Dedication

January 3, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I’m on my winter break and I’m still busy working on school things. I am so dedicated.

The FTK Website and FTK Blog is getting closer and closer to finished.

22 hours until launch.

So excited and scared at the same time. Eep!

This morning I woke up and went to Chinatown to have Brunch with my mum and my aunt’s family.

Then mum and I went shopping. Bought my jacket for when I go to Penn State! Excited!

Then it was Website and Blog working the rest of the time up till now.

Well … if you don’t count eating dinner and my favorite form of exercise nowadays: Dance Central 2. I do the fitness kinds on there and it’s so much fun. Smile

Anyway, it’s time to catch up on blog reading and Netflixing. Night my wonderfuls!

Laid Back

January 1, 2012 by Mellie Dee 3 Comments

I have neglected my blog today. Those posts you saw? They were written from the past.

I haven’t caught up with my Google Reader since last night before the New Year rang.

Reason?

I’ve been working on building a new spanking blog and have been helping with the building of a new website as well. It took me over five hours just to make a header and the end result is as simple as can be.

All for FTK. For The Kids Dance Marathon at UTSA – An organizational group of students coming together to help kids with pediatric cancer.

We’ll be launching all of that on January 4th. Keep a look out. My Website Captain, Andrew C., and I have been working really hard on it and it’ll be great to know some people are actually checking it out.

Today has been very laid back. Brunch with the family then working hardcore on the stuff above. Then had dinner with the family and more working on the stuff above.

I love days like these. Family and doing something I love. Now time to relax with some Netflix and catch up on Google Reader.

Hope your first day of the year was JUST as lovely! Open-mouthed smile

2012 New Year Resolutions

January 1, 2012 by Mellie Dee 7 Comments

How did I spend my New Years Eve leading up to the New Year?

Picture0329

I woke up bright and early and went to my sissy’s downtown. Picked her and Brett up and we went to get breakfast tacos from Pappas.

Went back and ate with their roommate, Ross, and sissy’s friend; then sissy and I headed to get our nails done, redeeming the certificate my sissy gave me as a present for Christmas. We both got the same color. This picture does not do it’s justice.

We went back to the apartment, chilled, then met up with dad, mum, and June at Olive Garden. Shopped at Academy and dropped sissy and Brett back to their apartment.

Went home, took a nap (hehe), had dinner and played Mahjong with the parents and June. I lost … I never learned to play. It was a lot of fun though. Then mum and June did Dance Central on the Xbox Kinect while I watched. We counted down, ate some snacks, then clicked through some pictures from Christmas and Thanksgiving that my brother uploaded.

It’s been a good day with Family. Just wished I got to see the bro too.

**********

I’m not sure what my New Year Resolutions should ever be.

Reason?

I have a feeling I’ll never follow through.

Here goes:

  • Graduate from College – This is suppose to happen in May. Fingers cross I pass my classes!
  • Find a steady job – How does one look for a job? Help!
  • Lose 25+ pounds – I really need to bog down on this. Any tips welcomed.
  • Run a 5k race – I might have one lined up for October. There’s one in February but I don’t think I’ll be able to do it.
  • Stay in touch with friends – It’s always hard for me to do so when I’m gone from a place to long. Maybe by then, I’m okay with sharing my blog …

Everything seems easy and at the same time hard.

Wish me luck! Open-mouthed smile

Do we have any of the same resolutions?

What are yours?

Did you have a good New Years Eve?

New Years Eve

December 31, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Right now sissy and I are getting a manicure. Hopefully it’s going well since I’m writing from the past.

New Years Eve in my family means me spending time with my family. More like my parents and June since my brother is already back in Dallas and my sissy is most likely to hang out with her boyfriend.

I like being home with the parents. I actually like starting a new year with them.

I guess we’ll see what happens this year.

Happy New Years Eve!

Have fun and be safe!

What are you up to?

And I made Red Velvet Cupcakes for Jenny and Sammi.

On the 25th we all went to our Aunt’s for Christmas dinner.

I got a purple wallet from the cousins, the siblings and I got random things in a bag from another cousin, and the Uncle gave us each 20 bucks.

It was fun getting to reminisce with the cousins. I love that we grew up so close together. So many memories …

We played Outburst for Juniors. We were put into two teams. Me, Tammy, and Cousin. Brother, 2 Cousins, and Jenny.

Four against three. We won!!

Then we played Chinese Checkers. Jenny won by victory of everyone. We helped her out and she ended up being first place. Funny huh?

Hope your Christmas was just as wonderful!! Open-mouthed smile
