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!

Oye Karla where the hell are you?

Damn did everyone get Matt as well? Umm doesn't ET know that Daddy Yankee is my soul mate? I guess not.

Yeah I know I suck at updating my blog. On Saturday I did not go to WW instead I went to the eye doctor and found out that my eye sight keeps getting worse. Yup the older I get the blinder I get, but then again I have been going blind since I was five. Damn why in the world do I have smoking eyes for if they don’t WORK! I have to get new contacts and we (me and the eye doctor) talked about me getting some surgery done where they permanently place a contact on my eye, it’s that or else they do the same operation that they do for people with cataracts.

In other news I have been enjoying my week off. I have been sleeping in. Damn I can’t remember the last time I slept in this late. My cousin had her baby on Saturday it was a boy and he is the cutest thing. His name is Alex did I mention that he was sooooo cute? Cause he is.

Jessica bought me the new J.Lo CD and I love it. I know Jenny from the Block can’t sing but I love “Get Right” it is my new favorite song. I ate at Chipotle yesterday and it was sooo yummy. This group of guys walked in and they where hitting on me and Jessica. Ha there is nothing like getting hit on but some random guys at Chipotle. Other then that I have nothing new to report. Ok I am off to go sit on the couch and watch season 2 of Sex and the City.

Oh No They Didn't

Oh i know they did not diss my honey like that. The WWE did not renew The Rocks contract. Poor thing he said that he is all hurt about it. I now know that the world is going crazy when one of their top wrestlers does not get his contract renew. Yes i know that resently he has not been wresteling as much as he use to but damn when he is on there he brings in a large crowd.  I mean look at him...damn he is hot. How could they diss him like that? Yes The Rock is to me what Derek Jeter is to Desiree.

Damn he looks soooooo sexy in this pic

LIVE WELL...LAUGH OFTEN

Finally an Update

Slap… Me: “Ouch, why did you hit me?” as I rubs the side of my leg. Caro: “ Because you need to update.” Can’t you feel the love?

Fat girl confession: Have you ever wanted to eat something so badly even though you know it is bad for you that you make excuses for it?

That is what I did on Sunday, I was on my home from school (yes, I go to school on Sundays) and I was hungry. I knew that it would not be long before I got home and then I could make myself something to eat, but somewhere in there I got a craving for Chipotle. So knowing that I should not be there and that it was “bad” for me I drove there. The whole time I was driving there I was arguing with myself until I convinced myself that I should eat Chipotle.

I got my burrito and went home to eat it and man was it good.

In other news on Friday night I went with Caro, Kate, Gabe, Denise and my Tia Margarita to see “Always…Patsy Cline.” It was a good show. I laughed a lot. Louise a character in the play is hilarious. I am not a big country music fan but I enjoyed the play and find myself singing some of the songs.

After the play we walked around Downtown for a little while and then we went to eat at the Samba Room. The food was good and the restaurant is beautiful but what do they have against light? The whole place was lit by candlelight and no I don’t have anything against candlelight but I would like to see the menu and my food please? If that is not too much to ask.

El Sabado (on Saturday) I went to school and then I went home. I know exciting.

On Sunday I uh…went to school and then home. I also went to watch the guys play (softball) on Sunday. When I got home from school all of the ladies were over at my house making quipes. Every time Caro comes home my mom makes her quipes just because she knows that Caro loves them.

After eating some yummy quipes I got ready to go the game (we have really cool home made t-shirts that we wear). All of the “ young” girls piled in to the minivan and we went to 7eleven and then on to the game. The guys won their first game but they lost their second game by one point. That’s all right the important game was the first one they HAD to win that one.

So why was the first game so important because it was against our reviles (and family members) and we just had to win. Oh that was quite a game. We yelled, cheered, sang, danced, talked shit, talked some more shit, and took pictures. It was great we had a great time. Then we froze our Asses off during the second game but we still had a good time.
Caro and her friend Kate went back to school yesterday and of course now that Caro leaves I go on vacation. Why does that always happen to us Caro? Spring break officially starts on Friday. Woot a whole week with out having to go to work. I have no idea what I am going to do with a whole week off. I think I am going to lie on my couch and watch the complete Sex and the City series.

Aww she is so cute!

 My Prima Clari's  Baby Gabriella....She is so cute!

Same Old

I know, I know I have been slacking on updating…it’s just that there is not much to talk about. I am currently looking for a new part-time job because the one that I have will be gone by the end of the year thanks to our president cutting the program that I work for.

Umm if I am not out looking for a new job then I am working on school work seeing as this is my last week of class and I have a ton of work to get done. Other then that the same old same old.

Caro and her friend Kate came over to visit yesterday. We watched an ooooold home video of Xavier’s 6th birthday and ate cheese fondue. After that they went to visit Nataly and I stayed home and did homework. That’s about it. I know I have such an exciting life.

