Keepin' it Offline

My friend Julie called me yesterday and told me she was pregnant. In all her wedded and baby bump bliss, she also urged me to “Get myself out there!” and try online dating. You see, Julie met her husband on the Internet and has become the equivalent of a pushy abuela who won't stop worrying about my single status. I told her about Scorpio, hoping she’d back off,...

Stalker?

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 01/14/2010 - 13:43 | 3 Comments

It was a low-key Saturday night. I was home, tired from the workweek and shaking my bonbon the weekend before at LQ’s.  I may be an empowered 31-year-old, but I can't party like a rockstar any more! I lay in bed, flipping through channels, when my phone beeped indicating I had a text message. Maybe it was Mr. Alcohol, I thought.  He had stuck to the 3-day rule and...

Rock the Cradle of Love

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 01/12/2010 - 13:25 | 8 Comments

Sometimes I wish I were still 22. That way I could get with a cute 23-year-old without a second thought. The cutie in question was none other than Mr. Alcohol. After planting a smackeroo on his lips at LQs, he continued to dazzle me with his smile and good looks. It was his birthday celebration and that's how I found out that he had just turned a tender 23.

Taking Care of Me!

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 01/07/2010 - 14:41 | 3 Comments

I’m calling 2010 the year of Taking Care of Me. I’m eating fruits and veggies every day, sleeping enough, and following my career goals with passion, gusto and drive. In relationships, I’ve learned not to sweat the small stuff. If fulano de tal doesn’t call me back, then I’m not waiting for the telephone to ring! Instead I’ll go on my merry way...

Booty Fat

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 01/05/2010 - 17:05 | 21 Comments

After the holidays, people usually put on a few pounds. All that turkey, pernil and coquito has to go somewhere! This is great for me since I'm of the opinion that my booty needs a little more padding. More padding usually means I receive much more attention from my flavor of choice—Latinos!

With the inches around my hips and derrière expanding,...

Boys...Please!

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 12/31/2009 - 13:00 | 0 Comments

Tomorrow ushers in a new year and my romantic life has already started off with a bang. And by bang I mean an explosion of weirdness. To start off with, a bald, 50-something year old man totally hit on me while I was visiting my aunt in the ICU. As doctors were running numerous tests on my tia, he turned to me and said, "You look good! Real good!" What a sin verguenza!...

My New Year's Resolutions

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 12/29/2009 - 15:36 | 0 Comments

When it comes to romance, 2009 has been quite a learning experience for me. I finally opened up emotionally and expressed myself without fear. I followed my intuition even though everyone around me thought I was nuts. And once again I proved that I am one resilient chica.

With all these lessons down, I am looking...

One Day My Prince Will Come

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 12/25/2009 - 10:00 | 0 Comments

The holiday season can make me feel a little blah. I love spending time with my family, drinking coquito, eating pernil, and dancing to a good merengue ripao—but when its time for gift-giving my single status hits me like a ton of Santa’s coal. Watching my sister, brother and mother trade gifts with their significant others doesn’t give me the warmest feeling. I’m happy...
