Just Another Monday

Mellie Dee & Rizzo

What I did for a while upon coming home Sunday. Just laying with Rizzo and not doing anything. He was willing to let me squeeze him so he must of missed me a lot!

Yesterday went by fairly quickly which was surprising because I wasn’t fully concentrating at work. After dinner at Sissy’s, I went and picked up Sebastian a block from his workplace so we could go to the studio. I don’t understand how he can just eat at a restaurant by himself. It took a lot of time to build up the courage for me to even go to the coffee shop and sit there by myself to work on graphic designing stuff. Maybe one day though. I heard it’s a pretty great experience. 

Pinata Ed at the Studio

A 10 minute ride to the studio ended up being 20 partly because we’re not paying attention but mostly because he has the worst sense of direction. I always end up listening to him and we always get lost.

Upon entering the studio, everyone was taking selfies with pinata Ed. Ed wasn’t going to make this taping we so decided to dedicate this episode to him where we end up smashing his head … filled with trash … with a bat. It was a good episode. A lot of laughs and smooth sailing.

Mellie Dee at the Studio

I’ve been asked what I do at the studio. And my answer is pretty much anything and everything. I’ve done it all except be on screen. I’ve been on screen in the past before this show and I can honestly say I like it better in the background. I get a headset and mostly just boss people around during the show. After the show, I point out the positives and negatives and advise them on what to do to make everything better. It’s been rough but we’re slowly getting there.

We’re putting a vote to see if we want to do a Season 4. I’ve mentioned I might not show up every episode but I know Ed and John will call for advice if I’m not there so I’ll have my hand in it either way.

Mick and Sebastian at Tout Suite

Afterward, Mick, Sebastian, and I went to Tout Suite while everyone else went to a bar. We spent awhile there just talking about girls and traveling and plain nonsense. This is only the second time I’ve met Mick but I can now say I know a professional tennis player on top of already knowing professional basketball players. I’m awesome, I know.

Anytime I have to take Sebastian back to his car, we have a good 30+ minutes to catch up. We always talk about the most random things but it’s usually relationships, music, and weddings. Apparently I’m a flirt like him which surprised me since I’m always told I suck at it. Plus a lot of the times I only talk to people to be nice. We’re thinking of possibly doing open mic night but that’s up in the air. We shall see.

Overall, it wasn’t as bad of a Monday as I thought it’ll be. Hopefully the rest of the week is just as great.

Can I Take A Forever Vacation?

Over Working

How is the weekend already over?

This year has been going by so fast since most of my weekends have been taken up. All I want to do is travel.

Have you heard about Gunnar Garfors? He traveled to all 198 countries before turning 40. You can read an article on that here.

So … who wants to be my travel buddy? Teehee

How I felt on the ride back from the Big D.

It was a pretty chill bachelorette party overall since we did the crazy pre-bachelorette back in December. Possibly more on this weekend’s festivites some time this week.

Off to run errands before the week begins. Hope y’all had a great weekend!

Until next time,

Three Things (Plus One) Thursday

Pretty much how I felt yesterday (actually … most days haha) after my computer decided, “Nope, I’m done for today.” And killed itself. 2 hours of work unsaved, windows all gone. I was so irritated by the IT guy, I wanted to jump over his desk and drop kick him in the face for stopping every few minutes to text. By the time I got back to my desk, I couldn’t be bothered by anyone or anything. I kind of just … zoned out until it was time to leave. I guess I finally learned to care a little less about work.

I sent this picture to Sissy and asked if she still wanted to do elephant tours through the jungle when we get to Thailand. I don’t want to witness that pressure nor flooding. haha The last time we did a family trip was back in 2006 when my brother graduated from high school so I’m excited every single one of us is finally able to get together to do a trip. Although we’re not all going to Thailand together, at least we get to spend time with Mum’s side of the family together. I just hope I can get to Victoria Peak this time.

This … their voices. The ability to make music with just that. I could watch/listen to acapella forever. Gah … I wish I was this talented.

Breathing

After over 700 posts, you’d think I’ll have better titles…

I didn’t know my last post was public until I received these two quote poster thingies (above & below) telling me to never give up. With the words written out, my thoughts are less jumbled. The weight is off my chest and I’m able to breathe again. I am hopeful there won’t be any more future triggers but if it happens, I’ll learn from it so I can move on. I won’t push it aside so it could destroy anything else.

For what I did mess up, if we both believe we can go back to how we were, we’d have to work on rebuilding our friendship first – even if that’s all we can ever be. It doesn’t seem he wants to but because I trust him and his words to be genuine, I’m giving him his space and time. I’ve taken a step back to not overthink and to care a little less. And that’s all I can do.

Work has been on full mode since Friday. And I’m already stressed about the projects piling up. To split my time 50/50 between 2 teams is hard when there are deadlines.

Speaking of jobs, I had an interview/offer but I declined. It would of been a pretty cool to go to the rigs once in a while and fly to other states but … who would want to move to Oklahoma? Lame. Why is only Oklahoma and Houston looking for me? Come on Colorado! haha I’m not too sure if I would up and move but if the opportunity presented itself pretty well, I might just take it.

Yesterday after work, I went to get alterations for a dress because fat girl over here. I was having issues with the bust area not zipping up. And when the lady went to do her thing she gave me a weird look and … zipped it up! WTF. How? Gahhh I was so happy. I wasn’t able to take deep breaths and I had to stand very straight but … it zipped! haha I was even tall enough with my heels that I didn’t need to hem. It was a pretty rad feeling walking out. So that’s an accomplishment for the year.

Hopefully by the time I need to wear it, it’ll be better fitted.  Now I just need to starve myself for a little over the next 2 months. haha jk … maybe.
