The Dominican Bachlorette: Why did i go and do that?

Ok i know i said that there would not be an other installment until Friday but then i had to go and do something that i just had to tell you guys about.

So as we all know our bachlorette and the fellas are planning on going to the club later on tonight. Well our bachlorette being the social butterfly that she is inivted her co-works/friends to come to. When our bachloretter was talking to Mitzi in the office about going to the club, G (Karla's crush at work) just happened to be there and heard the whole conversation. Then he said:

G: " You guys are going salsa dancing?"
Karla: " yeah"
G: " Man i have always wanted to do that."
Karla: " Really?"
G: " yeah everytime i see people dancing i think damn that is cool."
Karla: " Oh really, well you should come?"
G: " I will looking into it and see if i can make it."

Say it with me people "DOH" what was i thinking. Like if there is not going to be enough drama there tonight with B and X and Adrian all in one place but now i had to go and invite the guy who i have the BIGGEST crush on. This is defantly going to be an intressting night.

The Dominican Bachlorette: Adrian's House

Karla went to the "school thing" but left shortly after seeing her student perform. While Karla was at said "school thing" she received this voicemail " Hey mama it's B I was just calling to see where you were at and if you were still coming give me a call. Peace" Karla calls B back but the foo does not answer his damn cell phone.

Karla arrives at Adrian's house to find Adrian and Doug are the only two people there...

Karla: " Hey Guys what’s up?"
Adrian: " Hey Karla"
Doug: " Hey Girl"
Karla: " uhh where is everyone at?"
Adrian: " You know these [insert racial epithet]'s never show up on time."
Karla: " ha ha ha ha"

So Adrian, Doug and Karla are just kicking it hanging out in his driveway when Brian and Jenna show up followed by B and his wife E. Then X, Karina and Amanda show up.

B: " Yo we really are on CP time."
Adrian: " [insert racial epithet] they can never show up on time."
B: " Yo man shut up."
Jenna: " So what are we going to do?
B: " We are going to drink."
Adrian: " Then we need to make a run to the store."

After about 15 minutes of fighting over what they were going to buy and who was going to go B and X leave for the liquor store.

Meanwhile everyone else is still hanging out on Adrian's driveway.

Adrian: " Yo [insert racial epithet] we can go inside?"

Silence

More Silence

Adrian: " Or we can just stay outside, whatever is cool with me."

So everyone is talking and drink whatever they found in Adrian's fridge when... Adrian walks over to where Karla is sitting (on Brian’s car) and sits on the other side of her (yeah he thinks he is smooth) Karla is talking to Doug until Adrian taps her on the shoulders.

Adrian: " Hey Karla?"
Karla: " Hey"
Adrian: " Umm...I know you talked to B."
Karla: " Yeah"
Adrian: " and...umm...I want you to know that I am not normally like that."
Karla: " ah"
Adrian: " it's just that I get shy sometimes.... uh I don't know what happened to me."
Karla: " It's ok Adrian, don't worry about it."

Adrian stands up and walks away from the car.

Adrian: " I promise I’m not normally like that."
Karla: " It's cool I understand."

Doug makes a stupid comment and everyone laughs. Adrian leaves to go pick up his friend who is also his barber.

Adrian: " Yo I am just going to go and pick this [insert racial epithet] phucker is lost."
Brian: " ok dog just leave already."

X and B are still not back yet and now the host is gone as well so the crowd starts to get restless.

Jenna: " Damn where are these fools?"
Brian: " Shit it is taking them a long time."
E: " let me call B"

E: (talking on phone) “ Hey baby where are you at?”
E: “ Damn why are you guys all the way out there?”
E: ‘” Alright well we will see you in a little while.”

Once E hangs up the crowd attacks.

Jenna: “ Yo where are those fools at?”
Brian: “ Please tell me they have the alcohol”
E: “ Yeah they do, they went to pick up Danny.”
Jenna: “ Damn, why the phuck do they have to pick that [insert racial epithet] up?”
Brian: “ Oh damn that means it is going to be a while.”
Doug: “ Oh hell no, I know these [insert racial epithet] don’t expect me to wait for their ass.”
E: “ Why couldn’t they drop off the alcohol and then go pick up Danny?”
Karla: “ Ha ha you guys really are a bunch of alcoholics.”

At that time Adrian and the Barber show up. Adrian is introducing everyone to the Barber.

Barber: “ Which one is she?”
Adrian: “ She is sitting over there by my car.”
Barber: “ Oh I know she is not the one is white (referring to Karla)?”
Adrian: “Yeah that’s her.”
Barber: “ Damn, dog you can do better then that.”

Inside Karla’s head “ Y Este Tipo?”

Adrian grabs the Barber and takes him to the end of the driveway. There is a lot of talking and hand gestures. Adrian and the barber then get into the barber’s car and drive down the street then come back. Adrian then introduces the barber to Karla. The barber trying to be friendly gives Karla a big hug. Karla’s not having it and pulls away.

Barber: “ What was that too long?”
Karla: “ Yeah”

Adrian then grab’s Karla’s hand and pulls her off the hood of his car where she was sitting and ask her to walk inside with him where they talk in the kitchen.

Adrian: “ Yeah so like I was saying I’m not normally like that.”
Karla: “ Adrian I know this”
Adrian: (laughing because he is NERVOUS) “ It’s Just…”

Well since Adrian is laughing Karla starts to laugh to because this shit is funny.

Adrian: “ Don’t laugh at me.”
Karla: (still laughing) “ I am not laughing at you.”
Adrian: “ Whatever…it’s just that when you gave me your number on Saturday I felt weird about calling you because I thought you were going to shoot me down.”
Karla: (still laughing) “ That’s right I was.”
Adrian: “ What you were?”
Karla: “ No you idiot I was just messing with you. I gave you my number because uh you are my friends and eh friends talk.”
Adrian (laughing): “ yeah that is right I just don’t want you to hold my past against me.”
Karla: “ You phucking criminal of course I am going to hold that against you.”
Adrian: “ What?”
Karla: “ I am just playing…why would I hold that against you? No one is perfect…not even me, relax dude it’s ok.”
Adrian: “oh alright.”
Adrian: “ You know the reason why I never said anything before was because of X”
Karla: “ X what does he have to do with this?”
Adrian: “ Well he is your cousin and that boy is crazy, soft but crazy.”
Karla: “ Ha ha that’s funny…damn you know that if you have a problem with him you just let me know and I will take care of it.”
Adrian: “ Nah it’s not like that it’s just that I don’t want to disrespect him.”

Right then everyone and their mama walked in and that was the end of the conversation. A few minutes later X, B and Danny FINALLY show up with the alcohol and everything is all right again. Once inside the house the fellas gather in the living room while the ladies hang out in the kitchen with the tequila.

Jenna: “ Adrian”
Adrian: “ What?”
Jenna: “ You have no limes fool…how are we suppose to drink this shit with no limes?”
Adrian: “ Damn girl it’s alright we will get you some limes calm down.”

After 5 minutes of fighting over who was going to the store to buy the damn limes. X and Doug leave for the store.

Jenna and E start taking tequila shots with out the limes. Adrian (being the smart man that he is) stay in the kitchen with the girls where he is teased and made fun of till no end.

Adrian: “ Why are you ladies always picking on me? I’m a nice guy”
E: “ Uh because we have known you for a long time.”
Jenna: “ Oh shut up Adrian you know you like it.”

Everyone then moves down to the basement were they listen to music, play air hockey or pool and just hang out. Karla notices the time and gets ready to go.

Karla: “ Alright ya I have to go. I will see you guys later.”
B: “ Your leaving?”
Karla: “ Yeah, I have to go to work tomorrow.”
Adrian: “ Nah just hang out for like 15 more minutes.”
Karla: “ Ha ha I wish but no I really have to go.”
Adrian: “ Alright then let me walk you out.”

