August with my Irish Family (Part 2)
On Saturday August 4th, my dad drove Aunt Lorraine and Eimear to the Green Acres Mall in Long Island. While they shopped, my mom and I spent some time together. I finally got her to purchase a bag for the wedding off of Amazon. When they came back, we had my delicious fried chicken with french fries. Everyone loved it.
On Sunday August 5th, Mom and I had nursery at church. After church we brought home a pizza from Knapp Street. Eimear and Aunt Lorraine thought the pizza was delicious. After Lunch, Aunt Lorraine and Eimear went for a walk to Dollar Tree in the heat wave. Thank God for air conditioners.
On August 6th, my dad, Aunt Lorraine and Eimear drove eight hours to Niagara Falls. They were their for two days. They got home late on Wednesday night. I was a sleep cause I was sick with a cold.
On Thursday August 9th, Aunt Lorraine, Eimear, Dad and I went to the beach. It was a beautiful very warm day. The waves were calm and the water was so relaxing. We swam over to this sand dune basically a mountain of sand. This time I wore a shirt over my swim suit so that I didn't get another sun burn on my shoulders. That was my favorite part of the beach.
On Saturday August 11th, It was a rainy day. Aunt Lorraine, Eimear and my dad drove up to Hyde Park in Upstate New York. Mom and I picked Renae up at JFK Airport then we drove into the Lower Manhattan to help her get settled in her apartment. She was starting her first year at Kings College. We went out for dinner at this unusual pizza place. The pizza was okay. I'm picky when it comes to pizza. But I'm glad I tried it. That evening, mom and I had a cup of Irish tea. Shortly after wards, Dad, Aunt Lorraine and Eimear came home.
On Monday August 13th, The four of us took the Q train to 34th Street Herald Square. We transferred to the F train and took it three stops to Roosevelt Island. Once we got out of the train station, we walked a block to the Roosevelt Island Tram. Which took us to Roosevelt Island. That was a fun ride with an amazing view of the city. For lunch we had Chikfila which was delicious. I was never a fan of their chicken but their waffle fries are amazing. Then we walked up to the St. Patrick's Cathedral. Inside the church was beautiful. I love the mosaic art on the windows. In the rain, we walked to do some window shopping in the American Girl store. It brought back so many memories.
On Tuesday August 14th, I don't really remember what we did that day. But I honestly think we went into the City again.Only because of how much I walked that day. Regardless it was another great day.
On August 15th, My dad, Aunt Lorraine and Eimear got up early in the morning and drove to Camel Beach. A water park in Tannersville, Pennsylvania. They had so much fun going on the different slides and enjoying the waves in the wave pool. Mom and I went out to Knapp Street II for lunch. After lunch I finished running some errands. It was a great day.
On Thursday August 16th, It was a relaxing day. We didn't do too much. It was an indoor day.
On Friday August 17th, We drove to Cape May, New Jersey. Eimear and I helped the best men carry boxes of flowers to the fifth floor where the reception area was going to be. At four in the evening, the rehearsal took place. We met the wedding planner and her helper. After the rehearsal, we attended the rehearsal dinner. Ryan handed out gifts for the best men and the father of the bride and groom. Victoria handed out pretty robes for the bridesmaids. After dinner, we drove to the KOA Camp Ground where we stayed for the two nights. Eimear and I went swimming in the outdoor pool. That was a lot of fun.
