[2013] 012/365: Meats Galore

February 21, 2013 by Mellie Dee 3 Comments

Wow … these titles of mine are horrific.

My Project 365 is down below if that’s what you’re here for!

Just sharing thoughts on stuff I’ve read online:

  • Gas prices are already going to $4! And for the past few days, it’s been rising … soon enough it’ll be $5 a gallon! This isn’t helping my money matters. How will I travel to see my friends all over Texas?!
  • The Postal Service is apparently going to launch their clothing line in 2014 ever since they announced they will stop Saturday mail. I guess they really do need the money. But hey, no complaints here. I’m actually pretty excited to see what they come up with. They do have some pretty good clothing for any kind of weather.

  • One old school clothing is now coming back … overalls. I remember getting made fun of for wearing them but now they’re popular again … apparently. Who’s pulling their old ones out from the back of their closets?
  • There are some bad habits that are actually … good. Things like procrastination, coffee, napping, etc. Of course in moderation though. But now you have an explanation next time someone tells you it’s bad for you! Check out the video here!

Pradaria’s for lunch with the coworkers. Mmm … so much yummy, fatty meat.

The best thing I always eat there and LOVE is the cow tongue. I know some of y’all are cringing. But seriously, don’t knock it til you try it!

I went to Walgreens after work and I saw FOUR post office trucks. What’s up with that?

Too excited that it’s Friday tomorrow. This has been one of the toughest weeks I’ve had since working here. I’m so over it. Hello, weekend!

Think Good Thoughts!

[2013] 010/365: Lazy Movie Night

February 19, 2013 by Mellie Dee 7 Comments

What I’m currently doing. I just realized they’re both a movie about a girl going undercover. Bahaha Guess I really like stupid movies.

I wouldn’t trade having a lazy day after a hard day at work for anything. I’ve always been a homebody. I rather go to someone’s house and watch telly or hang out than go out and party. Some things never change.

Today at work, I realized how much people talk crap about each other but act like they love them in person. What happened to, “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”?

P.S. I wish I was a badass like these girls and got to go undercover or something. Who’s with me?

Short and sweet post. That’s what happens when you have lazy movie nights.

Peace & Love.

[2013] 009/365: She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy

Okay, so I didn’t take this picture. Obviously.

But do you see those tires? I moved two of those today.

I came home from work and saw my neighbor struggling carrying them off her truck. They’re from a farm and super old so she got two of them for free. She’s going to use them to plant things or make a sandbox or something. How cool, eh?

Anyway, those things are HEAVY and super muddy so I offered to help her out. For two hours we scrubbed them clean and moved them into her backyard. Then washed out her driveway of that leftover mud. Workout for the day: complete.

It was the first time I’ve ever met a neighbor. I just don’t go out enough to be able to do that. But it was nice talking to her. And her kiddos are so cute.

Random Act of Kindness. Accomplished. Did you do something for someone today without expecting anything in return?

[2013] 008/365: Evening Primrose Oil

On the drive back home after a much needed relaxing weekend with Michelle. It was great getting it after such busy weekends. *sigh* It was great seeing her and now she’s possibly reading my every words. Eep! I love you, Michelle! Thanks for having me!

Anyway, have you ever heard of Evening Primrose Oil? I’ve been Pinteresting and found out their worth. Given I’m not 100% sure if it’s believable, but what’s the harm in trying, eh?

Evening Primrose Oil is said to be “a great anti-aging supplement seeing improvement in skin tightening and preventing wrinkles. Helps with hormonal acne, PMS, weight control, chronic headaches, menopause, endometriosis, joint pain, diabetes, eczema, MS, infertility, hair, nails, and scalp.”

I took my first pill tonight and I will update on it once it’s sunken in for a few days or so. Hopefully it’ll help my eczema and everything else that’s possibly wrong with me. Fingers crossed!

If you’ve taken it or heard of it before, let me know what you think!

Today was the end of THON 2013 and they raised over $12 million! They never cease to amaze. So wished I was there. Makes you feel SO SO SO alive. Sadly a lot of them couldn’t get into the BJC since it was super packed. Oh well … that just means they’re that great!

Michelle sent me this and it made me all happy inside. Dexter misses me! teehee

[2013] 007/365: A Lazy Day in Lufkin

February 16, 2013 by Mellie Dee 5 Comments

My favorite of any days is being lazy. I watch episodes of Doctor Who and even watching multiple Harry Potter movies.

Dexter the cat has been good company. He mostly just wants to be touched. This is the first time I’ve “lived” with a cat. Other than the kitty litter smell, I think they’re pretty cool.

You can see the Valentine’s Day Run from For The Love of The Kids. They gave free things along with it because they are amazing. I did my run yesterday morning before heading to Lufkin but they were having problems with their system. It was in the 50s this time around. Eep … seriously need to start training again.

I’ve been watching THON live online a few hours here and a few minutes there. So wishing I was there but I wouldn’t trade hanging out with Michelle either. Our schedules (mostly her’s now) is so busy that whatever time we can get, I’ll take.

You can stop reading if you don’t want to hear about food.

In any case, hope you all had a great Saturday! I know am. More Harry Potter movies. Relaxation at it’s finest.

I love this place. Whenever I see one I want to go and I was so happy when Michelle said we could stop there for a super late breakfast/late lunch.

I ordered The Supreme Omelet [sausage, bacon, sautéed onions & mushrooms with Cheddar Jack served with an English muffin and seasoned country potatoes] | $9.99

I died … I just love their country potatoes SO freaking much. I can’t even explain it. Their food is so good. Oh and we ate for a while and the inside of my omelet was still hot. That’s how it should be.

If you ever see one of these somewhere, stop by and try it out. If it’s not good, let me know … I won’t stop there.

Ah … you’ve guessed it. Chinese food for dinner.

We got Chicken and Brocolli with Rice & Eggroll, Beef and Brocolli with Fried Rice & Eggroll, and Vegetables and Lo Mein.

Food was good.

I told Michelle that we don’t get to eat this fake stuff at home so it’s fun to do so once in a while. She now has a ton of leftovers. teehee
