Books, Books and more Books!

I love reading. I have books up the wazoo but I have come to realize that I have been purchasing more books than I can handle....yikes! I said to myself that I was not going to buy any more until I have read them all completely. I have like a good two months worth of reading on my dining room table. Right now I am reading "Friday Night Chicas". Its a book of 4 short stories about how Latinas spend their Friday Nights. I wish my life was as exciting as theirs are....:-(

Anywho.....I am trying to begin the introduction to the book I want to write but yet I can't decide whether or not I should write a memoir or a novel based on my life.... I guess all of us want to write a book about our lives because we feel we have gone thru stuff that others might not have and maybe we can shed some light of why we r who we r today. I emailed two different versions of my intro to my darling cousin who nows says she wants to do the editing when I finish the draft to my book...how sweet is that. I trust her judgement so we will see.
What I really have to do is make the time to actually get some writing done. Once I start I can't seem to stop but with work and home it gets a bit tedious. I have to learn how to discipline myself and thats where I have a hard time. I have to start somewhere. As I write I will post bits and piece on here just to see if what I write makes sense to me. I don't even make sense to me sometimes.....lol....

Well, a brief update on "J":
We are still dating, if you want to call it that except I have not seen him in almost two weeks. He has been busy and I have been busy and well honestly, I just don't know what to make of it. I am gonna ride it out for a little while longer and see what becomes of it.

Ok, off I go to finish the book I have now so that I can get to the pile on my table....food for thought huh...lol

Oh, Happy Birthday Bobby!!! (My bro)

Weekend Short...

The last time I went to have dinner at Uno's was maybe about two years ago. I absolutely love Uno's. I think they have the best apps and deep dish pizza. I went to Uno's on Friday with a girlfriend of mine. We got seated at a booth with a view of the parking lot....now where did all the papi's come from. I never realized that Yonkers had cuties. It was great eye candy, I must admit. But can someone please explain to me the "Reverse Couples" syndrome....Argggghhhh!
I gave it this meaning, a "Reverse Couple" is when one of the two is 200 times better looking then the other. People please....how is it that some of us women find it so hard to attract a good looking man yet we run into hot papi's who are arm in arm with women who are just butt ugly. Ay Dios Mio.....Is love really that blind?? We ALL wonder this...I am merely saying it outloud...lol.
Bueno, back to my weekend. Dinner at Uno's was great, we didn't even have room for desert. We drove back into the city and couldn't find anything to do so I figured we would go check up on my son just to make sure he was not doing anything he shouldn't have been. He was staying at his friends house for the weekend. Well, he actually behaved and was where he was supposed to be so that ended that search. My friend and I still didn't want the night to end and it was already about 11pm so we headed to Brooklyn to meet up with the guy that I am dating. We went, didn't get lost either so thats always good. My friend met him and thought he was cute...hehehe. He is cute. We stayed for maybe ½ hour then headed back home. Corny right...oh well. That is the story of my life.....lol

On Saturday I got up at 12pm, I slept about 10 hrs. I didn't realize how worn out I had been...geez. Pilates is kicking my ass. Anyways, I spoke with "J" (my datee) and we decide to meet in the city at 6pm. We were supposed to hang out with my cousin but he wasn't feeling well. I got there 15 min late but hey, he owed me. As a matter of fact, I still have about ½ hr of lateness credit with him. On our first date he had me waiting for like 45 min....so waiting 15 min for me wasn't gonna kill him. We headed back to my place for dinner and relaxation....wink, wink. Got up Sunday morning at about 10am, took a shower, got dressed, walked"J" to the train station then I called up my friend and we drove to Boston, for the hell of it cause we were bored. Geez, I really need a life. The day was beautiful and looking at the Folaige as we drove was amazing. We had dinner with another friend when we got there then headed back. I made it back in three hours which is pretty good time. My back was shot though...I couldn't sleep all night. The most sleep I got was on the train ride to work. Que Sueño.......zzzzzzzz.

Now after writing it all down, my weekend didn't seem so interesting....que se va hacer. At least I enjoyed it, can't complain there. Next weekend my girlfriends from Boston are coming down to hang out here so that should be fun. Vamos a ver. Bueno, eso es todo por ahora......

Caio!

Some "Me" time

So yesterday I took my first Yoga class and geez did it hurt....Yikes. Now maybe its because I am a thick girl, obviously not skinny, but Lordie what pain!!!! I really enjoyed the breathing excersizes and meditation but the poses we had to do were a killer on my knees. I will try another class and see if it was just because of the fact that I had never done it before, if not then I guess Yoga will be out for me, at least for the time being. I am doing well with my Pilates Class and I love it. So I guess now that I am starting to get into the workout routine then things should begin to fall into place....pun intended...lol.

A little update on my love life. The "ex" that was coming into town a couple of weeks ago never showed, couldn't make it in for some reason. I really don't care. My "sex fix" can wait. Anyways, I met a guy who is younger than me. He is 26 and I am 31. Now I know that some may say "Oh please, it isn't much of an age difference" but with the past experiences that I have had, this was in issue for me at first. Our first date was very casual, I figured if it didn't go well then hey, I am out! That wasn't the case though. We clicked. He is smart, kind, funny and a gentleman. Here is the thing, we are complete opposites. Not my "type" of guy. I believe everyone has a preference as to what kind of person they date or what they look for, well, he is neither of what I consider to be "my type of guy". I usually date the polished, shirt and tie wearing kind of guy. This person's style is that of a 50 Cent video....the baggy pants, big shirt and Du-rag....let's just say he is "Ghetto Fabulous". He is so much fun though, I enjoy being in his company and best of all is that we understand eachother, or at least it feels that way. He blows me away with his intellectuality and completely stimulates me mentally. WHooshhhh!
Well, we are having fun and that is all that matters right now. That is all I am going to say about that.



Starvation calls right now so off to lunch I go!! Muah!