On Saturday August 18th, Aunt Lorraine, Eimear, Mom and I drove to the Nail Salon in Cape May. All the girls including the bridesmaids (Tori, Marisa and I) and the moms, got their nails done. Both a mani and a pedi. I got both my finger and toe nails painted gold. We made a quick stop to Walmart where my mom bought sunscreen and cold medication. Mom and I drove to the Doctors Inn where the Bridesmaids and the bride were getting their photos taken by professional photographers. I felt like a celebrity. After the photo shoot, us bridesmaids waited in the lobby with the wedding planer's helper. I started the line of bridesmaids. I walked down on the sandy aisle as the photographers took my picture and video of me. The ceremony was short and sweet. More pictures were taken on the beach and by the water. We made our way to the cocktail hour on the fifth floor. I don't drink so I just had a coke. The reception was beautiful and a lot of fun. I gave a speech and danced off my dinner which was chicken tenders and curly fries (special meal for bridesmaid Chlo). For the end of the wedding we lit sparklers. That was a LOT of fun.
On Sunday August 19th, Early in the morning, Uncle Lou, Eimear, Aunt Lorraine, Mom, Dad and I drove to the Mad Batter for breakfast with my Aunt Mo, Uncle Tony, Cousin Diane and Cousin Patrick. It was a lovely restaurant. I just had french fries. After breakfast, we drove back home. For dinner we had Victoria's Pizza. Safe to say Eimear loved it because she had five slices. It was a quiet evening.
On Monday August 20th, Dad drove the three of us to the High Line in Lower Manhattan. What a fantastic view as we walked across what used to be a train station. After the High Line, we walked six blocks to Diary Queen. Don't know how, but some how I ended up with a large cone and I managed to finish the whole thing. The three of us walked around and took the Q train home from Union Square. To this day I have no idea how I ended up there. That was a beautiful not so humid day.
On Tuesday August 21st, The four of us took the Q train to Atlantic Avenue then transferred to the 5 train and took that to City Hall. We took a picture at this famous Court House where we saw the TV show Instinct being filmed. As we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, Eimear and I stopped to take a picture with these two police officers. Officer Rourke is a handsome man. *blushes* I have crush on a cop. We made it acrossed the bridge into Brooklyn. At Jay Street in downtown Brooklyn, we had McDonalds for lunch then we walked to the Packer Institute to show them where I work. The found it to be interesting. On our way home from downtown Brooklyn, Eimear and I played in the playground by my house. Finally my mom arrived and we drove to Roll'n Roaster for dinner. For dessert we had Cold Stone. Talk about delicious ice cream.
On Wednesday August 22nd, we got up at the crack of dawn and drove to Liberty State Park in New Jersey. After going through security, we made our way onto the ferry which took us to Ellis Island. Took us two hours to tour Ellis Island which was filled with lots of history. We boarded the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. As I ate my five dollar bag of popcorn, we walked around the park then Eimear and I climbed the 195 steps up to the pedestal. Aunt Lorraine took the elevator. As much as I don't like heights, this view was absolutely mind blowing. Going back down we took the elevator. We took the ferry back to New Jersey. For a late lunch early dinner, we had Applebees. First time you see me with a happy plate.
On Thursday August 23rd, My dad dropped Aunt Lorraine and Eimear at Kings Plaza to shop for an hour. Afterwards, we went to Popeyes for lunch. When we got home I helped Eimear bring all her stuff and suit cases downstairs into the livingroom. Early that evening, Dad and I drove them to JFK Airport where we hugged them and said goodbye.
On Sunday August 5th, Mom and I had nursery at church. After church we brought home a pizza from Knapp Street. Eimear and Aunt Lorraine thought the pizza was delicious. After Lunch, Aunt Lorraine and Eimear went for a walk to Dollar Tree in the heat wave. Thank God for air conditioners.

