Hiya! I feel like I’ve been making so many changes lately and I apologize for the instability. 
I’m in the process of turning this site into my professional website and will be back to blogging at On Being Nina. I have lots of exciting things happening so come on over and visit me there!
Hello! Sorry I’ve sorta disappeared again. I’m in the middle of making some more changes to my blogs…hopefully it’ll be an improvement!
Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend! Be back soon!
Well it seems that I’m back to posting just once a week. Sigh. Where does the time go? I’m just always too tired by the time I get home from work.
Last Sunday, I celebrated another birthday. I really didn’t have the energy this year to make a big deal out of it. All I wanted to do was relax, eat some good food, and drink all day which is what I ended up doing. I didn’t want to deal with the headache of hosting and planning things…so I just left it as whoever wanted to join me could join me. I ended up going to brunch with a small group of close friends and we stayed there drinking for 7 hours! The pictures below are lovely flowers that I got for my birthday, a fried ice cream dessert with a birthday candle, and one of my besties giving me a b-day hug.
Here are some of my posts from this week:

Phewf, am I ever so glad we have a long weekend. What are you guys up to? I’m going to be shooting a wedding with my favorite boss, my BFF, and then enjoying a day off lounging around on the beach in Jersey.
And of course, remembering those who’ve lost their lives for our country. A big thank you to those who serve!
Hello! Well it looks like it has finally stopped raining, although the forecast says it’s going to start up again. This past Sunday, I went to my boyfriend’s sister’s graduation at Rutgers, my alma mater. It was the first year that they held the commencement in the stadium and it was the largest graduation class with 12,000 students. (You can imagine how many proud family and friends were in the stands!) The traffic getting there was unreal, we had to listen to part of the commencement speech from the radio on the highway.
I was also out of town for a few days and I can’t even describe how lovely it was to be so disconnected from the world without cell phone service or internet. Hopefully I can find time to post pictures after the weekend.
I didn’t work much this week but here are my few posts from last week and this week.
We’re hoping Arnold and Maria can work it out.

What are you guys up to this weekend? It’s birthday weekend for me and all I can think is that I need to find time to do laundry. (Sigh). Tonight I’m gonna go out with my girlfriends for the first time in months. What to wear? Where to go?
Tonight as I was walking to the subway after work I got a call from my good friend. We were catching up for a few minutes before she was going to see a show by herself. Her friend had cancelled last minute. I wanted to offer to go with her but I was literally standing next to the subway and had so much to do when I got home. But I thought about it for a few more minutes…I never go out anymore, I’ve been such a bad friend to everyone, and what I needed to do could be put off for a few more hours…and I was in desperate need of a cocktail after a tough day at work…so I agreed to meet her.
We walked down towards St. Marks and I stumbled upon this tiny little take out store that sells octopus balls. My boyfriend and I always pass it when it’s closed and keep saying we wanted to try it out. It was delicious! Unfortunately, I spilled the sauce on my jeans and smelled squid-y all night.
Afterwards, we headed over to Webster Hall to see Brett Dennen. We both had never heard of him before but she had free tickets that she didn’t want to waste. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the band. We just wished we knew the words so that we could sing along like everyone else.
I never want to go out anymore because I don’t have the money or time, but I must admit it was so nice to hang out and see my girlfriend. I guess the trick is to catch me before I get on the subway!
