[2018] 135/365: Lonely Rizzo
If Rizzo could talk, he’d tell you how much he misses me now that I’m at work. He gets so overly excited when I walk in the door and even picks up toys for me to play with him and he’s not even into toys! If I could, I’d pick a job where I get to spend more time at home. Sigh … maybe when I’m older.
[2018] 134/365: Free Birthday Starbies
I stopped by Starbucks this morning to use my birthday credit for a giant iced upside-down caramel macchiato. I haven’t had such a giant Starbucks drink in such a long time. I remember always ordering one before I started my trip back home from college or vice versa.
Our free breakfast this Monday consists of breakfast tacos. They actually tasted very good, unlike my old workplace.
Work has been going a bit slow since my coworkers are all busy and it’s hard to schedule learning time. Sigh. Slowly, but surely, right?
This job is going to get me fat fatter than ever. Like when Violet ate a piece of candy and ballooned up and needed Oompa Loompas to roll her out. That’s going to be me soon. They apparently have free breakfasts Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. (Yes, Fridays. I don’t have every other Friday off like I did with my old job. I’m not too sure how I feel about it yet.) I didn’t grab any Monday since I just started, nor did I today because I was a little too shy and was afraid I’ll end up at the wrong place. But come Friday, everyone better get out of my way. I’m ready!
While in the break room, a random lady getting coffee introduced herself and has been super nice and showed me around, telling me more about the company. Later at lunchtime, she even invited me to lunch with her gal pals. I told her I would have to grab a quick lunch to which she replied she can score me some free BBQ since there was a lunch meeting with leftovers. I grabbed my plate and followed her down two floors to a bigger break room to eat. They were all super nice and even invited me to join whenever I wanted. I am conflicted because I’d like to join, but also because I’m not a fan of long lunches because I just want to go home to Rizzo. Sigh …
The afternoon hit me … groggy. I went to the break room to try a hazelnut coffee but it didn’t do anything to me. Everyone who knows me knows I’m not a super coffee fan so best believe there’s a lot of hazelnut creamer in there making it more milky than coffee.
[2018] 129/365: Steak Dinner
I received a text from Ashy with tonight’s dinner menu, inviting me to join. So I did. The steaks were PERFECT, as well as all the veggies and potatoes. Drool! I was craving a steak and this hit the spot! And I even have leftovers. Happy tummy.
I know it’s only been a few days since I’ve had their cooking and seeing Luna’s face but I really miss the freedom to come over whenever I wanted to and spend the night doing nothing.
Hey, retirement, where you at? haha Just kidding.
Rami, Caitlin, Peyton, and Cailtin’s Grandpa came over bright and early for breakfast. We all enjoyed laughter with Peyton and Scruffy even got to change a dirty diaper!
When they left, Scruffy and I went to Kendra Scott to use my birthday discount. They were having Cinco de Mayo goodies. I snagged a few delicious macarons as we waited for someone to answer our questions.
[2018] 125/365: I Love Photo Booth Pictures
They even had a makeshift photo booth and although Scruffy wasn’t too down with taking one, he did it for me and I LOVE IT A LOT, especially since we don’t really have someone taking photos of us. Oh, and the matching thing definitely happened by accident!
We also stopped by William-Sonoma, Magpie Giftshop, and Kroger before heading back to his house where he packed his stuff to come over to my house with Luna. I was surprised with an early birthday gift from Liliana! I haven’t seen her for so long but we have plans to see one another soon and I cannot wait!
Scruffy and I went to AMC to watch the movie A Quiet Place since I had free tickets to any movie at AMC. He rarely goes to theatres with me so I was surprised that he was down with ordering snacks, which isn’t something I’m used to so I HAD to get the curly fries! The movie was pretty good, quiet suspenseful but there are some holes. I heard there’s a second one and I’m down to watch that too.
We went home and had dinner with my parents and I was so happy to find out he was fine with the foods! Win!
Scruffy and I played a round of 7 Wonders (I won) and Scattergories (we tied). Now I’m blogging while he’s playing the computer at Star Realms. Then it’s shower and Scrubs. Night y’all!
I decided to slather my face with makeup today since I was going to be running around all day.
I went to the bank hoping that it was going to notarize my work forms but, they don’t do that type of notary so I went and got Whataburger instead. I ate that in the car then headed to get my breath and urine drug test.
Upon completing, I went off for hours at the Houston Premium Outlets. I hate shopping but it was nice knowing that I was in search of a fancy purse, which I found!
[2018] 122/365: Before the Busted Batter
I stopped by Mallory’s since it’s been a while and might be a while longer once I start my job. JJ wanted to shake the pancake mixture so I let him and I asked Mallory if we should continue to let him because he might drop it. Seconds after she said we should probably let the air out before it burst …
He dropped it on the floor. The batter went everywhere and the dogs went wild, lapping it all up. Lacy was more in love with it than Major. After Mallory, John, and JJ ate dinner, we all headed to the little neighbourhood park before I called it a night with them.
I went home, showed Mum the new purse I got her and we went to Katy Mills Mall to change it to a different colour. It resulted in me buying a wallet wristlet that fits my phone. Then we went home and had dinner of pan-fried dumplings and steamed fish. Yum!