and I watched Rampage with my dad while my mom took a nap. Once my mom woke up
from her nap, we played a quick game of UNO. Eimear and I helped peel potatoes
for dinner. My mom prepped the London broil. As soon as my aunt got up from her
nap, she and Eimear went shopping at Kings Plaza Mall. While they were
shopping, my mom and I had a nice time talking while we drank our tea. It was a
quiet evening. We watched Family Feud and some other shows on HGTV.

August with my Irish Family (Part 1)
On Monday July 30th, my Aunt Lorraine and cousin Eimear came to visit from Dundalk, Ireland. While my dad circled around the airport, I greeted them inside the airport at the baggage claim. Since Eimear is so tall, I was able to spot them right away. It took a few minutes for the luggage to arrive, not long after that we were on our way home. After we dropped off the luggage, we drove to Nathans in Coney Island for dinner. It was one of the must haves on Eimear's list. But first we took a walk on the Coney Island Board Walk. No matter what time a day it is, there's alway tons of people and plenty of cops.The chicken and fries were very good, but unfortuantly the fries were too salty. As soon as we walked inside ITS SUGAR, Eimear's eyes lit up, as she found a giant cherry flavored gummy bar. When we got home from Coney Island, my aunt and cousin opened up their luggage to get the assortment of candy and other gifts from Ireland. I got two bags of Giant Buttons (I ate them all), Two giant bars of Cadbury Chocolate (I gave one to the Love Birds), two eight packets of Freddos Cadbury chocolate, a personalized pillow and a puzzle of Ireland.
On Tuesday July 31st, Dad, Aunt Lorraine, Eimear and I road the train into the City. First we took the Q train to Atlantic Avenue then we transferred to the 2 train and took that to Clark Street (Brooklyn Heights). We took this really WIDE elevator to the top and walked to the water where we got an amazing view of Manhattan. We made our way back to the station and road the 2 train three stops to Fulton Street(Manhattan). The view of One World Trade Center and the Oculus was mind blowing. I love the Oculus because it reminds me of a mohawk. The four of us took a breif moment of silience for the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack at the 9/11 memorial. After walking to what seemed like forever, we made our way to the Irish Hunger Memorial. The Irish Hunger Memorial is Memorial that reminds us of the year 1845 when the Irish went through the potato famine. All these rocks represented every county in Ireland. My family lives in County Louth. Just three miles from the boarder that seperates Northern Ireland from Ireland. We made our way to the Staten Island Ferry in Lower Manhattan. A big Boat that took you from Manhattan to Staten Island and back. In Staten Island the four of us found a Dairy Queen for lunch. After lunch, we made our way back to Manhattan where we took the W train to Canal Street (China Town) and walked to Grand Street to catch the B train home. In total we walked seven miles that day.
On Wednesday August 1st, Eimear, Dad and I went food shopping at Stop n Shop. Afterwards, we got our bathing suits on and drove to Rockaway Beach in Queens. When we got to the beach, we placed our towels on the sand and applied sun screen to our bodies. Then we sat down as the waves washed on top of us. The life guard came over to us to remind us not to go too far into the water because the rip tide was high. My dad and Aunt Lorraine got knocked over a few times which was made me and Eimear laugh. As we were having fun, the life guard came over to us again to tell us that the seagulls were eating our bag of chips. Eimear and I ran over to our spot and put the chips in one of the beach bags. That was a really fun day, but the sand got EVERYWHERE! After showering, thre four of us went to Wendys for lunch. The nuggets and fries were delicious. We went to Aldi to do more food shopping, and then Aunt Lorraine, Eimear and I walked to Payless where they bought sneakers. That evening for dinner, for Take Out Wednesday, we had Chinese food from China New Star. It was as always very delicious.
On Thursday August 2nd, the four of us drove up to Scranton, Pennsylvania. First we stopped at the Walmart in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania to do some shopping. The only thing I bought was deordorant on the go which was shaped as an egg. After checking out, we went to Arbys for lunch. As a big fan of Arbys I have to say the food was delicious. We made it to the hotel in Scranton. After settling in, we drove to the movies. Eimear and I watched Hotel Transylvania 3 and the other two watched Mission Impossible. I enjoyed the movie. As dad waited in the parking lot, Aunt Lorriane, Eimear and I went to Hobby Lobby. A great antique Christian owned store. For dinner we went to Olive Garden. I don't go to Olive Garden often since it's expensive. The fettuccine was delicious. For dessert we got icecream at McDondalds.
On Friday August 3rd, we drove fifteen minutes to this Historic Coal Mine where we got an hour tour of what it was like to work inside the mine. Afterwards we drove two hours to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to see the Love Birds (Ryan and Victoria). For dinner the six of us went to the Long Horn. Which is a resturant. After diner we drove back to the Love Birds apartment and hung out with them. Aunt Lorraine, Eimear and I gave the Love Birds a gift to celebrate their soon to be wedding. I gave them a book to help their marriage stay together. This was the first time Victoria met Aunt Lorraine and Eimear. Honestly I the three of them liked each other. That night after saying goodbye to the Love Birds, we drove the long three hours back to New York City.

