Free breakfast again and then for lunch, Brooklyn Meatball Company. I’m obsessed with their spicy marinara. I could do without the carbs but I didn’t know what else to get.

[2018] 138/365: Downtown Views

I haven’t had downtown views since 2007 and it’s nice to have it again. I always dreamed of working downtown because it meant you made it. Now that I’m grown up, I know that isn’t the case. You can “make it” anywhere. The only issue I have working downtown is the drive. I want to move closer. Sigh … maybe one day.

I’m now currently at Scruffy’s. Andrew came over and we ordered Popeye’s. I am so stuffed. I’m wanting to fall into a food coma but first, a movie, Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Last night I opened this wonderful birthday surprise from Patricia. I had the basic Naked palette but not the ultimate so I’m excited to see what I can create! I haven’t played with eyeshadows in FOREVER! I’ll have to relearn. Hopefully, it’s like riding a bike …

I was going to have lunch with Scruffy but with everything going on and having to make up the hours, we canceled our plans and I grabbed Whataburger and ate it at my desk while I worked.

[2018] 137/365: Deadpool 2

I went home, Scruffy and Luna came over, and I took a quick nap. We had dinner with my parents before we headed out to watch Deadpool 2. The theater was packed and I was a little sad that they didn’t have people dressed as Deadpool and played tricks on people like they did last time. Regardless, I loved the movie. P.S. I just want to mention just how captivating Brianna Hildebrand is and she’s from College Station, Texas! Go her!

Free breakfast at work day! Sausage sandwich, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. The bacon was hands down the best I’ve had in forever! I couldn’t finish everything though, especially that ciabatta. Soon after, I received a text from Scruffy that his Grandfather had passed away in the middle of the night and that everyone was heading over to his Nana’s. Before long, I was speeding down the highway to meet up with everyone.

Since everyone was fasting, Scruffy and I went out for a quick lunch at Roostar. It was actually not as bad as I thought it’ll be though I can’t say the same for the drivers trying to park and exit the parking lot.

[2018] 136/365: Chef Ashy

It was back to Nana’s, mosque, cemetery, and Scruffy’s to feed Luna before finally ending up at Camilla’s for dinner. It’s been a long day, and people constantly told me that I didn’t need to take off work but it was where I needed to be. I’ve never met my grandfathers and if I did, I was way too young to even remember them. Although Scruffy’s Grandfather and I didn’t spend a lot of time together, it was nice to have met him and had him in my presence because, for a couple years, I gained one. As I was helping Ashy in the kitchen, along with many other’s, you’d hear tears and choked up voices saying that this is what he always wanted, everyone together. And there we were.

In happier news — a few days ago I found out Amanda is pregnant! I cannot wait to see pictures of the little one. We used to joke that if she had a red-headed boy, he’ll be mine! haha

In happier, happier news — since it’s officially on Facebook, I can share that Daniel proposed to Liliana and she. said. YES! I cannot wait to witness them tying the knot! (I assumed I’m invited.) I reminded her to not live too far away for too long because she promised me we’d buy a house next to one another and grow old together. haha

[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.