So after saying goodbye to everyone Adrian walks Karla to her car.

Adrian: “ Is it weird that I am feeling you?”
Karla: “ What?”
Adrian: “ Is it weird?”
Karla: “ Ha ha no”
Karla: “ Hey are you going with us to La Rumba on Thursday?”
Adrian: “ Are you going?”
Karla: “ Yeah”
Adrian: “ Then yeah I’m going. Actually the only reason why I am going is because you are going.”
Karla: “ Oh”

Adrian is looking at Karla like he wants to kiss her and just when he is about to X and Doug show up.

Karla: “ Cono, X always knows how to ruin a moment.”
Adrian: ‘ Yeah I know.”
Karla: “ Well let me say bye to him and Doug.”

Karla says goodbye to X and Doug and just as she is walking back to her car B comes out to see what was taking Adrian so long. Adrian gives Karla a hug goodbye

Adrian: “ Umm is it ok if I call you tomorrow?”
Karla: “ Yeah”
Adrian: “ Alright”

Our Bachlorette goes home.

I won’t see any of those fool’s today because I have to work late and then I am going to the airport straight from work. My sister and my nieces are coming in to town for 2 weeks so I will be busy with them. We won’t have another installment of The Dominican Bachlorette until Friday.

The Dominican Bachlorette

Tonight on the Dominican Bachlorette:

So today after work Karla runs out the door and drives as fast as she can to her job interview. Once Karla leaves said job interview (which she thinks went well but she wont know for sure until a few days) she checks her cell phone to find this voicemail:

Hey Mama it's B i was just calling to let you know that today is the 8th anniversary of Adrian's mom passing and instead of going to the club or something like that he would like for all his friends to come over and spend some time with him. We are going to be cooking and hanging out. I know you have that school thing (choir concert, one of my students is preforming) tonight but once that is done you should stop by. Anyways i will talk to you later. Peace.

What will our bachlorette do? Will she stop by Adrian's house? If she does what will happen inbetween B and Adrian when they are in the same room with the bachlorette after both of them have just confessed that they have "feelings" for her?

Tune in next week for our next installment.

(see Janette i went with you idea.)

This is not happening to me?

(Disclaimer: You might want to read the entry below this one to get the back story on this.)

OMG Mon you wanted an update well here you go...

So i called Adrian and he asked me to go out and get something to eat with him so i said "ok"

Well i went and met up with him at his house. When i got there Lee, James and Doug were there helping him fix his car.

After a while Doug and James left and then when we were leaving we dropped Lee off.

We went to eat at a Vietnamese resturant and the whole time we are talking and just hanging out we then go to Burger King and got some Hersey Sunday Pie and went back to his house to eat them outside in his front porch. He introduce me to just about ALL his neighboors and then i had to go home to get ready for work today. He asks me " Is it ok if i call you tomorrow?" I looked at him like he was crazy and said " Adrian are you serious of course it's ok" This boy is tripping all these years that i have known him and now he feels like he need to ask for my premisson to call me?

I call B to let him know that i made it home ok and then we started talking about some other things. While i was talking to B, Adrian calls him and says " Dog i really like her, I am reall feeling it but i just don't think i am worthy enough" I don't believe B when he tells me this.

Karla: " Worthy enough?? what does that mean?"
B: " It's hard to explain"

Well i hang up the phone with B because he was working and then he was going to Adrian's house so i let him go and i started to talk to Jessica.

About 9:58 p.m. my phone rings. It's B he has to talk to me.

Warning: You might want to sit down for this one. Also Sorry that it is kind of long.

B: " Karla?"

Karla: "Yeah, Hey B what's up?"

B: " umm...I can't believe i am doing this"

Karla: " What? What are you talking about? Whats up?"

B: " Man i can't believe i am making this call"

Karla: " B, What are you talking about?"

B: " Adrian just called me"

Karla: " ah ha and?"

B: " I can't believe i am doing this"

Karla: " B stop it, tell me what is going on? What happened to Adrian?"

B: " Damn i can't believe i am making this call"

Karla: " B, Stop it just tell me"

B: " Ok i need a moment"

Karla: " Ok"

B: (taking deep breaths)

Karla: " are you ok?"

B: " I can't belive i am doing this, out of all [insert racial epithet] we know this [insert racial epithet] has to ask me to do this."

Karla: " umm what are you talking about?"

B: "Ok Adrian just called and he is tripping over you."

Karla: " what?"

B: " Man, I CAN NOT believe i am telling you this"

Karla: " Just tell me B"

B: " Karla in all the years that we have known Adrian, i have never seen him act like this over a girl."

Karla: " what?"

B: " This is hard for me, I need a moment"

Karla:" ah ha"

B: (taking in more deep breaths)

B:" This dude is acting like a middle school girl who just found out that the guy she likes, likes her back"

Karla: " what?"

B: " This can't be happening?"

Karla: " B, Just get to the point"

B: " Damn this hurts, i can't believe i am doing this"

Karla: (takes a deep breath)

B: " Ok...he wants to know...."

Karla: " He wants to know what?"

B: " I can't believe this shit is happening now that i can't do anything?"

Karla:" He wants to know what?"

B: " I need a moment"

Karla: " uh ok"

B puts the phone down and walks away. I can still hear him walking around in his office and breathing deep.

B: " Ok i am back"

Karla: " Ok"

B: " I told that [insert racial epithet] to call you himself but he says that he can't"

Karla: " B what are you talking about?"

B: " Damn this is all X's fault"

Karla: "What are you talking about?"

B: " Adrian says that i can't go to his house unless i bring back something positive"

Karla: " What are you talking about?"

B: " Damn"

Karla: " Cono B just tell me"

Inside Karla's head (This is like middle school, what the hell is going on here?)

B: " He wants to know what you think about him?"

Karla: " What?"

B: " He says he can't sleep, he is like a phucking jitterbug."

Karla: " you have got to be kidding me?"

B: " Damn this is all X's fault, If i would not have listen to that [insert racial epithet] this situation would not be happening."

Karla:" ah ha"

B: " He wants to know if there is a chance you guys could go out on a real date."

B: " I can't believe i just said that."

Karla: " Ah...i can't believe this is happening"

B: " You see i told you Karla i told you these [insert racial epithet]'s were digging you but you didn't wan't to believe me."

Karla: " oh wow this is crazy."

B: (sounding like he was going to cry) " I'm sorry Karla i need a moment."

B: (taking deep breaths)

Karla: " Why doesn't he call me himself and ask me this?"

B: " that is what i am saying but he is says that he can't"

Karla: " ah ha....damn"

B: " Ok i am ready tell me what you think of him?"

Karla: " ah ha damn this is something else"

B: " Just tell me something Karla this dude is tripping over there"

Karla: " What can i say, i like Adrian as a friend and i would have to get to know him better before i can say wether there is something more there or not. Now there is a but i don't want him to get the wrong idea i am not trying to lead him on or anything like that. He has to make sure that he does not get ahead of himself and develope feelings for me and then end up all hurt when i don't. The last thing i want to do is end up hurting him."

B: " Ok that is a good answer"

B: " Do you want to know what i told him?"

Karla: " Umm i don't know...Do i?"

B: " I told that [insert racial epithet] that he better think about this shit before he trys anything else because you are not one of those little girls he is use to running around with."

B: " I told him that you are a real women and that if he was hurt when one of those little girls broke his heart then he would be destroyed if you ever broke his heart."

B: " I told him that you would Phuck him up and he would never be able to recover. I told him that you would walk all over him and that he would never be man enough to approch you again if he did this shit wrong."

Karla: " ah...wow...umm this is too much for me."

Karla: " What do you mean i will phuck him up and destroy him you make me sound...well you make me sound like some horrable women."

B: " No that is not it"

Karla: " Then what is it?"

B: " Damn i can not believe i am telling you this."

