Hello everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter! No matter if you are religious or not, it was a great weekend to be out! So you guys must be wondering what I did for Easter weekend hmmm?

Well let's start with Good Friday... 

Good Friday started out as a girl's night out to this new club in Brooklyn.

I went thinking it would be awesome... but then I realized it was not what I thought it would be... or better yet... it was not as fun and I was hoping it would be... a club filled with hipsters doesn't mean it's going to be hip if you know what I mean? But anyway... the stamps and markings of the club wouldn't go away so I had to keep the "stamps of shame" hahaha

Then after that, we decided to go to a small zoo in New Jersey called the Turtleback Zoo, which had an outside adventure course! So we actually "flew" on Easter on a zip line! 

Jesus isn't the only one who "rose" today... hahah! (Sorry that's the only Easter Joke I'm going to do!)

But the one thing I learned from zip lining is that I should not be afraid of doing something adventurous. In order to get the most in life, something you must do something you never thought of. When you do, your wisdom and view of the world will be better and bigger.

Then after that night and walking around Manhattan, a few girls friends went to New Jersey and had another night out at a few bars. A ton of weird stuff happened like a ton of guys taking an interest in little, old me... but half the time I felt old... (my catch phrase could of been "where is a good damn stool when you need one?!" LOL)

Then on easter morning, I helped made breakfast for the ladies and made awesome pancakes, such as a chili powder pineapple pancake and virgin mimosas! Yumm!

Once after we flew like super heroes, we went around the zoo, which had really cool animals like a red panda and wolves!! haha I even saw a white one and kept calling it ghost... GHOST!! GHOST!! COME TO ME AND LIVE IN MY WALL!! HAHAH jk

And that was basically my weekend... it was jam pack of doing new things, exploring my situation and finding the joys and adventures nearby me. On that note, I am happy to say that my lent is now over and I will be doing all the things that made my life hard the past 40 days! Woo hoo!!

Oh and by the way, had one of Ommegang's Game of Throne's booze. A-MAZ-ING!

If only I can have my own dragons... *sigh*

Till next time!

Sorry about not updating this weekend, everyone... I was trying to catch up and had plans... but I do have a super jam packed entry to make it up!

So I decided to take a random trip to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania! I thought it was the perfect place to get inspiration for a new comic I was writing. So I got my hate, sketchbook and purse and I drove all the way to Pennsylvania! 

This town is very unique... technically there are three sections... the farm like area where families are raised with cows and live stock, the casino area where all the commercial stuff exist, like The Melting Pot, and there is the college town (It's where Lehigh University is)

It's a unique blend of everything! But I specifically came to see cows and the suburbs!

I did get some treats for myself while I was there! I went to the town's historic center and found this very unique chocolate bar with bacon and potato chips in it! Very fancy! I can't wait to try it! And I wore the wrong kind of shoes for all the walking I did so I had to go to this thrift store called The Attic and got these cute sandals that happen to be in my size and style! So lucky to find them!

Then I went to this AMAZING Irish Tearoom called McCarthy's and my golly, it's my dream place! Pastries and irish breakfast tea everywhere! They even gave me a teapot filled of it! WITH A TON OF HONEY AND MILK OMG I WOULD COME HERE EVERY WEEKEND JUST TO WRITE AND HANG OUT HERE!!!

Also, their mascot is a deer and there are a tone of shields here. It's like I'm in the house Baratheon from Game of Thrones... soo cool!

And finally as a last minute pit stop, I randomly went to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. It was so cool and inspiring to see all the crayons being made and kids everywhere! It brought out the little kid in me!

 

Literally!

But from all of this, I am so excited to get all this inspiration and use it for something! Life is never dull and you should always look around and experience it! Who knows- maybe something you see is worth it to be made into a comic!
