2020 Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’ll always receive a cake on Valentine’s Day! It’s been a year since I’ve been on Reddit. Technically it’s been longer but I had to build a new profile when a crazy person found out who I am and stalked me on it. So happy cake day to me!

Work went by so quickly and so quietly. I was so happy I got a lot of work done especially since I’ll be out of the office for a few days next week!

I left work an hour early since I’ve been working a lot of hours and picked up wine and goodies as well as my orthodontics before heading over to Mallory’s.

It’s been somewhat of a tradition where I go over and hang out with her on this day since we reunited after college so I’ll take it as long as I can. I bought JJ a present, surprise Paw Patrol box and he got Chase. Jacob was all smiles today as well.

This year Beth joined in on the festivities. We had wine, chocolate covered strawberries, Wingstop, and heart cookies.

After a while John came home and we (John, Beth and I) headed to the Pokemon gym to fight some big shot. I rarely play unless on vacation but they needed the extra help. We met up with a guy named Brandon and we won. After a while hanging out, Beth and I headed home.

Ending the night with this little poopster is always my favourite. Will always cuddle with you and love you no matter how long you leave him.

Hope you all had a great Valentine’s day!

Grand Lux | Houston, Texas

I met up with Delisha after work at Grand Lux for happy hour. She was nice enough to wait two hours for me to get off work since she usually gets off earlier. It’s been awhile since we caught up. We spent over two hours catching up about life and work. There’s a lot going on with her and I’m excited to see the outcomes.

The food at Grand Lux wasn’t bad at all! I don’t mind driving back out there to try other things. My favourite is probably the potatoes mashed and wrapped with Chinese wonton wrappers. It’s kind of like potato skins … But way better!

Crumbl Cookies | Katy, Texas

Work was so crazy today that I had to cancel my lunch plans. Lunch plans that I rarely get to make. So when I get a text that Mallory picked up some cookies from the new bakery, Crumbl Cookies, my heart was happy.

She got Oreo, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Sugar Cookie with Almond Icing. I’m not sure what they are called but that’s how I’d describe it.

My favourite was the Oreo as there were little pieces inside. The chocolate chip was the worst in my opinion, a big let down. As for the peanut butter, if they put in chunks of Reese’s like they did in the Oreo, I think it would have been better. The almond icing on the sugar cookie was very overpowering but it wasn’t so bad.

Tiff Treats is still our number one favourite place but if we had to pick gourmet then I guess they could do.

Jacob fared well in my hands. I gave him back before he started bawling again. JJ has liked me more ever since I read him bedtime stories. Or maybe he’s growing up and realized I’m amazing.

Conversations that Spark Wonder

Yummy Seafood & Oysters | Katy, Texas | Beth & Scott

I got to introduce Beth and Scott to one of my favourite seafood boil place, Yummy Seafood & Oysters! They ended up loving the flavours and we had nice conversations about everything and anything, like other religions in the world not many people know about.

Scott and I went to high school together but we were in different circles. I remember his face but that’s about it. It’s such a small world that Mallory and Beth would meet and bring everyone together. Mum was so happy the amount I took back home and couldn’t wait to eat her share.

The General Public | Hopdoddy | Houston, Texas | Milos

I worked out while watching telly, picked up the pups from the vet dropoff and got ready to meet Milos at The General Public for a few drinks. After a bit of conversation I started getting hungry so we stopped by Hopdoddys for the burgers and fries. I learned a lot talking to him about people, life, and living. My own personal therapist as I joked.

The weekend is almost over. I’m not ready!

Hot Pot at Amelia’s

Today was a pretty great and relaxing day. I took Dad to the doctor, got a new car battery and spent the rest of the day doing practically nothing.

Hot Pot | Amelia, Chase, Juhi, Vijay, Yang, Mary, Miao, Daniel, Cameron, Caleb

I went over to Amelia’s to prep for hot pot night with her while we caught up. It was with some people from my old team and some of their significant others (Amelia, Chase, Juhi, Vijay, Yang, Mary, Miao, Daniel, Cameron and Caleb). It was so bizarre because Yang and Mary used to go to high school with me. They were only a year and two years younger than me!

Before hot pot, I brought my grill with me and we made some boneless galbi which everyone seemed to love so yay!!

Secret Hitler and Werewolf Board Games | Amelia, Chase, Juhi, Vijay, Yang, Mary, Daniel, Cameron, Caleb

After talking for a long while we started to clean up and went upstairs for board games that Daniel brought. It was a lot of fun and we played so many rounds that by the time I got home, it was almost one am.

I’m pooped and ready for Saturday! It’s going to be a great day to … So I hope.
