Eateries & Drinkeries

Grotto Downtown | Houston, Texas

During breakfast Justin talked about Bang energy drinks which ended us in going to the convenience store downstairs. I will say that the rainbow unicorn was delicious but it is definitely too much for someone that usually only drinks water.

During lunch Vicki and I went to Grotto downtown. It was a long walk but it was nice to get away from the office. Plus the decor was so adorable!! And the food was good. We even stopped by Phonecia’s on the way back and picked up some cookies for the team.

After work Scruffy and I met up to give each other our stuff back. This didn’t include gifts for one another though. And later through texts and phone calls we decided to try out being friends and see how it goes. We talked about what ifs like if one of us had a significant other and they didn’t like our friendship. We decided to cross that bridge when it happens. I also joked if he’d ever be my bridesmaids if I got married.

Mum and June got me a taro smoothie from Kim’s Teahouse and I got delivery from Panda Express. Don’t worry, I didn’t eat it all.

Time for masks and relaxation. Happy Friday, y’all!

[2018] 293/365: Eureka Heights Brewery

I’m so happy and grateful to spend time with Emmy before we left to Scruffy’s with the pups. We went to Sissy and BIL’s to pick them up to Eureka Heights Brewery. We played a couple rounds of Grizzled board game and chilled for a bit.

After drinking we dropped off the car by the house and walked to Rodeo Goat for a late lunch. Scruffy and I headed back to the house aiming to have dinner with his family but I am so full that I am still not able to eat anything!

We watched Game Night which is actually a pretty funny and thought out movie. I really liked the end during the credits. Now to relax before bed.

I’m Kind of a Big Deal

[2018] 292/365: Big Deal

I received an award this morning. It’s an award that the recipient picks for the next week. It was pretty nice to get recogonition though I know so many others that deserve it.

After work I took Rizzo to the vet for his shots and picked up my car from the shop. Scruffy came over with Luna and had dinner with my family.

Scruffy and I then went to Krispy Kreme. It’s a new location that opened this week and there was a lot of people even at night.

We brought the donuts over to Sissy and BIL’s house and are now playing The Grizzled board game. Last minute decision since Brudda called and said he’s coming down with Emmy and I needed to pick him up to surprise the parents. I cannot wait to see her even though it’s only going to be a short while. Eeeep cannot wait.

Celebrating Rizzo’s Birthday with Floor Seats to the Rockets Game

First things first, Happy birthday, Rizzo! He is my little protector so I got him this security shirt a while back. The muscles make it even funnier. Also, Pet Supplies Plus gave him a free toy for his birthday!

To celebrate his birthday I went to the Rockets game. But not just any Rockets game. I was offered floor seats and I couldn’t pass them up!

Prisila and I started at the Truck Yard for a drink. They have some nice decor here and I’ll definitely want to come back. Jesse stopped by right as we were leaving but he came along with us.

We got hungry and knew it was smart to eat now than later at the stadium so we went next door to Rodeo Goat for some burgers and fries and some nice conversation.

Jesse was nice enough to drop us off while he went to park the trukt which we later found his wife had to pick him up due to truck issues. He missed the game. Such bummer. I’m glad he’s okay though.

We had a nice view smack in the middle of the court. I joked that I could smell their sweat and see the definition on their calves and biceps.

It was a dream sitting so close and brought me back to when I used to play. Those were the days. This group of gal and guys made it even better. Just a whole lot of silliness.

When’s the next one?

Being Fancy

September 27, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Work went by like a breeze! I was so busy but I was looking forward to some fun time. Two of the ladies on our team are leaving and we had a small happy hour at the High and Dry Rum Bar to celebrate them. I went with the old fashioned since Scruffy likes that drink and it was all I know. It was actually pretty smooth and people were impressed that I ordered it. One of the girls ordered a fire drink! How cool is that?!

I’ve never been in this area downtown at night and it was like a dream. Lights, bright. Bars everywhere. This is exactly what I dreamed of as a little girl. Working downtown, walking down the streets late at night with some cool people. Reminds me of Hong Kong too.

A few of us decided to go to dinner. We were going to go to Bombay Pizza but as we walked we changed to being fancy ending up at Morton’s Steakhouse. I was shocked at the prices but I figure to just let it go and order a steak. Everything else was shared with others. Delicious food and amazing conversations.

It was nice to get out and meet others on the team as well. I learned so much about everyone. I usually stay tied to my desk so although dinner was costly, I’m happy I went.
