Two Hot Dawgs

My role model

I never liked roller coasters. My fear was especially heightened when I watched Final Destination 3, which showed a roller coaster going off the track in the first scene. I know the chances of that are so slim, but I feel like it would happen to me. We went on the Thunder Bolt & Wonder Wheel, both of which tested my ability to hold down my lunch. I expected this from the Thunder Bolt, but the Wonder Wheel really caught me off guard. There are two different types of carts you can choose from, one that remains stationary and one that slides. Natalie suggested we get in the non-stationary one, but the moment we started to go up, we realized this was going to be worse than we thought.

As we were trying to snap pictures of each other with the beach in the background, we were jolted against the cold metal cage that surrounded us. Before we could compose ourselves again for another photo, we were again met with whip lash from the Wheel of hell, but this time we were thrown backwards. This is not your average Ferris Wheel despite its cute demeanour.

On this day, my hyperhydrosis was in full affect, especially since the humidity was out of hand. I decided to cool off in these fake palm tree sprinklers. It wasn't until I ran past the lady wearing a medical mask, that I was concerned that my health would be compromised by this, but I couldn't resist letting loose like a kid again.

Natalie is addicted to taking photos and you must always be camera ready around her. She is always just like pose Stephen, which gives me major anxiety. Luckily for me, "I don't get cute, I get drop dead gorgeous," just like my fellow queen, Alyssa Edwards.



Photo booths are essential to capture moments with friends. Natalie and I squeezed into a Photo booth and when we got out, we were surprised to get a little extra present with our photos. While this provided us with a good laugh, I became pissed since they had fun & silly borders that we missed out on.

Food Glorious Food

I think one of my top passions in life is eating. I mean don't you ever just want to lay in bed and cozy up next to a nice bad girl sub from Ram's Deli Plus (a Fordham 2:00 a.m. drunken hot spot) while listening to Shania Twain on repeat? This is a common occurrence in my life and I highly recommend trying it.



When we first arrived to the Smorgasburg, we were greeted by our friend in the photo above. I have eaten some questionable meats in my life, but I was not ready to try his barbecue. After this entrance, I was skeptical about what the day had in store for us, but still excited to have a treat yo' self day with my bestie.

The Brooklyn Smorgasburg is truly heaven for those looking to indulge some delicious food. Natalie was trying to be a healthy girl this day and it made me feel uncomfortable because I was looking to stuff my face.

She ate a salad wrap, which literally felt like betrayal. Who goes to a food market and says let me get a salad wrap? I can't help but think that Natalie may be the only person who says,"oooh I am craving a nice wrap made up nothing but some sad soggy leaves with a touch of sadness." This trip turned into a real life episode of Veggie Tales (Natalie was of course the talking cucumber).



While Natalie went for the healthy option, I decided to buy truffle fries with an avocado dipping sauce. My reaction to eating the fries was basically just reoccurring "mhmmmmm" sounds after each bite, followed by Natalie rubbing my tummy while we laid in the shade. It was truly pure bliss.