Karla: " oh not this shit again."

B: " I feel really uncomfrotable telling you this."

B: " I know excatly what he is talking about because i have been there. i have had those feelings for you and this shit sucks because now i can't have you and this hurts because i can't believe that i am the one who has to tell you."

Karla: " wow"

B: " yeah"

Karla: " umm...ok...this is to much for me... i am going to go i need to think about this."

B: " Yeah me to."

Karla: " are you going to be ok?"

B: " I don't know...yeah i will be fine."

Karla: " Umm...ok... i will talk to you later."

And that was then end of the conversation. I can't believe that my friend who likes me had my friend who is in love with me call me to tell me that he likes me.

i feel so bad for B i can't imagen what that was like for him. I can tell he was hurt and i know that it was hard for him to do that. OMG this is too much drama for me. Last night i just went to sleep. I could not think about it because if i would have then i would have never gotten to sleep.

So here i am the morning after at work listening to Lauryn Hill and think about this whole situation.

This Weekend...

Wow this has been a crazy weekend. In fact I am still recovering from everything that happened. This all started on Thursday night. Out of frustration, anger, sadness, etc I started to cry. I called Caro and I cried on the phone with her we talked until it was time to take Adonis to the airport.

Xavier and Jessica went with me. On the way to the airport Adonis noticed that I was cry and he said “Pero Karla don’t cry, damn I won’t leave if it means that you are going to stop crying, I will stay, I promise.” All together now Aww isn’t he so cute. Once I told him that while I was sad that he was leaving I was not crying because he was leaving he said, “ Whatever woman you know you want me.” That sent me into a fit of laughter.

We get to the airport and said our goodbyes and before Adonis went in to the security checkpoint he came back and slapped my butt and then walked away with this HUGE smile on his face. Of course everyone heard me say “ Cono Adonis what the hell was that?” as I rubbed my bottom. He just smiled and walked through the security checkpoint knowing damn well that I could not go back there and get him. The security guards were trying so hard not laugh and I think one even high five Adonis as he walked by.

Well then one the drive home I was reminded of why I was crying earlier and when I got home I ended up crying all over again. This time I talked to Jessica for a little while before I fell asleep on the floor. Hugging my tear stained pillow.

I had the day of Friday and spent most of my morning clean house and doing laundry. Then B called and we started talking he asked me if I was ok. So I asked him “ oh so X did tell you that I was crying last night” He said “ WHAT no…why where you crying?”

Karla (in her head CONO): umm it’s nothing never mind.
B: “Karla don’t give me that shit what happened?”
Karla: “ Don’t worry about it B it’s nothing”
B: “ Nothing my ass tell me what happened.”

So we go back and forth like that for a little while until I finally tell him what happened. He then goes one to tell me not to worry about it, that everything will be o.k. Blah. Blah and then he lets something slip.

B: “ Yeah plus we all agree that you are pretty much the perfect girl”
Karla: “ QUE and who is we?”
B: “ uh, um, uh… you weren’t supposed to know that.”
Karla: “ Really well it’s to late now, you already let it slip now you have to tell me who is we”

Now why did I do that? Why? Oh why? The boy starts talking and before long I know WAY too much. It was like opening a water faucet everything just came out. He defiantly let the cat out of the bag and if a few of the boys find out they won’t be happy with him.

B informed me that a few of our guy friends (six to be exact) either were in love with me or as he said “ really, really like you.” Umm let’s just say Karla was shocked and was not ready for all that. He went on to tell me in detail their conversation about me. It was toooooo much for me and I had to hang up on him. It was just too much for me; in fact it was kind of weird to think about the fact that my guy friends who I have known since high school thought about me that way.

Anyways I mention it to Jessica and she said “ check you out breaking hearts and you didn’t even know it”…LOL… damn right I didn’t know it. In fact I had no idea. Later on that night I went to Nataly’s house for dinner and we just hung out and B called me again and this time we talked for like 2 hours and during those 2 hrs he confessed that he had feeling for me and that he is not getting along with is wife because he wishes that she was more like me.

Whoa buddy hold on a second. Pump the brakes. Just stop. I had to quickly remind him that he could not do that to his wife. That it was not fair to her for him to do that to her. In fact we get into a whole discussion about that and that he could not make her into me because she was not me. That he had to love her for her and that of course his relationship with her was not going to work as long as he would not accept her for her.

On Saturday I spent the morning helping my mom cook, did some more cleaning and then I got ready for my uncle Luis’s birthday party at X’s house. All the boys were there and we had a great time. In fact I was the envy of all my girl cousins. Seeing as I know all the hot boys…lol… My friend Doug went and well Doug is one HOT Bourica. So after dancing with Doug, Lilly comes up to me and asks “ how does it feel to dance with the hottest guy in here?” I said “ What?” So she repeated the question and I said (laughing) “ Doug, you think Doug is hot?” She said “ Yeah”

So me being the great cousin that I am I got Doug to dance with Lilly when the song was over she came over to me and gave me a great big hug and said “ THANK YOU, THANK YOU.” Lol I have to point out that Lilly is like 10 and Doug is 23…lol…it was so funny. I think it was even funny when Doug said “ You, Oh I am going to get you. Your little cousin was schooling me while we were dancing. That’s not cool Karla how can you do that to me… a 10 yr old was dancing better then me. “ LOL I almost died laughing.

I regretted it like 2 seconds later because then all of my little cousins were asking me if I could get this guy to dance with them or that they thought this guy was cute. I was like whoa get me away for the youngling’s they were on full attack mood and it was just too much for me. Ay my poor friends they had all these 10, 12 and 13 yr olds after them. It was so cute and at the same time funny. My primitias have these huge crushes on my guy friends. They took like a million pictures of them.

So we kept dancing and talking and having a good time when Adrian looks over at me and says, “ We should get married?”

Karla: “ What?”
Adrian: “ We should get married?”
Karla: “ Oh really”
Adrian: “ Yeah”
Karla: “ ha ha ha ha ha”
Adrian: “ I’m serious girl you and me would have some cute Black/Dominican kids”
Karla: “ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”
Adrian: “ What is so funny.”
Karla: “ You…hahah.. getting…hahaha.. married..haha”
Adrian” I am serious come on we will go to Tiffany’s right now and you can pick out any ring you want.”
Karla: “ ha ha…yeah ok whatever”
Adrian: (in a serious tone)“ Karla I am serious”
Karla: “Ha…umm your serious”
Adrian: (singing) “ Yeah, girl when I saw you across the room I know right then that I LOVE YOU.”
Karla: “ Ha ha I knew you were kidding.”
Adrian: “ No I am serious I am ready to settle down I am going to be 24 soon. “
Karla: “ ah yeah me to but I am in no hurry to get married”
Adrian: “ oh shut up and just agree to marry me.”
Karla: “ ha ha ha ha”
Adrian: “ I am taking that as a yes.”
Karla: “ha ha WHAT?”

He then walks away and proceeds to tell all of our friends that we are getting married which was greeted with a “ WHAT??” and “ Are you for real?”

B: “Karla are you really going to marry Adrian?”
Karla: “ No he is just messing with you guys.”

Umm or so I thought. The dude is serious he later asked me how many kids I wanted and where did I want to go for our honeymoon and where should we live and how were we going to spend the holidays and blah, blah. I looked at him and said “ Adrian how much have you had to drink tonight. “ He responded with “ Cono Karla I am not drunk and I am not kidding.”
Doug came up to me and said, “ ah so now you are going to marry him, I thought you loved me?”
Karla: “ ay not you too.”
Doug: “ Can I be your undercover lover then?”
Karla: “ ha ha ha ha…very funny Doug”
Then Doug kept winking at me all night and mouthing call me. That boy is too much.

Later on that night the boys went out to the clubs and I stayed behind to help Jessica clean up. That was a big deal the boys became very upset with me because of that and tried to convince me to go with them instead.