I am

The School psychologist comes into work with the kids in my class once a week. She works with them on their “behavior” problems by using different activities this week she had them write an “I am” poem. Seeing as I was bored, I wrote one out as well and I thought I would share it with you. Now I am not a poet no where near it but I think this was a cool activity and the fact that they gave us prompts really help me so here it is my “I am “ poem

I Am

I am quite and kind.
I wonder about the world.
I hear the rustling of palm trees in the cool summer breeze.
I see the glow of Saturn’s rings.
I want to win the lotto.
I am quite and kind.
I pretend to be able to sing.
I feel warm as if kissed by the sun.
I touch the cool ocean waves as it crashes on to the shore.
I worry about my family
I cry when I hear about all the injustice in the world.
I am quite and kind.
I understand that laughter is the best medicine.
I say that everything happens for a reason.
I dream of graduating from college.
I try to read as much as I can.
I hope that I can accomplish everything that I set out to do.
I am quite and kind.

If anyone wants the prompts for that let me know.

Blue Ribbon Brownie

Just for Desiree here is an update: (oh and by the way i have been sick and umm busy at the same time that is the reason why i have not updated.)

On Saturday I went to WW and I gained four pounds. How in the world did I gain four pounds when I have been so sick the last couple of days that I have not been able to eat “real” food until late last week. Oh well I guess it’s time to get back on plan.

Let’s see what has happened over the weekend….New Jersey Guy (NJG) never called me, like he said he would. Oh well his lost. I have spent my weekend going out to dinner with my cool cousins. (Oh if anyone goes to Applebee’s try their new blue ribbonbrownie dessert. It is to die for!) Went to two baby showers on Saturday and then had dinner and a movie night at my tia’s. I spent Sunday dress shopping with Caro and then we eat dinner at Chipotle and then went over to my sister’s house to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. (I heart that show) Um I found out that my best guy friend is in love with me…um lets see what else…

That’s it, that was my weekend some where along the way there I was able to do my history homework (which I still have to finish) and had time to go out to Target to buy the last two seasons of Sex and the City that I needed to complete my collection. Yay I am so excited I now have the complete SATC series. I heart that show.

Also somewhere in there Xavier and Jessica decided that I was going to marry Jessica’s brother Jeffery. I laughed at this because last time I saw Jeffery he was 6 and I was 7. Jeffery is 22 and is studying Civil engineering. He is very cute and has a nice smile but the catch is that he lives in the Dominican Republic and has a girlfriend and I think they forgot the little fact that we know nothing about each other since it has been a while since we have see each other. They keep teasing me about this all weekend long. I know that it is all in good fun.

Fun on A Tuesday Night?

Well let’s see what has happened umm oh yeah I am sick…I have the worse cold ever and have been unable to eat “real food”. The only thing I can stomach is soup, crackers and pretzels. Oh and water.
Last night at the movies I tried to eat some nachos and I just couldn’t eat them. So I had to give them to Gabe. Well the only good thing about this is that I should lose some weight during this time. I have been doing 100 crunches everyday and 60 wall push-ups as well.

Last night I went to see “Be Cool” with Xavier, Joe, Caro (all cousins) Gabe (my nephew) and Jessica (my friend and Xavier’s girlfriend). We had a good time. I loved the movie. It was slow at some times but it was still a lot of fun. The Rock was *sight* sexy like always. Yes he plays a gay guy in the movie but damn he is one hot gay guy. When we were leaving the movies I noticed that I had 4 missed calls all from an unknown phone number. I check my voice mail and guess who called me? New Jersey Guy. He left me an umm how can I put it interesting voicemail. Something along the lines of “ Mami, why wont you answer my call?” wait a minute dude I don’t know you that well for you to be calling me “Mami” and second maybe if you dialed the right number I would talk to you.

I now realize that you guys have no idea who New Jersey Guy is so here is the back-story on that. My friend “A” has a brother (New Jersey Guy) she has been trying to hook me up with him since the summer. Well she said that she gave him my number and that he had been calling me and leaving me messages and that I would not talk to him or call him back. Well I NEVER received a call or message from him before last night. Now granted that in between the summer and now I did get a new cell phone and number, but she had my new number you think she would pass it on to her brother seeing as she wants us to hook up so badly. Well the funny thing about this story is that yesterday afternoon I was talking to Caro about how “A” was mad at me because I was dissing her brother but how she should not be so pissed at me because I had never received a phone call from him. Long and be hold looks what happens after I whine to Caro about it the dude calls and leaves a message.

Caro and Jessica both heard the message. Jessica says that he sound nice over the phone I think he sounds kind of uh I don’t know to explain it…not my type. Now don’t get me wrong I have seen a picture of this guy and he is hot but damn I am the kind of girl that loves a deep sexy voice and the fact that this guy has a high voice bueno that was just a turn off. I have no idea what Caro thinks because uh she did not tell me. So Caro tell me what you think? No I am not some shallow girl who is not going to give this guy a chance because of his voice. He said he was going to call me tonight so we will see how the conversation goes.