Tuscarora + Reputation Tour + Bridal Shower = A FUN week
On Saturday July 14th, my parents and I drove to Tuscarora in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania. When we arrived, and got settled into our hotel, my parents took a nap and I went outside over to the swings. After spending ten minutes soaring into the trees, I walked over to the gift shop and did some window shopping. After exploring the gift shop, I went back to my room, and quietly sat on the lounge chair. After an hour went by, my parents woke up and walked to the dining room where dinner was being served. Dinner that night was London Broil, baked potatoes, string beans and gravy. The London Broil and gravy were delicious. Once we finished eating, we went to the chapel where a Christian concert was being held. The concert was enjoyable. After wards mom and I went to the Snack Shop where I got my first chocolate and vanilla rainbow sprinkles mixed milkshake. When I tell you it was delicious, I mean it was DELICIOUS!
The next day my parents and I walked over to the chapel for church. After church I signed myself up for two different electives. A Self Defense class and a Do It Yourself art class. The Self Defense class was everyday Monday - Thursday but I only went Monday and Tuesday. On Thursday I attended the DIY class which was fun.
At lunch on Monday, I got a text message from my Aunt Jena. She asked me if I wanted to go to a Taylor Swift concert with her on Friday. Of course I was very excited and told her YES. Originally I had tickets for Saturday, but I couldn't go that day because I had plans come up.
On Monday and Tuesday for an hour and fifteen minutes, I went to my Self Defense class. Sensei John taught me and five other people how to take down trouble makers. I learned different moves and where to punch and kick the person. It was really fun I feel like I can take anyone down who things there slick. Lunch on Tuesday was cheese Ravioli! (AMAZING) and then for dinner we had a BBQ which was DELICIOUS!

Wednesday night, we had a Old Hollywood themed party. They had popcorn, vanilla ice cream, assortment of chocolate candy, juice and water. For entertainment they had bouncy houses for the kids and trivia for the teens and adults. I actually got an Oscar for coming in second place in the trivia game.
On Thursday I went to the DIY class. We painted wine glasses which was fun. Mine didn't turn out the way I liked it to. But it still looks good. I thought that was fun hope they have the class next year. It's always a sad moment in time when you have to leave Tuscarora but I'm happy to say that as always I had a great time. Late that evening we arrived back in New York.

Late that evening we arrived back in New York.
You guys have no idea how hard it was for me to keep calm. This was my first Taylor Swift concert. My first time seeing her live. My Aunt and I rode in a limo to and from the concert. Never been in a limo until that day! I will never forget that moment.
That evening at the concert, Jena and I went to the merchandise table. They had t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, tour books, and glow sticks. Jena got a tank top and I got a T-shirt and a tour book. We got our glow in the dark bracelet and our special wrist bands that were for floor seating ONLY! As we walked onto the floor, we almost fainted. Our seats were in Section 5 which was VERY close to the stage!
Finally after what seemed like forever, Taylor Swift came on. I couldn't believe I was really seeing her live. I must have pinched myself three times. The crowd screamed in excitement. I screamed and waved my hand in the air. She sang a lot of my favorite songs and songs I was new too. But when I tell you her voice and her singing was amazing...believe me it was WOW!

