Dog Filled Day

[2018] 196/365: I Spy Bailey

Luna knows she’s not allowed on the couches at Scruffy’s house so it’s hilarious when we find her like this. Do you spy another dog in the background? That’s Bailey, Scruffy’s cousin’s dog. She’s the nicest, gentlest, and softest dog ever. I was sad to say goodbye to her.

As we watched the world cup, we ordered Domino’s. I wasn’t a big fan of the pizza and for the cost of the pasta and wings, I was disappointed. For wings and pasta with a nice pizza, fast food-wise, I’ll stick with PIzza Hut.

Rizzo will not stop staring at me once I got home. He misses his mummy! haha I’m sad I won’t see him again this weekend but I know he’s in good hands. Plus, I get to see Liliana! It’s been long overdue. We have some things planned but I just mostly want to catch up with her and talk about the wedding. It’ll be a mini-vacation for me too since it’s been awhile since I went somewhere and explored.

Busy Saturday

July 14, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Scruffy and I woke up this morning and ate my leftover pho and Chaurrasco’s for brunch. We got ready and headed to the rehab center where Mama is and paid her a visit since it’s been awhile since I last saw her. She’s up and walking with the help of her walker and brace but she’s doing great.

We stopped by World Market for literally a quick couple of minutes before we had to meet Caitlin, Rami, and Peyton at Pollo Bravo for lunch. Since we ate not too long ago, I opted for the Causa Rellena appetizer (way too dry) while Scruffy got the Pollo Quesadillas (not bad but if the salad was cassava fries it would of been perfect). Thomas met up up with us there and ordered to go.

After lunch I went and got a Milk Tea with lychee jellies at The Teahouse. Bad mistake because I asked for less sugar and got a watered down drink where half was ice. It was so horrible but for five dollars I tried my best to suck down everything.

We then headed to Caitlin, Rami, and Peyton’s where we played a few card games before they left to return a mattress and Scruffy and I left for dinner.

[2018] 195/365: Spicy Hot Pot

We weren’t too sure where to go but decided on hot pot at Little Sheep. Sissy and BIL met up with us at the spur of the moment and it was a fun last minute decision. After our bellies were full we said goodnight and headed home. I’m not too sure what we’re going to do now. I’m assuming telly and then bedtime.

I’m not ready for the weekend to end!

Me, Myself, and Kindle

After work I ran MANY errands. I haven’t had so much time to myself in such a long time. But truthfully, once I’m out, I rather stay out because once I’m home, I never want to leave. I picked up a Wetzel Pretzel Jalapeno Dog once I got to the mall. I’ve always wanted to get one and eat it while I shopped and I finally did. Someone, please tell me where I can buy a bulk of that dog. It was SO juicy and delicious.

[2018] 194/365: Alone Time with My Kindle

After my errands and shopping, my stomach was ready for a full meal. It’s been a while since I sat down in a public place, ate and read a book because I’m all alone. I actually enjoy it a lot. I went through one and a half chapters. So so nice and I had a lot leftover, per usual when I eat pho.

Later in the evening, Scruffy and I went to Churrasco’s. He just got some dental work done so he had to opt for soup. Luckily his other side worked and he was able to chew on some of my meal and more. I have so much leftover as well. Now I have two meals to finish.

Tomorrow’s going to be a long day but I’m excited to see little Peyton!

Free Popcorn

[2018] 193/365: Free Popcorn

Free popcorn is the best popcorn! Work went by quickly today which is always a plus and because of all the hours I accumulated I can leave early tomorrow. Eeek. I’m excited. I’m not too sure what my plans are yet but I don’t care. I have running errands and shopping in mind so we’ll see, we’ll see.

Date Night with Scruffy

July 11, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Work has been AMAZING since I now hang out with nineteen year olds. I’m not even kidding. I went to lunch with the three of them to Peli Deli today.

Natalia and I’s meals of their wings and curry chicken with Mac and cheese and mushrooms. Everything was delicious. I wished a Peli Peli was close by since they have better options but this satisfied me enough.

After work Scruffy and I met up for dinner at Gyu-Kaku Japanese Barbecue Restaurant.

It’s basically Korean Barbecue but with different cuts of meat and flavour. We ordered two different types of meat then a lunch menu with three different other types of meat that came with a salad and miso soup. We upgraded to the garlic rice and added zucchini and mushrooms and beef tounge.

Burn, baby, burn. The only complaint was that their fire burned on one side and left the other flameless so things cooked unevenly. Scruffy was a trooper and I didn’t have to cook much this time. Instead, he served me which made me feel like a queen.

My favourite was the beef tounge. My goodness. I can’t even describe just how amazing it was. It’s really rare for me to find beef tounge, not that I’m always in search of it, but when I see it, usually when it’s grill your own, I’m always down.

Lady M’s Green Tea Millie Crepe with Ice Cream | $10

[2018] 192/365: Lady M’s

This has been a very popular dessert as long as I can remember. So popular that Brudda got it shipped from New York for SIL’s 30th birthday celebration in Dallas so I just had to try it when I saw it on the menu. Scruffy’s not that big of a fan with matcha but he actually tried it and ate two bites before he called it quits. I on the other hand, though delicious, did not think it was worth the $10 price tag but glad I finally got to cross that off the list.

The Astros vs Athletics tickets I won from work a few weeks ago was finally used tonight. Club seats, which made me feel very fancy. To top it off we received replicas of the World Series Championship rings. It was very heavy and sparkly.

Although the game wasn’t that great, upon exiting we received free Pluckers. Ain’t no complaining here. Now we just have to find a time to go.

It’s been a fabulous day of eating and just spending time with Scruffy outside of our houses where we eat somewhere new and do an activity.

Now it’s time to get ready for bed. Night, y’all!
