A Better World Begins With You

Breakfast Tacos at Work

Work went pretty well this morning. My breakfast buddy was back from his vacation so we went and grabbed our usual free Monday breakfast. Today we had breakfast tacos and he talked about things that went wrong on his trip and I talked about buying houses. I’m always looking to buy a place for myself but have never found the perfect one which I know is not possible but a girl likes to dream. Until then I’ll be saving up money and living at home with the parents the Asian way.

Anyway, something happened to my stomach. It felt like someone punched me there and made me super nauseous. I suggested to go home and if my boss wanted, I could work from home. Instead she told me to take the day off and I pretty much just had hot flashes, laid in bed or was in the restroom if you know what I mean.

[2018] 176/365: Tiffany Haddish’s Happiness Tweet

This quote popped up while I was on “bed rest”. It’s something that resonates with me and something I try very hard to carry out because it’s something I truly believe in. A better world begins with you.

Stay positive and think good thoughts.

Seared Scallops For Days

Rizzo and Luna Sleeping

I am really loving how Luna and Rizzo can get along really well in the sense that they can sleep together in the same bed and her head is on his ass and he doesn’t even care. I feel like they’ve been playing a lot more to which is always a good sign.

We didn’t do much today. Super relaxing. Scruffy and I watched Wonder Woman, finally! Gal Gadot was made for that role. She looked amazing as Wonder Woman and did such an amazing job.

After the movie we lazed a bit more resulting into me taking a thirty minute nap. We decided to go to Kura Revolving Sushi. It has easily become our favorite place but sadly today Scruffy was not able to get the salmon that he wanted. Apparently they weren’t the best looking. I on the other hand went crazy and got plates and plates of seared scallops and was in heaven. I can eat those FOREVER!

We stopped by 85 Degree for me to pick up a couple of baked goods. Scruffy decided on a frozen taro drink. Soon enough I was dropping him off, picking Rizzo up and heading home.

I have since did an extensive facial which included an exfoliation, a face wash, a mud mask, a nose and chin pore strip, and a hydrating facial mask. My skin feels like a baby’s butt.

I’m also happy to share I’m back to meal prepping. I made an avocado pesto pasta type thing with lots of veggies. It is so creamy and delicious and it gives me something to look forward to everyday.

Now it’s time to relax before bed time. Bye lovelies!

Pool Day

2018 | 174/365 | Pool Day

[2018] 174/365: Pool Day

Horea and the kids came over for a quick pool day. The kids are still a bit shy but they’re breaking out of their shell and soon enough they were holding my hand, asking me to flip them upside down and whatnot. I had a very fun time with them.

Burgers and Hot Dogs

Scruffy even made hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone. I opted to wrap mine with lettuce instead of buns and it was equally delicious.

We played in the pool a bit more and then they left for a church event. That’s also around the time Rami, Caitlin, and Peyton showed up. We played with Peyton for a bit before they left as well. Ashy and Jamie went to the hospital while Scruffy and I laid on the couch. I think I took a short nap then too.

The Pho Shack | Sugar Land, Texas | Pho and Egg Rolls

Jamie, Scruffy, and I went to The Pho Shack for dinner. They used to have the worst broth I’ve ever tasted and we vowed we wouldn’t be back. But about half a year ago, I wasn’t feeling well and really wanted broth for my throat and this was the closest pho place. We were floored by how much different the soup was and now it’s one of our favourite pho places!

Now it’s iPad and telly fun time. Good night, lovelies!

Heal Up, Mama

Free Breakfast at Work

Breakfast at work was delicious as usual. Work flew by as well with great conversations with Lil-P. Soon enough I was out the door running errands.

While at work I received horrible news. Scruffy’s Grandma, Mama, fell and broke a part of her spine. I’m not too certain of all the details but they won’t be operating on her due to her age and will be giving her a brace instead. Sucks … not too sure how it’ll be but I guess time will tell.

[2018] 173/365: Pastor Tacos

Scruffy and I prepped dinner and had it ready when Ashy came back from the hospital. I used lettuce as my taco shells whole everyone else used tortillas. Everything was delicious but the jalapeño avocado salsa stole the show. It’s definitely Scruffy and I’s go to now.

We are currently all watching Please Stand By and it’s actually really good. Go check it out if you haven’t!

Snappy Salads | Houston, Texas

2018 | 172/365 | Snappy Salads | Baja Shrimp Wrap

[2018] 172/365: Snappy Salads’ Baja Shrimp Wrap

I was sitting there, minding my own business, when a secretary came up to me and asked if I wanted free food for lunch. I was hesitant since I had leftover Chipotle in the fridge but when she told me it was from Snappy Salads, I jumped at the chance. I’ve been meaning to try this place but never had the courage to. There were a couple salads and a few different wraps left on the table and I snagged a Chipotle Chicken wrap for Lil-P and a Baja Shrimp wrap for myself. I am FLOORED by how delicious it was. I am excited to order from them in the future. They have HORRIBLE reviews so I am going to omit noting them but their complaints were nothing major. Just straight pettiness.

Cravin Cajun | Crawfish and Shrimp

Work flew by and soon enough I was home and Scruffy and Luna were on their way over. Luna played with all the pups while he and I went on our crawfish and shrimp date at Cravin’ Cajun. This time it was two pounds of crawfish, two pounds of shrimp, one corn, one cup of mushrooms, and eight potatoes. I still felt it was a lot of food. Now that my appetite is a bit smaller, we’ve been trying to gauge what is the right amount of food. I tend to over order because I want to try EVERYTHING and I know I can always take it home to eat later. I’m trying to do less of that, but it’s still hard.

Tomorrow is Friday and I cannot wait! Another busy weekend but I know it’ll be worth the memories!
