Smoosh | Katy, Texas

September 24, 2019 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Today I got to see my 3rd grader again. Not really sure why it’s called mentoring since I’m not really teaching her anything other than spending time with her. If anything I just call it volunteering. Regardless we had a good time with other second graders and their mentors walking around the school, coloring pages and playing Sorry all while they ate.

Work has been so busy that I didn’t have time to eat so I was lucky to be served fried rice when I arrived at Mallory’s. JJ had a big fit when we decided to leave the house he didn’t want Mallory to leave and for the first time he didn’t want me to leave. Usually he’ll kick and scream saying that I should go and mommy should stay.

We have plans to go somewhere in La Centerra for dessert but ended up at Smoosh. I love their bright blue wall. Mallory decided on vanilla ice cream sandwich with two different types of cookies with rainbow sprinkles. I opted for the churros and ube ice cream topped with rainbow sprinkles and mini M&M’s. Everything tasted pretty great except for the bummer of a stale churros. I still prefer Somi Somi then here though.

We went across the street to Hurts Donuts Company. I’ve been meaning to go here but never ventured out. I don’t think I have been missing out though because right when I walked in the sweetness punched me in the face. We didn’t end up getting … other than diabetes from the sweet, sugary air.

HMart | Katy, Texas | Male Enhancement Pills

We stopped by Mallory’s parents house for a quick hello before heading off to HMart so that she could by some necessities. We ended up finding male enhancement pills in the home aisle and can’t help but laugh when a man kept hovering around the same aisle.

I’m going to be sad when I move further away since it’s already a little tough to get together now. She said we’ll figure it out when the time comes and we’ll make it work and I laughed because she made it sound as if we were a couple doing long distance relationship.

Hotsome Chicken Eatery & Desserts | Houston, Texas

June and I went shopping and didn’t buy much. We enjoyed the hours spent walking though since it feels like we somewhat worked out. I need to get a new fitness tracker again because I know I’m not getting enough walks.

Hotsome Chicken Eatery & Dessert | Houston, Texas

We got hungry and decided to try Hotsome Chicken. It’s been on my list for a while and my goodness, their fried chicken was fried perfectly along with their french fries. We craved noodles so we ordered some too but we will try out the Korean Noodle House right next door when we crave Korean noodles again.

We went and got groceries as well and grabbed some Starbucks. This is definitely way better than Chick-fil-A of course and if hit the craving though it was too strong for me.

Sissy reminded us of our free Chick-fil-A since the Astros hit the sign. Who the heck is Mossa? They obviously knew it was wrong since they typed red t-shirt. Haha too funny. June and I snagged ours and headed home for relaxation.

My head has been hurting the last few days so I haven’t been up to do much. Help!

Astros Win!

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.

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.

Delisha's Chicken & Dumplings | Free Work Gift Card

There was a flash floods warning but if you know me you’d know I’d still go in if it’s not bad at all. So I started off my day with some chicken and dumplings Delisha gave me yesterday. When I was walking through the cafe, the lady that says hi to me every time gave me a gift card with a small balance left. I used it to buy an iced coffee later in the day for a pick me up.

Everyone that went into the office left around the same time, early. I relaxed at home a bit then Rose came to pick me up with her daughters. We .Ade plans last second and it was a great time.

We went to Soju 101 for dinner. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it wasn’t bad. They were a little pricey too but we did end up buying the whole menu so … Yeah. I did soju tasting, 4 shots for $4.99. my favourite was the yogurt soju and blueberry soju. So dang good. I also had my first Korean rice cake tasting and I surprisingly liked it.

We went and got dessert after. They love it here. I have never been into this type of dessert though I will say I wouldn’t mind coming back for the almond pudding. That was probably the only good thing.

I cannot wait to see them again soon. It’s funny how Rose and I work in the same building and live a street over yet never see one another. I’ve told myself to make better sure to keep in touch. I’m horrible at it with everyone.

Seafood, Reunions, Theater, & Bar Hopping

Yesterday was so busy I didn’t have time to blog! It’s been a long while since that has happened. Overall, it was a great relaxing day. I put down the worries and didn’t care. I went with the flow and everything went very well.

Nail Bar | Katy, Texas | Mimosa, Pedicure, Manicure

I started off getting a manicure and pedicure by myself to relax and enjoyed a mimosa while doing so. In less than half an hour I was out the door. They have great timing and get so many customers because of it.

I went home and relaxed for half an hour before heading back out the door with June. We went and got reflexology massage at Footworks. $30 per person for an hour. So freaking worth it.

Yummy Crawfish & Seafood | Katy, Texas | The Yummy-nator, Crawfish, Shrimp — The Yummy-Nator [2 pieces snow crabs, 2 pieces blue crabs, 2 lb crawfish, 6 pieces shrimp, 2 pieces corn, 2 pieces potatoes, mushrooms in combo mixer, spicy] | ~$50 • 1 lb crawfish [Cajun, medium spicy] | $6.99 • 1 lb shrimp [yummy house delight, medium spicy] | $12.99

June and I went to Yummy Crawfish and Seafood. We weren’t sure if it’ll be good but since my usual place closed down I’ve been searching for a new one. They have great flavour but not spicy enough. We will definitely come back even though it’s a bit expensive. I love having the snow crabs but didn’t care much about the blue crabs.

June and I believe I might be allergic to crawfish since I never feel well after. Shrimp and snow crabs only might be what I’ll have to end up having if that’s the case. With sporadic crawfish feast … obviously.

I took a nap and talked to London before heading out the door for dinner with Nancy. I haven’t seen her in a couple years since Thuy’s wedding. We shared beef noodles, pork chop bake, and Hong Kong French toast. I was glad she loved it and it warmed my heart that the toast reminds her of her dad. He would be super proud of the woman she’s become.

The Hobby Center | Houston, Texas | A Chorus Line | Nancy

Her boss gave her free tickets to the play, A Chorus Line, since they couldn’t make it anymore. We had no clue what it was about and it ended to being so good. We can’t believe her boss paid $90 for each ticket!

Electric Feel-good | Houston, Texas | Nancy, Carmen, Adam

We got an Uber and meet up with Carmen and Adam at Electric Feelgood. We ordered drinks and took a lot of pictures and boomerangs before heading to other places to check out the scene.

It’s the latest I’ve stayed out for a long while and was happy that I got to go and enjoy a night out in downtown, something I always want to do once in a while.

I finished Love Alarm from Netflix since I wasn’t able to fall asleep until 5am. I ended up sleeping for a good two hours before waking up. Today has been relaxing. Sissy and BIL came over with lunch from Aji Ramen, watched the Texans game and bought thickets to the Astros game. Meal prep took only 20 minutes thanks to the instant pot. I need to look for more recipes!
