EID Mubarak!!

June 15, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Today marks the end of Ramadan or as they would say, EID Mubarak! We celebrated by going to Camilla’s house for some light snacks. Jamie made a tomato sauce with egg type thing that you dip with bread. The other crazy looking thing is like a funnel cake but much oilier. They love their carbs! haha

We then went to the Jarro Cafe. It’s been forever and we were bummed when we found out they were all out of pastor. We ended up getting three tacos total, one for each of us and sharing the last one. Yum. I wish they were closer to my house!

We went back to my place, lazed around and headed to 99 Ranch Market before eating dinner at Cravin’ Cajun. I was shocked when Scruffy said he craved it so I agreed to it without hesitation. We ended up order four pounds of crawfish, one pound of shrimp, two corns, and A LOT of potatoes.

It’s been a great day. I really do miss having every other Friday off. It really puts into perspective how much I actually got done not having to work those two Fridays a month. Now to relax for the rest of the weekend.

Team Building at 8th Wonder Brewery

June 14, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Hi lovelies, I am enjoying work especially now that I don’t have to talk to the mean lady as much as I used to. Win! And it helped that I had today’s team building at 8th Wonder Brewery to look forward to. When we got there pizza was already on the tables and we all got a pint glass with three tokens. We chowed down and I met someone that speaks my language! I always get super happy when I meet people who speak in my dialect because it’s so rare.

Soon enough I was at another table playing What Do You Meme? with new people. There were many laughs and inappropriate moments. Whoops … but they were all cool so it all worked out okay.

One of the ladies ordered fries with pulled pork to share with everyone from the Eastie Boyz food truck. I’ve always seen it but never ordered food from there. I was pretty floored that I actually liked the pulled pork more than the fries.

Every thirty minutes from five to eight, they gave out a gift bag. A few of them had Astros tickets and I won one of them!! The game is on a Wednesday … dollar hot dog night!! I was also able to snag fourteen total beer tokens that I can share with Scruffy, Sissy, and BIL next time we go. Eeep! How exciting.

It’s been a great day. A handful of us stayed until nine because we were having such great conversations. I feel better getting the chance to meet more people who I see every day but never speak to. I will have to see them next week though because I have so much overtime that I took tomorrow off. Time to relax, enjoy cuddles with Rizzo, watch TVB shows, and play with my IPad. Night everyone!

Luna Sitting Like A Human

[2018] 164/365: Human Luna

Scruffy took this picture and I thought I’d share since I have been so busy to take a picture for the day. But in all seriousness, who can pass up this picture? She loves sitting like a human and it makes me so happy. If she was wearing clothes, she would definitely look more human! haha

Work has been busy but I’m trucking along. The boss came up to me and told me the mean lady is saying I said this and that and I was just appalled that someone could make up such lies. It’s sad that she has to do that to feel like she has a hold on me or in hopes I’ll get in trouble but I’m not going to let one mean lady (and lady is putting it nicely) stop me from achieving my goals! It’s stressful knowing you have to keep watching your back but it also shows me who I can really trust at work. And even then, I have my walls up so time will tell. I am hoping things get better but that’s the optimist in me.

IPad and Apple Pencil Fun

[2018] 163/365: IPad Notetaking

Work was a bit poopy but I got through it with help from wonderful coworkers.

I left to Waxing the City to get … waxed of course. My lady was super nice.

After I got home I had dinner with the parents and June then it was all IPad and Apple Pencil time while watching my TVB show. I love that they have split screen now!! I’ve been trying to get use to writing on the tablet versus on paper. Sometimes I love the way it looks but other times it could be better therefore there’s a lot of erasing and rewriting to the point where my hand gets tired. Haha Practice makes perfect right?

Saleh and Lacey’s Engagement Party

Breakfast with the usual breakfast buddy talking nonsense before the work began. Corner Bakery has bombass croissant! Luckilywork went well today so that’s a win.

I went home and set up the rest of my iPad since everything came in the headed over to Camilla’s for Saleh and Lacey’s engagement party. We enjoyed delicious Lybian food.

Haha see what I did there. We enjoyed cakes, tea, and coffee after dinner and am now having conversations in a circle.

Happy Engagement, Saleh and Lacey!
