Back

What up migente? you guessed it i am BACK! I had a good time and actually had fun which i something i did not think i would be saying. I took some pic's and i will post them soon. I hope everyone is doing well.

Going to Kentucky

Caro: "Did you just say you are going to Kentucky?"
Karla: " Ah ha"
Caro: " What?, Why?"
Karla: " For work."
Caro: " How long are you going to be there?"
Karla: " Four days."
Caro: " Damn"

Yup that is right I am going to Louisville, Kentucky I will be there till Tuesday night. I have a conference out there which should be a lot of fun. I am kind of excited to go because i love to travel and see new places. My co-worker is coming with me, so at least i will have someone to hang out with while i am there.

To end this post i wanted to share this image with you. I usually don't post political items on here but this one is funny.

Where did you go?

So a few days ago I am running down my blog roll reading all of my dear blogger friends blogs when.... *GASP* Tannia's blog is GONE! Yes, GONE, I tell you i check a few times and it is still missing. I know she said that she was thinking about no longer blogging but she did not mention anything about taking down her blog. Then just as i was adjusting to a blogging life without Tannia, Shelley blog disappears as well. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE? Where is everyone going?

Does anyone else other then me ever wonder what happens to your blog friends once they are gone? I sit here and think " I wonder how that turned out" or " Are they getting married?" just random questions that pop into my head. I know it is hard to put yourself out here for million of people to see but i think it is an honor when someone lets you in to their life and shares a piece of themselves with you. Does that make sense?

No i am not drinking! or on drugs!

O.k before i go i just want to say Shelley and Tannia come back!! or stop by and say "Hi" let us know you are ok. I miss you guys.

Glitch

Way back in January I told you guys about some changes that I had to make in my life. Well I have been working hard on those changes and January was a good month for me. February sucked,to put it simply. Now here we are in March and after some hard work I am back on track. I am going to do all that I can to stay on track. I am sorry for the lack of post but umm my life is boring.

Baby Karla

Yes, I am alive and i actually wrote a entry to post but i am being lazy. So instead of my wonderful post you guys get some just as wonderful baby pic's of who else me.

I know, I have a BIG head and my mom had to show off my big bald head by clipping a hair clip on my big bald head. Besides that my dress is fierce and did you see those shoes? So hot. I will also like to point out my then blue eyes. Do you see that people? they have been "light" since I was very little.

Damn, i look good for being a few hours old. Do you guys see how i rock the mohawk at 1 day old. Do you see that? Look at that pose. I love the camera. I had dreams of being a supermodel since then. I'm still working on them.

Que Bonita Bandera

Get ready to PARTY! Today is Independence day for my beautiful island. Feliz dia de la Independencia Santo Domingo.

I'm Back

I'm back from my meeting. Pueblo was ok, it is a small city but i had a nice time here are some pic's.

Union Avenue Historic District.

HARP River Walk.

The weather was really nice down there. That is why that lady is wearing shorts, in February!

The sign as you enter the city. I have no idea why Pueblo is the home of heroes, if anyone does please let me know.
South Pueblo Street Gallery, this place was really cool because there was a ton of cool art all over the place.

Martin Luther King Museum

Going to Pueblo

So here I am getting ready to leave. I will gone until Saturday. I am going to Pueblo for a meeting. I have never been to Pueblo before so, I will let you know how it goes.

If i keep traveling like this i am going to see all of Colorado before the end of the year. Which is cool with me because i love to travel.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Did You See?

Did You see my honey Daddy Yankee on the cover of Latina Magazine?

If the answer to that question is no then, umm you need to get on it and check it. I will warn you that there are some VERY sexy pictures of him in there and also that he is taken. I claimed him a LONG time ago.

Also there was a really good article about him in New York Time Magazine last week.

I will try to find a copy of the article and the cover so that i can share it with you guys.

Until then go out and buy a copy of Latina Magazine.

Step into the freezer

No matter where you live in Colorado, walking outside today will not be pleasant.

Why you might ask because it is FREEZING cold outside. After MONTHS of warmer then normal weather, mother nature decides it is finally time to give us a little snow.

