Word Vomit

I actually don’t like when people use “word vomit” but it seems appropriate for this post. Just a whole lot of word vomit.

I’ve been sick these past few days and took half a day off Monday and all day Tuesday from work. It’s been glorious. All I’ve been doing is relaxing and watching Orange Is The New Black with Rizzo while he sleeps beside me. I could do without all the nudity and stuff in OITNB but the story is pretty good. It’s all sorts of crazy. Wishing I could take more sick days off this week but today I’m getting a new laptop for work and if I miss it, I’d have to wait a while to reschedule.

Is it sad to say I’m ready for March to come? March is the only month this year where I have NOTHING planned. Isn’t that crazy? I just want to relax and do nothing. Going to weddings, traveling, seeing family and friends is wonderful but to have a month where I am not constantly on the move is going to be amazeballs.

If you haven’t noticed, I’m trying something new. Not blogging every day but at least aiming for twice a week if possible. Mondays and Wednesdays seem to be working at the moment, but who knows how long that’ll last. I’m always amazed at how people always have something to say every single day. How do you come up with topics that are intriguing to others?

Reading and commenting blog wise, I usually wait until the end of the week when I actually have more down time to sit and read and comment. I’m hoping I can get my Fridays in the coffee shop back soon. Sadly the coffee shop I go to all the time is renovating/moving. So I need to find another one. Sigh. Why are all the local coffee shops so far from home?

Okay, no more complaining. I forgot how just writing to write feels sometimes.

Weddings and a Rizzo

February 2, 2015 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Super long weekend. We drove all the way to Dallas to visit my brother and Tammy’s family, along with my cousin, Joanna, and her soon-to-be husband, Kiran.

There was much talk about both their wedding’s. Joanna and Kiran’s is in a few weeks and I’m super excited! We are attending an Indian wedding, a Chinese wedding, and a American wedding. How crazy is that?

We also tried on bridesmaid dresses for my future sister-in-law’s (SIL) wedding, aka Tammy. We didn’t find any that worked for everyone. And by everyone, I mean me. My chest area is too big for certain dresses and the brand wasn’t going to make a bigger size for it. So back to square one.

I feel horrible since it’s because of me that we still can’t find a dress. I’m hoping we find one soon because I’m getting tired. Like this little guy …

Look at my snaggly toothed baby. This is what he looks like when he’s sleeping in someone’s (my Mum’s) arms.

P.S. Since the Cowboys nor Texans made it to the Super Bowl … go Patriots!! Smile

Happy Monday!

Clear Blues and White Sands

Hello, beautiful clear blue waters and white sands. In a few months, I’ll be all up in you and on you.

Soon enough I’ll get to cross Mexico off my bucket list because Cancun is booked!Smile  It’ll also be my first trip without any of my family members/soon-to-be family members. Eek!

I’m not really sure if it’s really Cancun since it’s called Playa del Carmen and I’m too lazy to research that. But … I will just pretend they are the same. If anyone knows and wants to tell me …

My friends (Wacko and Monica) are getting married and I’ll be rooming with the groom’s sisters! We’re staying at the resort so you know what that means! … DRINKS on DRINKS! … even though I’m not a drinker. You know, gotta look the part. Winking smile

One Step Closer To Being Girly

January 26, 2015 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Yesterday, I tried on bridesmaid dresses for Michelle’s wedding and I’m excited. The dresses are long and super elegant! Michelle was nice enough to let us pick what cut we wanted as long as it was the same material and long.

Three ended up with strapless, sweetheart with a knot in the middle. Two ended up with straps, sweetheart, raunching. I ended up with straps. If I want to dance, I want to make sure my girls won’t be dancing either.

And because I wasn’t able to wear earrings for Mallory’s wedding, I told myself, next wedding I will get them pierced so …

… I took the plunge and finally got my ears pierced. Yep!

As I was waiting to get mine done, there was a little baby there getting hers. I didn’t cry and it didn’t hurt … for now. I am only afraid of it not closing properly or whatever.

Since I was in elementary school, I’ve wanted to get them pierced but my grandma has always said I have Buddha earlobes and that means I’ll be rich. If I stab it, I’ll be losing it all. So I guess I’m going to be poor but hey, I’ll have fabulous looking ears.

Setting Free

These words cannot mean more to me as they do right now.

I’m always the one worrying about everyone – putting their happiness ahead of mine.

Stress galore.

I’ve decided to speak up; my opinions should factor in and matter. If they truly love me, they won’t mind my words. Of course, I won’t take it for granted and mouth off every single dislike.

I am still afraid of speaking up, not knowing where the relationship could go afterward but when I do, it’s the most freeing feeling. Things aren’t bottled up as much and I can breathe again.

Stress less.

How does this quote relate to you at this moment?
