Birthday Adventures in NYC: A Day Full of Laughs and Love!

-


What a day! 🎉 I just got back from an adventurous birthday trip to NYC with my family, and let me tell you, it was an experience! I thought SoHo was going to be a scene straight out of the movies, but nope… it was mostly walking, shops, and “luxury car spotting.” Rolls Royces and Lamborghinis were everywhere—like, whoa! 🤯 But despite the surprises, I had a blast laughing with my family, even if I had to apologize for bringing them all the way there. 😂


We strolled through the streets, explored Canal Street (hello, endless hustle of deals!), and soaked in the perfect weather. Honestly, it couldn’t have been a better day to roam around NYC. I even had my cousin with us, and she never goes anywhere! Plus, we survived the wild traffic in Chinatown—parking in NYC? NEVER again! 🚗🙅🏾‍♀️ Next time, we’re sticking to the bus, but hey, at least we had a good time.


After all the fun, we made our way to Hackensack to drop off my cousin, and then we proceeded back home. 🛣️ Once we got home, I treated myself to some chicken… which sadly wasn’t hitting right tonight. Ugh, even the fries were off! 🍟 Oh well, not every meal can be perfect.


Now, I’m fresh out of the shower 🚿🧴, kicking back with YouTube and a can of Dr. Pepper. As I scroll through my Facebook memories, I saw a birthday shoutout from my best friend, Mark, from a few years ago. Man, I miss him so much. 💙 And walking the NYC streets reminded me of my uncle Boonie—those were our stomping grounds. I miss him and my other family members who passed away in 2022. Losing them all in such a short time really made that “deaths come in threes” saying hit home.


But I’m grateful for the memories, and honestly, today was a beautiful celebration of life. Now that it’s after midnight, I’ve got to turn my attention to homework (yawn!) and prep for tomorrow. Oh, and I have a math test. 😳 Let’s just say I’m hoping for the best and bracing for the worst—wish me luck!


On top of all that, I’m playing pickleball for the first time tomorrow! I don’t even know WTF pickleball is, but I guess I’ll find out. 😂 At least I’m getting a ride from my mom again, since she’s going to the office. Perfect timing for me! 😂


Here’s to another year, full of love, laughter, and memories. Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes! 🎂💖

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...
