Where did my readers go?
Just because...
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 fiancĂ© 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.

New To Denver
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
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
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.

Confessions over bowling.
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
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
Who was your first crush? How old were you?
His name was Hector he was my sister’s friend I was 7 he was 17…I have always liked older men. :)
Do you like corn?
I heart corn.
If you were stranded on an island, what celebrity would you want to be stranded with?
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
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.
