Johnny Junior Melts My Heart

Snapchat Lamb | Mellie Dee

How creep-tastic is this picture? I love that Snapchat continually put up new filters to play with.

I got to see Mallory after getting off work late. We went to Hasta La Pasta with Johnny Junior and headed back to her house where we found John lounging in his recliner waiting for us to bring him dinner.

I got to hold Johnny which I was super excited about …. except for when he’s crying and having the feeling I might drop him. That boy is a kicker and stretcher. It’s so cute. He’s ready to be a soccer player like his parents.

I got him a traditional Chinese jacket, kind of like a changshan but not long. He won’t fit it for this Chinese New Year but it’ll still be cute for him to be wrapped around it. I can’t wait to see him fit into it fully. Eeeeep!

All about Johnny. Why are babies so adorable?

I’m ready to sleep during the weekend. Who wants to cuddle?

Is It Bedtime Yet?

King's Court | Houston, Texas | Mellie Dee & Scruffy

I cannot keep my eyes open the whole weekend. Scruffy gave me a wake up call at 2pm on Saturday so that I can make it for the Falcons vs Seahawks game at his house. Let’s be honest though, I fell back asleep moments after I arrived until it was time to leave to Sissy’s for the Texans vs Patriots game. I was able to stay awake by playing on my phone during the game but on the drive home it was so bad that I had to sleepover.

Luna's 1st Birthday

I planned on waking up at 6am Sunday but I woke up at 12pm instead. I went home and a few moments later Scruffy came over with Luna since it was her 1st birthday. His job was to keep me awake all day. We went to the pet shop for a birthday gift and got Sushihana to-go. We plan on watching Shameless but it wouldn’t load so I started to fall asleep again and Scruffy fell asleep alongside me until 6pm. We failed.

June's Dishwasher Incident

I wanted to go back to bed when Scruffy and Luna left but June suggested after 9pm was best else I would wake up in the middle of the night. Thank goodness because when I went downstairs for a drink of water I saw bubbles! She accidentally put in Palmolive dish soap instead of dishwasher soap. I have never experienced this before so it was quite funny. I joked that since Chinese New Year is almost here, we were just cleaning. Our floors are sparkling clean now. Hehe

2016 New Years Eve

2017 New Years Eve

Since Scruffy was out of town on his bros-only trip, I spent my new years eve with Michelle and Matthew. We had dinner while knocking back champagne and wine.

2017 New Years Eve | Michelle & Mellie Dee Goofy

We played with Snapchat filters a lot that night while we waited for the ball to drop. This is the definition of our friendship.

2017 New Years Eve | Riley & Dexter

Left: Riley Right: Dexter

These two kept going at it. Whenever Dexter walked by, Riley would lunge at him. So horrible. But they’re cute as long as they were separated. Tigger, the other cat, was too scared to come out.

2017 New Years | Rizzo

I went home afterward and cuddled up with Rizzo. We watched telly until we both fell asleep.

The end.

Things I’m Loving | Kindle Paperwhite

Kindle Paperwhite Sale

The week before Christmas, as I was perusing the internet, I noticed the Kindle Paperwhite was on sale on Amazon.

I mentioned it to my boyfriend because I couldn’t decide if I should get it, adding that it’s good for the eyes for hours of reading and can hold many books.

His short response was that I shouldn’t get it. His reasoning was because I already own an iPad with the Kindle app which was basically the same thing and because I sporadically like to buy physical books.

Though my heart kept going back to it, his voice kept running through my head.

On Christmas morning, as I waited for him to get ready, I decided that I did in fact want it. But when I signed on to Amazon, I discovered the sale was over. I was heartbroken and figured it was meant to be.

I trudged down the stairs to greet his family a Merry Christmas and we all had breakfast. When we started to open presents, I was so surprised I almost cried. That devil played me!

Kindle Paperwhite

If you couldn’t guess it from the title on this post – I now own my own Kindle Paperwhite!

Kindle Paperwhite Fintie Composition Book Cover

I’ve since bought the Fintie Composition Book cover, downloaded a bajillion books, and dusted off my public library card so I can use their free e-book rentals!

Best present I’ve received this Christmas – just in time for my Hong Kong trip! Thanks, Scruffy!

2017 New Year Resolutions

December 31, 2016 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Recap of 2016 New Year Resolutions

  • Continue weight loss – or more specifically toning
    • I totally failed this. I gained all the weight I lost from the previous year thanks to the boyfriend life.
  • Stay in touch and spend more time with family and friends
    • I did way better at staying in touch with family members (thanks to fantasy football) but friends wise, I would say I did way less spending time with them since the ones I usually see either moved away or had a baby.
  • Meet new people
    • Thanks to the boy toy’s friends and family.
  • Read more
    • Read way more than I did last year which is a plus but not as much as I wished I did.
  • Never stop learning
    • I’ve learned so much this year about myself. Some that surprised me and helped me grow a lot.
  • Travel to somewhere I’ve never been
    • Seattle, Vancouver, and Colorado. I’ll say I was super successful in this resolution.
  • Unplug more and just enjoy life
    • I sure did. I was blogging so much in the beginning and started to do it less when I started dating. I also don’t check Facebook as much as I use to which is a plus.

My 2017 New Year Resolutions

  • Focus more on health and fitness
  • Read more
  • Travel somewhere new
  • Blog at least once a week

They are pretty much the same resolutions I have every year but they’re good ones to keep.

Be safe out there! Happy 2017, y’all!
