Walking With Rizzo

January 2, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 002/365 | Rizzo & Mellie Dee Walk

[2018] 002/365: Freezing On Our Walk

It’s been freezing outside. Rizzo and I are usually huddled up in my room. He’s asleep in bed wrapped with comfy blankets while I job search while watching telly. We went on a glorious walk out in the freezing cold around 5 PM. We did our thirty minutes before heading home for an ab workout. Easy peasy. 2018 is going well for the working out to lose weight front … except it’s only the second day of doing so. We’ll see how long I last.

I have my interview tomorrow at noon. I’m nervous since after the interview, I’ll be handed a test to see my skills. If you know me, you’ll know I’ll be able to do the work, but once you slap the word “test” or “exam” on top, I’ll fail. Sigh, wish me luck.

2017 New Year’s Eve

January 1, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

You know how people do the picture of the day type deal on Instagram? I want to do the same but knowing me I won’t keep up with it so we’ll see how well I do with putting it here on my blog.

[2018] 001/365: Where Sleeping Beauties Lie

A recap of last night into the new year follows:

Scruffy and I were able to celebrate together this year. He came over with Luna and we spent it with my parents, June, Rocky, and Rizzo.

We had hot pot for dinner.

Scruffy and I learned how to play Mahjong … I won big!

Lit up the sky with fireworks.

Trying out that cotton candy champagne fad for funsies. Happy 2018 y’all!! Here’s to the new year, new happy memories. . . . . #newyearseve #newyear #champagne #cottoncandy #foodpic #foodie #foodblogger #blogger #houstonfood #boomerang #melliedeephotography #melliedeeeatery

Drank champagne and rose. Cotton candy champagne fad verdict: color change was cool to see but it didn’t add any sweetness to the drink.

Scruffy and I played Mario Party and then he went to bed with the pups while I searched for jobs. The next morning we went and got lunch at Los Cucos, one of his favourite restaurants for a Chimichanga. We walked around the mall a bit then went home, played a round of Mario Party before parting ways.

It was a busy but fun night which will stay in my memories forever. Here’s to more happy memories ahead!

2018 New Year Resolutions

December 31, 2017 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Recap of 2017 New Year Resolutions

  • Focus more on health and fitness
    • What a joke. I did none of that. I was more focused on being lazy and shoveling food in my face.
  • Read more
    • I definitely read more this year, thanks to the Kindle, but I will say I read more in the beginning of the year than the end.
  • Travel somewhere new
    • Japan layover for Vincent and Rachel’s Wedding
    • Illinois and Wisconsin for Sarah and Jacky’s Wedding.
  • Blog at least once a week
    • Total failure on this. I was lucky to get even one a month!

My 2018 New Year Resolutions – pretty much the same as last year

  • Get a job and get off unemployment
  • Refocus on health and fitness
  • Continue reading more
  • Travel somewhere new
  • Blog as much as possible
  • Save money for a new place

Fix Coffeebar | Houston, Texas

December 21, 2017 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Fix Coffeebar | Houston, Texas

Currently sitting in Fix Coffeebar and contemplating about life. Parking was a nightmare. All the spots were reserved and Fix only had like two that were for to go orders. I had to park on the street which if you know me is scary for me. Every second I’m wondering if my car is going to be hit or stolen.

My last week of work was December 15th but since it was my Friday off I actually left at lunchtime December 14th. Angie took me and Tony to Saltgrass Steakhouse as a goodbye present for all the years we worked together and Delisha joined us.

Fix Coffeebar | Houston, Texas | Chai Latte & Croissant

Chai Latte | $4.50; Croissant | $3.00

Lattes all cost about the same nowadays. Good thing this one was a yummy one. But that croissant price kills me but I guess it is huge and was delicious. Yum. I probably won’t ever come back out here since it’s so far from home which might be a good thing with these prices.

I’ve since filed for unemployment and put in my application to buy healthcare. I feel so accomplished yet like I’ve taken fifty steps back. It’s been pretty nice sitting at home and not having to worry about the people I used to work with though I do get texts/calls from them freaking out or asking me questions.

Fix Coffeebar | Houston, Texas | Wooden Wall Mural

I was told this wall mural was cut and dipped in coffee and wine by the owner. How cool is that?! I love it. I’d like to have one of the world on my future wall where I can pin up postcards and such.

I’m told to just ignore them when they ask for help and let them fail so then the company would have to ask for my return but I know that everything will be okay. Everything is always okay. I’ll be seeing some of them in a few minutes for Happy Hour. We’ll see what’s up. I’m sure someone will be venting about work-life for a bit.
