Speaking at my college

So next Monday, I'm speaking in front of a class of PR students at my alma mater. I have no idea what to say....

I heart halloween

I wish Halloween was like, twice a year. one day of Halloween isn't enough.

My sisters and me went to a Halloween party with our friends at O'Donoghues on First in Hoboken and it was a great time. We left earlier than everyone else because my sister Maggie was wasted. We went to the diner to eat afterwards and while waiting on the cab line she puked all over the street.

This is her searching for her room after vomiting in the toilet:

Good times.

michelle loves bitties

Me & Michelle's conversation about visiting her bitty man at the bar:
MICHELLE (7:53:03 PM): i think i want a diet coke lol
DINA(7:54:02 PM): you cant get a diet coke
DINA (7:54:08 PM): then he'll know you just went there for him
DINA (7:54:22 PM): at least pretended like you had a rough day and needed a beer
MICHELLE (7:54:38 PM): um hes not even 21 i dont have to pretend dina
MICHELLE(7:54:51 PM): he prob drew my name with hearts already
DINA (7:55:07 PM): no i mean pretend that you just dont want to see him

they tried to make me go to rehab...

Whooo hooo.

So last week I saw something in US Weekly Magazine about a dress like a celeb Halloween costume contest. I was at work and was like 'oh what the hell, my Amy Winehouse costume from last year was great." So I sent it in and a few days later I found out that I was one of the entries selected and was going to be featured on the website.

Here is the link to my winning entry on USMagazine.com: http://www.usmagazine.com/node/21395?slideshow_id=892&o=21&rating=4

cry, sunday, cry...

Every Sunday, I watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and I look forward to it because I always cry. There hasn't been one episode where I watched the entire episode without crying. The one from tonight is DEFINITELY the saddest. This family has a son with Leukemia and he's the cutest kid ever. I know it's weird that I enjoy crying to this, it's the sadist in me I guess. I do it to myself, seriously...

how beautiful is this

i took this picture while michelle, kary and me were driving on 440. michelle screamed 'omg look at the sunset take a picture.' lo and behold i snapped away and caught a beautiful picture of the bridge.

no one should ever be doing this in public

dear friends,

if i ever get this way:



PLEASE SLAP ME IN THE FACE IMMEDIATELY!

i have no idea who these people are but someone should have stopped them. i'm no angel, i've been a drunken spectacle a time or 12 in my life, but my friends would have definitely stopped me from doing this...or at least i hope they would. this is just a reminder to them to do so!

i wonder if they knew that everyone was pointing and laughing at them. and then there are other idiots like me that caught it on film. gross!

ok thanks!
xoxo dina

donate to a great cause!

my tongue was everywhere this weekend...

melissa, me & fetch having fun....

I have no idea who this guy is!

oh the mess i was!! but what a fabulous time I had at the Oktoberfest on Friday & Hobson's and Texas Arizona on Saturday...here are some more from Saturday

after a crappy week....i can still manage to laugh

this is what i made today at work..thought i'd make everyone giggle...so i gave one to each of my coworkers signed "love always, Dina"...and then i hung the original up in my office.

engagment ring - i know im crazy

I know this is a little crazy but I picked out this engagement ring. I know there is absolutely no way that I will be getting it anytime SOON, but I saw this ad in a magazine at work and I thought it was gorgeous. Of course that diamond wouldn't have to be that big, but I'm just wishfully thinking.

I also wanted to test the new scanner we got for the office and this was the first thing I saw laying on my desk.

It works.

I figured I'd scan this picture because I'm sure I'll lose the ad and forget about the ring. I want to be prepared just in case, ya know, a miracle like a decent guy happens to come along.

for a good cause of course...

old blog

So, I think I mentioned it in my first post but yesterday I found my old blog which was really weird. The entire blog is about the rise and fall of the relationship with my first love, Rob. What is weird about that is the night before I found this, I had a dream about him.

Don't get me wrong, Rob and I are still good friends. There is 9 years of history between us...and it's too long and complicated to discuss now. We are civil and we manage to talk/hang out every blue moon. The underlying feelings are and probably always will be there.

So anyway, the night before I found the blog I had a dream about him. It was one of those really quick dreams but it was basically him coming up to me, sweeping me into his arms and the kissing me.

So weird that I dreamed that and then found my old blog about him. I'll probably text him tonight.

NKOTB

I nailed the events of the NKOTB concert last night with my first post. As predicted NKOTB caused a bitter feud between my sisters and I as usual. All was fabulous until NKOTB began performing. We had a great time before that----we tailgated with boxed wine in my mom's mini van looking SUV.





<-----I got a little tipsy...not gonna lie.

NKOTB was great from what I saw. I would have seen the entire concert, but my sister Melissa and I got into a huge brawl during the performance. And by huge brawl I mean she slapped me in the face a few times with her large banana hands. Yea, it wasn't pretty. So, I decided that I was going to make a statement and I had my cousin Amanda pick me up from the concert. Yea, I was being a baby.

Whatever, it was fun anyway.

Me & my gorgeous cousin Jasmine

poppin the cherry

So I have nothing to say, I'm going to be honest. Except that I'm going to see New Kids on the Block today. I hope they have they have their same old corny dance moves.
I'm going with my 2 sisters--which brings me back to the days when we used to be OBSESSED with NKOTB. My oldest sister, Maggie, would tease my hair like hers and we'd play with our NKOTB dolls. Of course we each had a boyfriend from the group. Maggie's boyfriend was of course the most gorgeous--stunning blue eyes and innocent looks, Joey. Melissa needed the leader of the group--the big Kahuna, Jordan...he was the badass of the group that was the fan favorite.

So which one was my boyfriend? I of course wanted Jordan also, but my sister would not have that because he was already hers and he could only have one gf. My sisters would always say, "Dina, you can have Jonathan--he's colorblind, he'll date you."

Tonight should be fun.
