Hairdid

June 5, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I finally got a haircut. I’ve been meaning to get one but have been SUPER busy/lazy. The last time I went was with Scruffy to his aunt’s. That was MONTHS ago! I sat waiting for a good twenty minutes before the receptionist took me to get my hair washed. She wasn’t the best and I felt her nails digging into my scalp. I guess that’s her way of “massaging.” Also, the seat didn’t have a footstep so I was on my tiptoes the whole time putting a strain on my neck but whatevs.

I waited for a while longer sitting in the seat before this lady cut my hair. She was super duper nice and I actually like how my hair came out! I have to wait until I wash and blow dry myself, but overall, it wasn’t bad. I was so happy to have found her and hoped she could do my hair FOREVER … but she’s pregnant and will not be of service any longer. Plus this place was supposed to be on the way home from work but they will be moving to a different location later in the year. Sigh. I haven’t looked up to see if it’s still going to work out but fingers crossed because if this lady is good, I am hoping the other two that work there will be too.

Now off to snuggle with Rizzo until bed time. Night, y’all!

On The Right Track

[2018] 155/365: Delicious Breakfast

Guys, I’ve been to Black Walnut Cafe a handful of times and I’ve never felt this place was good enough until today. The meats were on point, the potatoes were perfect, and the eggs were delicious. Just everything … ugh. I like when food makes your day better. Maybe that’s why I’m a fattie.

Another thing about work … something magical happened. The mean lady had a 360 and have been super nice and helpful today. I’m not sure what happened but I’m thankful it did. I am able to do my work and get back on the right track. Sometimes, I feel like she could be lying about some things so that I look bad but other times I think I’m just overthinking it. I’ll go with the latter and hope for the best.

2018 Dad’s Birthday

June 3, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

We took a group picture before heading back to Houston. Scruffy and I stopped by Hong Kong Cafe, ordering takeout. While we were waiting for our food, we stopped by the sushi place next door and enjoyed a few pieces. Once we got our food, we stopped by Eck Bakery and picked up a dozen of egg tarts for Dad. When we got home, we ate our foods then showered, waiting for Sissy and BIL to arrive.

We played San Juan, a new board game Scruffy got him. We all enjoyed it and then ended up going to Tasty Ko for Dad’s (and Scruffy’s) birthday dinner. I was surprised that we cleared out EVERYTHING. Only less than a handful of meat was left!

We then went home, cut the cake and Dad opened his presents before Sissy, BIL, Scruffy, and Luna left back to their own homes.

I’m so sleepy, I’m ready to go to bed, but not ready to go to work. I wish everyone only worked four work days with three day weekends. I feel like everyone would be much more productive.

2018 Scruffy’s Birthday

June 2, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

After eating breakfast, the birthday boy opened all his presents.

We then got ready and headed to the beach for a couple of hours before heading back to the beach house to clean up.

[2018] 153/365: Happy Birthday, Scruffy!

Scruffy and I all clean and ready to head to The Strand where there are shops and restaurants and where you can drink on the streets.

I opted for a Peach Bellini from Lapalapa. I chugged it fast because the next place we wanted to go to doesn’t let outside drinks.

When we got to Murphy’s Irish Pub Jamie ordered a cheese pizza and Scruffy ordered a beer and a couple Irish Car Bombs for him and Rami.

Chugging the Bellini wasn’t a smart idea because I started to feel sick. Thank goodness for that tiny slice of pizza that made me feel better. I am bold enough to say that this is one of the best pizzas I’ve had.

Soon later we all headed to the Black Pearl for Scruffy’s birthday dinner.

This is all the different foods I tried. We ordered way too much and am we packed the leftovers to go. This place isn’t bad. The gumbo is one of the best I’ve had. They give so much seafood! The etouffee could have been better. I would come back for the gumbo and oysters!

Now we are heading back to the beach house. I cannot wait to change out of these clothes and relax with a board game.

Galveston Beach

June 1, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

The day started with me eating leftover KFC while Scruffy and his parents cooked themselves breakfast. As I was getting ready they got pulled into the BP oil spill movie. It was so sad watching it since it was an incident that never should have happened.

When that ended, his parents went to the beach and Scruffy and I headed to the oil rig for a tour. As we were driving we realized just hot and humid it was and decided to do something else instead since the rig was going to be all outside. We passed by Pleasure Pier, somewhere I always wanted to do but the dang weather wasn’t cooperate.

We decided to pick up some things from Kroger and I picked up a vanilla bean frappacino to curb the dizziness I was getting from the heat.

We headed back to the house, ordered pickup pizza from Mario’s Pizza because Papa John’s said we were too far for delivery. Sigh …

Scruffy picked it up while I set up the Castle of Burgundy game. This pizza was actually decent. The only complaint we had was that they folded our pizza because it didn’t fit the box which in return ruined those two slices since the toppings slid right off. But no big deal.

We only got through the first phase of five of the game before Rami, Caitlin, and Peyton came walking through the door. We packed up the game and played cards instead before heading to the beach.

It didn’t take long until we went back to the beach house and ordered dinner from Bluewater Grill & Ignoble Pizzeria. The food wasnt the best. They tasted like store bought everything.

Onething that was super disappointing was that they said their fries are different. When we opened the box expecting amazingness we saw dry, hard fries instead. This is definitely not a place we suggest.

I’m not too certain what the plans are now but I’m ready to fall straight to sleep it I could.
