[2018] 207/365: Date with Interns

I went to lunch at Corner Bakery with Noah and Joel. I’m surprised that I actually liked the lunch! I had a free soup and dessert coupon as long as I buy a lunch so it was a big win! I shared the lemon squares because sweets aren’t really a big deal for me. I’m excited to eat here again because i get an employee discount too so it’s another win.

Scruffy came and took Rizzo after work. I’m excited to see him interact with Bailey. From the videos I see it seems that results to sniff her butt. Haha Silly boy.

Wraps and Wins

Baja Shrimp Wrap from Snappy Salads! It’s like ten bucks for the wrap with chips and salsa. They don’t fill up the wrap either so ii had mouthfuls of just wrap. And they don’t give you a choice if you want the chips and salsa either because honestly, it’s not worth the calories. I need to copy this recipe because it’s way too expensive.

I won my first thing at work today!! A cap with my work’s logo, hence the cross out. Noah and I put our names on the same sheet and were surprised we could still win.

Workouts, TVB, and Rizzo Time

July 24, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’m still sore from the crash (and all the walking from this weekend) but figured since it’s almost been a week it’s safe to start working out. I pushed through with rowing and kettlebells today. I’m hoping to add resistance bands and resistance loop bands in the routine soon. I really want to join a gym but I have nobuddy (get it? hehe) to go with. I need new friends but also #nonewfriends.

I’ve also been trying to go to bed early. So early that Scruffy called me around ten last night and I was already fast asleep. Don’t worry, I still picked up.

[2018] 205/365: Rizzo and TVB Time

Now it’s TVB and Rizzo cuddles time. It usually takes me a couple of days to finish a series and I’ve been watching this one for almost a month. I’m so behind!

Carb Overload

[2018] 204/365: Ashy’s Creamy Pesto Pasta

I finally got to see Scruffy tonight. I’m not even sure when we least saw each other so it must’ve been a long time (a week?). If you ask anyone who knows is they’ll tell y’all that we see one another at least once a week so it was nice to have that time to miss one another.

Ashy made creamy pesto pasta. It wasn’t a hot with everyone but I’m always down for anything pesto every though my whole fish was carbs with a side of meat. I wished there were some veggies but oh well.

I’m pooped and cannot wait to crawl into bed and snuggle up with Rizzo. Night everyone!

Pokemon, Gotta Catch Them All!

I had one of the best sleeps in forever. We had a king bed and pretty much stayed on our own sides. When we woke up we got ready and headed to the complimentary breakfast.

They even had a fancy automatic pancake maker. I didn’t care for pancakes but I also couldn’t not press the button and watch them perfectly fall out.

[2018] 203/365: Pokemon Master at a Gym

After we ate, we headed to the downtown shops hoping they we’re opened. We were there around nine in the morning so we kind of knew it was a long shot. We still parked the car and walked around and soon we we’re both catching Pokemons. I have recently redownloaded the app since I work downtown where there are more Pokemons. And since we were in downtown Brenham it was perfect. We took a long time catching them and I even battled for the first time with great instructions from Liliana.

By that time, some of the shops were opening and we got to buy little things. I was in love this little shop! It’s been a long time since I’ve gone to a bookstore and it was wonderful to go with someone who loves books just as much as I do.

We were starving soon and remembered about Truth BBQ so we headed there hoping they didn’t sell out. She’s not a super huge meat lover and I’m not a super big fan of smoked bbq meats but with five stars we had to go! We both agreed the TaterTot Casserole was the best and their brisket isn’t far behind. I wished Scruffy was with me because there was too much meat. That’s what happens when I want to try everything.

Lily took me home and we hugged our goodbyes. I’ve been lazy around the house and just now finished my new favourite meal, Salmon stuffed with Crab with Pilaf, which is easy and delicious. I ate that with a side of Chinese soap operas.

I have been extremely lucky to have such a relaxing weekend where we did SO much stuff together and created new memories. Something as easy as walking around little shops was therapeutic for me. I cannot wait for our next adventure and I hope it’ll take us sooner than later for the next one.

Now it’s time for bed. Night, world!
