Happy Hour at High & Dry

January 17, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Work has been getting harder and harder. I can’t seem to get a break. And feelings of suffocation is happening.

I left work later than planned, rushed home to let the pups out then headed to BIL’s to drop off the PS4. Jason came and was surprised at all the boxes and bags and even tape that still worked after so many years. He said it was like unwrapping a whole new PS4!

High & Dry | Houston, Texas | Old Fashioned & Love Street

Even though it was horrible at work, I was happy I got to be at happy hour with my old co-workers.

Salim dropped off his car at Sissy’s and we took an Uber to High and Dry. He was nice enough to get me a drink since I paid for the ride.

High & Dry | Houston, Texas | Priscilla & Mellie Dee

Priscilla and I had to take a selfie of course!

Then one with all the boys, Salim, Aaron, John and Gilbert. The crowd was crazy and after throwing a few back we headed to eat.

Christian's Tailgate | Houston, Texas | Priscilla, Gilbert, Salim, Aaron, John

I hadn’t eaten since seven the previous night so I guess you could say I was having a dang good time. We ordered a whole table of food and had a great time talking, laughing, and singing along with the 90s music that was playing at Christian’s Tailgate.

We bid our farewells to Priscilla and then after a while, Salim called an Uber and we were out the door. A quick ride back to our cars where we said good night. I headed home since this week has been tough and my bed is calling my name. He, on the other hand, is still out partying. I joked he was going to a booty call.

Tomorrow is hopefully a full day of fun and entertainment. Can’t wait! Eek!

Goodbye, PS4

January 11, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Goodbye PS4

Factory resetting my PS4 to sell. I haven’t used it since Scruffy and I broke up. I remember buying a new car and a PS4 when I knew I was going to get laid off soon which I wrote about in a post.

I told everyone it was to spend more time with BIL and sometimes Sissy but it was truthfully so that I can spend time with Scruffy. I knew he played a lot of video games so I wanted to spend time with him doing something he loved.

In the beginning, we’d play a bit but it ended up just me usually playing by myself or using it to watch telly since he wasn’t super interested in playing with me no matter how much I asked him to pick a game we can both play. I guess sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can never be a part of someone’s life if they won’t let you in completely.

Goodbye, PS4. You gave me some great memories. Maybe one day, I’ll have someone who’ll want to play PS5 with me. Until then, it’s me and my Switch.

Working from Home | Rizzo & 2020 Goals

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working from home. Rizzo’s head is so tiny next to that giant paper of goals. I’m starting to feel like the assistant to the boss. I mean, I love scheduling meetings and running them, okay that’s a lie, I hate meetings. But I don’t mind the work as it helps me be a stronger speaker but it’s all so nervewracking when everyone thinks you’re “in charge” when you shouldn’t be. Luckily the boss set them straight that I was tasked so whatever I said kinda goes.

Rizzo Inching Towards My Side of the Bed

I’d look over to this sleeping beauty who put himself under the blanket, head on the pillow. I also kept seeing him slowly inching towards my side of the bed. He looks so peaceful. I keep having thoughts of how I’d be if he was gone from my life. Does anyone else get those moments with their pets or kids? Is that weird?

Happy Lamb Hot Pot | Houston, Texas | Sissy, BIL, Dad, & June

Today, June, Dad and I met Sissy and BIL at Happy Lamb Hot Pot. June and I have sworn off eating anything else the rest of the day because even though we didn’t eat a whole lot, it was still way more than what we’re used to lately.

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

Q1 2020 Team Away Day

January 9, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Q1 2020 Team Away Day | Snacks

I ran the first team away day of the year. I was nervous, flubbed a lot, but overall it went well. It’s also the reason I’ve been MIA this week. I’ve been working hard to put everything together and I’m glad everyone had a great time.

Q1 2020 Team Away Day | BATL Houston Heights

After our discussion on our 2020 goals, we headed to BATL Houston Heights for some axe throwing.

Q1 2020 Team Away Day | BATL Houston Heights | Food

We ordered burgers and pizza for lunch along with two alcoholic beverages. The food comes from next door while the drinks are there at the place which is pretty convenient. The pizza was great though I heard the burgers were meh.

Q1 2020 Team Away Day | BATL Houston Heights | Mellie Dee Axe Throwing

I got to throw big and small axes but overall I sucked horribly. Not so horrible that I was last place though!

I got to make shirts for everyone for this axe throwing event. I’m glad they turned out great and even the people who printed the shirts were surprised at how well and clean the design came out! So … I guess I do shirts that can be sent to the printers now. Hit me up!

Jacob in Bouncer

We left early and some went to happy hour. I went over to Mallory’s and came in seeing this bundle in his bouncer. He was a happy baby the whole time I was there!

Cafe Del Sol | Katy, Texas

we ordered food from Cafe Del Sol and got Door Dash to deliver. Their food is pretty delicious.

Mallory and I watched a few episodes of Dynasty before I left. And now it’s relaxing and then working from home tomorrow. Yippie!

The Mindy Project & Office Lady Podcast

January 4, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Red Truck Cafe | Plano, Texas

Breakfast of champions with Sissy, Mum and Dad at Red Truck Cafe. Food was pretty good. It has a homey feel to it and the service was terrific. I had to pack a lot of it to go as well.

Sissy and I drove back home in time for the Texan game. June came to pick me up and I’ve been relaxing, spending time cuddling Rizzo.

Last night Sissy and I binged on three episodes of The Mindy Project. I had watched the first episode and couldn’t get into it but it seems it’s funnier as you keep watching. I’ve been hooked and cannot stop. It reminds me of New Girl and The Office mixed together.

Speaking of The Office, there’s a podcast called Office Ladies. Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey rewatch every episode of the show and then comment on it. They give facts and background to the show. It’s hilarious. Sissy and I listened to the first episode together and then we went home and re-watched it. If you loved The Office, you should definitely go listen to it!

Finn and Emmy Meet

January 3, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Deadpool Funkos

Woke up to Brudda telling me the 10 inch Deadpools were for my birthday this year to me replying it could be for two since there so many. He ran to his storage and pulled these small ones out to add to it. I’m going to bed more storage space until I move out!

Finn's Bedroom Wall

Finn’s room is now ready! I might just call him Ethan in here since we haven’t locked down a nickname for him. Do y’all like the wall decal? I took what brother sent me and changed it just a tad and cut it out and applied it. I’m open for business! Holler at me.

XO Coffee & Bistro | Plano, Texas

We dropped Sissy at the hair salon then Mum and I went to run some errands before going to XO Coffee and Bistro. Iced latte for me and a mocha and pastry for Mum. Then we walked around some local shops before Sissy was done.

Zero Degrees & Beard Papas | Plano, Texas

We stopped by Beard Papas and Zero Degrees to pick up lunch for the family. Beard Papas gave out free mugs since January 2nd was cream puff day which was pretty awesome.

Japanese Single Malt Whiskey

Emmy wanted to get out of the house so Sissy and I took her to Target. We went home and played with her for a while before Emmy finally got to meet Finn. I heard she was unsure first but warmed up quick.

Jenny and Le came over and Brudda opened the Single Malt Whiskey they brought from Japan. It was super smooth. We all hung out for a long while before we all headed off to bed.

Tomorrow we head home. Can’t wait to see Rizzo!!
