[2018] 201/365: Lunchtime, Metime

I got off work early today due to all the extra hours I accumulated. It was pretty nice but not having anything planned was kind of hard on me. Instead, I went to sign some documents at the place my car is at now and then headed to lunch. I wasn’t feeling anything so ended up at Shish Kabob Cafe. It was delicious! I didn’t feel the hummus was worth four bucks with the amount I got. It looks like a lot but the bowl plays tricks on your eyes. The tahdig was crispy, yes, but felt more like a chip than what I’m used to. The koobideh was very delicious though. Super juicy and flavourful. Would I come back? Yes, because the meat was that great.

I’m excited about my Liliana adventures. It’s going to be short but I know we’ll make the best of it!

Venturing Out

July 19, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Noah and I walked to McDonald’s today and I quickly filled with regret. I loved that I was out for lunch but fast food always makes me feel belugh after. Lots of talk about friendships, relationships, and college.

[2018] 200/365: A Couple and Their Dog

Actually I think it’s a cat but I secretly like to wish that it was a dog because dogs are the best. I realize seeing this statue so close to my office that I never really took the time to venture out. I’ve only holed myself on my floor and nowhere else and I’ve only been to places that people take me to. I’m not really sure if I would go out more just for lunches but it makes me want to discover more of Houston. Who’s with me?

Three Nice Men

[2018] 199/365: Car Crash

What a scary moment. I was heading over to Mallory’s and a sudden crash changed everything. I’ve never been in an accident so bad that I had to call a tow truck, not even when someone tboned me. My radiator blew and was leaking all over the freeway.

I’m thankful to have hit who I did because he was the NICEST man I’ve ever met when it came to this type of thing. I mean, I’m sorry I hit him (dang stop and go, jutting traffic)but there was not a scratch on his truck and wasn’t going to report it. And he stayed with me through it all.

We were sweating in the heat and he offered to let me sit in his air conditioned truck. Was I afraid he’d kidnap me or something? Yes. But I took that chance. He even helped me out with everything even when the cop (also a nice man) showed up and he even offered to take me home, letting me drop of my package at a postal service too. Like seriously, he was amazing.

And can I just add, the tow truck man was super nice as well? I left my work badge im the car and he met up with me to give it to me since the place he took it to was closing and I wouldn’t have made it in time.

I am blessed to be alive and am still in disbelief to have met such wonderful men in times of trouble.

I’m sad I wasn’t able to workout today. Mum’s orders since I could have gotten hurt from the accident. So it’s me and my Kindle until bedtime.

Dumplings Bringing Back Memories

[2018] 198/365: Memories

Ever since my return to downtown I’ve been searching for this dumpling place where my old mentor would take me once in a while and we would talk about life back in 2007. And today as I went with the kids to lunch at Doozo Dumplings, it hit me that I’ve found it. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was that I was still here and that there was still so many customers till this day. I cannot wait to come back again and eat there dumplings. This is by far the best dumplings in downtown near work that I could find.

Later in the day there was an ice cream social at work to celebrate summer and since it was National Ice Cream Day on Sunday. They had vendors there with BlueBell ice cream with choices of a few flavors and many toppings to choose from. I opted for cookies and cream and lots of sprinkles and mini m&ms. I added the whipped cream, chocolate syrup and cherries for the picture and gladly gave those up to may coworker once I snapped my shot.

Upon arriving home I got on my room machine and rowed while watching One Tree Hill. This is one of my favorite shows and wished I have someone to rewatch it with to share the tears I cry because this show gets me right in the feels.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

[2018] 197/365: Rowing Vigorously

I’m not too sure if I mentioned that I bought a rowing machine a while back. This is during my job searching days and was home all the time and I thought that buying this would help me get into the fitness routine again.I wish that I went and splurged a bit more for the more fancier one but this was a good, decent price and it’s good enough to get me there.

I usually leave this out in the other bedroom but due to all the holidays and special events people have been staying over and I always have to put it up. I finally pulled it out again and thought to challenge myself to do a hundred on the hardest setting and my goodness was it a challenge. But I did it!

Now let’s see how long I can keep this up. Twenty eight days makes it a habit, right? Like blogging everyday this year?
