New Rockies Reunion Lunch

December 16, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Today was pretty laid back. A lot to do but Mondays are always less stress than others since the big players are too busy to bother me. Because of that, I decided to accept a lunch invite. This is with people I worked with back when I started at this company. Some have retired, others are on their way to retiring, etc. It’s crazy that it’s been over ten years since I first met them and it seems as if nothing has changed.

Tan's Hunan | Houston, Texas | New Rockies Team

Gary was nice enough to drive me and Rose there where we met up with David, Floyd, and Jannie. The rest couldn’t make it but the company we had was nice. We went to Tan’s Hunan, their usual back up place. I ordered soup and wings (appetizers) since I wasn’t so hungry, and was shocked by the amount I got. I packed it all home and had it for dinner as well. Their food isn’t horrible and the soup really hit the spot for me since it was chilly out.

I declined my fortune cookie but David said I needed it to know my fortune. “Soon, a visitor shall delight you.” I posted this exact picture on my Instagram story with “How soon? Where you at? Show yourself.” And I got the most ridiculously hilarious replies back. But seriously … show yourself.

Goodbye San Antonio

December 15, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Breakfast by Patricia

Everyone knows I usually leave at five in the morning and head back home after being in San Antonio. Today was different. I decided to stay and have breakfast with Patricia, Linda, Shayla, Aubry, Ashley, Ricardo, Noe, and Gerardo.

Penelope and Pepper

Once we finished eating, I was so tired. I took a five-minute nap before taking off. I said goodbye to Penelope and Pepper. They are so cute. I wish they got to meet Rizzo.

Bang and Cucumbers Driving Back to Houston

Must-haves for long drives. Bang energy drinks and baby cucumbers. Bang doesn’t do anything for me. I think the spike of fizziness helps. Corey was on his way home as well so we kind of kept each other company. Although he started driving at night taking him almost a whole day while mine was only for two and a half hours.

Tamales by Patricia

Other than some fideo, Patricia was sweet for sending me with a dozen tamales that she made with her family. I’m excited since I’ve been wanting some homemade tamales. Maybe one day she’ll invite me with her family to make some!

Four days of work before the holidays! Yippee!

2019 White Elephant at Patricia’s

Breakfast at Patricia's

Breakfast of champions by Patricia. I went for the bacon and eggs. Her bacon is on point. So crispy!

We ran some errands and then got my nails fixed since some of them lifted. Sigh. Then we went back to the house where I worked a bit longer before we went out again just to run more errands.

Fideo by Patricia

We were going to go get lunch since we didn’t have much going on. I had my first fideo Thursday and was craving for some more. We went back to Mia’s for some but it was a special just on Thursdays so Patricia was nice enough to make me some instead. So freaking good! It’s not as soupy but it was still perfect.

Chocolate Factory Goodies from Ashley

We relaxed a bit before people starting showing up. They helped us prep the foods so it went by faster. Ashley was nice enough to get us stuff from Chocolate Factory from where she works as well.

We had so much food and desserts everywhere and I don’t believe that’s everything. The meatballs were one of my favourites from Costco.

I got to hang out with these lovely folks and then some. I snuck in a picture with me and Patricia from last night since I didn’t put it up in the last post. Great new memories

2019 White Elephant at Patricia's | Google Home Mini

I won a Google Home Mini which I’m not mad about. I never thought I’d get another one but I’m happy with my gift. It’s practical and can last for a while … hopefully.

People are still getting wild so bye world. Talk to you later.

Ana’s Graduation

December 13, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Patricia and I got two to three hours of sleep. We’re running on low but I’m kind of used to this lifestyle while she’s not.

Pan Dulces for Days

We went to a pan ducle shop and picked up some goodies. So many carbs in one box.

Christmas Nails with Patricia

We went back home and soon enough, out the door again to get our manicures and pedicures. I went for a Christmas theme and for my toes, a orangey brown.

Smashin Crab with Patricia and Doug

Then we met Doug for a late lunch at Smashin Crab. He didn’t believe us when we told him to order the boil and opted for fried seafood instead. When Patricia couldn’t finish her food, he ate the rest of hers and agreed it was better than what he ordered. My craving has been answered. I need Houston places to do more lobster at seafood boil places.

Aldacos for Ana's Graduation Party

Patricia went to Ana’s grad while I stayed behind and worked. I was able to get tweleve ornaments completed in the two and a half hours she was gone!

Then she and Gary came and picked me up and we headed to Ana’s dinner of celebration and Aldacos. We were supposed to stop by her work Christmas party but the clash of timing didn’t work out.

Everything tasted fantastic and they even had drink tickets for us for free drinks. And cute little favours.

We are now currently at PK’s with Doug getting drinks and catching up before we close out the night. Patricia’s about to call it a night leaving just me and Doug to talk about life.

2019 San Antonio Weekend

December 12, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Al's 40th Anniversary

Today was Al’s 40th Anniversary at work. It’s crazy to think of myself working here for 10 more years let alone 40 total. It was nice to see people from my old team and my old bosses as well.

Bang Birthday Cake Bash

After work I started my drive to San Antonio. I have been saving this Bang Birthday Cake Bash in my car for months and I finally tried it. Way too sweet but it definitely tastes like cake. I couldn’t drink it all and got a stomachache from it. I’ll stick to my unicorn one instead.

2019 Christmas Present from Patricia

Patricia and I traded our gifts part of her gift didn’t make it in time so she’ll just have to get it when I see her next. We have matching rings as well. How cute!!!!

Mia's with Patricia, Ricardo, Linda

Then it was dinner with Patricia, Ricardo, and Linda at Mia’s. I love fiedo and hope to learn to make it in the future. They do have a lot of carbs in it though so maybe alter it a bit.

We dropped off the “kids” and headed to a pool hall meeting up with Ryan and Doug. Pool, maybe some darts before we call it a night.

Bye, world.
