My Life as an Irish American Girl

Friday June 22nd, 2018 was my birthday. It was a beautiful cool summer day. I fell in love with the weather because it's usually hot, humid and sticky on my birthday. 

Besides TGI Fridays my other favorite resturant is Applebees. But because of graduations and it being always crowded on the actual day of my birthday, my parents and I decided it would be better to go out the day before my birthday. My parents and I shared the Pretzel appetizer that came with beer dip. For my dinner I had chicken tenders and fries. The fries were delicious but I felt the chicken was mostly breadcrumbs with not enough meat. But it was still enjoyable.

On the day of my actual birthday, I went for a short walk then took myself out for lunch. There are two five star pizza places in my neighborhood that I LOVE. Victoria's and Knapp Street. I chose Knapp Street. Since I'm trying to lose another ten pounds, I just had one regular cheesy slice, and a can of pepsi.

When I got back home I checked the mail which had this package with my name on it. I opened it to find a blue pencil case inside. But the weird part of it all was that I had no idea who sent it to me until the next day when my Aunt Mo called me. Turned it's for my crocheting needles. She's also in the process of sending me a crocheting kit.

My mom suprised me with icecream for just the two of us. Nothing beats carvel. It just melts in your yummy in my tummy. She also brought home the cake that I ordered the two days before my birthday.

For dinner my dad and I made fried chicken. For the startch I decided to go with Egg Noodles since I had french fries the day before. As always it was a hit. My secret to making fried chicken.... HA you thought I'd tell you. 😂😂😂😂

Yesterday on Tuesday June 12th, I took a trip to JFK Airport. Wasn't flying anywhere though. It doesn't look that far on the subway. But when you actually start your journey on the F and the A train, it feels really LONG!

How I got there, I took the F train from Avenue X all the way to Jay Street Metro Tech. Then I went upstairs and transferred to the Far Rockaway bound A train. Well actually, I got on the wrong A train at first. The A train that was heading to Ozone Park. So I got off at Hoyt Schermerhorn and after waiting eight minutes, I was on my way to what I call my favorite place.

Fifteen stops later, I arrived at Howard Beach. Not only did the signs help me but I also followed the people with their suit cases. Obviously they were going to the airport. Before I could get through to the Air Train, I had to purchase a five dollar metro card.

I was very excited and getting goosebumps on my arms as a result of how happy I was. After ten minutes, the Air Train arrived at the Howard Beach station. When all the people got off, I hopped on and looked at the window. I got off at Terminal 2 and followed the people upstairs. I wasn't expecting to be allowed to get anywhere. Which I was right, I was only allowed to exit the airport or watch the people check in their bags.

After five minutes, I went back down stairs and waited for the Air Train. This time when I got on the Air Train, I took pictures of the planes. I'm sure people were looking at me thinking to themselves, "What is this girl doing?!" But I don't care what people think of me. Planes make me happy, it's my hobby.

So many different assortment of planes to look at. So awesome. Planes are really amazing. Although I HATE flying, I just like how cool planes look on the outside. The fact that planes are able to go around the world, blows my mind.

Here are some pictures from my adventure. Yes, I'll defiantly do it again!