Here are SOME of my favorite songs. Ready For It, End Game, Look What You Made Me Do, Bad Blood, I Knew You Were Trouble, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things.
I took some really good pictures that makes it look like we were closer than we were. If I could describe the Reputation Tour in my own words, I would defiantly say it was AWESOME, AMAZING and it BLEW MY MIND AWAY! She put on a great show and besides the old times when One Direction was touring, I've say Taylor Swift was one of my favorites. She loves her fans and is down to earth.
After getting just after midnight, I stayed up for thirty minutes before I decided it was time to get some sleep. Saturday morning, I ate my breakfast and had my cup of tea before my mom and I left for Harrisburg.
When we arrived in Harrisburg, Mom and I checked into our hotel and then we drove in the rain to the Brew Festival. Everyone had umbrellas and we some ponchos. It was a surprise bridal party for Victoria. I donated a dollar to support our troops in the military and got a necklace made out of edible pretzels.

After spending an hour in the rain, we decided to head to the Brewery where we could stay dry. A place where you could try different beers and have food. My brother bought me a coke in a mason jar since I don't drink. While the nine of us socialized, mom and I played Connect Four on this jumbo wooden board. She sadly won but it was a lot of fun.
For dinner we drove to this expensive restaurant called Cafe Fresco. Which is a Thai food place. It was very quiet and clean inside. They marked our tables with red velvet cupcakes with our names on a toothpick. After looking through the menu I found something that I would eat. I ordered plain panko chicken breasts with french fries. It was delicious. My brother called for a toast at the restaurant. He thanked everyone for coming and celebrating him and his beautiful soon to be wife.
Sunday morning around eleven, Mom and I went the the Love Birds apartment to decide where we should eat. As we finished our tea and watched the Love Birds open their gifts, we all decided we should go to the Capitol Diner. Victoria, her cousin Tori, Ryan, Mom and I went out for brunch. I got the London Broil and french fries with gravy. It was delicious. The rest of them got breakfast for their brunch.
Here's some pictures from my crazy fun week!
For dinner we drove to this expensive restaurant called Cafe Fresco. Which is a Thai food place. It was very quiet and clean inside. They marked our tables with red velvet cupcakes with our names on a toothpick. After looking through the menu I found something that I would eat. I ordered plain panko chicken breasts with french fries. It was delicious. My brother called for a toast at the restaurant. He thanked everyone for coming and celebrating him and his beautiful soon to be wife.
Sunday morning around eleven, Mom and I went the the Love Birds apartment to decide where we should eat. As we finished our tea and watched the Love Birds open their gifts, we all decided we should go to the Capitol Diner. Victoria, her cousin Tori, Ryan, Mom and I went out for brunch. I got the London Broil and french fries with gravy. It was delicious. The rest of them got breakfast for their brunch.

Independence Day 4th of July
Yesterday Wednesday July 4th was Independence Day in America. The day where Americans celebrate the day the United States became a free country. Millions of people in all fifty states celebrate by watching the fireworks being lit when the sun goes down.
This 4th of July, In New York City, was particually hot. Last year it was much cooler. My mom cooked burgers, hot dogs, couliflower and french fries for dinner. I don't eat fruit or veggies but the burger and fries were delicous.
Once the sun went down, my mom and I went outside on our deck to catch an amazing show of fireworks. My brother built this really big, comfy storage box out of wood. I sat on that as I took pictures and enjoyed the show.
Those of you that live in the United States, I hope you had a great 4th of July! God Bless United States of America!

27 Years
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. 😂😂😂😂

After dinner my mom made the tea and I got the candles out for my cake. Amazingly I found a 2 and a 7 candle. Keep in mind, this cake was not an ordinary one but a very pink cake. Pink is my favorite color.
My parents started to sing, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Chloe! Happy Birthday to you! And many mores!" Then I blew out the candles.
Apparently I was in charge of cutting the cake. Cutting icecream cake isn't easy expecially when it's still a little frozen. But I managed to get three slices. Had mom cut her own cause my fingers hurt.
For my birthday I got the first twelve books to the Dork Diaries series. There are a total of twenty four books apparently. My dad got me tickets to see Taylor Swift next month. In my opinion, I think you get a better view at the top then you do on the floor seats. So I am happy with the seats my dad chose. My brother Bren just ordered me a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap. He already got me the jersey for Christmas. Maybe he'll get me Justin Turner for Christmas this year 😂(I can only dream)
Another birthday bitest the dust. But another chapter opens up. Let us see what God has in store for me for my 27 years on this earth.

