5 Day Weekend Bye Bye

Quail Eggs

I had bought a movie awhile back called Pathology and we just watched it yesterday. The movie is SO twisted and disturbing. It’s scary to know that this stuff does happen in life and we don’t even know about it. I love to keep movies but I couldn’t keep this one. After watching, I went to put it in the donation pile in our house but Mum said she doesn’t want anyone to watch it and so we just threw it in the trashcan. It was suspenseful but the gore and stuff was too much. If you ever come across this movie, you have been warned.

Not even all the veggies and I got protein for dayssssss.

This 5 day weekend was much needed. Given I felt like I was busy every day but I got a lot done and got to see those I never get to see (no one visits me) so it was well worth it. Now back to the grind. Work in the am. I don’t know how well it’ll go for me since I’ve been sleeping at 5am every “night” – the time I wake up and am out the door for work. Eek.

Getting sad because Felicity is almost over. They only ran for 4 seasons but when I was younger it felt like SO much longer. Boo. I’m going to miss Ben Covington aka Scott Speedman. Such a hottie. 37 years old … I’d holla.

Time to watch more Felicity before bed. Good night, Moon.

First Official AFM Post

July 20, 2013 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

It sucks starting from scratch but it’s exciting to finally be “on my own”. Here are a few pictures from Thursday and Friday. Since it’s the weekend, pictures are always the best! Happy Weekend, loves.

Thursday:

Reunion with Joanne at Panera. Great getting to catch up with her. She has grown so much and I cannot believe she wants to be a surgeon. So amazing.

Baked Blueberry Streusel Muffins for Mallory and Samantha.

Then went to happy hour with them at Cattleguard and Samantha got her tragus pierced.

Friday:

Drove to Baytown in traffic and rain (which you can’t tell here).

To visit this girlie, Apurva. Gah … good seeing her! Snapchatted this to a few people to let them know we miss them.

One of the responses we got back. I love Katrina! And miss her SO much. Isn’t she a cutie?

We went to Olive Garden then Target (no Kemah since it rained) and I bought a mug/bowl for work.

$6 and fed 4 people (5 if you count Apurva’s Olive Garden meal 😉 )

Heard this stuff works for those that can’t sleep. Doubtful but we’ll see.

View driving back home. SO blessed to be able to capture these moments with my own eyes.

New Domain Coming Soon

Two posts in one day. Seriously. If I was to quit my job and just blog, I think I totally can. Not that I would be able to make money off of it since my posts aren’t bomb diggity like other people. Meaning I don’t have fun content like other people.

I’m currently sitting at Cloud Cafe. Where else … I’ve done absolutely nothing today but chop up some vegetables for my family’s dinner … and shop. And when I say shop I mean going to the bookstore for over 2 hours and various cheap stores buying things I don’t need.

Which might have been a mistake because … I’ve taken the plunge and bought my domain and self hosting!

All through HostGator since it seemed like the best for me right now and super recommended by Rachael from Happy Healthy Runner. She is amazing.

It was hefty on my bank account but I think it’ll be worth it. Gah … if I’d known I was going to do this so soon, I would have definitely NOT gone shopping. But I’m so so excited.

Once everything is set up for the site (transfer and design (maybe) … etc), I will shout it to the world let you all know so you guys can keep up with me there since it’s a new blog name and everything. Starting new … but not really. I’ve just outgrown this blog name I have now.

Everything is SO overwhelming right now so if anyone has any idea how to do this and would like to help I welcome you. I’m obviously TOO POOR to pay anyone to help me now.

If you have any tips for me as well … much appreciated.

What was I thinking …

Mini Staycation

Howdy Lovely Doodies! Weird seeing such an early post from me right?

But Guess What Guess What! I took today and tomorrow off work! And seeing how I automatically get this Friday off, it is PERFECT! Hello 5 day weekend! 😉

Everyone at work asked where I was going and to my reply … nowhere. Cuz who has money to go places nowadays. I’m still excited though except I don’t have much planned out. Just thought I’d relax and hang out with whoever wants to see me.

Today is ME day. Shopping. Could Cafe. Straight up nothing. I don’t even know yet but it’s just whatever I want.

Tomorrow I have a lunch date and happy hour set up with friends.

Friday if all goes according to plan, I will be going to Kemah for the first time. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I’ve been wanting to check it out.

But if anything falls through I’d probably just go to Cloud Cafe and do some blog work or shop and be a super lazy vegetable in front of a telly. Sounds like a plan.

Mum said I’ll have a stalker one day since I go to Cloud Cafe so much. *sigh* Worry wart. But if that does happen, she’d probably say I told you so. Oh, mothers. Don’t she know I already had a few stalkers in my time?

This post was written in advanced so right now I’m probably still sleeping while you’re reading this. I usually wake up no later than 5am on work days so you can see how much I’m already loving it.

Happy Wednesday lovelies!

Change In My Future – More School?

Cloud Cafe-ing. I’ve made that a word. Currently sipping on an Iced Hibiscus Raspberry Tea. It has a peculiar taste that I’m not use to. I’ll try anything once even though I’m not a fan of raspberry. But it’s not bad. Just very strange for my palette that I’ll have to get use to.

I don’t like that there are MORE people coming in now. I mean yay they’re getting business but now they’re in my area. One girl even dared to sit in MY seat so now I’m in a seat where I can stare at her with disgust. The nerve of some people.

Pretty much how I feel about my seat. *sigh*

Went out with Tim, Sarah, and June for Kenson’s birthday celebration. He’s the youngest cousin I have in the States so it’s a little weird taking him out on his 21st birthday and getting drinks. Everyone is so grown up now. Next thing you know we’ll be celebrating one of my niece’s/nephew’s 21st!

One of the gorgeous views at work.

I’ve been contemplating on other things than just changing up my blog (which might take a while to happen now that I realize how much work I have to prepare for it). I might be going back to school. I cannot fully quit my job since well I’m poor. But I’m searching for some online classes/degrees/programs and whatnot. I’ve found one I’m super interested in but we’ll have to see how that goes.

Cost and how many times I have to go drive/fly somewhere to take tests will be the deciding factor for me. Hopefully whichever one I chose, I’ll be able to follow through. I love learning and things are easy for me if someone teaches me how to do it but taking tests are the death of me – super huge anxiety. *eeeeeeeek*

IMG_0712

Me with my British boss. He wanted to take one with the Union Jack! Guess pictures aren’t that fun when faces are blocked out, eh? Oh well.

Time to research about school stuff. Happy weekend loves!
