LTK Crawfish | Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar | Houston, Texas

February 15, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Starbucks & Kolache Factory | Katy, Texas

The day started off with Starbucks and Kolaches. The Kolache Factory had a grand opening and I got the spin a wheel. My bad luck followed me as I passed the gift card arrow by two pins. I ended up getting a lanyard from Monster instead. Lame.

Mellie Dee & Jacob

Jacob has been better lately. Maybe he’s getting older but he seems to not cry as much when I hold him. He doesn’t like pictures though so this was the best I got. Such big eyes!

JJ & the Katy Rodeo Parade

We headed to the Katy Rodeo Parade. JJ loves all the candy that gets thrown his way. Mallory and I watched the parade while Jacob slept and John … Well John was having his own fun. He made friends with a cop and talked to him the entire time. I joked if they were going to be on a second date. I love when I get invited to little things like these because memories like that will be with me forever.

Afterward we went and spun some Pokestops so that I can get gifts to send them since I never play. When we got back I headed home and took a nice short nap.

LTK Crawfish | Houston, Texas

I headed over to Priscilla’s and we went with Padit and Ryan to pick up some Crawfish from LTK Crawfish and eat back at the house. The spice level was there but the flavour is lacking. We ordered the Traditional Garlic Butter but it was missing some depth. I don’t hate it though and for the price of was well worth it. I ordered snow crabs as well and we all got corn, potatoes and sausage. Sadly the corn was not fully cooked. The fried rice was surprisingly good as well, especially adding in the garlic butter sauce.

Copper Kettle Chocolate Factory | Tomball, Texas

On our way back to the house we stopped by Copper Kettle Chocolate Factory. The whole entire upper box was $10 for all of those chocolate covered strawberries!

I know how to play the system now. Come day after Valentine’s day and buy half a pound of chocolate covered strawberries and get way over a pounds worth since they have to get rid of it! Plus they were about to close so it’s perfect!

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar | Houston, Texas

I met Pradz at Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar. This was THE best piece of bacon I’ve ever had. The beer flight is actually one of the best flights ever put together as well. I would definitely come back here to try other things as we only shared Brussels sprouts since we were still stuffed from our late lunches.

Driving all over today has been exhausting but it’s been great memories all around. Few more days until I get to spend time with an amazing person and eat delicious foods.

Conversations that Spark Wonder

February 8, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Yummy Seafood & Oysters | Katy, Texas | Beth & Scott

I got to introduce Beth and Scott to one of my favourite seafood boil place, Yummy Seafood & Oysters! They ended up loving the flavours and we had nice conversations about everything and anything, like other religions in the world not many people know about.

Scott and I went to high school together but we were in different circles. I remember his face but that’s about it. It’s such a small world that Mallory and Beth would meet and bring everyone together. Mum was so happy the amount I took back home and couldn’t wait to eat her share.

The General Public | Hopdoddy | Houston, Texas | Milos

I worked out while watching telly, picked up the pups from the vet dropoff and got ready to meet Milos at The General Public for a few drinks. After a bit of conversation I started getting hungry so we stopped by Hopdoddys for the burgers and fries. I learned a lot talking to him about people, life, and living. My own personal therapist as I joked.

The weekend is almost over. I’m not ready!

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!

Kura Revoloving Sushi | Katy, Texas

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.

2019 New Year Eve Bubbly

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.

2019 New Year Eve | Steak Dinner

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.

2019 New Years Eve | Mallory, John, Trey, JJ, Mellie Dee

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!

Whataburger and Netflix Movie to Dallas

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.

Finn & Mellie Dee First Meeting

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.

Bang Frose Rose

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.

Visiting Emmy | Joey

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!

The Boiling Crab | Plano, Texas

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.

10 in Deadpool Collection

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.

Trader’s Village

September 29, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Green Mimosa and Mani Pedi

Started off the day with a green mimosa and a medi pedi. I went with two different shades of orange to channel my inner Halloween and fall.

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood | Katy, Texas | Mum & June

I met up with Mum and June at Yummy Crawfish & Seafood. My heart is happy. No crawfish but I’ve been moving on to snow crabs lately and their shrimp is always perfect. We took the sauce home to make more shrimps in. Yum!

Trader's Village | Houston, Texas | Ed

I went home and relax because food coma then Ed came and picked me up. Everyone who knows me knows that I hate driving so I love when people come and pick me up.

We headed to Trader’s Village. They have a lot of stalls there but not much of things I’d want to buy. I picked out something for Emmy only because it was new. Other than that we mostly ate and drank fresh juices.

Kung Fu Tea | Katy, Texas | Ed

We stopped by for some Kung Fu Tea since our conversation started to get pretty deep. It’s crazy how long I’ve known him yet we both don’t see each other a lot. That’s what makes this friendship so easy.

It’s going to be a very busy week especially since my vacation is coming up. Flying to the field office Tuesday for work and flying to Arizona on Saturday for the Cousin Trip. Fingers crossed it’ll be a pretty simple week though.

Astros Win!

September 20, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood | Katy, Texas

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood after work hit the spot. They were out of blue crabs and crawfish but I was okay with shrimp and snow crabs. I watched The Walking Dead while I ate and enjoyed the alone time.

Chick-fil-A | Caramel Frapp

I went home and took a nap and when June got home we headed out stopping at Chick-fil-A. June got a entree and I got waffle fries and a caramel frap. Never will we order cold coffees from Chick-fil-A. Watered down and nasty and June agreed with her iced coffee.

Houston Astros v Los Angeles Angels | Win!

Timothy met us at Sissy and BIL’s and we headed to the Astros game. We won!! The excitement was mostly in the beginning which sucked but it was a great first game for her. We enjoyed the fireworks after as well. I used to hate fireworks but I’ve grown to love shimmery, glittery things. How weird.