Doug: “ what your not going?”
Karla: “ no I am going to stay and help Jessica clean up”
Adrian: “ No come with us come on, I will buy you whatever you want.”
Karla: “ Ha ha no I am going to stay and help”
B: “ No you have to come you don’t hang out with us no more”
Karla: “ Whatever”
Danny: “ Yo when was the last time you hung out with us?”
Karla: “ umm like 2 weeks ago”
Adrian: “ no”
Karla: “ Yup in fact it was at your house” (pointing to Adrian)
Neamia: “ whatever shorty that don’t count”
Karla: “ha ha”Adrian: “ Yo why don’t you hang out with us like you use to?”
Karla: “ umm because I have this silly thing called a job and you guys party way to much for me I can’t hang with ya anymore.”
Adrian: “that is a sorry excuse”
James: “ Yo leave Karla alone if she doesn’t want to go, she doesn’t want to go that’s it.”
Karla: “ Thank You James.”
Doug: “ phuck that you NEED to come with us.”
Karla: “ Oh really?”
All together: “ Yeah”
Karla: “ ay whatever you guys go make it a boys night go drink, dance, hit on girls, have a good time. I will see you tomorrow.”
Neamia: “ Nah shorty I already told you that ain’t going to work you are coming.”
Karla: “ Damn yo what part of I am not going don’t you get?”
Doug: “ umm all of it”

So we go back and forth with this conversation until I agreed to go with them to La Rumba on Thursday night. They then left and I helped Jessica clean up.

While at the club Adrian told B “ Dog I really do have feelings for her, I am serious about us getting married. “ B said “ Adrian you really need to stop drinking.”…lol… You see the reason why no one is taking Adrian serious is because Adrian is the papi chulo of the group or as the young kids say in “ he’s a playa.” Adrian has a different girl with him every hour of the day. So its really hard for us to believe him when he says that he wants to get married.

Yesterday the guys had a softball game and I went for a little while but then I had such a bad migraine that I went home with in 10 min of the game starting. Once I got home Caro called me and we talked for a little while. After talking for a little while Desiree called Caro and Caro linked the calls so I was able to talk to Desiree for a little while. It was soo good to finally be able to speak to Desiree even if it was for a little while. The connection was bad so we had to cut the conversation short L While I was on the phone with Caro, Nataly called and said “ Hey Adrian is here looking for you.”

Karla: “ What?”
Nataly: “ Yeah Adrian is here at the game looking for you.”
Karla: “ Um ok”

So Nat and I hang up and I keep talking to Caro about her trip (so excited for her) and then I hear beep. I check and there is Adrian calling on the other line. So I switch over and he says, “ So I am here looking for you and you are not here.” I inform him that I am not feeling well and that I went home. He then says, “ Well go get some rest and if you feel better later on we can go out and get something to eat.” I said, “ umm ok” and went back to talking to Caro.

After I hung up with Caro I went and took a quick nap and when I woke up I felt much better by then EVERYONE and their mother was at my house for dinner the game had ended and we won 9-3. Woot! Adrian was over then and we sat and ate and talked and then I had to go and watch my show Desperate Housewives.

Adrian: “ You mean you are going to ditch me for a TV. Show?”
Karla: “ Hell yeah”
Adrian: “ that is so wrong.”
Karla: “ ha ha”
Adrian: “ I can’t believe you”
Xavier: “ Adrian shut up you do the same thing when it comes to the O.C.”
Karla: “ wait a minute you watch the O.C.?”
Adrian: “ Yeah it’s a good show.”
Karla: “ ah”
Adrian: “Yo you can’t talk shit about the O.C.”
B: “ Dog I think you are the ONLY black man in America that watches the O.C.’
Everyone: “ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”
Adrian: “ whatever you’re just hating.”
X: “ hating on what the O.C. no dog I don’t think so.”
Karla: “ ah leave him alone everyone has their thing.”

So I made them watch Desperate Housewives with me and during commercials I would explain the show to Adrian and tell him what was going on.

After Desperate housewives was over the boys wanted to go to the movies to see Unleashed. Again I had to turn them down because one I still had a migraine and two I had to come to work today.

Adrian: “ ah don’t start with that you are coming with us to the movies”
Karla: “ Dude I have to work tomorrow”
Adrian: “ At what time do you have to work?”
Karla: “ 7 but I have to be up by 5:30 in the morning.”
Adrian: “Good lord that’s early”
Karla: “ yeah I know”
Adrian: “ damn that’s what you get for being a teacher.”
Karla: “ ha ha yeah”
Adrian: “ so you really are not going to go”
Karla: “ I am really not going to go”
Adrian: “ ah come on I will buy you popcorn and bonbons and whatever else you want.”
Karla: “ ha ha that is tempting but I have to go to work tomorrow”
Adrian: “ well who the hell told you to be a teacher”?
Karla: “ umm I think it was the same person who told you to go into real estate.”
X and B: “ ha ha ha ha she told you.”

With that they left I had to agree to call Adrian today or else he would not have never left me alone about the whole movie thing.

Jealous, Hating or Both?

Jessica’s brother Adonis is here visiting. He has been here for a couple of days and we have been doing the tourist thing. We went downtown on Friday on Saturday I took him to Vail and tomorrow we are going to Colorado Spring to see the Garden of the Gods.

Since it has been a while since the last time I saw Adonis (I was 10 he was maybe 7) we have been playing catch up since now he is 20 and I am 23. Well Adonis has a girlfriend back home (Dominican Republic) he has been a good boyfriend and called her every day since he had been here. Well on Sunday I asked Adonis if he wanted to go to the mall since he had mentioned that he wanted to buy a few things. At that time I did not notice that he was talking to his girl (on-line) he told her that he would talk to her later because he was going to go to the mall with me.

The girl flipped out and started asking him all these questions, “Who is Karla?” “ How do you know her?” Blah, Blah. This chic was seriously jealous of me. Adonis had to explain the whole situation to her and even then she was still pissed and jealous. So we did not get to go to the mall because Adonis had to explain the whole situation to his girl.

Once I saw how upset she was getting I left and let Adonis handle his business. Jessica comes upstairs laughing and says “ I can’t believe her she is really jealous of you.” “ Oh Karla look what you did?”

Well yesterday the chic calls to talk to Adonis and she is giving me attitude on the phone. I could not believe it. This chic is really jealous of me and I did not even do anything to her. I mean damn I have known Adonis for YEARS. He even told her that and he mention that I was older then him and probably not interested plus he told her that I was not that kind of a girl and that she had nothing to worry about and still this girl is hating on me. I mean HATING.

Last night while we where watching T.V. he was talking to her on-line I did not know that he had the web cam on and it just happened to be that I was sitting next to him. She totally flipped out on him again. “Who is sitting next to you?” when he told her it was me she said “ Oh I see tu con tu corro…” oh she was pissed. Which then pissed him off and he started to move the web cam around to show her that there were other people in the room with us. She did not care she was still pissed. I have no idea why she thinks that there is something going on between him and me, because umm there is not and don’t get me wrong Adonis is HOT but I wont go there and he knows that.

Bursting in Flames

Sorry that i was M.I.A. yesterday. The school that i work for caught on fire and we had to evacuate so i did not get a chance to write and entry yesterday.

Everyone is ok and the school is alright the fire started in the storage area behing the stage and thankfully the sprinkler system turned on and that help countain the fire to just that area. So we stood outside in 80 degree weather for 2 and a half hours with hormonal, crazy, middle schoolers who were freaking out because they thought they were going to die even though they were outside and away from the fire before they sent us home. Yay for getting out of work early. Well kind of us teachers had to come back and get our stuff and blah, blah the whole place smelled of smoke and water and it was just gross.

Oh and before anyone ask no there were no cute fireman, police officers or EMTS. Trust me i checked.

