Disco Pink Nails

I painted my ugly nails Friday night in pretty disco pink. But today, I picked it all off by the end of a two-hour-long lunch meeting.

Crawfish

June had the week off from work and surprised us with a crawfish boil.

I was too stuffed to run so I waited for the longest two hours of my life. Even though I was still full I ran the C25K: Week 7 – Run 1. I blame the crawfish for my lagging. Mmm … I can still taste the goodness in my mouth.

Ten minutes into the run I got really tired. My legs started to cramp so I ran a little bit faster … which surprisingly felt better. Weird. I thought the run would be easier. Think being lazy all weekend messed me up. Gotta pick it up!

Time for telly before bed! Hope you guys had a good Monday!!

Chuy’s | Houston, Texas

I got home super early and was able to make myself lunch.

Lunch: Eggs, Bagel Thin, Spinach

Sunny side up eggs on a bed of spinach, bagel thin with Nutella knockoff spread, a handful of jalapeno chips. So not healthy but so, so good.

Sweet Potato and Yogurt

Sweet potato with yogurt. Yum! So much good food in my tummy.

When 7:30pm rolled around I got ready for Ed’s birthday. It was just me and the boys (Ed, Ryan, Daniel). All that was missing was John. We had dinner plans and Ryan had ended up at the wrong Chuy’s and so we waited and waited for him to arrive.

Soft Tacos [two tacos with lettuce, cheese, pico, and your choice of ground sirloin, grilled chicken, or carne guisada. (Also available with guacamole instead of meat for a vegetarian option). Tacos served with rice and refried or charro beans] | $8.47

I would love to come here again and am happy that they have opened one in Katy!

Baker St. | Ryan, Daniel, Ed

Ryan, Daniel, Ed

We went to Sherlock’s Baker Street Pub for some drinks. Since Ryan was having a bad day, I bought him a drink called Sex on Baker Street. He liked it a lot but I was too full from the greasy food to have any drinks.

We bid farewell after a few hours and I debated if I should work out or not. I kept telling myself it was the last one of the week and I shouldn’t give up. So, I went and conquered C25K: Week 6 – Run 3.

Luckily my arch didn’t hurt so that’s good. I seriously love longer runs than intervals. When can I stop doing intervals?! 🙁 Probably never.

I came home and almost passed out on the floor. That’s how tired I was.

The boys went to a laser tag lock-in while I chose running. I must be going crazy.

Head over to Fit Chick Britt. She’s asking for pictures of you sporting a makeup-free look for her future post!!

Got Crabs?!

License Plate | Skeet

I tend to look at license plates and saw this as I was driving into work this morning.

Blue Shell Crabs

I’m not a big fan of crabs but I was craving it and it magically appeared!

Blue Shell Crab Cholesterol

Dad had the day off and bought some crabs. My favourite part is the orange goodness aka cholesterol. YUM!

As this cutey is chilling on my bed, slowly falling asleep, I’m currently waiting for a fluffy chiffon cake to bake up in the oven. Mum wants to bring one to her co-workers so I was put to work.

Organization Woes

June 23, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

There is an organization called the Filipino Student Association (FSA). No, I’m not Filipino, though I’ve been told I can pass as one.

Anyway, last school year I was nominated to be in the running for Philanthropy Chair. I love volunteering and was thrilled I was picked. I was also nominated for various other chairs but I turned those down.

At the end, I won and had so many ideas on what we could do to help others.

But when our future President said a few words of how he wants more new members from this year to be an officer to get ready for the Goodphil ’13 since we were in line to host it got me thinking. He even brought in two of those new members to become officers … but had no title. None of the elected officers knew their positions.

For a month and a half now, those words stung me in the heart. I am to graduate in May 2012. I am definitely not a “new member” and wasn’t going to be there for Goodphil ’13. So who am I to stand in the way of those who need to learn for the future, right?

Today, I made my decision. I called up the President to tell him my thoughts and how I was willing to step down and give my chair away but he didn’t answer.

So I went and called one of the girls he brought in. She was happy and totally accepted it on the spot. Given I told her it was up to all the other officers. (I’m sure they’ll say yes.)

I texted the President my thoughts and how she was willing to accept. I guess it’s the waiting game from here on out.

I’m starting to regret it but I’ll still be part of FSA even if I’m not an officer.

At least I’m still the Technology Chair for the For The Kids (FTK) organization. You’ll hear more about that in the future.

Okay, back to work.

Smart Dog

June 22, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I woke up this morning forgetting that I finished my tube of toothpaste the night before. I yell downstairs to ask Mum if she had an extra.

She goes and puts a bag around Rocky’s neck and sticks the toothpaste inside. We trained our dog to deliver things to members of our household. Each of us has our own names we go by when we talk to Rocky.

This picture was taken two/three months ago. Look at him yawn. Our dog can be dumb at times but definitely more of a smartypants.

Cailtin from Happy Tipping Point just posted about her dog, Maggie, and how she’s dumb. Don’t worry she loves her dog just as much as I love my dog.
