Tea Top | Katy, Texas

January 29, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Guys! I’ve struggled with my internet speed since I was a child. CHILD! Today Brudda set up a booster and my speed is so freaking fast now. In every single part of our house. It’s such a new thing to me that I had to document it.

Technical QBR with Reservoir Engineers & Geologists

Today the reservoir engineers and geologist presented at the technical quarterly business review. It’s such a great feeling to see all your hard work being put to use. I’ve also found my love for fresh blueberries again.

After a day full of meetings I went home for dinner. I had promised to take Tammy for dessert so we, along with Emmy and June, went to Eight Turn Crepe. It was good but not as good as good as when it first opened. We still had fun though.

We then stopped at Tea Top since it’s apparently one of the best rated. It took us a lot of time to figure out the menunanf they were very patient.It was only okay for me but I guess I’ll still come back.

I’ve been binging on The Crown since starting it with Mallory. It’s getting better and better. I feel my British accent coming up. It’s horrid though.

Two more days of work til the weekend!!

2020 Chinese New Year Lion Dance

January 26, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Sleeping at two in the morning I set my alarm for seven am so that I could check in to see if Mallory was still down to do lion dances with me. Actually, it was for me to do it with her. She called me out for never taking her in the years we’ve known one another.

I stopped by Starbucks for a green tea latte and picked up a coffee for her as well. Since I had taken meds, I had to eat and picked up these eggs for the first time. It’s actually not bad, and similar to the egg cupcakes I use to make in college.

Karma Kolaches & Desserts | Katy, Texas | Mallory & JJ

The fatty in me couldn’t resist a Kolaches when we got to Karma Kolache and Desserts. This was were the lion dances were happening and JJ was super excited! He was also hopped up on his sugar from the donuts but stayed a sweet sweet boy. Mallory and I loved the kronut the best and hope to come back for more in the future.

Soon enough, the lions started dancing and JJ, afraid when they approached at first ended up loving them. He was brave enough to feed them dollar bills and was eaten by one in the last frame.

We decided to go again to the HMart one so I followed them home and relaxed a bit before heading back out again, this time with John as well. We met up with Madison, Brandon, Daisy, Darby, and Danica. They were already chowing down on some egg waffles and ice cream so John ordered an ice cream and shared it with JJ.

I share this picture because JJ finally fits the Chinese Jacket I got him when he was born! He loved it and would have kept it on if it wasn’t so thick. Fail on my part for thinking it’d be cold during Chinese New Year. Come on, Melissa, we live in Texas.

This one was definitely more professional since they did some neat tricks and even have the guy in the mask. Not sure his name but his role is to trick the lions to come to him.

After we left and was heading to Mallory’s house, JJ kept asking if he could come over to my house. I guess I’m cool now. He probably associate lions to me now like he does with Trey and his motorcycle.

I made a delicious early dinner. First time I ever poached eggs and I’m proud with how they came out.

Cleaning is complete and I worked a good couple of hours and meal prepped. It’s been a very busy day but it’s all been worthwhile.

2020 Chinese New Year Part 2

January 25, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

We celebrated Chinese New Year today by going to Grandma’s, meeting up with uncles, aunts, Sissy and BIL. I played Tetris and went up to level 99 before it ended saying Congratulations. I wanted to see how far I could go! Ugh. BIL and I played a few games of Bomberman before calling it quits since the CPU won’t EVERY SINGLE TIME. We’re horrible.

When we left June, Mum and I stopped by Duck and Bao since eating dumplings is good luck for the new year. When we were just about finished the waiter told us they had changed chefs. It explains why the food tasted different than our first time. It wasn’t as flavourful, not as much juices and you can see the hole at the top of the soup dumplings. It was a bummer. We still enjoyed our meal though. Hopefully, when they asked for my feedback, they take what I say to consideration to make it better.

I’ve been cleaning my office in preparation for the little ones to arrive! I’ve been getting in a lot of Netflix movies while doing so.i keep forgetting to clean and end up just watching. Maybe I’m getting old and I can’t multitask anymore …

Delices de Maurice | Katy, Texas

January 24, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Today has been a fairly good day. I woke up early and got my blood work done then headed over to the chiropractor. I splurged and got some sole inserts custom made that’s going to come in a couple of weeks. This is the first session where anywhere he put his hands on it cracked so nicely. I feel as if some weight has been lifted.