So i went home and just hung out till it was time for me to go to my second job. Today we are back at work and the kids all want to see the "damage" that the fire made and we have to have a "classroom talk" about what happened yesterday.

I have an entry that i have been working on that i am going to try to post on here today.

Taking a Break

So i am going to take a break from this whole weight lost thing for a while. Lately i have become so frustrated with the whole thing. Here it is almost a whole year of working out and eating right and i still have not lost weight. Well i should not say that i did manage to lose six pounds but depending on the week those six pounds seem to come back. I am tired of yo-yoing and i just feel like i need to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation.

When did this happen?????

 

Could someone please tell me when this happened? When did our grandparents become so old?  Since when did the pillars of our family need canes to support themselfs?

Papa is 90 yrs old and he never looked like it until a few months ago. 

Why is that when you are younger you think your grandparents are immortal? They are never going to get sick much less die, but then you get older and someone shows you a picture like this and you wonder when did this happen? when did my inpiration and role models become so old? Since when did papa need a cane to get around? and since when does mama look like that?

All these questions run through your mind until you look at the picture again, closer this time and then you notice that they are all smiling. That's when it hits you they have lived a long and happy life. Yes they had their trials and tribulations but in the end they are still smiling.

This Weekend...

This weekend I am going to my cousin Angelica's graduation party. She graduates from college today and we are going out to party afterwards.

On Saturday I am going to the supermarket to go pick up some last minute things that i need for the package that i am sending to Gaby in Iraq. On Sunday I plan to just sit on the couch and watch t.v. until it's time to go to the guys softball game.

To end this post i am includng a pic of Gaby in Iraq he is the one on the left second row.  Please pray that my primito and all of our other soldiers out there comes home safe and hopefully soon.

Are there any ugly people in our family??

 

Upon seeing this picture of my cousin Javier yesterday my friend said " Seriously are there ANY ugly people in your family?" I laughed and said " What??" She said " I mean really, you are beautiful and everyone from you family that i have met so far has been beautiful like..

"Your cousin's that came to visit (Caro and Nat) They were also beautiful i mean really are there any ugly people in your family?"

Again i laughed and said " Girl you are going crazy of course there are ugly people in my family there is always an ugly person in everyone's family. " She laughed this time and said " ah sure i believe it when i see it. "

So i showed her some pic's of different family member's and said " You see i told you there are no ugly people in your family." I said " what do you mean? yes there is" and she said " no because even the ugly people in your family are good looking."

So then she kept talking about how hot Javi was so i showed her....

This pic of Javi out of his uniform and well she almost died on me. She called an other one of my co-workers over who also thought that Javi was hot and that there are no ugly people in my family.

Well i don't know what to say i guess we just have really good genes.

Where did my readers go?

Well i lately i have been feeling like an outsider here in the Blogging world. Some of my blog friends no long comment on my blog. I know that they are still around and that they are doing ok because i read their entries and comment and i see that they leave comments on other peoples blog but it seems like mines is being avoided. Did i say something that offended my readers? Could someone fill me in on what is going on?

Just because...

So for most of last week I was feeling kind of lonely. It was weird because even though I was feeling lonely I wasn’t alone. During that time there were people around me but yet i felt lonely. Yeah, like I said it was weird. Well usually when I get down like that I watch Sex and the City and that is what I did. I made myself a glass of rum and coke changed in to my p.j’s and sat down to watch the girls.

Jessica came in towards the end of season 2 and once it finished we started talking about everything before we know it it was 2 in the morning and Jessica had to go home.

On Saturday I picked Jessica up so that we could pick up some last minute things for X’s surprise birthday party. The party was a hit; we had a lot of fun. We drank too much, ate too much, dance and laughed a ton. Everyone had a good time.

On Sunday I went to Anabel’s first communion and then we went to Applebee’s afterwards. I wish you guys could see how cute baby Alex is. He has grown so much. After stuffing my face at Applebee’s I went home to watch my Sunday shows (Extreme Makeovers: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy) towards the end of Grey’s Anatomy B calls me to tell me that his grandmother had just passed away.

We talked for a little while and then he told me that he would like for all of his friends to come over and visit him on Monday.

So yesterday I took the day off from work and went to hang out with my friend. Before I left I got a call from X saying that B’s wife’s grandfather had just passed away. Now that was weird. B’s grandmother dies on Sunday and then his wife’s grandfather passes on Monday. X, Jessica and I went over to B’s to spend sometime with them. When we got over there I was surprise to find that both B and his wife were in good spirits. So we hung out for a little bit and then B suggested that we all go out to dinner later on because they really needed to be with their friends right now.

So Adrian offered up his house and we all gathered there at 7. So we all get there, agree on getting Popeye’s for dinner and just hang out. The boys were just cracking jokes on each other and everyone was having a good time. In total we were about 15 people out of those 15 there were 6 girls. B’s wife, Adrian’s girlfriend, Brian’s fiancé and her cousin, B’s daughter and me.

All six of us ladies are sitting down in the dinning room eating our chicken and hanging out when one of the boy’s comes in and tries to steal our jalapenos. Since he was not listening to the other girls I had to tell him how it was. Well he putt’s the jalapenos back where he found them and says “ Sorry Kara” and walks off. The girls all look at me and then start throwing all these crazy question at me.

“ Why is it that he only listens to you?”

“ How come when you ask/tell him to do something he does it but when I ask him I have to bitch at him forever just to get him to do it?”

“ He does not do that for me but he will do it for you?”

“Why is it that when something happens he calls you or tells you about it before he tells me? “



At first it was all in fun and joking with them I would say “ I just got it like that” but soon I could tell that it was really bothering these girls that I had so much “ control” over their men and they didn’t.

They just kept asking me questions and to tell you the truth I did not have an answer for them. I told them that most of that stuff was not true that the boys don’t always listen to me and they don’t always do what I tell them to do. They looked at me like I was crazy. “ Oh yes they do.” Was the response I got and then “ it’s all about Karla, Karla, Karla” I had to laugh at that one. I told the girls “ Ha no it’s not trust me.” B’s wife told me “ umm yeah it is.”

Now they wanted me to give them an answer but I did not have one for them. So I gave them the best response I could think of “ I really don’t know why they listen to me and all that other stuff. It could just be because I know them for a longer period of time. Remember I know a lot of these boys since middle school.” Well that was not a good enough of an answer so they ask B and Anthony and of course they gave the best answer of “ I don’t know” and “ It’s just cause she is Karla I can’t explain it.” “ Yeah it’s just because she is Karla” Jeez thanks guys. That was a lot of help. The girls asked, “ what is that suppose to mean” I was wondering the same thing.

Somehow we were able to change the subject and move away from that topic. Even though we changed the subject that was still on my mind. Mostly because it’s not true or at least I don’t see it that way. I really don’t have any kind of control over anyone and what does “it’s just because she is Karla” suppose to mean?
Oh Miami guy is no longer coming to Denver. His sister is getting married in D.R. and he is going to the wedding. So it looks like Don Omar has me all to himself.

Passing

B's grandmother passed away last night. I am going to go and spend some time with him today. I have some stuff to write about but right now it is going to have to wait.

New To Denver

So yesterday before all of the stuff in the basement Nataly calls me and tells me to turn on the radio and tune in to 95.7 so i do and i almost died when i did.

95.7 use to be KISSFM but now it's LA MEGA which is the hottest raido station in New York. I could not believe that they were playing merengue on a radio station in Denver. I was so excited, I finally have some real music to listen to. I can turn the radio on again. Yay! I am so happy. So i will be able to buy plataino chips at my local grocery store without having to go up hill both ways in the snow barefoot.

In other new's Miami Guy is suppose to come to Denver in May for a friends wedding. For those of you who have not noticed May starts next week. So Miami Guy will be here soon. Cono!

Oh and just because i know that J and Janette had something to do with this Don Omar will be in Denver on May 28 for a concert. So it looks like Don Omar and Miami Guy are both going to be here at the same time.