Plane Adventures
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!

Weight Loss Update
Losing weight is never easy. We can all agree that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. It's been a tough two months in my journey to hit 180. But I'm happy to say I lost a total of six pounds. I started at 224 and dropped down to 217. Now my goal is to hit 207 pounds.
One of the biggest motivations right now is Ryan's wedding. Being a Brides Maid, I want to look good in my dress and of course be able to walk with out thigh pain. (Happy to say I haven't had thigh pain in two years) My other motivation is being able to fit into clothes and smaller sizes like a large or a medium. Since 2012, I had to shop in the plus size department. XL and 2XL which is something I want to eliminate in my life. If I can fit into a L or a M size clothing. Plus being able to fit into a new swim suit, my life would be complete.
My third motivation is my job. Those of you that don't know about my job, most of the time it's two hours while other times it can be five hours. That's how long I'm on my feet. Being on my feet for that long does hurt my back, but it also gives me the time to stretch out my legs while I'm standing. Which shows how badly I need to get in shape.
One good exercise I've been doing five days a week, is climbing up and down New York City Subway stairs. Defiantly a good for your legs because you are putting pressure on your legs as you walk up and down.
Next time I give you guys an update, I hope to be 207 or even better 200. We will have to wait and see what God has in store for me. If you have any questions about my weight loss journey, please feel free to ask me, I am more than happy to answer your questions.

Past Two Weeks - Mother's Day
It has been a long couple of weeks. But it's been a good couple of weeks. Happy to say I've been keeping myself busy during the week. Everyday, Monday through Friday I listen to music on Spotify while I eat my brunch before I go to work. I found a song that I really LOVE. If you like country, then you will love this song.
Song Title: Meant To Be
Artist: Bebe and Florida Georgia Line
If you've ever been bullied, or been mistreated by your boyfriend or husband, then this song is perfect for you.
Last weekend was May 5th. My brother Ryan and Sister In Law Victoria (8-18-18) came for the weekend. They went to a Yankees Game at Yankees Stadium in the Bronx.
My Mom and I went to a Fund Raiser Dinner. Her Best friend Barbie invited us. Some of Barbie's church was going to go to Ghana and Ireland to missions trip. Barbie went last year and loved it. The dinner was delicious. We had baked seasoned chicken, and potatoes. I must have had fifths, that's how good the chicken was.
That evening, as we watched Family Fued (a game show) my brother treated me to Cold Stone. When I say it was heaven, it was heaven. Chocolate and Vanilla with chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. Out of this world delicious. The last time I had Cold Stone was probably two or three years ago.
That Sunday, May 6th, Ryan, Victoria, Mom and I went to a greek diner in Bayridge for Lunch. The food was okay. But the company was lovely.
This weekend, Saturday to begin with, my mom and I are going to a Bounce U birthday party. Henry and William are celebrating their birthdays. Henry is turning 5 in two weeks and William just turned 3 on April 3rd. Golden Birthday Babe.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day here in America, New Zealand and Australia. A BIG Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms in New Zealand, Australia and America. I think we would be lost without our Moms. We will never know why Mother's Day is different in Europe. For some reason they celebrate Mom Day in March.
Happy Mother's Day to my Momma! I know I'd be lost without her. She's the best Mom in the world. Always works her ass off.
Honor your Mom's tomorrow!

