Girl’s Day

December 21, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I came over to Mallory’s since Leah is in town for the day. When I walked in, JJ was so happy to see me. He screamed my name and ran over to give me the biggest hug. He’s such a happy camper in the morning so I took the chance to get a picture in with him.

When John and JJ left to go to John’s parents house, Mallory, Leah, Jacob and I went to That’s My Dog for lunch. They have the best sausage link ever and their fried taste amazing even with nothing on it! My order next time is just a regular dog with regular fries. Mmm, we were so tired after.

Beth came over and brought over her Color Street kits. I bought a few and we decided to go festive and get kinda the same nails done. I need more practice but I’m happy with how they came out.

Beth left and that’s when the wine started pouring. We even downed some Ole Smokey Moonshine. The one I had with Scruffy a long time ago was the apple pie but I’d say the butter pecan is better.

I took some Snapchat filter pictures with Jacob and loved how they came out. He had such big eyes to begin with so it just enhanced it.

Mallory, Leah and I talked a lot and caught up a bunch. Then John and JJ came home and we left. I just noticed how long I was there but it was a great time. Now to relax with Rizzo before falling asleep. Night, world.

2019 Work Christmas Party & Reunion with Jared

December 19, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I had a one-on-one with Ricardo, my boss’ boss, yesterday. He is new to the team a few months ago and has set meet and greets with every single person under him. I am surprised about it but it makes working that much more rewarding knowing they care. He even wrote personable holiday cards to each person as well. It’s crazy and new in this company where there were always walls.

2019 Work Christmas Party | Ninja Turtle Sweater

Today was our work Christmas party at Eddie V’s. We had an ugly sweater contest as well as white elephant. Although work did buy me a “Santa’s Favourite Ho” sweater, after wearing if at Patricia’s White Elephant and getting certain comments I decided to wear my Ninja Turtles one for this party instead.

I ended up with wine glasses for the white elephant. They stuck a gift receipt on it so I most likely will return it since I don’t need any more wine glasses. I have enough saved up.

2019 Work Christmas Party | Eddie V's | Houston, Texas

I ordered the filet mignon which came with potatoes and Brussels for the table. You best bet I ate a lot of the Brussels. They came with fresh fruit and creme brulee desserts. Our team brought two Bundt cakes to say goodbye to two team members. I ended up drinking six glasses of Cabernet and Pinot Noir combined. It was a good time.

I went home and took a nap and then met Jared for margaritas. We haven’t seen one another for almost four years if not more. It’s crazy how time flies. We caught up on dating, breakups, work, family, etc. He’s currently looking for a place to purchase and maybe do some gatherings.

My holiday has begun. Here’s to cuddles and telly with my love!

Day with Rose

Proud Pie | Katy, Texas | Mint Chocolate Chip Pie

I’m not going to lie. I really don’t remember what I did this morning up until Rose texted me that she was coming over to pick me up. We went and got lunch at Proud Pie.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here and I was happy to see they had Mint Chocolate Chip Pie. It reminds me of the ice cream! So freaking good. Don’t let the two pies fool you. It’s actually one slice split in two!

The sandwiches are the same old same old. Nothing to write home about. If anything, my chicken pesto sandwich was a bit dry and wished they put more pesto in.

The drinks were good. Not super sweet which I liked. She wished it was sweeter.

We sat and talked for a long while until we went off to Michael’s to buy knitting tools for some folks. We’re starting a knitting/crocheting club at work. The majority of them do not know how so it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

We then went to HomeGoods next door. One of my favourite places. It’s like TJ Maxx in my opinion … but fancier.

We were both able to get our White Elephant presents for work during this adventure and I snagged one as well for the one I’m going to next week. People told me bringing a cleaver to a White Elephant is weird. I guess I’ll keep it for myself!

I’ve been working on designs for the work party. I’m not sure how people feel about them so I made examples with leftover vinyl I had. This is one of them. I will bring it to the planning team Monday and see what they think before we start cutting and applying it to the ornaments we got for the entire team. It’s going to be a lot of work but I’m glad I finally have a project I can do to use my Cricut.

The weekend is almost over. I cannot wait to do absolutely nothing.

Smoosh | Katy, Texas

September 24, 2019 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Today I got to see my 3rd grader again. Not really sure why it’s called mentoring since I’m not really teaching her anything other than spending time with her. If anything I just call it volunteering. Regardless we had a good time with other second graders and their mentors walking around the school, coloring pages and playing Sorry all while they ate.

Work has been so busy that I didn’t have time to eat so I was lucky to be served fried rice when I arrived at Mallory’s. JJ had a big fit when we decided to leave the house he didn’t want Mallory to leave and for the first time he didn’t want me to leave. Usually he’ll kick and scream saying that I should go and mommy should stay.

We have plans to go somewhere in La Centerra for dessert but ended up at Smoosh. I love their bright blue wall. Mallory decided on vanilla ice cream sandwich with two different types of cookies with rainbow sprinkles. I opted for the churros and ube ice cream topped with rainbow sprinkles and mini M&M’s. Everything tasted pretty great except for the bummer of a stale churros. I still prefer Somi Somi then here though.

We went across the street to Hurts Donuts Company. I’ve been meaning to go here but never ventured out. I don’t think I have been missing out though because right when I walked in the sweetness punched me in the face. We didn’t end up getting … other than diabetes from the sweet, sugary air.

HMart | Katy, Texas | Male Enhancement Pills

We stopped by Mallory’s parents house for a quick hello before heading off to HMart so that she could by some necessities. We ended up finding male enhancement pills in the home aisle and can’t help but laugh when a man kept hovering around the same aisle.

I’m going to be sad when I move further away since it’s already a little tough to get together now. She said we’ll figure it out when the time comes and we’ll make it work and I laughed because she made it sound as if we were a couple doing long distance relationship.

Hotsome Chicken Eatery & Desserts | Houston, Texas

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!
