More Birthday Love

May 15, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I finally went back to work today. Still a cough but much less. It felt a bit weird being back after being out for so long but it also felt kind of right. I am glad I worked from home though because there was definitely less to do when I got back!

2019 Birthday Present from Delisha | Cornbread Dressing with Chicken

Upon arriving to work Delisha messaged me to meet her halfway to pick up my birthday present from her. She told me she was making cornbread dressing so I thought she was just going to give me a little bit in a tupperware and was surprised when she gifted me the entire pan! I am full and happy!

Starbucks Gift Card from Maria

Maria handed me a tiny card and I found a $50 Starbucks gift card for putting part of the presentation together and presenting at the townhall. I wished it was a gift card for the cafe because bacon but work Starbucks is better than nothing.

2019 Birthday Present from Erin | Storm Cloud Weather Predicting Instrument

Erin surprised me with a present after lunch. It was all wrapped with a nice bow. I’ve always wanted one of these though I’m never sure if it actually works or not. I am keeping it at work so others can enjoy it as well. This one is by far one of the cuter ones I’ve seen and I like the tiny size.

Game of Thrones Redo of Season 8 Petition

London sent me a screenshot of this. I doubt they’ll rewrite and reshoot season 8 of Game of Thrones but I cannot help but laugh and also feel sad that this is happening.

After work, Sissy came to drop off the pups and I went to get a manicure with her since she wanted to get her nails done.

Now to enjoy episode 3 of Westworld.

2019 Birthday

May 13, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Avocado and Egg Croissant

Started off the day with an avocado and oozy egg croissant a la me. I made Grandma a scrambled egg bagel sandwich which she thoroughly enjoyed.

I worked for a little over five hours before calling it a day.

Aurea Salon

Sissy recommended Aurea Salon so I went and checked it out. I was surprised how great their neck massage was while shampooing. Other than the bangs being a little short everything overall went well.

I stopped by Nothing Bundt Cake and picked up my free birthday bundt and was surprised when she didn’t ask for my id to confirm.

Loft Spring Bag

I had a $15 off coupon to Loft and decided to make a last minute decision to stop by. I was lucky to find two discounted items that I’m excited to wear. I can’t help to think how freaking adorable their spring bags are!

I stopped by World Market, stocked up on some presents then went and got my pedicure from Serenity Nails.

2019 Birthday Present from Jenny | Tiff's Treats

I came home to a lovely Tiff’s Treats surprise. I was a bit confused since no one really had our address but was relived and quite surprised to see if was from Jenny. So many cookies! This girl be cray. Wishing she was with me to enjoy them though!

Cravin Cajun with Timothy, John, Dad

Timothy texted and asked if I wanted crawfish for dinner and asked my family too. It ended up being me, him, John, and Dad. Freaking delicious and perfect. I can never say no to free crawfish!

Nothing Bundt Cake | White Chocolate Raspberry

We went home and cut the free bundt cake just so I can make a wish.

2019 Birthday Present from Liliana

I noticed a package by the door and found that Lily had shipped me an I love and miss you Sherpa throw. I cannot wait to use it!

Thanks to everyone this weekend and today, for all the surprises and love, for all the texts, phone calls, and DMs. They are all appreciated.

2019 Mother’s Day

May 12, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2019 Mother's Day | Churrasco's Brunch Buffet

Day started with a brunch Buffet at Churrascos to celebrate Mother’s Day. Don’t worry, I didn’t eat everything shown. But everything was dealing delicious that I for sure need to come back!

Emmy was in love with the bacon and fried yucca chips. Super sad she’s already gone but excited to get her again in June!

2019 Mother's Day | Churrasco's Coupons

Every mother recurved a $20 voucher for another time and they are all in my pocket. When to go? Who to go with? Questions, questions.

Afterward, June took me to urgent care for my in going cough. Sinus bronchitis. Super sexy. Shot in my bum. Cough syrup. Zpak. And a doctor’s note to stay home until Wednesday. Fun!

I’ll probably work a few hours from home, watch some telly, and nap. Sounds fun. Yay.

2019 Early Birthday Celebration & Mother’s Day

May 11, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Egg Tart & Tea Breakfast

Egg tart and tea to start the day since Rizzo wanted to go out super early. It’s been a while having a quiet, simple time in the morning to reflect on life.

2019 Birthday | Peli Peli | Katy, Texas | Appetizers

We went to my early birthday celebration at Peli Peli. Brudda and SIL ordered a plethora of appetizers as their main meal and it was nice getting to try a little bit of everything.

2019 Birthday | Peli Peli | Katy, Texas | Cape Town Skillet

I ordered my usual Cape Town Skillet with a side of brussel sprouts not pictured. Still my favourite dish and have leftovers for another day. So excited!

2019 Birthday | Peli Peli | Katy, Texas | Sticky Toffee Pudding

They gave me a Sticky Toffee Pudding to celebrate my birthday. I was surprised that I actually liked it. So did Emmy! Hoping my wishes come true. I don’t think I’m supposed to eat all this delicious food while being sick but, oh well!

2019 Birthday Present from Sissy, Brudda, BIL, SIL

I got a lot of red envelopes and Sissy, Brudda, BIL, and SIL all chipped in to get me a massage. I cannot wait to use it a week or so after my chiropractor appointment. And I am digging the card. So freaking adorable.

2019 Katrina's 1st Birthday

We then headed over to Katrina’s first birthday party. We hung out for a bit before heading home for naps and relaxation. Much, much needed.

2019 Mother’s Day Dinner | Emmy

We all headed over to Gordon’s for our annual Mother’s Day dinner. Now that their balcony is fixed we are all able to enjoy it again.

2019 Mother's Day Dinner | Emmy 2

Emmy loves the balcony so much that she wanted to go back up there after dinner. She is growing up so fast and so tall! She seems like she’s just pondering about life.

I cannot believe tomorrow’s already Sunday! The weekend is going by way too fast!

Crawfish & Emmy

May 10, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Chick-fil-A Drive Thru

I worked a few hours from home and took the rest of the day off. Then headed to Chick-fil-A drive thru. From last night’s mentoring session I craved their nuggets and fries so much I went out and got some.

I had to text the bride today that I couldn’t make it since I’m still sick as eff and didn’t think I should go infect everyone. I’m sad but it was the best call since my cough is off the hook right now. I bet she was gorgeous!

Emmy and the Fridge

Brudda, SIL, and Emmy weren’t going to come down due to the floods but since it didn’t rain as much in the morning they did a surprised to my parents.

It’s been a while since we last saw her and she’s already grown so much! She can also do so much and say so many words. So precious!

Crawfish Cafe | Crawfish and Shrimp

SIL really wanted crawfish so she ventured out to Crawfish Cafe and brought back crawfish and shrimp. Yum! This place has been on my list for years and I’m glad I finally got to try it.

Crawfish Cafe | Big Crawfish

They are really in season right now and it looks super perfect. So freaking huge! Although I love that they use SO much garlic in their sauce, the one I usually go to is still my favourite.

I’m not sure if crawfish is good for me while I’m sick and coughing but they did say garlic is good for that so … it’s okay, right?
