Three Nice Men

July 18, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 199/365 | Car Accident

[2018] 199/365: Car Crash

What a scary moment. I was heading over to Mallory’s and a sudden crash changed everything. I’ve never been in an accident so bad that I had to call a tow truck, not even when someone tboned me. My radiator blew and was leaking all over the freeway.

I’m thankful to have hit who I did because he was the NICEST man I’ve ever met when it came to this type of thing. I mean, I’m sorry I hit him (dang stop and go, jutting traffic)but there was not a scratch on his truck and wasn’t going to report it. And he stayed with me through it all.

We were sweating in the heat and he offered to let me sit in his air conditioned truck. Was I afraid he’d kidnap me or something? Yes. But I took that chance. He even helped me out with everything even when the cop (also a nice man) showed up and he even offered to take me home, letting me drop of my package at a postal service too. Like seriously, he was amazing.

And can I just add, the tow truck man was super nice as well? I left my work badge im the car and he met up with me to give it to me since the place he took it to was closing and I wouldn’t have made it in time.

I am blessed to be alive and am still in disbelief to have met such wonderful men in times of trouble.

I’m sad I wasn’t able to workout today. Mum’s orders since I could have gotten hurt from the accident. So it’s me and my Kindle until bedtime.

Dumplings Bringing Back Memories

July 17, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 198/365 | Doozo Dumplings | Houston, Texas

[2018] 198/365: Memories

Ever since my return to downtown I’ve been searching for this dumpling place where my old mentor would take me once in a while and we would talk about life back in 2007. And today as I went with the kids to lunch at Doozo Dumplings, it hit me that I’ve found it. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was that I was still here and that there was still so many customers till this day. I cannot wait to come back again and eat there dumplings. This is by far the best dumplings in downtown near work that I could find.

Ice Cream Party at Work

Later in the day there was an ice cream social at work to celebrate summer and since it was National Ice Cream Day on Sunday. They had vendors there with BlueBell ice cream with choices of a few flavors and many toppings to choose from. I opted for cookies and cream and lots of sprinkles and mini m&ms. I added the whipped cream, chocolate syrup and cherries for the picture and gladly gave those up to may coworker once I snapped my shot.

One Tree Hill and Rowing

Upon arriving home I got on my room machine and rowed while watching One Tree Hill. This is one of my favorite shows and wished I have someone to rewatch it with to share the tears I cry because this show gets me right in the feels.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

2018 | 197/365 | Rowing Machine

[2018] 197/365: Rowing Vigorously

I’m not too sure if I mentioned that I bought a rowing machine a while back. This is during my job searching days and was home all the time and I thought that buying this would help me get into the fitness routine again.I wish that I went and splurged a bit more for the more fancier one but this was a good, decent price and it’s good enough to get me there.

I usually leave this out in the other bedroom but due to all the holidays and special events people have been staying over and I always have to put it up. I finally pulled it out again and thought to challenge myself to do a hundred on the hardest setting and my goodness was it a challenge. But I did it!

Now let’s see how long I can keep this up. Twenty eight days makes it a habit, right? Like blogging everyday this year?

Dog Filled Day

July 15, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2018 | 196/365 | Silly Luney

[2018] 196/365: I Spy Bailey

Luna knows she’s not allowed on the couches at Scruffy’s house so it’s hilarious when we find her like this. Do you spy another dog in the background? That’s Bailey, Scruffy’s cousin’s dog. She’s the nicest, gentlest, and softest dog ever. I was sad to say goodbye to her.

Domino's

As we watched the world cup, we ordered Domino’s. I wasn’t a big fan of the pizza and for the cost of the pasta and wings, I was disappointed. For wings and pasta with a nice pizza, fast food-wise, I’ll stick with PIzza Hut.

Rizzo Stares

Rizzo will not stop staring at me once I got home. He misses his mummy! haha I’m sad I won’t see him again this weekend but I know he’s in good hands. Plus, I get to see Liliana! It’s been long overdue. We have some things planned but I just mostly want to catch up with her and talk about the wedding. It’ll be a mini-vacation for me too since it’s been awhile since I went somewhere and explored.

Busy Saturday

July 14, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Pollo Bravo | Houston, Texas | Causa Rellena and Pollo Quesadillas

Scruffy and I woke up this morning and ate my leftover pho and Chaurrasco’s for brunch. We got ready and headed to the rehab center where Mama is and paid her a visit since it’s been awhile since I last saw her. She’s up and walking with the help of her walker and brace but she’s doing great.

We stopped by World Market for literally a quick couple of minutes before we had to meet Caitlin, Rami, and Peyton at Pollo Bravo for lunch. Since we ate not too long ago, I opted for the Causa Rellena appetizer (way too dry) while Scruffy got the Pollo Quesadillas (not bad but if the salad was cassava fries it would of been perfect). Thomas met up up with us there and ordered to go.

The Teahouse | Houston, Texas

After lunch I went and got a Milk Tea with lychee jellies at The Teahouse. Bad mistake because I asked for less sugar and got a watered down drink where half was ice. It was so horrible but for five dollars I tried my best to suck down everything.

We then headed to Caitlin, Rami, and Peyton’s where we played a few card games before they left to return a mattress and Scruffy and I left for dinner.

2018 | 195/365 | Little Sheep Hot Pot

[2018] 195/365: Spicy Hot Pot

We weren’t too sure where to go but decided on hot pot at Little Sheep. Sissy and BIL met up with us at the spur of the moment and it was a fun last minute decision. After our bellies were full we said goodnight and headed home. I’m not too sure what we’re going to do now. I’m assuming telly and then bedtime.

I’m not ready for the weekend to end!
