Rizzo can’t even take a good poopin’ because the wind blows him over before he’s finished. *sigh* I love the cold but the wind and the rain isn’t helping matters.

Anyway, Thankful Thursday was needed.

Thankful for Rizzo. He makes me happier. A handful, yes, but having him “love” me unconditionally, having someone to come home to, best feeling. Plus he has such hilarious moments. Single forever. Dog lady right hurr.

Thankful and honored to be a bridesmaid for Mallory’s & John’s Wedding in May. Especially because this pushes me to workout harder which I need.

Thankful to have coworkers with abundant amounts of knowledge who I can learn from to better myself for the job I’m at.

Thankful for Netflix especially for those days you need background noises. Just finished all of Dexter and now on Chuck!

Thankful for Coconut Oil. Hydrating my face and helping my eczema as well. Hoping my eczema will heel by the time of the wedding. Here’s to wishing.

Called Out

January 19, 2014 by Mellie Dee 3 Comments

I got a text this morning saying that my blog needed some love. That’s how bad I am at this lately.

I’ve started writing more in my handwritten journal. That’s probably the reason for the lack of writing in this one. Plus all I want to do now is cuddle with my little RizzyRoo. I’ve become one of those people.

Oh, and I need a new blog reading platform. Bloglovin’ has been frustrating. When I go to click on “Read All Posts” for the section, it does it for the whole thing. *sigh* Now I have to figure out what I’ve read and haven’t read which is getting hard to do.

Here’s an update on life thus far.

Pluto with the Asus. It’s been working pretty well for me. It’s not fast like the newer models but it works for what I need it for which is pretty much game playing, Netflix, G-chat. You know, the social media type things.

My rock collection ’’is growing. I currently have 11 rocks total! Yay! Majority was given to me by one of my bosses, Steve.

P.S. I also collect Postcards so if you ever want to send me one or bring back a souvenir … that’s all I need.

Speaking of work, here’s one of the views. We’re getting a putt putt on top of one of buildings. So … no work will get done. haha Then there’s a big “river” that runs through it. So fancy.

Work has been going fairly well. I’ve been a part of some meetings that are helping building something that will help the future of our company. That’s always a great feeling. Endless meetings, long conversations, missed lunches. But it’s worth it.

I am officially a bridesmaid which I am honored to be! Oh, and I finished the Save the Dates. Hoping they print well. That’s the only thing I’m worried about. Fingers crossed!!

I got Rizzo a thermal kitty bed since he shivers a lot from the cold. Pluto loves it too. He got mad when Rizzo wanted to get in …

Brother took us all out to Taste of Texas as our Christmas present yesterday. Mmm … so good. So expensive. And it tasted even better this morning. Yes. Leftover steak for breakfast.

As you can tell, life has been busy. A once a week post, I will try. But reading blogs .. I need to get back on it.

Til next time,

Eventful Start of the New Year

January 9, 2014 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Hola lovelies! Time to update you on what’s been going on since I last posted!

IMG_20140102_214555

January 2nd

Pinot’s Palette with Mallory & Samantha. Nothing like the original but I still love it!

This is also the day were Rizzo got knocked over mid poop because of the wind. TMI, I know.

January 3rd

Made my last payment for my six school loans! Took me a year and a month! Debt free!!

IMG_20140104_190708

January 4th

Celebrated by Hot Pot! Now I just want to buy every thing. Yikes!

January 5th

Got to see Leah M. when she came into town to visit Mallory and John! This makes it the 3rd time we’ve met/seen each other. Weird how you can still talk to someone like they never left when you just met them!

January 6th

Ordered an Asus Transformer Pad! It’s a cheap tablet so hopefully it holds up!

January 7th

Taste of Texas to say goodbye to Andrew D. & Carla A. who are moving to Seattle. And to Christopher D. who’s moving to Hawaii. I probably won’t ever see them again so I made an effort to go no matter how gross I felt from a long day at work. You can totally see it in the picture. Can’t believe I’m putting it online …

January 8th

When everyone’s ideas come together and become something that will help the future of your company. Work high! And it didn’t stop there. Worked on Mallory & John’s “Save the Dates” and didn’t even realize the time! When you’re having fun, time sure flies!

