Bravo Blog Round-Up: Real Housewives of Miami

The know how to write a good Bravo blog! I actually learned new information and was pretty entertained. Here's the good stuff!

Mom decided to stop by my office to check out the vibes and make sure there wasn't any negative energy lingering from the Smith and Wollensky event mishap. Her method of choice for cleansing was dry rice and perfume. I know it probably doesn't make sense to most people, but I believe implicitly in anything my mother does spiritually. Truth be known, she has never thrown rice on me before, so it was a welcome change. And who knows, maybe I will get married again and again and again...

The first time I met Rodolfo was at the hospital while visiting Alexia's son, Frankie. I often visited Alexia for hours at a time since she rarely left her son's side. On one of those visits, Rodolfo showed up. There was a group of at least six people in the waiting room that evening. A few minutes into his visit Rodolfo (unbeknownst to me) took a picture of me in the waiting room and posted it on Twitter. I was surprised when I received the notification since I didn't even know him. The next few hours went by as one would expect during a hospital visit, lots of small talk and stories shared in an effort to bring some much needed lightheartedness to a very sad scene.

When I left the hospital late that night, Rodolfo insisted on walking me out. He asked for my phone number under the pretense that he wanted to stay in touch with someone close to Alexia in order to get reports on Frankie's progress. He began texting me regularly after that. I never initiated a communication between us and often just responded politely or with the standard "LOL," which as everyone knows, actually means “funny dude, but leave me alone.” By the time the Swine and Wine event at the Biltmore came around, the texting had pretty much ceased altogether.

It was interesting to see the footage between Adriana and Karent. It was particularly amusing to hear that this text I allegedly sent Rodolfo read: "te echo de menos :-(." I have never written, uttered, or even formulated a thought which included those words. You see, Cubans don't talk like that. That particular saying is used commonly by Spaniards, some Mexicans, and certain South Americans, not Cubans. If I were to express that sentiment in Spanish I would say "te extrano" (which also means I miss you), but Rodolfo never gave me an opportunity to miss him, because he was constantly texting me.

Anyway enough about the wedding! Time will tell what will happen and where we stand... Aside from my wedding issues, I have to be in the middle of Marta and my fiancé, because all they have been doing lately is bickering. Romain complains she doesn't help around the house, and I am fed up with it, since I want them to be peaceful with each other, especially since they used to be really close in the past. I have no idea what has happened in the last year that they just don't get along anymore, but it breaks my heart. I can feel a terrible tension escalating on a daily basis. My sister is my best friend and I love her with all my heart. Even the thought of her not living with us kills me, because we do everything together (I mean almost everything for the dirty minds out there! Haha!). I am hoping Marta and Romain can work past whatever they are going through right now so we can focus on the fun and positive things in our lives. 

As I was saying, Karent's boyfriend, Rodolfo, had allegedly pursued our friend Ana. I was probing and trying to get to the bottom of this story, because I'm very sensitive to anyone getting cheated on. It's even worse having everyone around you know you are being cheated on, while you are the only one not aware. From personal experience I can attest that it is not a fun position to be in. Hence, my probing!

Watching Episode 2, you probably noticed my "red eyes" constantly, especially during the interviews. Well, I cried a lot during that time; I tried to put on a happy face, but there was a tragedy in the making. You will see as it unfolds. Looking back on it 5 months and 21 days later, it still brings tears to my eyes. It was a romance that ended in a tragedy like so many romances do. Enough about that for now. Let's put a smile on our faces and do what all “Housewives” do -- let’s talk about ourselves and “each other” (Housewife Qualification #2). You remember Housewife Qualification #1 -- let’s talk about "me."

After observing Ana and Alexia discussing the event at Smith & Wollensky, I must disagree with Ana in that I was not nervous or apprehensive meeting her. I was curious to finally meet the woman that has been flirting and texting with Rodolfo. (By the way, I have seen the texts from Ana to Rodolfo and vice versa with my own eyes.) I don't know anything else about Ana, and I look forward to getting to know her better and creating my own opinion about her instead of listening to all the rumors that have been said about her. Regardless of the fact that she was interested in him (I must say I can't blame her). After all, he is very good looking! I still want to come to my own conclusions. I believe she deserves that much. I would also like to clarify about the "older woman" comment. Don't shoot the messenger! I was just stating what was said by Rodolfo regarding Ana, and the fact that he is not interested in older women. Is she ancient? No, of course she's not. She is actually a very beautiful woman. But in his eyes, she is too old for him and his taste. Enough said about that...


After watching my visit to Lenny's office, I realize that it may have come across a bit territorial. I really am not worried in the least about what he does at his practice. He is incredibly professional, and I am very secure in our relationship. I simply wanted to pay him a visit and bring him the pictures I promised to put up…and take down! He has since moved into a new office building with massive amounts of wall space. I am so excited about filling it up! My nature is to be playful and making my husband laugh is part of the deal. I hope people understand my sense of humor and don't take it too seriously.
