Frosty Paws

July 12, 2016 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Last week was hella crazy and stressful. Long story short, I ended up with over nine hours of overtime in less than two days for work. Luckily, I finished everything early last Friday and got to leave early.

I went over to The Joint where the chiropractor was shocked by how badly I was aligned. ALL because of work. I felt so much better after.

I went over to Scruffy’s hoping for a nap but ended up going to Wal-Mart, Cici’s Pizza, and Dairy Queen. Cici’s quality is going way down, not that it was ever up to begin with. But their food is all starting to taste the same and the only way you can tell a difference is if they used tomato sauce or Alfredo sauce for the pizza. Thankfully, Dairy Queen made up for it. We both got ice cream cones and I had mine dipped in chocolate. We both only ate the bulb of our ice cream before throwing it out.

That night was also Kenson’s birthday celebration at Crazy Cat Escape Room, the dining room edition then MKT Bar for dinner.

The dining room version was a better-executed room than the one we did during July fourth weekend. All the clues went with one another and made more sense. If we had ten minutes more (or the missing two), we would have escaped with the will in time!

I’m not a big fan of MKT Bar. Overpriced with bad service pretty much every time I come here. I really wish I could love this place.

I got the pups some Frosty Paws, peanut butter flavor. Look at their tounges. They shared one and enjoyed it the whole entire time. I’m thinking of making my own since they are expensive.

Then this happened. Too cute. Too funny.

July Fourth Weekend

This weekend was pretty chill. Just how I like it! Since, you know, independence and shiet. I do what I want.

Friday, July 1st

I spent most of my morning/afternoon at Kung Fu Tea. It didn’t realize how long I was sitting there until the owner asked me if I wanted water. Whoops.

Later that night, Michelle and I finally got to see one another. We met up at La Finca for dinner where we had a rude busboy. Then we headed to Ohh La La Bakery in the same shopping center where I blogged a little while catching up some more with her and playing with Snapchat filters. That went on for a good hour plus.

Saturday, July 2nd

Jamie was having a little birthday celebration with her family and invited me along. While we were waiting to leave, something came over me and I grabbed a guitar, looked up some chords, and jammed out. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that and it felt good.

We headed to Niko’s Niko’s for a late lunch where I ordered the Gyro Sandwich with oven potatoes. Meh on the potatoes. Scruffy’s fries were so much better. They ordered some desserts as well which was all too sweet for me. I surprisingly liked the Napoleon which is just Phyllo dough with cream.

After lunch, we headed to the Crazy Cat Escape Room for The Western Saloon Robbery. It was our first experience and we were not amused. We were able to escape two minutes before we were to fail. If the lady hadn’t given us clues every few minutes, we wouldn’t have gotten anything. She confessed that no one would be able to put a lot of the stuff together which translates to a poorly thought out escape room.

Scruffy and I have another one this coming Friday but with my family. I’m hoping it’ll be better since we’ll be doing a different room but I don’t have high hopes since it’s from the same company.

Ashy had bought Jamie a Coupe as a surprise but he had to hide it in Rami and Caitlin’s garage until the big reveal. So we all headed over there to “pick up” stuff and when the garage opened – SURPRISE! She started tearing up – I love when surprises go as planned. It was my first time seeing it in person and all that came to mind was that it looks like a bumper car.

Scruffy and I went to the store and got cocktail shrimp and ingredients to make sandwiches and jalapeno dip. We watched random things on the telly then he played video games as I napped before heading home.

Sunday, July 3rd

June, the parents, and I went to Crown Seafood Restaurant for dim sum with Grandma and Kenny. This place apparently opened earlier in the year and was getting a lot of customers. They do not taste like home, but it will have to suffice.

The rest of the day was just blog fixer uppers and watching movies and telly shows. Being lazy never felt so good. I bet Rizzo loved me being home almost the entire day.

Monday, July 4th

Sissy and BIL had just arrived back from their vacation so the parents, June, and I met up with them for some Katy Pho. I’m not a big fan of this place. If you want good pho that’s worth your money, go to Pho Saigon right across the street.

I headed to Scruffy’s for some shopping after lunch. We stopped by Carl’s Jr. so that he could have a bite before heading to Petco and Marshall’s. I finally found a purse (!!) while he found a belt, socks, and a neck cushion to be used on our upcoming vacation.

I had plans to work at the coffee shop after but ended up at Connie’s Fourth of July BBQ. The food was so dang good. I need to get a grill at home so I can do the same! I would grill ~~all day, every day~~ most of my meals if I could.

Scruffy, his Gma, and I went back to his house where he played video games with Blake while I finally sat down to fix up the blog. After Scruffy was done, we went downstairs and watched telly with his Gma while planning more of our vacation. I totally forgot we had to work the next day and on my drive home, I saw all the beautiful fireworks in the sky. It was gorgeous!

I hope you all had a great Fourth as well. Our next holiday is not until September for Labour Day. Thank goodness I have our vacation to look forward to.

Kung Fu Tea | Katy, Texas

Kung Fu Tea
501 S Mason Road
Katy, TX 77450

The owner is cute and super polite. She told me they opened only a couple of weeks ago and her two children were there helping out as well.

Things to remember: They have happy hour every Monday thru Friday from 5 pm to 7 pm where you buy one, get one free. And like all bubble tea places, if you collect ten stamps, you’ll get one free.

They have super cute decor. I didn’t actually sit on the couches, but I overheard a lady telling her dude that they’re very comfortable.

This is my favourite out of the whole shop. Good use of the ceiling and a super long table if you have big groups. They have more seats and tables like these on the other side along with booth like seats. Super comfortable and bright with a lot of plugs everywhere. Perfect for working!

Almond Milk Tea | $3.50

I ordered a medium sized with half the sugar. I added nata jelly which is essentially a type of coconut jelly. At least that’s what the lady told me. It was very weird because I’m not a fan of coconut, but … this wasn’t bad.

Is it my favourite place for bubble tea in Katy? Probably not. Mostly because I get hungry after working for a few hours and not serving any foods makes this place lose some points. But since it is a chain shop, there’s nothing they can do about it, huh?

Back to organizing my pictures. So. Many. Pictures.

2016 Summer Getaway

Scruffy and I have always discussed going on a trip out of Texas in the past and in less than a couple of days, flights, lodging, and transportation were all booked for the end of July for Seattle and Vancouver.

I cannot wait to get out of this humid Texas weather and into more cooling temperatures. I’m certain after visiting, I’ll be wanting to move like I did when I visited Portland a couple of years back. Sigh … my family picked the wrong place to live.

All we have left to plan are places to eat, attractions to see, and things to do. We have both never been to these places before, so it’ll be an interesting, new experience for us both. I cannot wait until the day comes … that is if we don’t kill one another trying to figure everything out.

I am currently in the process of updating things for the blog. I miss writing about life and all the experiences I go through which mostly means restaurants and occasional activities. I’ve been getting back to stalking people and their lives as well. I miss it.
