Trader’s Village

Started off the day with a green mimosa and a medi pedi. I went with two different shades of orange to channel my inner Halloween and fall.

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood | Katy, Texas | Mum & June

I met up with Mum and June at Yummy Crawfish & Seafood. My heart is happy. No crawfish but I’ve been moving on to snow crabs lately and their shrimp is always perfect. We took the sauce home to make more shrimps in. Yum!

I went home and relax because food coma then Ed came and picked me up. Everyone who knows me knows that I hate driving so I love when people come and pick me up.

We headed to Trader’s Village. They have a lot of stalls there but not much of things I’d want to buy. I picked out something for Emmy only because it was new. Other than that we mostly ate and drank fresh juices.

We stopped by for some Kung Fu Tea since our conversation started to get pretty deep. It’s crazy how long I’ve known him yet we both don’t see each other a lot. That’s what makes this friendship so easy.

It’s going to be a very busy week especially since my vacation is coming up. Flying to the field office Tuesday for work and flying to Arizona on Saturday for the Cousin Trip. Fingers crossed it’ll be a pretty simple week though.

Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music

September 28, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning while at work, I took the plunge and ordered the Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music fitness watch. I’ve been looking for over a year now and have been wanting one where I didn’t need to recharge.

I don’t need anything fancy but the ones that didn’t need to charge daily/weekly had horrible reviews so I finally decided on this one. Mostly because this upcoming weekend will be an adventure and I want to see how much walking I actually do.

It came super early this morning and I got to test it out all day. So far it’s great and the battery life is better than I thought. Tonight will be the real test when I go to bed and use the sleep function. Thankful for the $200 I got back doing Rally through work so that I only paid the amount of tax for it.

June drove Mum, Grandma, and I to dim sum. It’s been almost a year since I’ve had dim sum and it hit the spot. I went a little crazy and ordered a lot of food but we were all satisfied, especially Grandma.

We went home then June and I set out to the Xfinity store for our free bath towels, UPS to return things, DSW, Bed, Bath and Beyond, as well as Luggage and Leather. Going back to City Walk in Sugar Land brought back a lot of memories. I never thought I’d come back but when the boss sends you there to Luggage and Leather, you do not complain.

When I went to refill my gas, June and I went and got lottery tickets. I splurged on the big one because it’s been a long while. I haven’t scratched it yet but fingers crossed! I am hoping I remember to get a Christmas booklet one this year. Scruffy got one before and it seemed fun.

I’m pooped but trudging on. Currently making stencils for a baby shower. Knowing I’ll get a little dough from it helps me push on through as well as having the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime Channel playing in the background helps as well.

Hotsome Chicken Eatery & Desserts | Houston, Texas

September 21, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

June and I went shopping and didn’t buy much. We enjoyed the hours spent walking though since it feels like we somewhat worked out. I need to get a new fitness tracker again because I know I’m not getting enough walks.

Hotsome Chicken Eatery & Dessert | Houston, Texas

We got hungry and decided to try Hotsome Chicken. It’s been on my list for a while and my goodness, their fried chicken was fried perfectly along with their french fries. We craved noodles so we ordered some too but we will try out the Korean Noodle House right next door when we crave Korean noodles again.

We went and got groceries as well and grabbed some Starbucks. This is definitely way better than Chick-fil-A of course and if hit the craving though it was too strong for me.

Sissy reminded us of our free Chick-fil-A since the Astros hit the sign. Who the heck is Mossa? They obviously knew it was wrong since they typed red t-shirt. Haha too funny. June and I snagged ours and headed home for relaxation.

My head has been hurting the last few days so I haven’t been up to do much. Help!

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.

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!
