Hi everyone!
Before I go into episode three, I just want to make it understood that we are not able to respond to your questions and comments below. I don’t want anyone to think that I am not answering your individual questions. If you have Facebook you can friend me at Dina Manzo-rhonj and I try my best to get back to everyone. Don’t stop commenting on here too! Thanks!

I have to say writing this blog I am in a somber mood. I just came from the funeral of a family friend and also one of our “Ladybugs” at the hospital is a little under the weather, so if I am a little serious, I hope you understand.

Let me start by asking all of you if you LOVE Teresa as much as I do? How freakin’ cute is she and her daughters? I swear, even talking about that girl puts me in a better mood. I hope it’s obvious to everyone that any child would get tired after awhile of doing ANYTHING. Gia loves nothing more than getting her picture taken.

Our family has been right there through Jacqueline’s struggle to have another baby. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome our new nephew into the world in a few weeks. I am sure the little man will be as adorable as his big brother CJ.

: 08/17/2009 - 1:27pm; Roulette Tricks; Sometimes it's really that simple, isn't it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

: 07/26/2009 - 2:07pm; Martha; Dina, I admire many of you for different qualities. I many times wish I could be as strong and be able to carry myself off like some of you do. Maybe I will learn. My daughter and I watch the show all the time and really enjoy it very much. You seem to be doing very well raising Lexi, and again I admire that. I went to a wedding yesterday at the Brownstone. What a beautiful place. The food was outstanding. I knew you had to have had your hand into the decorating of the women's bathroom upstairs. It was just gorgeous! You had every thought for a ladies room and carried it out with such elegance....and this is just the bathroom! I wanted to take one of the sinks home with me. You just did everything right. The room that the wedding was in, was exquisite (please spread the word). Your husband happened to be there and I recognized him. He was so low key and polite. He was so nice to take a picture with me! A real gentleman. I only wished I had seen you as well :) Thanks for letting me take your time to read this and share a wonderful experience with you. My best to your family and friends on the show! P.S. I grew up on LI, moved to Livingston, NJ for 10 years and now back on LI....but I still have that teeny bit of NJ in me!

: 07/12/2009 - 10:33am; Paula; Dina, I love you and your whole family. I am a proud first generation Italian American. Your daughter Lexie is going to be a wonderful women, because she already seems very caring and respectful of you and her family. I have the most respect for women who are single mothers who do everthing they can to make a life for themselves and their children. Congratulations on finding someone who gets that. Teresa is my comic relief, she cracks me up. Jacqueline is so sweet, please pass along my congratulations, and Caroline what can I say, I would definitely want her as a friend not an enemy. I hope ypu ladies decide to come back, if not we'll have to watch reruns.

Hey Dina:

I am addicted to all the Real Housewives shows-however New Jersey has been incredible! You are my FAVORITE housewife out of every show and season. Your family dyanmics are very vibrant and real-it really hits home!

Hope you keep up the work and sign another contract because you make for good TV.