Mom's Birthday
My brother Ryan texted me at 8:30am on Friday and I read it at 9:30am cause I'm not an early bird. He wanted to surprise my mom with flowers before she got home. So as last minute men think, they resort to the person they know won't say no. That person happened to be me, his sister. Another thing last minute men say is what he said to me, "I couldn't get them delivered." Keep in mind he could've but he waited till the day of to do it. I happily went to the flower store to do a good deed. Mom LOVED the flowers and the note that he wrote too. (To be honest he did write the note I just typed it up to it was visible for mom)
After work my parents and I went out for dinner to a Steak House called Outback. It's an Australian restaurant. They have french fries which they call Aussie Fries) I got the usual chicken tenders with fries. My Mom got the ribs and my dad got the ribs with BBQ chicken. I tried his chicken and it was DELICIOUS.
My brother Brendan bought brownies and cannolis from a famous bakery called Michael's. My parents and Brendan watched Jeopardy. Then I made my mom Rasberry Tea and myself regular Irish tea from Ireland.
On Saturday evening, Aunt Amy and my two little cousins Henry and William came over for dinner. Brendan made a delicious baked chicken with mashed potatos and gravy.
After dinner we taught Henry how to play the card game UNO. He won the first round and Brendan won the last round. Then we had a cup of tea with Carvel Ice Cream Cake.
Have to say Mom had a great birthday!

Its Been Awhile
It's been a while, but I got a new job. Been busy adulting. Making my dough so I can live. I love my new job so that's the postive side of adulting. The negative part of adulting is having to roll out of your comfy bed.
Let me be random for a second. Isn't it weird that The pizza is a circle, cut into triangles and put into a square box? Just let that sink in your mind.

Baby Betta Fish
On Saturday, my dad and I went to Petco to get more sisters for Rhianna and Ashley. After asking a Petco expert if we could mix baby Bettas with full grown Bettas, we went over to the section where they had many different types of baby Betta fish.
This time Dad and I picked two Bettas we never heard of before. One is a Koi which is a Siamese fighting fish. The other Betta is a Elephant Ear. Two beautiful unique fish. The other two are the same as the ones we started with back in May of last year.
Sydney is a wide white Elephant Ear fish.
Betty is a baby pink fish. She's the size of a new born baby's finger.
Skylar is a navy blue baby fish. Same size as Betty.
Violet - is a wide pink mixed with a hint of purple.
I have an Australian pen pal friend who lives near Sydney. In honor of my friend, I decided to name one of my fish after the capital of Australia.
Now the moment you all been waiting for! *drum roll* Pictures of these beautiful Bettas. Just to let you all know, I had to zoom in on Betty and Skylar because they are very small and hard to see.

Hump Day In The City
It was suppose to be a rainy nasty day in New York, but instead it was a beautiful warm day. Let me define warm. Warm in the spring time is 50-60 degrees. In this case it reached 50° which felt really nice. I still had my winter coat on because it was breezy and plus I didn't want to get sick.
At 9:15am, I woke up and texted my dad to see if it was raining in the City. FYI for those of you that aren't from New York, instead of calling it Manhattan, we like to use the term City. Anyway, my dad confirmed with his work buddy that it wasn't raining. So we decided to meet up for lunch on his lunch break. Not a very healthy choose, but it's delicious so we ate at Wendys.
My dad and I used to have our lunch date at Steak n Shake which was around the corner from his job. But now it moved to lower Manhattan. Let me get off topic for a second, RENT is VERY EXPENSIVE in the city. Especially ten short blocks from Times Square. Okay rant over.
Left my house at 9:50am to catch the 10:08am bus. Usually it comes early but this time it was late. But it wasn't a problem I managed to catch the train and get to where my dad on time.
We walked three blocks to Wendys, I got us a table upstairs in the resturant. He had a delicious burger and I had nuggets, fries and a small frosty. If you never been to Wendys, then you have to go and try this DELICIOUS frosty.
After I walked the sixteen blocks from my dad's job all the way to West 38th, I went into 7/11 and grabbed a cup of lipton tea. Then I found a bunch of benches outside Holiday Inn that were opened to the public. I was only five blocks from Times Square. One of my favorite places in the City.
That's when I took out my photography skills and snapped some pictures on my walk. I love walking in the city because I can get things off my chest. Expect you have to be a fast walker, cause everybody walks VERY fast like they are in a hurry. (Never understand why NYC people are like that)
