Carlos Beltran and Other News...

Here I was in the middle of writing up this HUGE blog entry yesterday, when a coworker shouts "Carlos Beltran is in the family store, who's coming?" I'm a celebrity groupie, and I'm not scared to admit it. Well, not a full on groupie, I just say hi, maybe grab a pic and I'm out. Not trying to go home with anyone or be their stalker. Ironically enough, I work in an entertainment company and have yet to run into any well known Hollywood celebrities, but a sports celeb is shopping downstairs, go figure. So I get down there and my coworkers are milling around as if they really have an interest in the T7 that just came out. Carlos was checking out some digicams with two people including a woman that I was sure had to be his wife. My coworkers eventually outlived their star-struckness and left before I did, but I was determined to do something about this. Realizing I had my camera phone with me, I did what any Puerto Rican woman would do when a PR wife was around, I asked HER if it was ok to take a picture with him. I'm sure these wives get completely ignored by the women who run after their famous husbands, I didn't want to follow down there road. She looked delighted and soon enough I was locked in an embrace with Mr. Beltran.. yea, he's pretty hot, but you're sexier Ant!

Damn sunny setting on my phone.. we both look yellowish- brown lol...

So onto my original post, started yesterday....

Dumb Girl Gone Smart **wink**

Well, it looks like someone has wisened up (now I just need to get on the bandwagon in other aspects of my life). Girl! (who shall remain nameless but was referenced to in a previous post), I'm so proud of you for moving on from that dumb fucker... he wasn't worth your time. Please leave him in the dust...

In other news... I'm getting more photos from the shoot, I'll post them little by little.. maybe, haven't decided yet. I'm feeling "fuzzy", that's what I've been telling people all day. I feel like I'm here... but I'm not. No, there are no drugs involved.

This past weekend was productive.. Friday night I took a lonely stroll by the WTC downtown and wandered into Century 21 where I was able to think about all the things I would buy if my bills weren't haunting my dreams.

Saturday we brought back a family tradition and revisited the old country... well, upstate New York old country. Met up with dad and his crew of neighborhood kids and took the trip to Salt Point, NY where I introduced Isaiah to his first tree climbing adventure. I have vids of this, but I haven't had the time (or mental capacity) to dub the video, I'll get to it eventually. Here are the pics

I swear the kid was happier than he seems here.

See, just look at that smile (his, not mine.. I look like I'm trying too hard).

Even Anthony found his way to the treetop, I stayed as close to the ground as possible.. with this weird cloud of bad luck following me I'm not taking any chances. The little girl is Ashley, one of dad's crew.

A happy little urban farming family

He's a cowboy

Ever since Anthony nabbed those shades, he won't take 'em off!

Ah, no wonder - sun was beaming.. Note to self** don't hire dad to take any pics, his shadow will show up everywhere

I'd like to say I was drunk and that's why I agreed to this picture, but unless the cider was spiked....

That's better dad, stay on this side of the camera

I tell Isaiah, "Look you have four girls all to yourself today" to which he quickly responds by holding a hand to my mouth and saying, very seriously, "Shut up!" .. Fine, fine.. but I'll still squeeze you to death no matter how embarrassed you get.

Now you get to enjoy a small video production with footage from our ride

We didn't get home until 9 that night, longest apple picking trip to date, but one of the best.

Sunday morning I found my way back out to Jersey and tried reshooting the lost photos... since we never saw the originals I can't tell you if these came out better or not, but I'm liking them so far...

That's not my guitar, but it's convincing right?Who is up for giving me lessons?

Afterward I found my way to Sunset, and stopped by Marj's to chat on her stoop and talk shit like we did back in 8th grade. Crazy how the topics of discussion are so different ten years later. Crazy how things are so... serious and can completely alter your way of life. I enjoy being an adult but there are those moments where I just wish life was... easy.

Having not seen little Anthony Jacob (my former godson- how does one become former? long story lol) in what feels like years, I begged Anthony to locate the little cutey and we were finally able to track them down at Phat's house. Gloria's looking great, you'd never know she was pregnant a year ago. Kris and Ita were there too, but everyone shyed away from the camera except for these 3 .. check Jacob out, I think Imani has a new boyfriend

And we got video....