January 9th

My tablet arrived! But am waiting it to charge before I play with it! So excited! Also took Rizzo to Mallory’s house. Mallory & John got a new puppy, Lacy, and we wanted them to be best friends! Samantha was there as well and we all ate dinner and watched reality telly together while the pups played. Rizzo is knocked out now. Thanks, Lacy!\

Now it’s time for me to unwind and sleep.

 

Until next time,

2014 New Year Resolutions

December 31, 2013 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

2013 New Year Resolution Recap:

  • Lose 25+ lbs or at least some weight.

Lost 11 lbs and counting!

  • Live healthier. Eating …. working out. Yah know. Same old same old.

Right on track. Though the working out got slacked when Rizzo came into my life.

  • PR on my 5k even if it is just one minute.

Nope.

  • Be a better blogger by not slacking off as much and reaching out more.

Committed by getting my own domain and changing my blog up. Decided to let got for a bit because I was too consumed. I hope now that it’s a new year, I’ll be back and at ‘em.

  • Dress better because I look like a grandma when I’m at work.

Getting better … takes time!

  • Hello over humongous pores! I need to better my skin routine.

Slowly … so so slowly.

  • As much as I love being one of the guys I love being a girl. I just have to be less lazy and just be more like a girl.

Still waiting for the girl to come out.

So now we move on to 2014 Resolutions.

  • Continue to lose weight.
  • Never give up on blogging.
  • Volunteer more.
  • Stay in touch with friends. Especially those getting married.
  • Cross a few more things off my Bucket List!

I’m not sure what else. Making resolutions are getting harder as you get older.

Here’s to New Year, New Memories!

Happy New Year’s Eve, lovelies!

Meet Rizzo

December 4, 2013 by Mellie Dee 3 Comments

IMG_20131129_194443

On Friday (November 29th), a turn of events led us to CAP (Citizens for Animal Protection). A 3.4 pound, tan, male terrier-mixed puppy (8 weeks old) was staring at us quivering. All four of his paws are white which makes it look as if he’s wearing socks!

Next thing I know, I’m signing adoption papers. I’ve been looking for my little baby for years but always refrained. I’m not sure what made me take the plunge for this little guy.

That night during dinner, we video chatted with Sissy and BIL about names. It got a little silly.

IMG_20131201_173232

Sunday night (December 1st) after he got neutered, he arrived home.

Blogosphere, Meet Rizzo (or as my parents say it, Rissue or Rizsoo).

Rizzo, meet the Blogosphere!

It’s only been three nights and three days thus far but he seems to be doing pretty well. I’m sure this blog will now be ALL ABOUT RIZZO. I hope that won’t be a problem.

————————————————————–

And now a quick recap of the last two weeks so I can get back to Rizzo and start on reading catching up blogs. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break! I sure did!

11/22 – Package filled with love from one of the FTK Families. The momma and all three of her kids wrote a little something and included a dream catcher.

Mum got a box of chocolate covered strawberries in the mail for her birthday (from Tammy). So delicious!

11/23 – Brother’s day of birth but since he didn’t come down, we decided to celebrate Mum’s birthday (which is on the 25th) early at Pappadeaux.

IMG_20131124_183541

11/24 – Ryland’s birthday. Superhero theme! Ryland’s Uncle is actually a friend of mine from high school. It was great getting to catch up with him and hear all he’s accomplished.

IMG_20131126_183112

11/26 – The Hunger Games: Catching Fire with Mallory at Alamo Drafthouse … Ladies Night = cheaper tickets. I cried pretty much throughout the movie. Sorry, Mallory.

11/28 – Ate our simple Thanksgiving dinner with the family while video chatting with Sissy and BIL like they were still in the same place with us. Thank you, modern day technology.
