Last Team Happy Hour for Erin

June 20, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant | Houston, Texas

Jake came into the office today and Christopher and I joined him for lunch at La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant. It was actually not bad! The salsa they give for the chips and dip is one of the best ones I’ve had because of the spiciness. This was too much food though and I had to pack majority of it away.

Erin & Mellie Dee Yardhouse Happy Hour | Chinky Eyes

Erin and I with too much laughter with our chinky eyes to our wide open eyes. Our team left to meet her for her last ever goodbye happy hour at Yardhouse. We were there from 3 to 9 pm. One of the longest team happy hours I’ve been to but also one of the bests. I had an old fashioned, a beer, and about five shots with a lot of delicious foods.

Erin & Mellie Dee Yardhouse Happy Hour

Us being normal. Throughout the years that I’ve known her, tonight was probably the night where we had the most contact in the sense of touching. Nothing weird, just hugs and pokes. I guess this is our way of saying we’ll miss each other.

Thankful for her and everything she’s done for me whether it be my job or my personal life. I’m still working on myself and am glad she was there when I needed someone the most, helping shape me and give me confidence in things I’ve lacked my whole life. It hasn’t hit me that she’ll be halfway around the world soon but maybe it also means our friendship can withstand the distance. <3

Erin’s Last Day

June 13, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Shipley's Donuts for Erin's Last Day

Maria was nice enough to get Shipley’s donuts, donut holes, and kolaches for the team as a goodbye to Erin. Her big hoopla happy hour with the team is not until next Thursday so I guess you can say this is a pre-goodbye.

Mexico's Deli | Houston, Texas | Fajita, Pastor, and Cochinita Pibil with Charro Beans

Erin, Angie, and Josh went to get lunch at Mexico’s Deli. I was stuck in a meeting so I met up with them later. It was surprisingly delicious except for the fact that they need a fly trap. The taco truck is still my favourite place though. Note to self: go back to the taco truck soon!

Work settled down but ever since everyone found out Erin was leaving, it’s been a whole lot of crazy. I sat in some meetings with her and now too many people trust me on things that have nothing to do with me. Help …

2018 Rodeo Houston | Luke Bryan | Priscilla & Mellie Dee

Priscilla and I made plans to see Luke Bryan in less than a five-minute text conversation. My most spontaneous “yes” and it was an amazing experience. Note to self: Make more spontaneous choices.

They had some great garlic cheese fries that’s a must eat!

2018 Rodeo Houston | Luke Bryan Concert | Priscilla & Mellie Dee

We ate some delicious rodeo foods and sat in the freezing cold to catch up about life before the concert. He’s always been on my list of people to see and I’m glad I can check it off my list. He forgot lyrics to “Crash My Party” and it was adorable.

Emmy 2nd Birthday

Emmy turned two years old on March 6th and we had her birthday party on the 2nd. Brudda went all out with the decorations and I assisted with the curtains which came out looking pretty great. She had a great time and was a trooper with all the pictures.

Rizzo had a great time on Emmy’s new tricycle.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Old Dominion | John, Mallory, Trey & Mellie Dee

John had free tickets to see Old Dominon at the rodeo. He got to invite a friend, Trey, and Mallory got to invite a friend, me. It was freezing cold out and so after while we called it quits and went into the stadium.

We had amazing seats and I got to see all the features of all the animals which means I cried throughout the whole show because … poor animals.

Mallory and I don’t take many pictures together so, here’s one without the boys.

I was surprised how many songs I knew from them. I’m not sure what happened but he was in crutches so he was just sitting on the thrown the whole time.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw | Sissy, Julie & Mellie Dee

Sissy and Julie were going to buy tickets to see Tim McGraw and I slid myself in their plans because … why not?

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw | Sissy & Mellie Dee

Also, I’m so glad I’ve gotten to wear my cowboy boots. Scruffy’s cousin was able to give us a discount and I always dreamed of wearing them to the rodeo and my wish came true.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw Concert | Sissy, Julie & Mellie Dee

Tim McGraw looks great for his age and it made my heart melt when he ran all around the stadium floor to give everyone high fives. Much love for him and it shows how much he truly loves his fans.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw Concert with Clay Walker | Sissy, Julie & Mellie Dee

He even had Clay Walker make a guest appearance on one of his songs which got the crowd going wild. He even played longer than his allotted one hour. So amazing.

