www.andidiamond.com/blog. See you on the other side!!

The Red Elephant! YUMMY!

Hi there my beloved blog stalkers! I have a great new restaurant for you to try out....The Red Elephant Pizza and Grill! We went last night for their open house/training event. We were welcomed in to an evening of complimentary food and drinks to try out the menu and see how the staff is doing before their official opening. All I can say is WOW! It was fabulous! The Red Elephant is a fun, comfortable atmosphere that is perfect for families or a date! Everything was fresh and so good! The staff could not be nicer! So if you are looking for a new restaurant, give The Red Elephant a try! It is located at 14391 N Dale Mabry in Tampa or call 813-908-PIZA (7492). And yes, it is north of Kennedy (all you South Tampaians...ha!)- but it is totally worth the 15 minute drive! Bon appetite!

Update on the Chinese Gymnasts..

Well, it came out today that the Chinese gymnasts really were old enough to compete in the Olympics. Do I beleive it? Not too sure. After all, the information was received from the Chinese government (who takes gymnasts away from their families as young children to train them to represent their country). I mean..I am just saying....

A Future Gator- Meet Will!

3 1/2 months is such a fun age to photograph- especially when the baby is Will (who happens to look like he is 5 or 6 months old!)! What a cutie pie! And even better- his parents are Gators, met at the University of Florida, and bleed orange and blue! Gotta love that!! This boy is destined to greatness! Will did so well throughout his session, then reached that point- and the game was over! Sleeping baby! Enjoy your "teasers" Jen and Jack and GO GATORS!! (Saturday was a rough day for Gators nationwide...) :(

Jim and Pam- ENGAGED!

OK, so this is not an engagement session- it is Jim and Pam- from The Office...my favorite show, which premeired tonight! This show is hilarious! HILARIOUS! It did take Pete and I a couple episodes to get into it, but then we were hooked! I cannot get enough! And Jim is my celebrity crush! He is sooo cute (do I sound like a teenage girl??!!) So, here is to my fellow Dunder Mifflinites! The season is on- yippee! Oh, and check out Jan's candle site (yes, that have a website for Serenity By Jan! ) Click here- it is a riot!

Dancing With the Stars is back!

I LOVE Dancing With The Stars! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! And I am thrilled that Maks- the bad boy of the dance floor is back! So my early favorites are: Lance Bass and Lacy Schwimmer (any relation to David from Friends??), Rocco DSpirto and Karina Smirnoff, Cody Linley and Julianne Hough (OK, she is a favorite of my husband. She is adorable!), and Misty May-Treanor and Maks (moslty because I am still going through an Oylmpic withdrawl since it ended and I love Maks! Too bad they could not get Michael Phelps! ha!). So we will see what happens, but I can promise you that I will be glued. For more updates, click Dancing With the Stars.