Conversation's in the basement

So on Tuesday I called up B to invite him to X’s surprise birthday party (which is this Saturday...the party that is not his birthday) We talk for about 20 min and he never mentions anything about getting a divorce. Last night I go to X’s house to hang out and B is there. So we are all hanging out and then B starts this conversation.

B: “ Karla, I am really tired”
Me: “ Yeah I bet you are you are working two jobs”
B: “ No that is not what I am talking about, I am talking about my marriage”
Me: “ oh”

So then he starts telling me about some of the things that are frustrating him and I just let him talk. I just sit and listen because I can tell that he just needs to vent. So I don’t say anything until he says “ I guess I am not man enough for her.” At that point I could not keep quite anymore I had to say something. So I go off in to a ramble about how he should not say that and how he is a wonderful man and pretty soon the dude is crying. No he is not bawling but there are tears running down his face and well that just broke my heart.

So my first thought was “Cono (shit) I did not mean to make him cry.” So I ask him if something I said upset him and he says “ No it’s just that you understand me and yet my wife won’t even try to.” I remind him that I have known him longer then she has and that is why I “understand him” and that he needs to give his wife sometime to get to known him the way that I do.

So he keeps crying and telling me how hurts he is and how he wants to do the right thing for his daughter and then he started talking about his grandmother (who is very ill) and he just kept on crying. I felt so bad for him. The poor guy is under so much stress. Then in the middle of all of this his biological father calls him and that just upsets him even more.
I know his worse fear is for him to become like his biological dad.

I reassured him that he is nothing like his biological dad. Well then really quickly he got up and said that he had to leave that he had to go get some sleep so that he could go to work the next day. I don’t know what happened there. He just got up and got ready to leave. I don’t know if I hit a nerve or something or if he realized that I had just seen him cry. It’s not like this is the first time that we have had a deep and serious conversation but it was the first time that I have ever seen him cry.

The end of a love affair…the beginning of a new addiction

Well it is officially over my love affair with Chipotle that is. I went to Chipotle last night for dinner. I picked up my burrito and went home to eat it. I took a bite and Yuck, for the first time ever I could not stand to eat the rest of my burrito. To me it tasted nasty it had no flavor. I know longer felt the same way about it. I no longer craved it. So I throw it away and now I know that was the last Chipotle burrito I will eat for a long time.

I know what you are thinking, Karla what happened you LOVE Chipotle? I don’t know somewhere along the lines we grow apart. Did you get a different burrito? No, the funny thing is that I had my usual and it just tasted nasty to me. Now let me make this clear there is nothing wrong with Chipotle, their food is really yummy but it’s just that I no longer enjoy eating it.

Even thought my love for Chipotle has ended, I do have a new love or addiction… Nestle Lemon Ice Tea. I forgot my water yesterday and so I went down to the vending machine to get some water. We were all out of water and I refuse to buy soda/pop so I thought I would try the Ice Tea. Well now I am hooked. That will be my new addiction until I grow try of it and replace with yet another addiction.

Well, you'd better try, and you'd better try soon. Because if the way they've been looking at you lately is any indication, they've definitely got the jump on you in that department.

If you don't believe me check it out yourself here.

(By the way yes, i am bored and that is why i am posting so much today)

Confessions over bowling.

So on Friday I went to the Wine and Cheese party. I had a nice time. Four of my co-workers showed up. I was so glad to see them because that meant that I had someone to talk to. Well I drank a lot of wine but not enough to get drunk but just enough to feel “nice”. As I was leaving the party my best guy friend (we will call him “B”) called me and asked me if I was going to Ryan’s birthday party the next day. I told him yes and we started talking about some other things.

So on Saturday I went to WW. First of all NEVER wear a velour tracksuit to weigh in at WW. I stepped on the scale and it said that I gained 5 lbs but once I took of the jacket I magically went down a pound. So officially its says that I gained 4 lbs. Later that night I went to Ryan’s birthday party with X, Jessica, Nataly and Gabe. We went to Fat City. When we got there Ryan and Melissa, Chad and Misty, and Adam where waiting for us in the bowling area. So we bowled had a few drinks (long island ice tea’s for this chica) and just hung out. It was so good to see Adam it has been over a year since the last time I have seen him. He has lost a ton of weight and looks really good.

Well do you guys remember how I mention in my entry on March 14 that my best guy friend was in love with me? Well that best guy friend is “ B” well he shows up at 10. He comes over gives me a big hug and says “ Mami you look good” I thank him and we continue to hang out. He is sitting on one side of our bowling area and I was sitting on the other. So he calls me over there saying that he has something to tell me. So I go over there two seconds after I sit down he has his arm around my shoulder.

Me: “ So what is up”
B: “ uh nothing”
Me: “ you told me that you had something to tell me?”
B: “ eh…I did? um that is right I did say that”
Me: “yeah so what is it?”
B: “ eh…long time no see?”
Me: (laughing) “ that’s it, that is what you had to tell me?”
B: “ Oh yeah and that you look really good tonight”
Me: (Laughing) “ Ay B you are to much, but thanks”

So then I try to get up to leave and he grabs my leg and gently push’s me back down.

B: “ eh where are you going?”
Me: “ Back to the other side”
B: “ Nah just hang out here with me for a little while?”

So I did, Adam sat on the other side of me and we just all hung out and cracked jokes on each other. B started to mess with Adam by trying to grab his chest. Adam would then bring me closer to him and say “ Don’t leave me he will violate me if you leave” Ha Ha those guys are too much. Well B kept telling me how good I looked and that I was hot.

I told him I was going to have to bring him around more often because he was a good ego buster.

Well some where in there he told me the following “ Damn why did I listen to X, if I would have just ignored him instead of listing to him I would have been with you instead of my wife but now it’s to late and I can’t have you”

Those were his words not mines. That was the first time he has EVER confessed his feelings for me to me. He has told Jessica and Nataly before but he has never told me how he feels.

Later on Jessica told him that we look good together and he told her that I looked good and that I was his “Dominican Mami’ and that he loves it when I speak Spanish. He asked Jessica to teach him Spanish.

All night long he kept touching my hair, my arm, my leg. It was like he had to touch me. He kept telling me how pretty I am. He kept making small comments that reveled how he really felt about me. When Adam put his arm around me and said, “ Hey did you know that me and Karla are going out?” I said, “ Eh, we are?” B laughed and said “ Eh No” Adam kept messing with him and for a second it looked like B was going to kill him. We had to tell him that Adam was just joking. He was like “ that’s not funny, don’t play like that.”

Jessica and Nataly say that when we are together it looks like we are the only two people in the room that we look “ really cute together” Ay girls did you forget the same fact that he is eh… MARRIED!

Well he called me twice yesterday. He asked me to burn him a copy of Barrio Fino and then he told me that he would pick it up today when we go to lunch. Eh since when did we have plans to go to lunch? Well I called him on that and he said that he wanted to pick up the CD today instead of on Thursday when we had plans to go out to a benefit dinner because he wants to listen to it right away so he thought that we could go out to lunch today. I agreed to meet him for lunch.


So now I am on my way to lunch with my best guy friend who has just confessed to me that he loves me.

Q & A

How old were you when you had your first kiss?

18 (Yeah, I am a late bloomer)

If you had to hang out with her, which one of these three would you pick and why: Cinderella, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty?

Hmm, Sleeping Beauty because all that girl does is sleep and I desperately need to catch up on my sleep.
Okay, a train leaves Chicago headed for Dallas at 56mph, a dog crosses the street in Boston going 2.3mph.... just kidding.

Ha ha now on to some more questions

Aliens show up and plan to wipe out the entire human race. They elect YOU to start over and they give you any 3 men to repopulate the earth with. Who are they and why?

