Thanksgiving Break was so amazing that I got lazy the week after trying to catch up to normal life again. It was great getting the family together again. Cannot wait for Christmas!

We went to Galveston on the 23rd for the lights. A lot of the lights were broken … But when they’re not, they’re as gorgeous as above.

Everyone went crazy and bought Powerball tickets. This would be the ones I bought with my coworkers. Sadly, none of us got to quit our jobs.

Got a Kid’s Meal from McDonalds … this is the size fries little kids get. I think that should be the size of SMALL fries adults should get when they order small fries. America gives out too much for their portions.

Popcorn … best snack on the planet. Best when watching movies with the fams!

Another wedding. I am so excited. I’ve known them since they both started college. And I will get to see a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. Happy dance.

This is just a view from a drive home.

Hopefully I’ll be posting more but I get tired around holidays now that I don’t get days off. Well I can get days off … I just didn’t. Figure since it’s my first year, I should work.

Happy Sunday!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2012 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Thanksgiving Day is here!
And we have a LOT to be thankful for.
Here’s just a few but not limited to
because we should be thankful every day!

For family. For friends.
For laughter and happiness.
For sunrise. For sunset.
For having a job and health.
For you, readers and bloggers.
For I won’t be here without y’all.
Thank you.

I promise to catch up on all my missed posts.
Promise. Promise.
Till then, Happy Thanksgiving.

Jared, Painting, Red Dawn, 5k Race

November 21, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

Got to see Jared last night. Gave me a tour of his apartment, had a beer or two and talked, showed me something he’s working on … music wise, then went to Cane’s for dinner. Sometimes some friendships just work. I’ve only seen him one other time in 5 years and that was a good month or so ago. Love when you’re able to just talk. It’s kind of funny actually. Back when we were in high school I was the talker and he would listen and only talked when he felt necessary. Our roles are reversed now. I’m more reserved and he’s more outgoing. It works. Surprising how 5 years can change a person.

Mum tied a bow around Rocky’s head … he’s Roxie now.

One of the best movies.
Chris Hemsworth. That is all.

The sky during my 5k Run.

I used this run as my 5k Race time for the virtual Gobbler Gallop For The Love of The Kids. 00:47:31. Time might suck for y’all real runners but it’s better than I thought. Especially since I started running again 2 weeks and 2 days ago … and skipping 3 of my scheduled running days due to going to San Antonio. Yes I know. No excuses so to me I’m just happy I finished. Fracture is a little twingy but other than that I feel great.

Tonight is baking time and prepping for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving Dinner. Eeep!!

And hopefully in the morning I’ll be able to go to 24 hour Fitness and try out the Yoga-lates class. Yay for 3 day passes! 🙂

Hope you’re all having a great Thanksgiving Eve! <3

Too Much Food

IMG_20121110_131650

Been writing music again.
Not sure what to do with them though.
But it helps me when I go through things
Or when I’m bored.

IMG_20121110_204526

Been training for my 5k and had an ice bath for the feet.
As long as I finish, I don’t mind the time.
But hopefully I’ll finish before 45 minutes.

IMG_20121111_134001

Did you know they make these for dogs?
Ribs, Sausage, & Chicken Drumstick lookalikes.
Cute.

IMG_20121111_183133

One of the bestest foods ever.
Dumpling with soup in it.
Xiao Long Bao. Go try it.

IMG_20121111_195826

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pretzel Bars from scratch.
For the potluck at work …

IMG_20121112_125419

That had a mile long of food.
1/2 a mile of desserts.
Jk … but really.

IMG_20121112_132238

Starbucks with some coworkers after Potluck.
Thanks Bossman.
Sat and talked for a good 30 mins or so.
Fun stuff cuz work was over for me by then. 😉

IMG_20121112_152751

Went to the eye doctor who gave me all this stuff … for free.
And because she knew I was a recent college grad,
I didn’t have to pay for some images I had to take for the eyes.
Thanks doc.

IMG_20121112_180202

Always the best for last.
The view on the drive home.
Love getting to work by 5am

No cars.

Cannot wait for Thursday!
It’s gonna be a good weekend!