This morning a thin glaze of precipitation was on the ground which just made everything look dusty and unclean when you combine it with the slush that was left over from yesterday.

It is suppose to keep snowing like this until Tuesday. I can’t complain about it really we have been having really nice weather lately and yes I am aware of the fact that I live in COLORADO, all I am saying is that I had forgotten just how cold it can get out here. So while you are out and about today people remember to bundle up.

They are REAL!

Karla is working in the staff work room making copies when co-worker comes in. Co-worker and Karla talk for while and then this happens.

Co-worker: "OMG, you have green eyes!"
Karla: "Ah ha"
Co-worker: "Wow, they are beautiful and so green."
Karla: "Thanks."
Co-worker: "Wow, they are so beautiful."
Karla: "Uh, Thanks."
Co-worker: "Are they real?"
Karla: "What?"
Co-worker:" Your eyes are they real? Is that your natural eye color?"
Karla: "Yeah."
Co-worker: "Don't you wear contacts?"
Karla: "Yeah."

After I explain to my co-worker that I am blind and I need my contacts to see but that my eyes are naturally green, she still did not believe me so I ended up taking out my contact just to prove to her that my eyes are in fact GREEN.

A few days later Karla is in the office waiting for her boss when she feels someone run their hands through her hair.

Karla (turning around): "What the?"

Co-worker: "Oh I am sorry; it is just that you have such beautiful hair."

Karla: "Thanks."

Co-worker: "It’s so long and shiny and thick and black."

Karla: "Ah ha"

Co-worker:" Is this your natural hair or a piece?"

Karla: "umm no it is my natural hair."

Co-worker: "Really, because it looks like doll hair."

Again Karla has to explain that her hair is bueno her hair. The ironic thing about this in counter is that Caro told me the same thing about my hair about two months ago.

Caro: "Girl, you hair is so shiny."

Karla: "Umm it is?"

Caro: "Yeah it looks like doll hair."

Karla: "No it doesn’t."

I guess Caro was right, which by the way she told me “See I told you so.” When I told her about this incident. After my co-worker ran her hands through my hair the rest of the staff felt free to do the same which means that Karla now wears her hair up ALL the time.

I dont know why everyone thinks that my eyes, hair, boobs and butt are fake but they are not. It has gotten so bad that i need to carry my baby pictures with me.

In fact I just wanted to make one FINAL statement that my hair, eyes, butt and boobs are REAL. So now please stop asking me where I get my hair done, where i get my contacts and who my plastic surgeon is. Thanks!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Caro, Happy Birthday to Caro, Happy Birthday dear Caroooooooooo, Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!!!. Yup you guessed it, it is Caro's birthday today so stop by her blog and wish her a Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday

I know you are all recovering from my last post but i wanted to say " Happy Birthday" to my favorite papi chulo Daddy Yankee! I will post about something that happened to me soon.

El Papi Chulo List Part 4

Yes, I know i said "coming soon" and it has not been soon enough but here it is (FINALLY!) El Papi Chulo List Part 4. Enjoy!
Daniel Sunjata
Everyone should take a second right now and say "Thanks Shelley" for it was through her blog that i found este papi. Daniel here is on "Rescue Me" and he has been in a few movies like "Brother to Brother". I thought he would be a very nice way to start off the list.


Juanes
Ok, I know what you are think. " What?, Really Karla? I mean really?" and YES i think Juanes here is un papi chulo. He has the whole bad boy rocker thing going for him and i for one LOVE it.


Antonio Banderas
What can i say he's un papi.


Rob Thomas
Rob is not really my type, pero Caro loves him and i could NEVER figure out why. That was until the other day when i saw an interview with him and by the end of it i was saying " aww. now i see why she loves him"

Jake Gyllenhaal
Go see "Jarhead" and it will all make sense.


Laz Alonso
Here is one more reason why you should see "Jarhead" este papi cubano is also in it.


Eduardo Verastugi
So "Chasing Papi" wasn't the best movie, but that has nothing to do with the fact que este tipo es un papi.
ChanningTatum
I sat through all of "Coach Carter" going "damn y este papi, who is he?" Thanks to Google i found out who he is. Channing here also did some modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, Nautica, Gap, Aeropostale, Emporio Armani, and can also be seen in the upcoming movie "Havoc".

