Row, Row, Row Your Boat

[2018] 197/365: Rowing Vigorously

I’m not too sure if I mentioned that I bought a rowing machine a while back. This is during my job searching days and was home all the time and I thought that buying this would help me get into the fitness routine again.I wish that I went and splurged a bit more for the more fancier one but this was a good, decent price and it’s good enough to get me there.

I usually leave this out in the other bedroom but due to all the holidays and special events people have been staying over and I always have to put it up. I finally pulled it out again and thought to challenge myself to do a hundred on the hardest setting and my goodness was it a challenge. But I did it!

Now let’s see how long I can keep this up. Twenty eight days makes it a habit, right? Like blogging everyday this year?

Dog Filled Day

[2018] 196/365: I Spy Bailey

Luna knows she’s not allowed on the couches at Scruffy’s house so it’s hilarious when we find her like this. Do you spy another dog in the background? That’s Bailey, Scruffy’s cousin’s dog. She’s the nicest, gentlest, and softest dog ever. I was sad to say goodbye to her.

As we watched the world cup, we ordered Domino’s. I wasn’t a big fan of the pizza and for the cost of the pasta and wings, I was disappointed. For wings and pasta with a nice pizza, fast food-wise, I’ll stick with PIzza Hut.

Rizzo will not stop staring at me once I got home. He misses his mummy! haha I’m sad I won’t see him again this weekend but I know he’s in good hands. Plus, I get to see Liliana! It’s been long overdue. We have some things planned but I just mostly want to catch up with her and talk about the wedding. It’ll be a mini-vacation for me too since it’s been awhile since I went somewhere and explored.

Busy Saturday

July 14, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Scruffy and I woke up this morning and ate my leftover pho and Chaurrasco’s for brunch. We got ready and headed to the rehab center where Mama is and paid her a visit since it’s been awhile since I last saw her. She’s up and walking with the help of her walker and brace but she’s doing great.

We stopped by World Market for literally a quick couple of minutes before we had to meet Caitlin, Rami, and Peyton at Pollo Bravo for lunch. Since we ate not too long ago, I opted for the Causa Rellena appetizer (way too dry) while Scruffy got the Pollo Quesadillas (not bad but if the salad was cassava fries it would of been perfect). Thomas met up up with us there and ordered to go.

After lunch I went and got a Milk Tea with lychee jellies at The Teahouse. Bad mistake because I asked for less sugar and got a watered down drink where half was ice. It was so horrible but for five dollars I tried my best to suck down everything.

We then headed to Caitlin, Rami, and Peyton’s where we played a few card games before they left to return a mattress and Scruffy and I left for dinner.

[2018] 195/365: Spicy Hot Pot

We weren’t too sure where to go but decided on hot pot at Little Sheep. Sissy and BIL met up with us at the spur of the moment and it was a fun last minute decision. After our bellies were full we said goodnight and headed home. I’m not too sure what we’re going to do now. I’m assuming telly and then bedtime.

I’m not ready for the weekend to end!

Me, Myself, and Kindle

After work I ran MANY errands. I haven’t had so much time to myself in such a long time. But truthfully, once I’m out, I rather stay out because once I’m home, I never want to leave. I picked up a Wetzel Pretzel Jalapeno Dog once I got to the mall. I’ve always wanted to get one and eat it while I shopped and I finally did. Someone, please tell me where I can buy a bulk of that dog. It was SO juicy and delicious.

[2018] 194/365: Alone Time with My Kindle

After my errands and shopping, my stomach was ready for a full meal. It’s been a while since I sat down in a public place, ate and read a book because I’m all alone. I actually enjoy it a lot. I went through one and a half chapters. So so nice and I had a lot leftover, per usual when I eat pho.

Later in the evening, Scruffy and I went to Churrasco’s. He just got some dental work done so he had to opt for soup. Luckily his other side worked and he was able to chew on some of my meal and more. I have so much leftover as well. Now I have two meals to finish.

Tomorrow’s going to be a long day but I’m excited to see little Peyton!

Free Popcorn

[2018] 193/365: Free Popcorn

Free popcorn is the best popcorn! Work went by quickly today which is always a plus and because of all the hours I accumulated I can leave early tomorrow. Eeek. I’m excited. I’m not too sure what my plans are yet but I don’t care. I have running errands and shopping in mind so we’ll see, we’ll see.
