Being Fancy

September 27, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Work went by like a breeze! I was so busy but I was looking forward to some fun time. Two of the ladies on our team are leaving and we had a small happy hour at the High and Dry Rum Bar to celebrate them. I went with the old fashioned since Scruffy likes that drink and it was all I know. It was actually pretty smooth and people were impressed that I ordered it. One of the girls ordered a fire drink! How cool is that?!

I’ve never been in this area downtown at night and it was like a dream. Lights, bright. Bars everywhere. This is exactly what I dreamed of as a little girl. Working downtown, walking down the streets late at night with some cool people. Reminds me of Hong Kong too.

A few of us decided to go to dinner. We were going to go to Bombay Pizza but as we walked we changed to being fancy ending up at Morton’s Steakhouse. I was shocked at the prices but I figure to just let it go and order a steak. Everything else was shared with others. Delicious food and amazing conversations.

It was nice to get out and meet others on the team as well. I learned so much about everyone. I usually stay tied to my desk so although dinner was costly, I’m happy I went.

Bombay Pizza Express | Houston, Texas

[2018] 262/365: Bombay Pizza Express

Justin had a new hire today and nicely invited me to lunch with them. I gladly accepted since it’s not everyday I get to hang out with people above me.

We went to Bombay Pizza Express. I’ve heard of this place plenty of times being known for their pizza but I opted for the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. It was delicious but their sauce is too thin and watery for me to come back and get it again. If I do come back, I’ll try one of their pizzas.

2018 Happy Birthday Amina!

September 8, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Parents came home late last night and I was surprised to find so many face masks where brought back from Hong Kong! I split it up between Mum, June, Sissy and I and I am excited to try them all!

Scruffy and I shared a Halal Guys dish and hummus and went to fix my glasses. We’ve gotten to the point where we realize certain meals are better shared because there’s just too much food. I always want to order extra though for that nice picture so sometimes we do, like the hummus.

We stopped by Fivr Below to pick up cute little water doodle booklets for Amina and since we were going to be outside for the majority of the birthday party I decided to stop by Starbucks and pick myself up a venti iced caramel macchiato and a trenta iced tea lemonade for his Nana.

Amina had inflatable pools and even a water bounce house in the backyard. There were snacks and snow cones there as well. Before long we were singing happy birthday and cutting the cake.

[2018] 251/365: Texas Roadhouse Date

We went home and relaxed a bit with Kitchen Nightmares before heading to Texas Roadhouse. I’ve been craving a steak and Scruffy a chicken fried steak and it hit the spot for the both of us. I had so much steak to take home and some of Scruffy’s mashed potatoes.

We’ve watched episodes of Parks and Rec and are about to play trivia and whatever else. Secretly, I just want to cuddle in bed til I fall asleep. Well not secretly because Scruffy knows that’s all I ever want to do ….

Poblano’s Breakfast Is The Worst

August 28, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Poblano’s has the worse breakfast I’ve ever had. The potatoes were not cooked, the eggs were bleugh, and don’t get me started on the bacon. They were crisped to the point where it had a burnt taste. I was severely disappointed.

[2018] 240/365: Korean BBQ

Another picture of Korean BBQ. Scruffy is obssesed and he believes it might just be his number one go to meal.

We’ve downsized the amount of food from last time and were surprised that we were all satisfied with lesser leftovers.

I’ve been craving sweets the last couple of days which is out of the norm for me. I’ve been holding back but I just might order something to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Reunion with Nickie

Justin made me a delicious cup of caramel cappuccino with a shot of espresso using one of the many fancy coffee machines we have at work. I paired it with my leftover breakfast from Sunday. Twas delicious.

I was still a bit full from breakfast so when it was time to meet Nickie, I wasn’t ready for a full meal at Poblano’s Mexican Grill.

[2018] 228/365: Reunion with Nickie

We both ordered a soup with a side of torta. I couldn’t make a dent in my torta but the soup was on point. Now I know where to get yummy Caldo de Res! Makes me miss Patricia’s!

I haven’t seen Nickie since summer of 2008. I was a bit weary but excited. Butterflies flew in my belly as I walked out the elevator but they soon subsided when our conversation striked. I kept it going on her since she had so much going on lately. Becoming a lawyer, getting engaged and married. It was nice to talk to someone outside of work about anything but work. I’mhoping for more of these lunch dates and hopefully it opens doors to other lunch dates. Anyone up for one? Hit me up!

After work I headed over to Scruffy’s for dinner. We were able to sneak in an episode of Shameless before dinner and I left their house in record time.

I’ve been looking at houses but got sad because I’m poor. Someone, donate. Haha