My students are taking the CSAP this week. It’s the state test that kids have to take. So they have been locked in our classroom all week and they are not suppose to be out in the hall unless it is at a break time. Well yesterday there were these two girls out in the hall way and I asked them what they were doing. They were on their way to their classroom, which just happened to be in the same direction as my classroom. Well they were walking to class and I was walking behind them when one of the girls told the other girl “ I think that teacher is so pretty” to which the other girl responded “ yeah and she can dress too”. Aww…I know that they did not know that I was standing behind them. That was very sweet of them to say that and it made my day. Well that and seeing The Rock.


Anyways so last night I got home after the movie hooked myself up to my bottle of Nyquil and sat down to talk to Jessica about random stuff. I told her about “ Use to be New York Guy but is now Miami Guy” and she just could not believe it. Miami guy is my Mr. Big and I will have to tell you all about him later on. Oh wait you guys already know about him, he is the cheater guy for the Sucias board. Jessica could not believe Miami Guy. Miami Guy has a deep sexy voice but I wont go there.

Ok I am done rambling off I go.

The Return of the Crazy Lady

Well i thought i should write about my weight loss journy because...uh that is what this blog is suppose to be about.

I have been slacking on the working out lately...I mean big time...the last time i worked out was uhh...to long because i can't even remember when it was. So i decided to return back to my workout plan. I am still working on writing out my new work out plan. So when i have it done i am going to post it on here. Tomorrow night i am going to go see "Be Cool" with my cousin Xavier and Jessica. I can't wait till we go to the movie and i get to see my other honey The Rock.

Why do i even bother

It's 1:41 in the morning here in Denver and I have not been able to stop crying for the last 15 min. In the last 24 hours i have been dissed not once but twice by people that i truly care about and i think somewhere along the day today a little piece of my heart broke. Why didn't anyone tell me that when you finally see where you stand in other peoples lives it was going to hurt this bad?

The first time i don't even want to talk about but that one stung the most. The second time pissed me off so much.

I am being replaced in my own house. My friend Jessica has come to live with us for a little while and already my family prefers her over me and the sad thing is I am not even made at her for it because i prefer her over me as well. She has the life that i have always wanted. At 24 she has graduated from college with a degree in medicen, she has loving and supportive partents, she loves her career, she has a large group of friends who love her and the love and addoration of a man who would do anything for her.

While I have no college degree have no idea what i want my career to be, have a mother who instead of supporting and encouraging me is constanly telling me that i can't do, so dont even try it. A wonderful father who loved me to death but has been so busy all of my life taking care of everyone else to even notice that i need him the most. Grandparent who can;t remember my name much less who i am. A family who pitys me. Friends who only call me when they are bored or have no one else to hang out with and guys well they just ignore me.

I am not a person who craves attention infact i have learned to live me life with the need for very little attention. I know that if i were to die today only six people would care and the i am no longer here. I don't see a reason for me to be here. I feel like i am only taking up space. I have not changed anyones live nor do i mean anything to anyone so why am i here. My life has no meaning.

I am just the lonely fat girl who is standing by the wall crying waiting for someone to notice her.

Pick Me Up Love

I wanted to Thank everyone for their lovely words of encouragement yesterday. Thankful today is a WAY better day. You ladie sure do know how to make someone feel good about themself. :) I kind of wish i could have you here with me all the time. I have to say that the highlight of my day yesterday was when Caro called me and asked if i wanted to go to Spain with her this summer. I have always wanted to go to Spain and to think that i can spend a whole month in Spain with my best friend/cousin and her super cool friend Irene was way to much for me to handle last night. I was so exicted about it my praents thought i was going crazy...lol...Now if i can only find a way to afford the trip. I want to go so bad that i will find a way to get there.

Quick Entry

I thought i write a quick entry to let everyone know how i am doing. So far so good. I have been drink lots and lots of water and trying to eat more fruit and veggies. It has been 2 weeks now since i last ate at Chipotle. No i did not go on Monday instead i went to Subway and had a nice turkey sandwich.

I have been doing light exercise nothing major but soon i am going to have to go back to hard core workouts. The other day i was looking at how my progress or i should say lack of i have been going to WW for 8 months now and during those 8 month all i have been able to lose is 6 lbs....6 lbs that is it.

The two ladies that i sit with there have lost more than me one had lost 32 lbs and the other 50 lbs and they start at the same time that i did. So it makes me wonder what i am doing wrong. I don't know what to do anymore. I have been eating healthy and watching my portion size and it seems to me like i am not losing anything. I know that i have lost inchs but it just seems to me like it is taking me forever.

I don't expect to lose a ton of weight over night but i would like to see some kind of result to keep me motivated. Right now i need some motivation. I am not ready to quit or give in but i need something to keep me going. So ladies i could use your words of encouragement today.

One more because he so hot.

Pic's

 Desiree said that she had to check Daddy Yankee out again so here he is...I know he is damn sexy pero he is mine so back off....lol