Dinner and Movie at Priscilla

Priscilla was nice enough to invite me over to her house for dinner when I was having an emotional breakdown. She cooked some delicious fish and veggies while I got to play with her youngest who was in love with me. We watched Instant Family and I cried throughout the whole movie because some of it resonated with me.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Kane Brown | Mallory & Mellie Dee

Another Mallory and me picture. It seems we have to be doing some type of activity to get pictures together.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Kane Brown | Leah, Mallory & Mellie Dee | Rodeo

Leah drove down to go to the rodeo with us and introduced us to Cheetos Popcorn. I’ve seen it but never ventured to get it and my goodness. We couldn’t stop eating it. Someone, please tell me how we can make our own! Luckily, having the popcorn took my mind off of the rodeo because … poor animals.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Kane Brown Concert | Leah, Mallory & Mellie Dee

Kane Brown concert hit hard. I cried at almost all his songs because it reminded me of Scruffy. And when his wife jumped on stage to hug him and kiss him my heart hurt even more. They are so adorable together. So much love! Also, he was presented with a 4k Platinum plaque for his song, Heaven! Congratulations!

March 10, 2019

Juhi came back from London on Friday and wanted to go to the rodeo. She didn’t care for a concert and just wanted to have carnival foods and see mutton busting. Sadly, mutton busting didn’t happen. This was a spontaneous “yes” and I had a great time!

2018 Rodeo Houston | Erin, Juhi & Mellie Dee

John and Erin were available and we all walked around the whole entire place and ate so much food. I finally got to go to the Wine area! We got a bottle of wine and sat and talked life.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Juhi & Mellie Dee | Llamas

Juhi really wanted to play games and growing up, I’ve never really got to do that and win stuffed animals so I was down to do so. I’ve always wanted a date to the rodeo to do cutesy stuff like that. I understand I could just go and buy a stuffed animal but it’s not the same as winning one. I like to obtain memories more than anything.

I won a boy llama and she won a girl one. We were both TOO happy about it.

Luchi & Joey's | Houston, Texas | Juhi's Welcome Back

We had a welcome back lunch for Juhi at Luchi & Joey’s. It’s not the best but it wasn’t the worst. It was nice to catch up with old coworkers as well and now I’m invited to their crawfish boil next weekend. I’m excited!

The Boil House | Houston, Texas | Erin, Juhi, Chris

Speaking of crawfish, Erin, Juhi, Chris and I went to The Boil House for some delicious crawfish. This is cajun style and the flavour was on point but I still love my garlic butter crawfish. Will I come back? Yes, if I was in the area.

Switch Party with Erin, Juhi, Chris

We got alcohol and went back to Erin’s for a Nintendo Switch party. We played Smash and the verdict is that we are pretty horrible at it. We went on with Mario Party and I got first place! We also played a couple rounds of Overcooked and I feel like that’s when friendships end. haha

Life just hit all at once and my bottled up emotions all exploded everywhere. With it all, I still tried to live my best life and enjoyed the company I was surrounded by. Thankful for all of them.

Girl’s Night in San Antonio

January 11, 2019 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

San Antonio Bound with Monkey

I worked a full day and headed off to San Antonio right after. I was so tired and pooped out that the drive was actually not that great especially because it rained the whole time. Coffee didn’t even help and instead just made me want to pee.

Whenever I travel alone I usually bring along a stuffed animal for company. It makes me not as scared. I’m a kid at heart. It’s been tough doing things alone after having someone with you almost 24/7 but I’ve been pushing myself to be independent again.

Taquitos West Ave | San Antonio, Texas

It was almost a four hour drive but I survived! I drove to Patricia’s and we headed to Thuy’s soon after. I haven’t been to her house since the bridal shower and they got a lot of work done on the house. So homey and calming.

We went to Taquitos West Ave. I’ve been wanting to go here the last four times I’ve been in town so I was so excited. They are SO good! I’m told the other location is even better so my goodness I need that next time!

Panaderia West Ave | San Antonio, Texas

We went next door to the Panaderia West Ave, a bakery for some goodies. This one is actually for Patricia’s brother but hey, picture opportunity. I felt bad because germs but she said he wouldn’t mind so …

Thuy, Patricia, Mellie Dee

We stopped for a quick group picture before heading back to Thuy’s house. I’ve realized I don’t have many pictures with Thuy so this is perfect. I love y’all!

Wine at Thuy's

We went back to Thuy’s, gave Vu his food and sat on the couch with our wine. We talked about so many things but mostly about guys and the like. You know, usual girl talk.

I haven’t caught up with Thuy in so long so it was long overdue. Poor Patricia was a trooper for staying up best she could so I could have my hangout time with Thuy. You’re the best, P!

Supervisor Intern Lunch at Tejas Grill

November 7, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 311/365 | Tejas Grill for Supervisor Intern Lunch

[2018] 311/365: Tejas Grill Supervisor Intern Lunch

Prisila and I took the second set of interns to our supervisor Intern lunch. They are high school freshmen and you can see the shyness so brightly. One of the kids kept playing a game on their phone no matter how many times we said to put it away.

Overall work has been going by very fast and I mostly believe it’s because of these lunches and dinners I’ve been heading.

Tomorrow night I’ll get to see Emmy! Except I’ll be asleep but come Friday after work! I’m ready for her shining face! Eeeek!
