Is It The Weekend Yet?

February 15, 2016 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Hi, there!

If you jump over, you’ll see the blog got a makeover Friday. Not 100% sure how I like it and might rework the code to make it more my own (fonts and colors and such) but it shall do for now. I freaked out at around 12 am because it had an error message and it wouldn’t let me navigate anywhere but to the error page. Luckily I figured out the back end and re-coded the error and viola … so proud of myself. I miss the stress that comes from coding errors.

I had one of the best Valentine’s weekend ever. Massages, eating at new places, movies, being driven places, and the such. More on that sometime this week. But I would say, I watched Deadpool for the second time in a week. Because it was that great. So … seriously, get off your butt and watch it.

My brother totaled his car a few weeks ago and this weekend my dad totaled his. Oy vey. Luckily everyone is okay. I’m sad to see the Camry go. Friends, dance and sport practices, tournaments, boyfriends, hospital visits, etc. … so many college memories were in that car. Bye, bye Camry.

Maybe I’ll take this Friday off. This weekend was definitely draining … but in a good way.

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Trey just showed me this song tonight and I realized I haven’t posted today so I thought I’d stop what we’re doing and share. It’s a sad song, but a sweet, sad song. I’m usually a hater of songs that repeat the same lines over and over again but I ended up loving it. “I wasn’t expecting that …” Get it? haha

Hope you’re all having a great Valentine’s weekend. 🙂

Deadpool Movie

February 12, 2016 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

You know those crazy people that go and stand in line opening night and wait for a few hours before they’re seated so they can pick the “best seat” in the theater? Yeah, I’m not one of those people. I don’t really do those crazy opening nights type of deals. I usually wait until the theater is about to take it off the big screen or until it comes out on DVD or something because crowds.

But it was different this time around because Deadpool. I’ve been waiting for this movie since before they even talked about making a movie. And if you don’t know who Deadpool is, I don’t know if we can be friends anymore.

People ask me who he is. Apparently, he’s not very well known. Then they ask why he’s my favourite. Because I suck at video games but love playing, when games had him in it, I would choose him. He could heal on his own so I wouldn’t die as fast. And because of that I Googled him and found out he’s a freaking badass but a good person and super romantic at heart. But overall, I fell in love with his humor and sarcasm. And ever since then I was in love … with a comic book character.

Back in the beginning of January, there was a Groupon for Alamo Drafthouse and saw I could reserve my seats for Deadpool. I was surprised to find that though the movie doesn’t come out until midnight on the 12th, they were having some earlier showings on the 11th. Um … hello, duh. And since then, I’ve been patiently counting down the days.

People asked why I’d pick row 1 thinking it’s right at the front … to clear that up, it’s actually like the third from the back. Best seats ever, k? Cool.

Yesterday we finally made our way to the theater and I don’t think anyone would believe me if I told them I had chills from all the excitement that I couldn’t hold in especially because …

… when we arrived, we saw there were people dressed up as Deadpool and my heart leaped. How lame is that?

Like “Hello, Melissa … Deadpool is only fictional.”

Like “Duh, I know.”

So if you wanna get with me, I guess all you have to do is dress up like Deadpool and talk and do silly, stupid, crazy things and I’ll probably fall madly in love with you.

At first I thought these people just really love Deadpool but soon realized, Alamo Drafthouse hired them to pass out masks where on the back of it was a promotion for chimichangas, because what else!

Best. Movie. Ever.

But I’m biased. Obviously. And I’m certain if you don’t know anything about him and watched the movie, you’d agree. You’ll be biased like me.

I don’t think I’m ruining anything by telling you to stay until after the credits.

Gahhhh … I promise you’ll be patiently waiting for the next one just like me.

Happy Hump Day!

Took half a day off yesterday due to unbearable pains and I didn’t worry about missing meetings or feeling guilty for skipping out on lunch with Erin. I made sure to let them know though so they rescheduled the meeting and Erin texted me to make sure I was okay a few times throughout the rest of the day. It felt good not worrying all the time how people feel when you’re not okay. Step one of being less of a people pleaser by taking care of me, myself, and I. Check.

Madison is getting induced tomorrow which means hanging out with Mallory is a no go this week. But that means a little girl or little boy will be born soon! I can’t wait to meet him/her. I am patiently awaiting Mallory’s text to let me know. Eeeeep!

Deadpool tomorrow. TO-freaking-MORROW. I hope I don’t get disappointed since I’ve been looking forward to this movie since before they were making the movie.There’s going to be a freaking drink in my hand while watching because that’s what Wade Wilson would do. Duh.

Weekend plans are on lock down for the most part. Appointments and reservations and that type of deal and I’m a little nervous. I’m a homebody so I don’t go out and really meet anyone. Doing too much without any breaks for me to recharge makes for a cranky me. I need downtime in between long hours spent with people to recharge so I was surprised I agreed to everything. We’ll see how that goes.

Hopefully I’ll have time to finally un-box my Meme Box from December that Sissy and BIL got me and my Stitch Fix that just came in yesterday. I’ll let y’all know if there’s anything worth mentioning.

Stay Positive and Think Good Thoughts! 🙂

Quote | Stop Being A People-Pleaser

Many people call me a people-pleaser. I use to see that as a compliment because it meant I made people happy but as I grow older, I realize it’s the opposite.

I’m taken granted most of the time and even when I feel I can’t give anymore, I push myself to because I’ll feel guilty saying “no” – and they know I can’t say “no”. I’ll stand by someone who constantly hurts me because if I see that they’re happy, what’s a little pain?

I’ve always given my all never expecting anything in return, materialistic or treating others the way I’d want to be treated. But I realized I’m subconsciously wanting to take by hoping they like me back as a person. I’m trying to compensate for having the feeling of not being good enough for anyone.

But I am good enough. Not to sound cocky, but I believe I’m a pretty great friend and if I was in a relationship with someone, I know I’m a damn good girlfriend.

I look around and see people who only care about their own feelings and don’t give a crap about anything else. I’m filled with envy that they’re able to do so and are still surrounded by people along with a significant other. They don’t feel guilty about it so why should I?

I understand not everyone will like me just as I won’t like everyone I meet and have to put boundaries on people who constantly hurt me or take me for granted. I understand I don’t always have to explain myself if the answer is “no” and I sure can’t back down due to feeling guilty. I understand I have to put myself first for a happier me but taking the first step is always the hardest.
