2018 Jamie’s Birthday

June 30, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I went and picked up lunch for Scruffy and I at Bombay Grill. I haven’t had it in a long time since Scruffy got sick from them. We came to a conclusion that it was most likely their yogurt so we steer clear of that now. We ordered hot since the medium was never spicy enough and it was perfect!

We went and visited Mama in the hospital. Jamie and Ashy came home and Jamie opened her birthday present a day early. I’m excited to see the tea flowers bloom.

For her birthday dinner we went to Bistro Provence. Scruffy’s boss used to take him here when he worked at the other company so I was excited we were finally getting to try it.

[2018] 181/365: Best Dang Dinner

Okay, it’s not the best dinner but it was dang delicious. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a French restaurant and eaten like this so it hit the spot. Everyone loved my duck entree and we all agreed the foie gras was on point.

Can anyone take me to France? I want to eat like the French … and maybe then I’ll lose a few pounds. haha

Best Dang Fried Chicken

[2018] 180/365: Luna and Rizzo Cuddles

After work today I arrived at Scruffy’s and I was able to get in some cuddles with Luna and Rizzo. Some alone time where I watched YouTube videos and played my games.

I made the veggies while Scruffy made the fried chicken – from scratch. And it tasted on point! Until the fryer broke resulting in some pieces not getting that second fry. The Brussels sprouts were pungent In a not so good way that we chucked them. They were bad but Ashy thought it was still good so we continued making them … good thing he realized after the bake, just how horrible they were. Scruffy’s conclusion is that he’d rather go and buy the dang chicken next time and that it wasn’t worth the time it took to make it. I disagree because I liked his more that other fried places but oh well.

Game Night

[2018] 179/365: Sequence Board Game

Scruffy came over with Luna after work to have dinner with me and my family. After going to the pet store and Wal-Mart we headed home to play Sequence with Mum. She rarely plays games with us so it was a big win.

Scruffy took Rizzo home with him so it’ll be a night without my baby. But that also means not having to take him out in the morning. Yay!

JJ and I’s First Time at Chuck E. Cheese

June 27, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

After work I met up with Mallory and JJ at Chuck E. Cheese. I’ve never been here before so I didn’t know what to expect. But I did expect the mouse to be creepy x1000 (picture above of statue for proof). Surprisingly the costume looked normal and wasn’t as scary but the girls who were in the suit were super lazy to say the least. The kids like it regardless since they make it rain tickets.

Mallory and I each got pizza and beer, water for JJ. I did expect the pizza to be killer since Scruffy raved about it before and it was! I was extremely surprised. The bottom was crispy but it was still thick enough and the crust tasted like garlic butter. I want to pop out a kid just to get this again. I’m sure they have rules where you don’t need to have a kid if you’re just getting pizza, right?

[2018] 178/365: JJ and His Pizza

This is my favourite picture of JJ. He was walking, pizza in hand taking little bites. It was the cutest thing ever. When he got all into the games he handed me his pizza like, “hold this while I play”.

Mal and I entertained him with games. He loves anything with buttons but was especially enamored with the soccer one where a coin drops out. He picks it up and we roll the coin in where tickets come out. He loved ripping the tickets out and handing it to me. So cute.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen them and he’s grown so much. Sigh, makes me miss my niece and wish she was closer.

Another Sick Day

Delicious pesto pasta with a sunnyside egg for lunch. #winning Not really … I had to be home again since the stomach isn’t 100%. It’s not all the way okay but I need to go in tomorrow. Wahh … Anyway doesn’t the face look like a face?

[2018] 177/365: Testing Rizzo’s Patience

Rizzo did well with his heart shaped treat on his back. I’m surprised! He’s definitely not like Rocky and Luna. They usually move when I do this. He waited till I said okay. So good.
