Best Feelings

September 8, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

You know what the best feeling in the world is?

When someone you’ve known for a long, long time, deletes you off of Facebook.

Cool, man. I know when you use to have no friends and I was the only one that would talk to you and introduced you to my friends.

But you know, it’s cool. I’ll live.Confused smile


You know what else is the best feeling in the world?

When you find out your two friends are officially engaged and are having an engagement party …

And you’re invited!Open-mouthed smile

Sadly, I’m not sure if I’ll make it. I had thoughts of going to Austin with Jenny but leaning towards the not. And if it’s not, I need to find a dress ASAP! Else, I seriously cannot go.

Let’s hope I find a dress because I really would love to make it for them. But it’s so hard for my body to find a dress. Hmph!


To Do List For Tomorrow:

  • Go to Finance Lab
  • Call Huddle Help Line for FTK
  • Go to FTK’s Weekly 2 Hour Meeting
  • FIND A FREAKING DRESS!

Sounds easy enough.

Another Package … For Me

September 7, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Krypto is chilling next to me as I’m writing this. He says hi.Winking smile

I woke up today with a mission.

To get my package!

It’s been in the front office the past four days and three more days, they would send it back to the UPS or FEDEX or whatever and I would have to drive all the way there to get it. Um .. no thanks.

When I got my package, I was running late so it sat in the trunk of my car while I was in school. The whole time I worked at the Involvement Fair and in class, all I could think about was the package.

Picture0264

I mean, I know what’s in it but it’s always exciting to open a package even when you know what’s inside.

I won this package from Jessica from Lil Miss Runshine who teamed up with Evan Webster to do a giveaway!

Picture0270Picture0265

Evan wrote a little note and added his little stamp. I want one of those. It makes everything that much more legit.

I won a gym bag. Sahweet, right? Now I don’t have to always use my high school athletics bag. I’ve been meaning to get a new one and now, it’s here on my “doorstep”. It’s the right size to go work out with or for a sleepover.

Picture0267Picture0268

My tee. I really love the material of these shirts. It’s like those sweat wicking kind of textures. It feels so soft and cold across your skin. Mmm … perfect! And look at the front and back details! Gorgeous. Cannot wait to wear this!! If I remember correctly, it glows in the dark. How awesome!

Picture0269

I forgot it came with some Gu as well!!! Lemon Sublime. Mint Chocolate. Tri-Berry.

I’m on Gu overload over here!

Thank you to Jess and Evan!! You guys are terrific!!

This is the last package I’ll be getting for a long time. I don’t think anyone’s that lucky to win so many giveaways in one month’s time.

Picture0273

Obviously this post took too long for me to write (a good 10 minutes) that Krypto has knocked out. Ridiculous.

I think I might just follow suit …. it’s been a long day.

Gu In My Tummy

September 6, 2011 by Mellie Dee 1 Comment

Jenny went to visit my family in Houston for Labor Day weekend along with my brother and Tammy.

Yeah, didn’t want to tell you in case someone is creeping and is wanting to stalk me.

She came back today and brought Krypto! He’s staying with us for the week.

And Jenny brought back some of the things from my house.

One including a package from Mallory from Sit for your job. Run for your life. She had a giveaway a while back and I was one of the winners for sending her a healthy recipe!

Picture0258Picture0259

Excitement!!

Picture0261

It came with a cute little note! 7 Blueberry Pomegranate Gu! 2 Vanilla Bean Gu! 11 Jet Blackberry Gu!

I was so surprised. I didn’t know she would give away THAT much for one person. I was thinking maybe like 10 per person! So generous! Thanks Mallory!!

**************************************

I do have another package still at the front office. I didn’t get home till after they closed. I guess I’ll have to try again tomorrow. I think I know what it is.Winking smile

Really really need to study but I’m sitting here … not doing so. Going to relax some more.

UTSA’s Inaugural Football Game Day

September 4, 2011 by Mellie Dee 10 Comments

Whooo! Yesterday college football kicked off.

For people of UTSA, it was the first ever football game.

We started with Tailgating. We weren’t really sure how to do one but whatever we did, it worked.

IMG_5078

Some of the people at the FTK tailgating.

FSA was next to us which makes it easier for me to go back and forth. No pictures with them though. Whoops. Next time, next time.

After sweltering in the heat, we headed to stand in line to enter the Alamodome.

IMG_5082

I got to sit in the second row of the lower level. Sadly, we were put by the goal. Maybe next time I can sit on the side to get better view.

IMG_5103

Football players practicing. Cheerleaders … not cheering. Just kidding .. I don’t know what they’re doing here but it’s better than them trying to pull of stunts. In my opinion, they need more practice.

IMG_5112IMG_5114

The guy cheerleaders, I applaud. They were amazing. Found a cutie too. On the right you can see our inaugural marching band. Couldn’t really hear them but when they faced our way, we could.

