Some Important Peeps In My Life

June 18, 2014 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I canceled my renew for this domain and have until July 16th to come up with a new one. Once that’s done, I will be letting y’all know by commenting your blogs so keep an eye out!

I had a lovely day. Took a half day, and went with Sissy and BIL to look at houses. I was dying though. It was freaking hot. Yucky Houston summers. Hoping they get a place soon so when I make my downtown drives for the studio I have a place to stay if needed.

Afterward Sammy showed me a new jingle he wrote … hoping he’ll make it longer so I can write words to it – maybe. It’s too all over the place for me to even come up with anything. Then I took a grand nap. And headed over to Painting With A Twist to meet up with Zuco and Mallory.

My finished work. I’m unhappy with the blue funnel. The dude kept telling us we needed it. I think it would of looked better without. Sigh. Never listening to anyone again!

All of our finished work. And Zuco brought me cupcakes from Crave! Good thing I didn’t get her any or else … too many cupcakes! And it’s always a great day when postcards come in the mail! I collect them and my closest friends know. I save them and hope that one day when I have my own place, I can display them along with a gigantic map on a gigantic wall. Thank you, Trisha!

Funny story … to certain people. Zuco was off in college at Texas State this year so I gave her brother, Wacko, her present for him to give her. This was back in Feburary. Today, I was talking to Wacko at work and …

Wacko: “Oh, aren’t you seeing Zuco today?”
Me: “Yeah, why?”
Wacko: “Here, you can give this to her.” *opens drawer and pulls out Zuco’s gift*

Seriously? …. never trust a guy to do anything!

Glad I took the first half of tomorrow off. That means I can sleep late!!

Hope your hump day was just as wonderful as mine!

Dearest Sunday,

Hmmm … this seems familiar.

Dearest Sunday, thank you for being so relaxing. Letting me spend time with my family but also letting me have time alone at my happy place to work on graphic design stuff for a startup company.

Dearest Dad, Happy Father’s Day. I know we rarely get along since we’re both so stubborn but I know you love me and I hope you know that I love you, too. Thank you for always being there for me when I needed it. Hopefully one day I can make you truly proud of me.

Dearest Ed, I realized whenever I hang out with you (and Ryan and Daniel when they’re there) we act like we’re still in high school – immature. Some things never change, and I’m okay with that. Thank you for driving and taking me to try new places. Lowbrow for duck quesadillas, fries, and Emerald Bay Cabernet. Then to Rice University’s Graduate Student-run Pub, Valhalla, where I met a handsome bartender. And writing a very ridiculous short song (ballad?). I hope you find your cotton candy haired girl.

Dear Weekend, it’s been long but I’m thankful for you after all those long meetings and “drama” from a friend’s girlfriend. So happy I got to see my cousins and spend time with them. Also always a pleasure seeing Joanne. Only wished she would stop badgering me to date. But I know she means well.

I hope you all had a great weekend as well!

Until next time,

Happy Place

June 13, 2014 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

Wow! … Three posts in one week. What is going on?

I’ve realized the majority of the people I follow has dropped off the blogosphere to live their lives. So happy for them but I miss reading about their lives! Glad I still have their Instagrams though. Else I don’t know how I would survive. Hmm … that sounds creepy.

Thankful I am able to come to my happy place. I rarely get to come here now. It’s not because I can’t but because I rather stay home and be with Rizzo. Hooray for getting out of work a little earlier than usual!

The manager and I use to talk about how it’s a struggle to lose weight and the first thing she exclaimed was, “You look great!” And for the first time, without hesitation, I thanked her for her compliment because I knew it was a genuine one.

Short post for today because Joanne saw the picture above on Instagram and is now coming to see me! *happydance* And I want to get to some blog readings before she gets here.

Until next time,

Wishful Wednesday

I wish my collarbone was healed already so that I could lift, plank, play guitar, etc.

I wish I was truly happy again. To wake up with positives instead of the negatives.

I wish jealousy wasn’t a thing. That everyone got along with one another and trusts. That friendships don’t end because of it. I want to be able to talk to someone without worrying if someone else might get mad.

I wish I could be with those that saved me without even knowing. To tell them how important they were at the time.

I wish I could fix everything for everyone. To take their pain away. That bad things didn’t happen.

I wish people could see that some people do indeed change for the better. That somewhere down the road, they saw their mistakes and went on to correct them best they could.

I wish that wishes came true.

X-Rays and Dog Parks

June 3, 2014 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2014-05-30 10.51.17

These two poops stayed by my side all last week.

Last Wednesday, after some x-rays, I found out I tore my ligaments around my right collar bone from the accident back in March. Fun stuff. But I still think I fractured it or that it shifted because it still hurts and is bumped up. Doc gave me pain meds but after taking two of them, I stopped.

Hopefully it stops hurting without the meds and I regain my strength again or else I’ll have to get a CAT Scan. I can’t lift weights or play guitar or do anything to irritate it. Whomp. Whomp.

I finally took Rizzo to the dog park today. No pictures though because I was too busy being social and playing with all the dogs there. It ended up being Mallory & John with Lacy & Major, Danielle and her husband with Coco & Cracker Jack, and Samantha.

I was able to convince Sissy and BIL to tag along with Bruno and Rocky. Rocky was HORRIBLE. Hopefully he gets better. He just gets so scared of dogs coming up to him and shows his teeth. Bruno is use to dog parks so he was great and even got into the water … to drink it. Silly.

Rizzo surprised me. I really thought he was going to bark at everyone – humans and canines. But he did very well and got along with all the dogs! He ventured off from me a few times which I’m happy about because he’s usually right beside me. Proud of my little rat. I guess I’ll keep you …

It’s only Tuesday and I’m already burned out. Help.
