Astros Win!

September 20, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood after work hit the spot. They were out of blue crabs and crawfish but I was okay with shrimp and snow crabs. I watched The Walking Dead while I ate and enjoyed the alone time.

I went home and took a nap and when June got home we headed out stopping at Chick-fil-A. June got a entree and I got waffle fries and a caramel frap. Never will we order cold coffees from Chick-fil-A. Watered down and nasty and June agreed with her iced coffee.

Houston Astros v Los Angeles Angels | Win!

Timothy met us at Sissy and BIL’s and we headed to the Astros game. We won!! The excitement was mostly in the beginning which sucked but it was a great first game for her. We enjoyed the fireworks after as well. I used to hate fireworks but I’ve grown to love shimmery, glittery things. How weird.

Delisha's Chicken & Dumplings | Free Work Gift Card

There was a flash floods warning but if you know me you’d know I’d still go in if it’s not bad at all. So I started off my day with some chicken and dumplings Delisha gave me yesterday. When I was walking through the cafe, the lady that says hi to me every time gave me a gift card with a small balance left. I used it to buy an iced coffee later in the day for a pick me up.

Everyone that went into the office left around the same time, early. I relaxed at home a bit then Rose came to pick me up with her daughters. We .Ade plans last second and it was a great time.

We went to Soju 101 for dinner. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it wasn’t bad. They were a little pricey too but we did end up buying the whole menu so … Yeah. I did soju tasting, 4 shots for $4.99. my favourite was the yogurt soju and blueberry soju. So dang good. I also had my first Korean rice cake tasting and I surprisingly liked it.

We went and got dessert after. They love it here. I have never been into this type of dessert though I will say I wouldn’t mind coming back for the almond pudding. That was probably the only good thing.

I cannot wait to see them again soon. It’s funny how Rose and I work in the same building and live a street over yet never see one another. I’ve told myself to make better sure to keep in touch. I’m horrible at it with everyone.

“Book the Flight”

September 17, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

We’ve been talking about going to London to visit my cousin, Patricia, so when I saw this I sent it to my siblings. But what if it meant book a flight for work? Because that’s what happened. I’ll be heading to the field for a day, or is it the office?, in October before the cousin trip. My boss wants us to stay for two days but with the time crunch it wasn’t going to happen.

Happy Hour | Delisha | Next Door Bar & Lounge | Houston, Texas

I left work early today so Delisha and I could have a catch up. Even though we now work close together again, we never see one another. It was nice to get out of the office and talk about anything and everything. It has always been that way with her and I’m glad our friendship is still there after all these years.

Few more days and it’ll be the weekend. I’m excited to do absolutely nothing.

Seafood, Reunions, Theater, & Bar Hopping

September 15, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Yesterday was so busy I didn’t have time to blog! It’s been a long while since that has happened. Overall, it was a great relaxing day. I put down the worries and didn’t care. I went with the flow and everything went very well.

Nail Bar | Katy, Texas | Mimosa, Pedicure, Manicure

I started off getting a manicure and pedicure by myself to relax and enjoyed a mimosa while doing so. In less than half an hour I was out the door. They have great timing and get so many customers because of it.

I went home and relaxed for half an hour before heading back out the door with June. We went and got reflexology massage at Footworks. $30 per person for an hour. So freaking worth it.

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood | Katy, Texas | The Yummy-nator, Crawfish, Shrimp — The Yummy-Nator [2 pieces snow crabs, 2 pieces blue crabs, 2 lb crawfish, 6 pieces shrimp, 2 pieces corn, 2 pieces potatoes, mushrooms in combo mixer, spicy] | ~$50 • 1 lb crawfish [Cajun, medium spicy] | $6.99 • 1 lb shrimp [yummy house delight, medium spicy] | $12.99

June and I went to Yummy Crawfish and Seafood. We weren’t sure if it’ll be good but since my usual place closed down I’ve been searching for a new one. They have great flavour but not spicy enough. We will definitely come back even though it’s a bit expensive. I love having the snow crabs but didn’t care much about the blue crabs.

June and I believe I might be allergic to crawfish since I never feel well after. Shrimp and snow crabs only might be what I’ll have to end up having if that’s the case. With sporadic crawfish feast … obviously.

I took a nap and talked to London before heading out the door for dinner with Nancy. I haven’t seen her in a couple years since Thuy’s wedding. We shared beef noodles, pork chop bake, and Hong Kong French toast. I was glad she loved it and it warmed my heart that the toast reminds her of her dad. He would be super proud of the woman she’s become.

The Hobby Center | Houston, Texas | A Chorus Line | Nancy

Her boss gave her free tickets to the play, A Chorus Line, since they couldn’t make it anymore. We had no clue what it was about and it ended to being so good. We can’t believe her boss paid $90 for each ticket!

Electric Feel-good | Houston, Texas | Nancy, Carmen, Adam

We got an Uber and meet up with Carmen and Adam at Electric Feelgood. We ordered drinks and took a lot of pictures and boomerangs before heading to other places to check out the scene.

It’s the latest I’ve stayed out for a long while and was happy that I got to go and enjoy a night out in downtown, something I always want to do once in a while.

I finished Love Alarm from Netflix since I wasn’t able to fall asleep until 5am. I ended up sleeping for a good two hours before waking up. Today has been relaxing. Sissy and BIL came over with lunch from Aji Ramen, watched the Texans game and bought thickets to the Astros game. Meal prep took only 20 minutes thanks to the instant pot. I need to look for more recipes!

BOGO Raising Cane’s Chicken Boxes

September 12, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Guys, these Chick-fil-A lunch boxes make me happy. We were expecting nasty sandwiches or something and was so exited that if wasn’t that. They even had spicy chicken sandwiches. I grabbed the nuggets by mistake but better that way since I would have only eaten the chicken anyway.

I got approval by our asset boss for a project I’ve been trying to push! It’s a big accomplishment. Now we wait and hope it passes the board and we get funding for it. Eeek!

Collegiant Challenge Mentoring | Papa John's

Collegiant Challenge Mentoring began today. The kids were so excited to see me and I gained another one. One of them even went and got me a slice of pizza because I was hungry and didn’t know mentors could have any. I’m sad it’s the last semester with them and after December I won’t see them again. Hopefully we stay in touch because they are so sweet and have such a bright future ahead!

Houston Dynamo Win Equals BOGO Raising Cane's

Since the Dynamos won they had a Jack in the Box deal, I think. The other one was that if they make two or more goals, you get BOGO of the Raising Cane’s chicken boxes! So I did just that. I gave June my other one. I forget how juicy their chicken is. Thought they could do better with their fries.

It’s been a pretty long and rough week. I’m glad tomorrow is Friday. I have to work but I’m happy I have a chill and relaxing weekend.