IMG_5116IMG_5119

Fireworks and sparklers. The players run onto the field.

Look at all the people. Can you see it?!

IMG_5126

The game begins. As you can see, we didn’t completely sell out. But still. That is a lot of people.

IMG_5129

This is my side of the world. We’re all sorts of filled up.

IMG_5138

We had some birds somehow end up on the Alamodome. It was funny because when a play was going on on the opposite side, the birds would still be there pecking at the grass thinking it’s real. Wish those poor birdies get help soon. They’re going to starve!

That’s the number of seats that were filled! And it’s JUST our first game! We made a new record!!

South Florida set the mark on September 6, 1997 with 49,212 people.

We beat them by 7,531 people!!

That’s one of the of the things we are most proud of that day.

IMG_5142

IMG_5148IMG_5147

We won!! 31 to 3!! The crowd goes wild!!

IMG_5149

And they run the field.

I would of done it since I was sitting on the second row but I had the fear of falling on my face and embarrassing myself.

I almost got pushed over. That would have been embarrassing as well.

And if you look closely, you can see some people getting arrested.

They warned us not to run the field so the first one they could catch, they did. I believe they caught 3 guys. Then a guy stripped down to his boxers, and of course, he was caught.

IMG_5162

The group that sat together. FTK and friends! Whoo!!

Afterward, I went back home and showered. I sweated a lot and needed a nice long shower. Mmm, felt so good.

Then Travis and A.V. came and got me and we headed to Maira’s house to celebrate. I met her parents and her friend Laura.

We had pizza, made fun of one another, played pool, sang and danced to songs, played that game where you push a disk across, listened to music and talked, and you know, usual hang out kind of things.

It was very laid back and I loved it.

The thing I loved most is her dogs. Joey, Charlie, and Jack. They are so cute! Makes me miss Rocky, Pluto, and Krypto.

It was a good experience and to be there for the first one ever?! Priceless. And can’t wait for the next one. It should be better since I don’t have to work at the tailgate. Whoo!

I’ve been lazy all day and I love it.

Did you cheer on a college football team? Did they win? If not, what’d you do?!

Fun Friday

September 3, 2011 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I went to my Finance lab today (Friday) and my oh my it was BORING!

If you don’t know the basics to excel and you’re a business major … it’s not acceptable. Especially because we all grew up with computers and internet.

I’m mean, I know.

clearbackjpeg

I went home and cleaned a little then headed back on campus for the two hour weekly FTK (For The Kids) meeting. This was our first official Friday weekly meeting. We got A LOT of things accomplished so that’s good.

Went home and relaxed for literally two seconds, and Travis and A.V. came banging on my door. We headed back to campus to pick up Maira and we headed to H-E-B.

Maira and I had planned to do dinner at my place for today and decided we should invite Travis and A.V. Bought our ingredients and made our foods. It was a pretty long process but I had fun. I hope they did too.

IMG_5065

Spaghetti (the pasta) made by Travis. The pasta sauce by Maira. Chicken Parmesan by Maira and A.V. and I. And raw spinach. Whoops. Apparently I didn’t help much but I was washing everything that came into the sink.

A clean kitchen is a happy Melissa. When I eat at someone’s house, I end up helping clean up and washing dishes and stuff. I just don’t like when a kitchen is messy. It grosses me out. But a lot of times, they kick me out. At least I try, right?

The food was so yummy! We couldn’t finish any of the foods we made. We made too many. When you’re at Melissa’s, there’s always leftovers.

IMG_5066

Maira and I made the cupcakes. Chocolate to be exact. Maira, Travis, and A.V. slathered colored vanilla frosting on top while I washed the rest of the dishes.

IMG_5067

See! Hard at work. They might get angry I put their picture up here. Whoops.

IMG_5068

This was the only cupcake I frosted. Pretty?Winking smile Just plain vanilla frosting with blue sprinkles.

IMG_5069

We all frosted this one. Cutes? Yeah … it’s pretty ugly.

Afterward, we watched Hot Tub Time Machine. I didn’t like it the first time I watched it but this time around, it wasn’t as terrible. Kind of funny actually. Guess the people you watch it with makes all the difference.

Sadly I didn’t get to do my Superset 3. I will make it up tomorrow when I do Superset 4. Promise! My arms and tummy feels like it did work from Wednesday. That has to count for something right?

Tomorrow (Saturday) is UTSA’s first ever Football game! I have to wake up at 6:30am and head to campus to meet some friends, get to the Alamodome by 8 am and set up for tailgating. I have to work the first one for FTK. Ahh excitingness!Surprised smileOpen-mouthed smileSmileRolling on the floor laughing

Time to relax until I fall asleep.

I hope your week went well!!

Byeeeeee!!