Kamar De Los Reyes
I know some of you are going "who is that?" Kamar here is a soap star. Soap as in " One life to live" where he has been heating up the small screen for some time now. My sister Elisa LOVES him, and that is the only reason why 1. I know who he is and 2 she watches "One life to live".


Wilson Jermaine Heredia
No, i am not obsessed with this "Rent" cutie. It is not my fault that he is a papi.


Tyson Beckford
If i need to explain why Tyson is on here then umm we need to talk.

George Clooney
George is the older version of El papi chulo. No, Caro i am not stealing your Martini Man.

Gael Garcia Bernal
Ay Gael, Gael, Gael. Just look at him and you know why he is on the list.


Nick Lachey
I don't know what Jessica was thinking this man is HOT!


Mario Lopez
I use to love him way back in the days of "Save by the Bell".

Kerr Smith
I am going to be honest with you here, I have NO idea who he is but damn does he look good in that suit.

Chris Evans
If you saw the "Fantastic Four" then Chris here will be familiar to you.

John Leguizamo
John here is on this list because he cracks me up and any man who can rock a wig and heels like John did in " To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar" deserves to be on this list.

Eduardo Xol
I am a HUGE "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" fan, so Eduardo is on here not only because he is HOT but because he is part of that show.

Boris Kodjoe
Ay, just look at him, those lips, that smile. (sight) Ay dios i need a break.


Ok i am back......




No, i am not hold on.





Ok back...let's continue with the list.

Patrick Dempsey
McDreamy he is.


Ryan Phillipe
Este mango me lo como verde, maduro como caiga.



Blair Underwood
I dont even know where to start.



So, here is a new section to El Papi Chulo list it is titled "Que Lindo" (How Cute) because this kid is just soooooo cute.

Wilson from Mad Hot Ballroom
By the way Mad Hot Ballroom is a GREAT movie and if you have not seen it you need to get on it and rent this movie. You are going to love it. Anyways back to the list, Wilson here is soooo cute not only does he have the MOST beautiful eyes i have ever seen but the boy can dance.

So that is the list for this time. Believe it or not there are still papi's left for a part 5 but we are going to have to wait on that one.

Coming Soon...

Ok Chicas, you can all thank Reese for this one. I was inspired by her Land of Hot Boys to post El Papi Chulo List Part 4. I do have to warn all of you that this list is bigger and HOTTER, then ever. I do ask for you to PLEASE be patient with me, with all these papi's around i find myself having to take breaks more often than usual other wise i dont think i would make it :) So keep your eyes open for the next installment.

Back in the Day

I have nothing to post about ( I know my life is SO exciting). So here is a pic of a cute kid.

Happy Anniversary

Caro: “ Karla, Hurry up we are going to be late.”

Karla: “ I know, I am almost done 5 more minutes.”

5 minutes later

Caro: “ Karla lets go.”

Karla: “ I am coming.”

Karla looking for her shoes.

Karla: “ Umm has anyone seen my shoes.”

Caro: “ No”

Karla: “ Damn it, I am going to be late for my own party.”

Karla: “ Nevermind I find them, ok lets go.”

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES!!!!!!!!

Last Nights Dream

I know that this is not going to make sense to anyone but Caro and Gabe but here you go. This morning I woke up laughing from a dream I had. Now normally I am not the type of person who remembers their dreams but I remembered this one clearly.

Fast forward to the future, where we see Karla cooking in her kitchen when one of her children comes in.

Child: “ Ma”

Karla: “ Yeah”

Child: “ Ma, could I ask you something?”

Karla: “ Ah ha go ahead”

Child: “ Mami, why do you hate me?”

Karla: “ Que?”

Child: “ Why do you hate me?”

Karla: “ Baby, I don’t hate you. Why do you think that?”

Child: “Umm, because you picked a crazy women to be my nina”

Karla: “ First of all don’t call your nina crazy, and second of all what in the world are you talking about?”

Child: "Ay, look”

Child points to Caro dancing in the living room.

