Free Breakfast Sandwich from Work

Free breakfast at work day! Sausage sandwich, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. The bacon was hands down the best I’ve had in forever! I couldn’t finish everything though, especially that ciabatta. Soon after, I received a text from Scruffy that his Grandfather had passed away in the middle of the night and that everyone was heading over to his Nana’s. Before long, I was speeding down the highway to meet up with everyone.

Roostar | Houston, Texas | Rice Dish

Since everyone was fasting, Scruffy and I went out for a quick lunch at Roostar. It was actually not as bad as I thought it’ll be though I can’t say the same for the drivers trying to park and exit the parking lot.

[2018] 136/365: Chef Ashy

It was back to Nana’s, mosque, cemetery, and Scruffy’s to feed Luna before finally ending up at Camilla’s for dinner. It’s been a long day, and people constantly told me that I didn’t need to take off work but it was where I needed to be. I’ve never met my grandfathers and if I did, I was way too young to even remember them. Although Scruffy’s Grandfather and I didn’t spend a lot of time together, it was nice to have met him and had him in my presence because, for a couple years, I gained one. As I was helping Ashy in the kitchen, along with many other’s, you’d hear tears and choked up voices saying that this is what he always wanted, everyone together. And there we were.

In happier news — a few days ago I found out Amanda is pregnant! I cannot wait to see pictures of the little one. We used to joke that if she had a red-headed boy, he’ll be mine! haha

In happier, happier news — since it’s officially on Facebook, I can share that Daniel proposed to Liliana and she. said. YES! I cannot wait to witness them tying the knot! (I assumed I’m invited.) I reminded her to not live too far away for too long because she promised me we’d buy a house next to one another and grow old together. haha

Poor, Lonely Rizzo

2018 | 135/365 | Rizzo

[2018] 135/365: Lonely Rizzo

If Rizzo could talk, he’d tell you how much he misses me now that I’m at work. He gets so overly excited when I walk in the door and even picks up toys for me to play with him and he’s not even into toys! If I could, I’d pick a job where I get to spend more time at home. Sigh … maybe when I’m older.

Birthday Starbucks

May 14, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 134/365 | Free Birthday Starbucks Drink

[2018] 134/365: Free Birthday Starbies

I stopped by Starbucks this morning to use my birthday credit for a giant iced upside-down caramel macchiato. I haven’t had such a giant Starbucks drink in such a long time. I remember always ordering one before I started my trip back home from college or vice versa.

Free Breakfast Tacos at Work

Our free breakfast this Monday consists of breakfast tacos. They actually tasted very good, unlike my old workplace.

Work has been going a bit slow since my coworkers are all busy and it’s hard to schedule learning time. Sigh. Slowly, but surely, right?

Mother’s Day Brunch & Birthday Date with Scruffy

May 13, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Peli Peli | Katy, Texas | 2018 Mother's Day Brunch

Brunch for Mother’s Day at Peli Peli. They even had a deal that each mama dining in gets a $25 gift card. How sweet!!

The food here is to DIE for. I loved everything that went in my mouth. My recommendations are the Cape Town Skillet (#1 favourite), the bobotie, the roasted potatoes, and the Chilean sea bass (the Brussels sprouts are perfection!).

JJ and Leaves

While we were in the restaurant, Scruffy spotted Mallory, John, and JJ walking around outside. I made a call and met them outside. I’m so happy I got to see them on my birthday!! Every time I see JJ, he gives me the stink eye look and I feel a minute later, he recognises who I am and is all giggly and smiling. He was so intrigued by the leaves and kept bending over to touch them.

Green Tea Frap | Starbucks

After brunch, Brudda, SIL, and Emmy packed up on their way back home. Mum, Scruffy, BIL, and I played a few rounds of Deception in Hong Kong, a board game before Sissy and BIL left back to their own homes. Scruffy and I headed out to celebrate some birthday festivities. We started out at Starbucks to get my free birthday drink, but I decided to use that tomorrow before work instead and opted for the smallest green tea frap.

Rocket Fizz | Houston, Texas

We then made our way to Dave & Buster’s. We walked around the area, walking into Rocket Fizz to check out their candies. We didn’t end up buying anything but it was nice to go into the air-conditioned store since it was so hot out.

2018 | 133/365 | Dave & Buster's | Houston, Texas

[2018] 133/365: Dave & Buster’s Birthday Fun

We finally made it to Dave & Buster’s. I’m not too certain how long we were there and although it is a “waste” of money, it was nice to make those memories with him. I’m a kid at heart when it comes to romance so this was perfect. We were sweating through our clothes but we charged on. I ended up with a Magnetic Stand Timer with the tickets we collected. We had 90 left over but figured we can use that next time if we somehow decide to come back.

Pastor Tacos and Kobe Beef

He wanted to take me to a French restaurant but I opted to eat the pastor that’s seasoned back home and make tacos. Since we were passing by H-Mart, we stopped by to buy some groceries, just because, and ended up getting Kobe Beef slices. They are the best things ever. Super fatty, but so tender, and delicious.

I had the best time and am thankful Scruffy catered to me all weekend! Another amazing birthday in the books!

Early Birthday and Mother’s Day Feasts

May 12, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Cravin Cajun | Katy, Texas

Cravin Cajun for the win. Sissy and BIL treated the parents, Scruffy, and I to yet another early birthday meal of delicious crawfish and etouffee.

2018 | 132/365 | Mother's Day Dinner

[2018] 132/365: Mother’s Day Dinner

We played board games and such before heading to Gordon’s for an early Mother’s Day dinner with the family.

Birthday Card from Mallory and John

Came home to a lovely, cute birthday card from Mallory and John.

Now everyone is sitting around playing games so I’m going to sign off. Night y’all!
