Giggles and Fun

June 24, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I worked a couple of hours in the morning at home before Sissy came over. We, along with Dad, stopped by at T.J.Maxx to get socks for Emmy. We found cute little Fourth of July headbands and she had a fun time looking at herself in the mirror.

Giggles and Fun Indoor Playground | Katy, Texas | Emmy

We took Emmy to Giggles and Fun Indoor Playground. There was a little girl that kept following her and when they were in the ball pit, that same girl threw balls at Emmy’s head. No worries, I stared the little girl down and she stopped.

Olive Garden

Emmy was pooped so we headed off to lunch. We were going to get McDonald’s or something but decided on Olive Garden. It wasn’t a super good idea since she started to get fussy towards the end since she needed her nap.

Mani Pedi with Sissy

We took her home then Sissy and I went and got manicures and pedicures. It took a couple of hours which I’m surprised at but they were very careful and precise which hasn’t been the case for many places in a while. I love the dark blue but sad about my lavender. I wish it was a tad bit darker.

Krispy Kreme Donuts

We went to Sephora and Trader Joe’s to drop some dough then stopped at Krispy Kreme. Not many people know that if the light is on, it means they’re making a fresh batch of donuts, which means you can get one for free! Then we went crazy and bought a bunch of goodies to share with the family.

Ficmax Gaming Chair

My new computer chair was long overdue! I’ve been scouring the web for a good year or so. It came this morning and I finally had time to build it. I was kind of proud of myself with how I did. This was on sale and so far, it’s comfy and the added footrest makes a big difference. I know that the “leather” is going to get ruined or when it get super hot, my skin is going to stick to it but for now it’s perfect. It can also recline to a sleeping position and it came with a massaging lumbar support. More like vibrating but it feels okay.

Tomorrow is another day with Emmy and I cannot wait!

2019 BIL’s Birthday

June 23, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Adopt Theodore on Petfinder 4

Sissy and BIL brought Teddy over so that Emmy could get some time in with a puppy. It was hilarious because he’s a bitter and he got a hold of Emmy’s pants and it was just a funny scene all together. His eyes! <3

When we were out eating, we found out a family was willing to adopt Teddy, as a trail period. They dropped him off with a family that has three kids who were so excited that although the mum said it was a trail, you know he has found his forever home.

I’ve always wanted to foster animals when I got older and possibly humans but I am not sure if I can after this. I am so happy he found his family but I’m also sad to watch him go.

2019 BIL's Birthday at Cravin Cajun

BIL haven’t had crawfish all season so he wanted to go to Cravin’ Cajun. Sissy ordered her vegetables with mine and we all had a grand time chowing down.

Yes, I had crawfish yesterday but …. who cares! The season is almost over!

2019 BIL's Birthday Cake

We went home, they dropped off Teddy, and Emmy took a nap before we cut the cake for BIL’s birthday. I gave him his bacon jam for his birthday which he is excited to try.

Serenading Emmy and Rizzo

I was strumming and singing and Emmy walks in with June. I played some of her favourite songs like Moana’s How Far I’ll Go and Frozen’s Let It Go to name a few. She sang and danced along which was a dream come true to me because this is what I always wanted to do with my nieces/nephews or kids my own. We sang other songs and slowly, she was going in and out of sleep, trying hard to stay awake. I love you, Emmy.

Emmy and Crawfish

June 22, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and Pottermore Hufflepuff

I downloaded Harry Potter: Wizards Unite since someone else recommended it. I’m not sure it’ll be something I’ll continue playing after a week but it did force me to finally take the Pottermore Sorting Hat. I was sorted into Hufflepuff which is what people tend to say I am. That or Gryffindor.

Emmy and Rizzo Stare-Off

Emmy has been giving Rizzo pets on the head and kisses and he’s been a sweet boy being okay with it … Until she was doing it too frequently and his little growls started to come out.

Crawfish at Gordon's and Patsy's

Gordon and Patsy invited June and I to their house for crawfish. They’re getting better and better at flavouring their crawfish like Vietnamese places. So freaking good. I like having these moments with them as I do get to learn more about them. I guess smaller groups of us hanging out has helped.

Teddy

Adopt Theodore on Petfinder 3

Hi World, it’s me, Teddy!

After work today, I stopped by Sissy’s to play with this little ball of fur. He reminds me so much of Rizzo when he was a baby. He’s a biter with his tiny, sharp teeth. His paws were so soft and he’s light just like Rizzo was. He loves following people around and rubbing himself on BIL’s socked feet. I was there for a good thirty minutes and taught him to sit. He’s one smart pupper and I know he’ll get adopted easily. I was sad about having to say goodbye to him. I’ve always wanted to foster animals and humans in the future but I don’t think I’d be able to after this encounter.

If you want to adopt this cutie, please follow the link: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/theodore-44938407/tx/houston/pup-squad-animal-rescue-tx1261/

Emmy will be here soon and will be staying with us for a bit! I am SUPER excited since this is the first time having her without her parents. Sissy and I took a couple of days of to have Auntie and Emmy time.

Last Team Happy Hour for Erin

June 20, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant | Houston, Texas

Jake came into the office today and Christopher and I joined him for lunch at La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant. It was actually not bad! The salsa they give for the chips and dip is one of the best ones I’ve had because of the spiciness. This was too much food though and I had to pack majority of it away.

Erin & Mellie Dee Yardhouse Happy Hour | Chinky Eyes

Erin and I with too much laughter with our chinky eyes to our wide open eyes. Our team left to meet her for her last ever goodbye happy hour at Yardhouse. We were there from 3 to 9 pm. One of the longest team happy hours I’ve been to but also one of the bests. I had an old fashioned, a beer, and about five shots with a lot of delicious foods.

Erin & Mellie Dee Yardhouse Happy Hour

Us being normal. Throughout the years that I’ve known her, tonight was probably the night where we had the most contact in the sense of touching. Nothing weird, just hugs and pokes. I guess this is our way of saying we’ll miss each other.

Thankful for her and everything she’s done for me whether it be my job or my personal life. I’m still working on myself and am glad she was there when I needed someone the most, helping shape me and give me confidence in things I’ve lacked my whole life. It hasn’t hit me that she’ll be halfway around the world soon but maybe it also means our friendship can withstand the distance. <3