Karla: “ Ha, Ha, oh man that is funny, your nina is in no way crazy because she is dancing by herself.”

Child:” Uh, Ma there is no MUSIC.”

Karla: “ So”

Child: “ So she is CRAZY.”

At this point Karla’s second child walks in.

Child 2: “Mami, she is doing it again.”

Karla: “ Who is doing what again?”

Child 2: “ Nina Nataly, she is flirting with my friends again.”

Karla:” Ay dios mio.”

Karla: “ NATALY”

Nataly: “ WHAT?”

Karla: “ Get away from that child.”

Nataly: “I wasn’t doing anything?”

Karla: “ Ah ha, I am sure you weren’t just get away from the child.”

Nataly: “ Fine”

Child 2: “ Umm, what are you and mom talking about?”

Child 1: “ How my nina is crazy”

Karla: “ She is not crazy, now get out of here both of you I have to finish cooking.”

Child 1 and 2 ignore Karla and keep talking.

Child 2: “ Dude, your nina is not crazy I mean just look at mines.”

Child 1: “ No man, my nina is crazy, I mean just look.”

Child 1 points to Caro who is still dancing in the living room by herself with no music.

Child 2: “ Umm, wow ok you win she is crazy”

Child 1: “ You see I told you.”

Child 2: “ Why is she wearing a fur coat?”

Child 1 : “ Because she is phucing crazy.”

Child 2: “ Oh, and what is up with the shiny shoes?”

The Wind of Change...

...is blowing and i can't keep ignoring it. There are a few changes that i need to make in my life. I should have made them a long time ago, but out of fear and because i did not want to let go of certain people i decided to ignore the signs that kept telling me it was time.

I wish i could make these changes without having to let go of some people, but i need to make them. I need to stop interfering with my life and just let what is suppose to happen, happen.

I can't no longer keep putting my life on hold for other people.

I once saw a sign in a car shop ( yeah i know out of all place a car shop) that said " It is never to late to be, the person you might have become." well it is time for me to stop holding my-self back and become the person i am suppose to be.

It's time for me to step into the wind.

This in no way means that i am going to stop blogging.

So Long 2005, Hello 2006!

Hey there strangers! Hows it going? Things have been going ok over here. Christmas came and went. I had a good time, ate too much, danced a lot, laughed and enjoyed the holiday. Caro has pic's up on her blog so go check them out.

I am a little pissed at Santa, I asked for Daddy Yankee this year and umm i did not get him. I think Santa got lost on the way to my house. :)

We went up to Vail for our traditional after Christmas trip. Had a lot of fun ran in to Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake at Los Amigos. Cameron is very nice and even waved and said " hi" to the 18 dominican people around her. We then went up to Avon. OMG i did not think that i could love a place more then i love Vail but Avon is winner. When my aunt said we were going to Avon i was expecting to be attacked by women with lipsticks and blush, but that was not the case. It sooooo beautiful up there.

I have been enjoying my two week vacation from work but i am ready to go back to work. I know, i never thought i would say that but i am. I am starting to get a little bored of being home.

New Years was fun a little more low key then Christmas but it was still fun.

In a way i am glad that 2005 is over. It was an ok year not as bad as 2004 but not the best. I do have to be thankful for 2005 because during that year I learned a lot not only about myself but also about my family and people in general and i am grateful for those lessons that i learned.

Best quote from 2005 goes to my tia Margarita and her husband Bill:

Maga: " The cop's don't deserve to know everthing because there are thing and then there are THINGS, if you can handle it on your own then handle it." We were talking about drunk drivers.

Bill: " The best way to lose weight is to get salmonella, you lose like 10 lbs in a month."
On his weight lost plan for after the holidays.

Yes, my aunt and uncle are CRAZY.

Mark your calanders, January17 is the one year anniversary of Real Women Have Curves, I am going to have together with Reese to plan the party :)

Also to start 2006 out with a bang i have a profile pic....Red from Fraggle Rock!

Bueno I hope everone enjoyed their holiday's and I hope that 2006 bring all of you many good things.


Oh and i did not foget you ladies during the holidays and i even got you a gift. Here it is a pic of my cousin Javi in Iraq. Enjoy!