Hmm this is a hard one….let me think…Daddy Yankee because he is soooo hot, The Rock not only is he incredibly sexy but he has a great personality as well and Alberto Puljos… Damn Desiree you called it.


Chocolate or vanilla?

Chocolate

Jay Hernandez …umm…yummy

...where do you bury the survivors?

I’ll never tell…. You will never get it out of me Kom! NEVER!!!! :)

Ok, I happen to agree that real women have curves. How come most women are trying to diet themselves into pre-pubescent boys?

First of all YAY!!! a guy who likes women with curves but now to answer your question because society has told us that looking like pre-pubescent boys is in and no one would love you unless you look like one.

What is your favorite body part on a man?

Damn Janette that was my answer...no j/k....hmm....my favorite body part on a man has to be the shoulders.

if you could have any job what would it be?

Caro you already know the answer to this one, but I will answer it any way. If I could have any job it would be a stripper….ha ha no just kidding it would be a make-up artist. I love playing with make-up and making people look and feel good.

If you could be a super heroine, what would your powers be?
Hmmm…if I could be a super heroine I will have to be Wonder Woman…but I would want to be Wonder Woman with Storm’s powers.


If you could only have ONE emotion/feeling... what would you pick & why?!

Only one emotion/feeling…hmmm I would pick calm because that way no matter what is going on I would always be calm and clear head and able to handle the situation (not very exciting I know.)

Those were great questions. Thanks guys.

My Motivation

My cousin Alex is getting married in December.  I want to go to his wedding but a lot can happen from here to there.  If i am able to go to the wedding i want to be able to wear that dress. So i am going to work out hard core so that i can fit into that dress. Oh and as a side note Alex and Miami guy are friends which means that Miami guy is going to be at the wedding and hopefully i will be also wearing that dress. :)

Damn really....

I am the Siren A man is often secretly oppressed by the role he has to play - by always having to be responsible, in control, and rational. The Siren is the ultimate male fantasy figure because she offers a total release form the limitations of his life. In her presence, which is always heightened and sexually charged, the male feels transported to a realm of pure pleasure. In a world where women are often too timid to project such an image, learn to take control of the male libido by embodying his fantasy. Symbol: Water. The song of the Siren is liquid and enticing, and the Siren herself is fluid and ungraspable. Like the sea, the Siren lures you with the promise of infinite adventure and pleasure. Forgetting past and future, men follow her far out to sea, where they drown.

Walking With Butterflies

Ok so last week besides getting all worked up about the whole Cookie Monster thing, I started to work out again. Since Wednesday I have been walking with my mom and Jessica. Then when we get home Jessica and I do some Pilates. Also I have been eating "clean" as my friend calls it. I guess it most be working because about four people now have come up to and told me I have lost weight. :) I know, I know you don't lose weight over night but I guess I must be doing something right. I don't know where this new motivation is coming from but I hope it sticks around for a little while longer. I did not go to WW this week either, instead I went to the 9news health fair with my mom and aunts. I go with them ever year.

So yesterday I woke up early and decide to go for a walk. As I was getting ready to go Jessica woke up and asked me to wait for her so that we can go walking together. So I waited for her. We walked around the neighborhood once and then Jessica was tired so she went home and I kept walking. As I was walking all of these Monarch Butterflies started to fly around. It looked like they were walking with me. It was a really peaceful and quite way to start the morning. Here is a pic of one of the butterflies.

So my second time around the neighborhood I would alternate in between walking and running. When I got home I drank a big glass of water and then went to do some Pilates.

After that I showered and ate breakfast. I went with my mom and Jessica to help Raquel (mi prima) move in to her new apartment. Then we went to the guys softball game (they won 7-4) and then to my sister's house for our "cousin's meeting". Our "cousin's meeting" was about some stuff that is going on in our family. We all got together and we called Caro. So we talked, yelled, cried, almost killed each other, etc but in the end I think we all got everything that we wanted to say out. We lost Caro somewhere during the conversation because the cell phone we were using died. We tried to call Caro back but umm she would not pick up. So we ended the meeting and then I went home to watch Grey Anatomy.

Say What?

I might be the only person who had not hear about this till now...

Healthier Cookie Monster Eating Fewer Cookies

NEW YORK -- The Cookie Monster is straightening up his act and taking control over his cookie obsession. "Sesame Street's" beloved blue, furry monster is going to learn some lessons about moderation as the children's show kicks off its 36th season on PBS. Cookie Monster will now advocate eating healthy. His "C is for cookie" song has been replaced with a new song -- "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food."

It's part of the show's Healthy Habits For Life initiative, and other characters are taking part, too. "Elmo loves exercise," says Elmo. "Count your fruits and vegetables," says the Count. And "Hand-washing is fun!" says Big Bird.

The show's vice president of research and education said each episode will open with a "health tip," and there will be new characters, such as talking eggplants and carrots.

Show producers said with the rise in childhood obesity, "Sesame Street" is focusing on teaching children about healthy foods and physical activity.

I got that article from http://www.wftv.com/health/4359482/detail.html

I was so upset when i read that. Yes, Ok we want our kids to eat healthy but messing with a television icon is not the answer...LEAVE COOKIE MONSTER ALONE!

Oh i am so heart broken...what has happen to the good old days....ok all i can say is "c is for cookie thats good enough for me! oh cookie cookie cookie starts with c"

Ahh Spring

Nothing says spring like a big snow storm .....

So on Friday when I got home from work I sat down to read my new book Muddy Cup and I fell asleep. When I woke up it was noon on Saturday. Wow I did not know that I was that tired. So since I woke up late on Saturday I missed my WW meeting. I went to the movies with Jessica, Nataly and Denise we went to see Fever Pitch and even though it was a movie that involved the Boston Red Socks “ cough Yankee fan cough” it was actually pretty good. I saw the preview to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants it looked really good and I can’t wait till it comes out so that I can go see it.

So Saturday everyone in Denver kept talking about some blizzard that we were suppose to be getting. I took one look around at the clear blue sky and said “ where ?” Well when I woke up on Sunday I notice that it was bright outside and I thought “ you see no blizzard” that was until I open my blinds to see nothing but snow. My first reaction what “ Where the hell did all this snow come from?”
We were snowed in all day Sunday so we just hung out at my house watching t.v. and eating that was about it. Some areas received more snow then other. Last time we checked we had about 18’ in our backyard. Monday was a Snow Day so I did not have to go to work. The funny thing about that is that the sun came out and by noon most of the snow had melted and the roads were clear. I spent most of the morning Monday shoveling snow and then I made a snowman in my back yard. Now it is Tuesday and I am back at work.

Selena Vive

 

Can you believe that it has been 10 yrs?  I can't,  last night Univison aired the "Selena Vive" tribute concert which featured lots of famous artist such as La India, Gloria Estefan, Paulina Rubio, Jennifer Lopez and many more either singing her songs or talking about Selena.  Her family was there and evey time the camera would show her mom my heart would brake. I thought the tribute was wonderful and i have to say that i especially like the Kumbia Kings and when Los Dinos preformance. I missed the first two hours of ths show because i was at work but i heard that La India did a wonderful job of singing "No Debes Jugar". I hope the Univision airs the tribute again so i can watch the whole thing.

Haunted

Ok so i spent a good part of my week off feeling like i was being haunted. No not by Casper or any other cool ghost like that. No i was haunted by the ghost of Miami Guy. Miami Guy looks like Don Omar. In case you have no idea who Don Omar is here is a pic...

Now take away the tattoos and give him the short faded haircut that every guy in New York has instead of braids and you have Miami guy. I mean they look excatly the same. They are the same height, weight, everything. No Don Omar is not Miami Guy, and yes i am sure about that.  Now Don Omar is a famous Reggeaton singer who has a few number one hits. Well after telling Jessica that Miami guy looks like Don Omar who do you think comes on the radio??? Yup you guessed it Don Omar and that was the being of my haunting.

