Emma’s 3rd Birthday & Gilly

January 18, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I went and picked up my metallic Deadpool from Box Lunch then headed off to lunch with June at Yummy Crawfish and Seafood. The place was packed! Our stomaches have definitely gotten smaller because we couldn’t even finished what we were sharing!

Emma's Third Birthday Party | Bounce House

I dropped June off and I headed to Wacko’s new house to celebrate Emma’s 3rd birthday. Nice decorations and a bounce house.

Emma's Third Birthday Party | Tacos and Soup

The best thing was of course the food. Beef, pork, and chicken tacos. They were LEGIT. And nachos and bean soup to seal it all up. I was hoping I could eat more but I couldn’t.

I left and headed to Mallory’s while they were still partying it up. We watched an episode or two of Dynasty and caught up.

Then I headed to Toro Sushi to meet up with Gilly. He puts sugar in his soy sauce! And nothing else. How crazy is that. This place was actually super delicious and we ended up talking for three hours about everything and nothing.

I’m back home now wishing the weekend wasn’t about to be over. Hoping this upcoming week will be a better one at work. Sigh.

Happy Hour at High & Dry

Work has been getting harder and harder. I can’t seem to get a break. And feelings of suffocation is happening.

I left work later than planned, rushed home to let the pups out then headed to BIL’s to drop off the PS4. Jason came and was surprised at all the boxes and bags and even tape that still worked after so many years. He said it was like unwrapping a whole new PS4!

High & Dry | Houston, Texas | Old Fashioned & Love Street

Even though it was horrible at work, I was happy I got to be at happy hour with my old co-workers.

Salim dropped off his car at Sissy’s and we took an Uber to High and Dry. He was nice enough to get me a drink since I paid for the ride.

High & Dry | Houston, Texas | Priscilla & Mellie Dee

Priscilla and I had to take a selfie of course!

Then one with all the boys, Salim, Aaron, John and Gilbert. The crowd was crazy and after throwing a few back we headed to eat.

Christian's Tailgate | Houston, Texas | Priscilla, Gilbert, Salim, Aaron, John

I hadn’t eaten since seven the previous night so I guess you could say I was having a dang good time. We ordered a whole table of food and had a great time talking, laughing, and singing along with the 90s music that was playing at Christian’s Tailgate.

We bid our farewells to Priscilla and then after a while, Salim called an Uber and we were out the door. A quick ride back to our cars where we said good night. I headed home since this week has been tough and my bed is calling my name. He, on the other hand, is still out partying. I joked he was going to a booty call.

Tomorrow is hopefully a full day of fun and entertainment. Can’t wait! Eek!

Happy 4th Birthday, Luna!

Happy Birthday, baby girl! Another birthday where I don’t get to see your derp-derp eyes looking up at me in confusion and your spazzes.

Wishing you all the balls you want and sleeps on the couch. Hoping that you get spoiled rotten with treats today.

Bedtime Stories with JJ

January 14, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Work was a cluster****. I’ll probably get fired for speaking out but I felt it was necessary. Therefore, I ended up at Mallory’s late by one and a half hours. She fed me stuffed salmon and green beans that hit the spot!

John came home late too so I had the pleasure spending bath time with JJ. Then he wanted me to read him a few bedtime books before John got home. He was such a happy kid today and it was a breath of fresh air after the last meeting I have.

Three more days of work. I can do this. The weekend better be a great one!

Goodbye, PS4

January 11, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Factory resetting my PS4 to sell. I haven’t used it since Scruffy and I broke up. I remember buying a new car and a PS4 when I knew I was going to get laid off soon which I wrote about in a post.

I told everyone it was to spend more time with BIL and sometimes Sissy but it was truthfully so that I can spend time with Scruffy. I knew he played a lot of video games so I wanted to spend time with him doing something he loved.

In the beginning, we’d play a bit but it ended up just me usually playing by myself or using it to watch telly since he wasn’t super interested in playing with me no matter how much I asked him to pick a game we can both play. I guess sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can never be a part of someone’s life if they won’t let you in completely.

Goodbye, PS4. You gave me some great memories. Maybe one day, I’ll have someone who’ll want to play PS5 with me. Until then, it’s me and my Switch.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working from home. Rizzo’s head is so tiny next to that giant paper of goals. I’m starting to feel like the assistant to the boss. I mean, I love scheduling meetings and running them, okay that’s a lie, I hate meetings. But I don’t mind the work as it helps me be a stronger speaker but it’s all so nervewracking when everyone thinks you’re “in charge” when you shouldn’t be. Luckily the boss set them straight that I was tasked so whatever I said kinda goes.

Rizzo Inching Towards My Side of the Bed

I’d look over to this sleeping beauty who put himself under the blanket, head on the pillow. I also kept seeing him slowly inching towards my side of the bed. He looks so peaceful. I keep having thoughts of how I’d be if he was gone from my life. Does anyone else get those moments with their pets or kids? Is that weird?

Happy Lamb Hot Pot | Houston, Texas | Sissy, BIL, Dad, & June

Today, June, Dad and I met Sissy and BIL at Happy Lamb Hot Pot. June and I have sworn off eating anything else the rest of the day because even though we didn’t eat a whole lot, it was still way more than what we’re used to lately.

The weekend’s almost over. I’m not ready!
