[2018] | 168/365: Ashy’s Father’s Day

Scruffy and I woke up this morning in a hurry to leave my house. Apparently Rami, Caitlin and Peyton were there since forever in the morning with breakfast to surprise Ashy.

They didn’t really share their plans with us so we were banking more for dinner. Nonetheless we made it in time to spend a few hours with them before they left. We ate some of the breakfast They brought and we even ordered Chinese food for lunch.

Soon enough I was on my merry way back home 5o have dinner with my own father. We mostly chowed down with yesterday’s leftovers and did it Japenese style.

I’m so pooped. I am still looking forward to a plan free weekend. It’s been too busy since I got this job. Sigh … I really wished I lived closer to work.

2018 Happy Father’s Day

Today Sissy and BIL came over to celebrate Father’s Day early. We played The Champions of Midgard which took forever. It’s a fun game but super annoying that we have so many little pieces to set up and tear down.

We had hot pot and was super surprised that we ate majority veggies and left so much other things. That’s very rare but I guess everyone is trying to be healthy which is good.

We are now playing other games while I’m slow,y falling into a food coma. Night, everyone!

EID Mubarak!!

Today marks the end of Ramadan or as they would say, EID Mubarak! We celebrated by going to Camilla’s house for some light snacks. Jamie made a tomato sauce with egg type thing that you dip with bread. The other crazy looking thing is like a funnel cake but much oilier. They love their carbs! haha

We then went to the Jarro Cafe. It’s been forever and we were bummed when we found out they were all out of pastor. We ended up getting three tacos total, one for each of us and sharing the last one. Yum. I wish they were closer to my house!

We went back to my place, lazed around and headed to 99 Ranch Market before eating dinner at Cravin’ Cajun. I was shocked when Scruffy said he craved it so I agreed to it without hesitation. We ended up order four pounds of crawfish, one pound of shrimp, two corns, and A LOT of potatoes.

It’s been a great day. I really do miss having every other Friday off. It really puts into perspective how much I actually got done not having to work those two Fridays a month. Now to relax for the rest of the weekend.

Team Building at 8th Wonder Brewery

Hi lovelies, I am enjoying work especially now that I don’t have to talk to the mean lady as much as I used to. Win! And it helped that I had today’s team building at 8th Wonder Brewery to look forward to. When we got there pizza was already on the tables and we all got a pint glass with three tokens. We chowed down and I met someone that speaks my language! I always get super happy when I meet people who speak in my dialect because it’s so rare.

Soon enough I was at another table playing What Do You Meme? with new people. There were many laughs and inappropriate moments. Whoops … but they were all cool so it all worked out okay.

One of the ladies ordered fries with pulled pork to share with everyone from the Eastie Boyz food truck. I’ve always seen it but never ordered food from there. I was pretty floored that I actually liked the pulled pork more than the fries.

Every thirty minutes from five to eight, they gave out a gift bag. A few of them had Astros tickets and I won one of them!! The game is on a Wednesday … dollar hot dog night!! I was also able to snag fourteen total beer tokens that I can share with Scruffy, Sissy, and BIL next time we go. Eeep! How exciting.

It’s been a great day. A handful of us stayed until nine because we were having such great conversations. I feel better getting the chance to meet more people who I see every day but never speak to. I will have to see them next week though because I have so much overtime that I took tomorrow off. Time to relax, enjoy cuddles with Rizzo, watch TVB shows, and play with my IPad. Night everyone!

Luna Sitting Like A Human

[2018] 164/365: Human Luna

Scruffy took this picture and I thought I’d share since I have been so busy to take a picture for the day. But in all seriousness, who can pass up this picture? She loves sitting like a human and it makes me so happy. If she was wearing clothes, she would definitely look more human! haha

Work has been busy but I’m trucking along. The boss came up to me and told me the mean lady is saying I said this and that and I was just appalled that someone could make up such lies. It’s sad that she has to do that to feel like she has a hold on me or in hopes I’ll get in trouble but I’m not going to let one mean lady (and lady is putting it nicely) stop me from achieving my goals! It’s stressful knowing you have to keep watching your back but it also shows me who I can really trust at work. And even then, I have my walls up so time will tell. I am hoping things get better but that’s the optimist in me.
