Is It Bedtime Yet?

January 16, 2017 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

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!

Pokemon Go and Red Eggs

July 26, 2016 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Luna Sitting on Mellie Dee

Luna loves sitting on me.

I went over to Scruffy’s after work, Friday, empty-handed. I was supposed to pick up Los Cucos for him, but issues with the restaurant occurred and so we ended up eating lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings instead.

Wine and Cheese Plate | Sammy

He plated this fancy snack a few hours later for us to enjoy, all pretty so I could put it on the blog. Sweetheart alert. It was the first time I’ve ever tried a green olive and I surprisingly liked them. I have come to realize, I only hate black olives.

Bonchon | Katy, Texas | Salmon Bomb

Saturday, Mum, June, Brother, and SIL went to Bonchon for lunch. They all loved it especially the fries. We finally got the salmon bomb thing and it didn’t disappoint.

Pokemon Go GPS Error

We got our aunt to drive us around at La Centerra for some Berripop and Pokemon action. Does anyone else get that annoying GPS error? It bounces right back though … not to mention, all those little Rattatas. Ugh.

Pokemon Go Event Petsmart

Speaking of which, Scruffy saw this at Petsmart the other day. You betcha he got his $10 gift card.

Jasmine's Red Egg Party

Jasmine turned one-month-old Friday, so there was a red egg celebration Saturday. A Chinese tradition. Another excuse for a reunion. Always a crazy, loud, time. I loved holding her. Sigh …

Crab Boil

Sunday, we all had brunch before the siblings and significant others left. Later that night was crab boil. Literally just boiling a crab. I’m not a big fan of crab and all that work but it was nice eating together.

Rizzo Mellie Dee Hello

Rizzo and I have been spending a little more time together this weekend since I haven’t been going out as much. We even take long walks after dinner. I’m gonna miss him. No Riz for almost one week seems like torture.

It’s been a long but eventful weekend … filled with Pokemons. haha What has the world come to?
