2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine

September 12, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Breakfast for Blood Donation, Sushihana, Stardew Valley

Labour Day was pretty swell except when I tried to donate, I was off by one on my iron and couldn’t donate. I had a killer breakfast though.

Sissy and BIL came over and we ordered Sushihana. They played with Ethan for a bit before he went down for his nap. Then we spent a few hours playing Stardew Valley. They’ve been playing for years and have asked me to join their game. This could be a single player game, kind of like Animal Crossing, but it’s not one I would ever play by myself.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Ethan, Mellie Dee, Rizzo

Having Ethan is fun but it’s also super draining. He needs more attention than Emmy at this age which is CRAZY to even think about. He’s had fun eating popcorn, watching Mickey Mouse, listening to me play guitar and sing to him. He doesn’t understand personal space and always lays on people jumping up and down. As for Rizzo, I’m sure he’s tired of the nonstop crying and constant slaps in his face from Ethan. Rizzo also doesn’t understand personal space.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Ethan, Jacob, Mellie Dee, JJ, Wine, Maika'i Hawaiian BBQ

Friday after work, I took Ethan to Mallory’s house for a playdate. He and Jacob get along SO well! And JJ was a sweetheart and played with him as well. We had wine and ordered dinner from Maika’i Hawaiian BBQ. We all loved the food from there, especially Ethan and Jacob. They are definitely the eaters of the kids.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Ethan, Jacob, Mellie Dee, JJ, Mallory, Ice Cream

We decided to walk to the clubhouse and get some ice creams. JJ pushed Ethan for me and I was able to get some cute pictures. (Exhibit A: Ethan’s hair)

The guy messed up and accidentally made an extra ice cream. Sugar overload. It’s safe to say Ethan had fun. He was so tired on the push back to the house and fell asleep with the bottle in his mouth.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Lao Sze Chuan | Katy, Texas

I had heard recently about a restaurant that opened that came from Chicago, Lao Sze Chuan. The food was good. Nothing special except that it’s less salty which we all loved. My favourite is the fried intestines. Even Ethan did well and sat and ate a lot!

The only complaint was the service. Understandable as there is a shortage everywhere but they could be a little more attentive.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Kittens and Golden Puzzles, Stardew Valley

I finished three puzzles this week which I didn’t even know until I put this post together. Almost done with the kitten and dog 10 pack from when we were kids and we never did.

Yesterday night I played Stardew Valley with Sissy and BIL for many hours before we called it a night.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Ethan & Emmy Video, Zoe's Kitchen Delivery

Ethan was able to get some video in with Emmy. It was sweet to hear Emmy say that he misses Ethan.

Sissy and BIL came over. We ordered food from Zoe’s Kitchen then it was playtime with Ethan and Stardew Valley with me. I’m starting to like the game a lot but still, not something I’d play by myself. I hate building things.

2021 | Week 78 of Quarantine | Rocky and SWEAT: High Intensity Program Complete

Today marks the completion of the 4 week SWEAT High Intensity program. Rizzo was by my side every day. Rocky liked being close by my yoga mat on days I had body weights. I don’t feel like much has changed but I do feel stronger. Off to schedule my next workouts. What should I do now?

Lasik Consultation + Gaining a Few Pounds

October 12, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Joffe Medicenter | Lasik Consultation

I took the plunge and went to my Lasik consultation this morning. I put in the max amount in my flexible spending account to force myself to get this procedure done before the year was over since you lose what you don’t spend.

I chose Joffe Medicenter because my coworker’s mentor went there with his wife a couple of years ago. And plus they had 5 star ratings on Google and Yelp so I assume it has to be pretty darn good.

My consultation went well and I passed all the tests. My procedure will be done next week. I’m scared but excited. It would suck if it failed in the end but I guess I’ll never know until I try. Wish me luck!

Pokeworks | Houston, Texas | Foodie Tasting

Tan invited me to a Foodie event at Pokeworks and I got to play around with the props along with the food we ordered. I was told I’m good at that which made me happy and sometimes makes me wonder if I’m in the wrong line of work.

Pokeworks | Houston, Texas | Foodie Tasting Simple

I like simpler pictures though and these made me happy enough. It’s currently soft opening but their grand opening, on October 19, 2019, will have the BOGO deal along with a chance to win an Apple Watch!

Flower & Cream Artisan Ice Cream | Houston, Texas

We then went and got dessert at Flower & Cream. I opted for Unicorn Tracks that tastes like Lucky Charms cereal, Caramel Apple Pie with real bits of apples in a Salted Blue Corn waffle cone. Everything was delicious though I would stick with just the Unicorn Tracks next time. I loved it more than I thought I would!

The Path of Tea | Houston, Texas

He suggested we go to The Path of Tea. I’ve been wanting to go here since forever and was happy I finally made it! So many different teas to chose from! I chose the Relaxation Blend. It had a bit of mint in it but it made me so relaxed I started getting sleepy … or maybe my food coma was kicking in. I ended up getting some to go for nights where I can’t unwind (every night).

I am stuffed. It’s crazy how Tan and I lost contact due to going to different colleges and from one response on Instagram we had our reunion and our life is just talks on relationships with guys and food. He says he’ll invite me to more events in the future so fingers crossed!
