2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine … Kinda

March 20, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Co-pups

Meet my coworkers of the week. One watches my every move while the other sleeps on the job.

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Foods

Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve eaten less as well. I don’t feel hungry like I usually do so sometimes my two meals a day become one. No complaints since I’m sure it has to do with not moving as much.

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Rocky Thunder & Lightning

Today’s thunder got my sleepy coworker all up in my business. He doesn’t understand boundaries at all.

It was my day off but had to get some things done. This means working less next Friday, right?

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Mallory's, JJ, Banana But Muffins, Frozen 2

Mallory and I made an executive decision for me to go over. It’s been a VERY long time since I’ve seen her. I came in right as they were putting banana nut muffins in the oven. They were delicious!

Beth came over as well for me to give her her belated birthday present. We sat and watched five minutes into Frozen 2 before JJ wanted to watch something else. We had the bubbliest wine ever made and chilled for a bit before I went back home.

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Tiff's Treats

June and I have been craving sweets and when I saw that Tiff’s Treats was having only a $5 delivery, I jumped the gun and got some.

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Tandoori Grill | Katy, Texas

June decided to get the both of us Tandoori Grill. Mum didn’t want any. We ate a few bites and put the rest away for tomorrow. I’m so excited for papadum and channa masala. Easily my favourite go to now. Don’t worry, I still like my usuals though.

2020 | Week 1 of Quarantine Rizzo & Mellie Dee

I spent some cuddle time with Rizzo. He’s the worst when it comes to taking pictures. But he’s the best movie and television marathon partner ever. I’ve been trying to get out in the sun more and so I’ve taken him on super short walks a couple of times this week. He’s going to get horrible separation anxiety, more than he already has after this quarantine.

Meeting Maggie

March 15, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Ashy and I haven’t seen one another since the day Scruffy and I broke up. We’ve had a handful of pleasantries by texts throughout the year+ and finally made plans for him to stop by since he wanted to give Mum some succulents.

Ashy, Maggie, Rizzo, Mellie Dee

I had the lovely pleasure of finally meeting Maggie the Beagle. She is a little bigger than Rizzo and they got along pretty well. No growls, all love from Rizzo which is a first and with his tail wagging non-stop. I guess he missed Ashy.

We both held each other’s dogs for the hour or so conversation we had catching up about each other’s lives. It was nice to see how happy he is which was all I ever wanted for him.

Ashy and his Plants

When we finished our conversation, he started taking out all the plants and succulents he brought Mum. She was in love with it all. My favourite was the red cactus.

These plants brought back up our usual talk of opening up our own wedding business, 50/50, which he was still down for. Wishing it was true but also afraid to since he said I’d have to bring the business and, let’s be real, I have no friends or connections.

Maggie and Rizzo

Rizzo loved sniffing Maggie’s butt and followed her around our backyard while Ashy and Mum walked around her garden. When I look at Maggie, all I see is Daisy, but with much fresher breath.

We bid our farewells and I continued watching Bitten, a show I started last night and am already on season 3 because I’m crazy like that. I also got to video chat with Emmy and her favourite word right now is booty in Chinese. She said “Goodbye, booty!” in Chinese as she ended our conversation. How lovely.

Salmon and Veggies

I made a lovely baked salmon dinner with ALL the veggies roasted nicely tonight. And I mean all, broccoli, asparagus, zuchinnis, carrots and cherry tomatoes. If you know me, this is my favourite go to dinner to make and eat and have never gotten tired of it. And with the quarantine coming, I’m going to need to search for more salmon!

A Little Too Much Wine

March 10, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Chicken Dinner at Mallory's | JJ & Jacob & Mellie Dee

Cancelled meetings and meetings that take way shorter of a time than usual made for a great day. I left for Mallory’s in record time. She made us a chicken dinner with pilaf and corn. I call this white people food and I don’t mind it one bit.

I was able to get JJ to take fake naps which was calming. And he loved the Frozen favour bag I brought back for him from Emmy’s party.

I did however drink a little too much wine mixed with not enough sleep. I knocked out for a short bit after John got back. Whoops.

Rosanna & Duy Wedding Invite

I came home to Rosanna & Duy’s wedding invite! I’m excited and need to take that Monday off. One and only wedding this year and I’m surprisingly okay with it. I’m wedding out from the past decade filled with them.

At Home Seafood Boil Cheat

March 8, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

The drive was pretty brutal since I slept super late and woke up quite early. I came home and pretty much did nothing.

Seafood Boil with Leftover Sauce

I did make a delicious dinner though! I used the extra seafood boil sauce we bought and froze. Shrimp, octopus, potatoes, jalapeno sausage, mushrooms and corn. Freaking spicy but delicious.

I need to learn how to make the sauce the way restaurants do so I don’t have to go out for it ever again! Patsy makes pretty good sauce so I need to reach out to her to share it with me.

2020 | Gordon's Birthday

We celebrated Gordon’s Birthday today. Since Coronavirus is going a little crazy and Grandma can easily get it, we decided to do dinner at Kenny’s instead. Good food, great sweets.

Peacefully Sleeping | Rizzo

I love when Rizzo sleeps so peacefully. Love him so much.

Watson’s Happy Hour

February 27, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Watson's | Happy Hour with Wacko and TJ

Work this week has been a little too much. Coming back to so many issues got me going crazy. We had set up a happy hour a couple of weeks ago to vent and get away from the office. Christopher has been sick since last week so he was in quarantine. Juhi was on a bachelorette party. It was just Wacko, TJ and me but it was still great.

Watson's | Happy Hour with Wacko and TJ | Wacko

We talked about so many different things. We laughed a lot, like this picture where Wacko drinks with his pinky up and was freezing his butt off. We talked about way back when we knew one another and how. We talked about if we were different in the office and outside of the office.

I’m not sure when our next one is but I’m ready for round two! The weekend is almost here and although I just went on a vacation, I’m ready for my next one.