After that everytime i turned on the radio it would be a Don Omar song. If i turned on the t.v. there was Don Omar. I talked to my girl Nataly (she means well she really does) who said that it must be a "sign" and that i should "call him" Miami guy that is not Don Omar. Eh no not going to happen. Well the week drags on and it seems like Don Omar is EVERYWHERE at all times.

So now Jessica and Nataly are teasing me about it " you see, its a sign you should call Miami Guy". Haha you girls are funny but it is not going to happen. I REFUSE to call Miami Guy.

 Then to top it all off my aunt calls my house and i pick up before i can say "Hello" i can here that she is signing along to the radio. I bet you'll never guess who it was....DON OMAR and the thing that makes the matter worse is that THIS is the AUNT that introduced me to Miami guy.  The whole deal with Miami guy is all her fault and now she is singing along to Don Omar. Ay that was to much for me so i sent an email to "Ask Reese" and got some really great advise from her. (Everyone should write to "Ask Reese" for advise).

So now here i am back at work (looking at the Daddy Yankee pic for yesterdays post) and even here at work i am haunted by Don Omar/Miami guy. One of the students came into my classroom singing a Don Omar song. I think i am going to have to go and hide under a rock.

Where can I find me one of these?

OMG I found this picture of Daddy Yankee online and i almost died. Cono that man is hot! Don't let me catch him in the streets looking like that cause eh i will end up going to jail for rape :) Ok...damn..dios mio why do you do this to me? Ok Karla stop looking at that picture and thinking of all the bad things you can do to him and get back to work...

Oh and by the way if you guys know a guy who looks like that and is eh single let me know or send him my way :)

So what is wrong with the guys from Denver?

Like I said in the entry below I went out on Friday night with my cousin’s and some friends to the Purple Martini and Blue Ice.

The Purple Martini is an upscale lounge/bar. There are two locations one is downtown and the other is located in the Denver Tech Center (DTC) we went to the one in DTC. Usually when we go to the Purple Martini we have a good time. Well that was not going to happen. When we got there, there was a very long line of people waiting to get in. We were able to cut the line because we already had people inside waiting for us. Once we got in the place was crowded. Here we were in this “hotspot” and there were no cute guys around. I mean not even one. The music that night was wack and there were just way to many people in there it was extremely hot in there, but we were going to meet up with some people there so we hung out there for a few hours had some drink, dance, etc and then we decide to go to Blue Ice.

Before we left for Blue Ice, Ray looks around and says “I thought I landed in Denver not Silicone Valley” To which I responded with a “ What?” He says “ Look around just about all the women in here have fake boobs”. So I start to look around and guess what he was right just about every other women in there had fake boobs.

Well we get to Blue Ice and it is also crowded but not as crowded as Purple Martini they are playing better music also. Well about an hour after arriving at Blue Ice, Ray asks me “ So cuz what is wrong with the men from Denver?” I look at him and say, “ What do you mean?” He says, “ Are they all gay or something?” I say (laughing) “ What no why?” He says “ Yo we have been here for over and hour and not one guy has come up to you ladies and asked you to dance or bought you a drink or even try to spit some game.”

When I did not respond because eh he was right he added, “ If you were in New York by now you would be fighting to keep the guys off you.” Again he is right. So when I did not respond again he says “Karla are you listening to me?” To which I say “ eh yeah I was just making a mental note to self to go visit New York more often.”

He laughs and then he gets his boy Lenny (who is also from New York and his sister’s boyfriend) and asks him the same question to which Lenny responds with a “ Yo he is right, if ya were in New York and guys notice that there were five sexy Latina girls all alone the would have been all over ya” All this talk got me think and damn Ray was right there is something wrong with the guys in Denver.

The last couple of times that us girls went out we came back home empty handed. We were never invited to go dance, no one bought us a drink, and we did not even get a single gross look for the sketchy guy at the bar. Nothing it’s like all the cute guys in Denver were shipped out to another state.

So I decided to ask my guy friends what was up. The first one I asked was my best guy friend B.

Me;” Hey B, I have a question to ask you.”
B: (Trying to be Dominican) “Dimelo Mami “
Me: “ What is wrong with the guys from Denver?”
B: “ What do you mean?”
Me: “ Well, how is it that five hot, sexy, young Latina’s can go out for a night on the town and come home empty handed?”
B: “ Say what?”
Me “ Yeah, that is what I said?”
B: “ You mean to tell me you mami’s went out and not a single guy asked you to dance, bought you a drink, spit some game, or even asked for your number?”
Me: “Yup, that is what I am telling you”
B: “ Damn yo!”
B: “ I don’t know what is wrong with them.”
B: “ First of all I am not from Denver.”
Me: “ Yeah I know you are from Chicago, but you are a guy and you do live in Denver."
B: “ Damn if ya were in Chicago you would not have even made it in to the club, by the time you ladies made it in to the club you would have about 15 phone numbers”
Silence
B: “ Karla are you there?”
Me: “ Yeah, sorry about that I was on Orbitz checking to see how much a flight to Chicago cost.”
B: (laughing) “ Damn what is wrong with the guys from Denver?”
Me: “ That is my question?”


Well since B did not answer my question I kept asking. After the normal “ Yo, I am not from Denver, I am from L.A./ New York/ Dallas/ Chicago/ Miami” response most of the guys had no idea either. The best answer I got was “ Yo, the dudes here in Denver are attracted to things that flash, you know what I mean ma fake things. They don’t know a good women when they see one.”

That is a good answer but still not good enough so could someone please answer my question what is wrong with the guys from Denver?

Recap

Now let me explain Sunday’s post. I don’t normally drink to the point that I get wasted. So you know that something is up when I do. So let me recap this week so that you guys can understand why this girl had to have a few drinks that night.

Well my week off was great in fact I wish it were longer. It has been a long time since I was able to actually take a break. I had absolutely nothing to do and for the first few days I was lost. I had no idea what to do. I am so use to always being in action doing something, going somewhere, calling someone. So it was very hard for me to just relax. By the third day of my break I was over my need to do something and I was finally able to relax.

On Wednesday my cousin Ray came to visit from NY he brought with him my grandmother as a surprise. You can imagine the looks on our faces when she walked in. I think my dad almost died. He was so happy to see his mami. So I spent the next couple of days just hanging out with my grandmother and cousin. My abuela spoiled me rotten while she was here. She made all of my favorite food. It was so nice to be able to sit down and talk to her and hug her and just having her in the same room.

We spent the whole morning Friday shopping. Yay for shopping we went to the outlets and to the Cherry Creek Mall. I bought baby Alex some clothes at the Gap and an iPod for myself at the Apple store. I LOVE my iPod! I think they should hand those out to everyone. We went out on Friday night to the Purple Martini and Blue Ice to celebrate my cousin’s Angelica’s birthday. More on that later…. I am going to write a separate entry about that because eh I have a question to ask.

On Saturday after only getting four hours of sleep I dragged myself to WW to find out that I lost 4 lbs! How I did that I have no idea. After going to WW I went to visit baby Alex and then to the supermarket.

While at the supermarket this really cute guy comes up and asks me a question in Spanish. I had to do a double take because the dude looked like Miami guy but younger.
So I gave him the information that he was looking for and then kept on shopping have way down the Diary aisle I said “Duh Karla that guys was really cute what the hell are you doing “ So I went back to see if I could find him. No luck the dude disappeared. Yes I am still kicking myself for that one. I blame my slow reaction time to lack of sleep.

Here we are it is now Tuesday my first day back at work. I am glad to be back at work, but only because that means that I can escape the evil house phone that keeps ring with bad news.

Drunk

Ok so i was going to write an entry but i now realize that i am drunky, drunk, drunk....so i will have to attempt to write an entry when i am sober. Woot eveyone should go and get wasted tonight. Hey drinks are on me!