I walked around World Market for a bit then headed to Delices de Maurice to meet up with Sebastian. He was nice enough to treat me to dessert, berry fruit tart for me and a cream puff for him. We each got a savory type crepe. I also got a hazelnut latte and he got a French onion soup.

Everything was perfectly made. We both agreed it’s the best crepe in Houston and the pastry was so crisp and fresh. I want more! This is by far one of the best French bistros in Houston!

We sat and talked for what was only supposed to be an hour since he had to pack and head to Austin. By the time we looked down on our phones we realized over two hours had passed. We bid our farewells and I headed home.

After a while I headed to the dealership for some maintenance before heading back home to our Chinese New Year meal.

I’m currently being lazy but I really need to start cleaning my office so that when Brudda, SIL, Emmy, and Finn come down, they have a clean place to sleep for a whole week! Yippie!!

2019 New Year Eve & Finn Arrives

January 1, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Two posts in one day because this new year is already off to a great start! I hope you all had a great start as well. It’s a long post so you can look at pictures if you’d like. Enjoy!

I worked on New Year Eve but left early since I worked so much during my Christmas vacation. I made a trip to the new Kura Revolving Sushi that they just opened up near my house. It was delicious as ever and they even have new items on the menu. I ended up eating a whole lot of plates of scallop sushi and called it a day. It’s been a long time since I went to eat on my own and as usual, it was very empowering and peaceful.

I ran some errands then took a thirty-minute nap before heading over to Mallory’s. This was all the bubbly I acquired the last few days. We didn’t drink them all but the two bottles of champs were gone before you know it because we’re crazy like that. But mostly because Mallory was breastfeeding and was on the clock before the next feed.

2019 New Year Eve | Mallory, Jacob, Mellie Dee

John, Trey, and JJ went to the store to buy groceries and fireworks while Mallory, Jacob, and I stayed behind. We took some selfies with Jacob and he was being such a good baby, opening his eyes and looking at the camera.

Mallory made the asparagus when the boys were gone. When they got home, Trey made my steak and pepper and onions while John made my corn. Everything was delicious but it was way too much so I put it in a baggie to go. Sadly, when I left I forgot it and I’m super sad now.

Mallory, John, JJ, and Jacob went outside to do fireworks while Trey and I stayed inside to eat our dinner because we wanted to enjoy it … with episodes of You. Mallory and I were surprised Trey watches You and encouraged him to continue.

We took a selfie before JJ went to bed. This is my favourite picture because look at JJ. Too cute. I love that John has his best friend, and Mallory has hers. Love you all and couldn’t have thought of a better way to spend our last day of 2019!

When JJ and Mallory went to bed, John, Trey and I finished the episode we were watching beforehand John changed it to something else. I bid them goodnight and headed home before the countdown to celebrate with my parents and June. And also because I had to pack for Dallas to celebrate my nephew, Finn, being born!

We didn’t sleep much and was already on the road before six-thirty in the morning. We stopped by Whataburger for breakfast and I watched a Netflix movie I downloaded before.

First Meet & Greet with Finn | Pokeworks

I took a dang good nap in the car and before I knew it, we were already in Dallas. We dropped stuff at home then picked up food and headed to the hospital. Pokeworks and baby holding goes well together.

He is so itty bitty. The only other time I went to the hospital to hold a newborn baby was Scruffy’s niece. He is so fragile and has the lungs of a singer.

We left after an hour or so and headed home. I stole a Bang Frose Rose from Brudda and I was surprised that it was actually pretty good.

Mum and I left to Jenny’s to visit Emmy. She has a fever and has not gotten to meet her little brother. No one on SIL’s side has gotten to. It was so painful to see her so quiet and out of it. Joey, on the other hand, was all up in your business wanting attention. What a cutie!

After a good while of hanging out with Jenny and Le, we left home. Sammi put in an order at The Boiling Crab. She works there and was able to get us 20% off which is nice. We made extra shrimps so we could dip in the sauce so that we didn’t have to spend so much money. We got shrimp, clams, and mussels and it was divine. The sauces we didn’t end up using will be coming home with me to make more delicious seafood with.

After dinner, we went and visited SIL and Finn one last time before heading back home. Brudda bought all these 10-inch Deadpools. One of each version will be coming home with me as my early birthday present. The rest will go to him or returned. My Deadpool collection is growing quite nicely thanks to him.

Brudda, parents and I are currently watching a Chinese movie. I’m going to start my project for Finn’s room. Wall decals. if it comes out well, I share it with you all.
