Celebrating Rizzo’s Birthday with Floor Seats to the Rockets Game

October 4, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

First things first, Happy birthday, Rizzo! He is my little protector so I got him this security shirt a while back. The muscles make it even funnier. Also, Pet Supplies Plus gave him a free toy for his birthday!

To celebrate his birthday I went to the Rockets game. But not just any Rockets game. I was offered floor seats and I couldn’t pass them up!

Prisila and I started at the Truck Yard for a drink. They have some nice decor here and I’ll definitely want to come back. Jesse stopped by right as we were leaving but he came along with us.

We got hungry and knew it was smart to eat now than later at the stadium so we went next door to Rodeo Goat for some burgers and fries and some nice conversation.

Jesse was nice enough to drop us off while he went to park the trukt which we later found his wife had to pick him up due to truck issues. He missed the game. Such bummer. I’m glad he’s okay though.

We had a nice view smack in the middle of the court. I joked that I could smell their sweat and see the definition on their calves and biceps.

It was a dream sitting so close and brought me back to when I used to play. Those were the days. This group of gal and guys made it even better. Just a whole lot of silliness.

When’s the next one?

Being Fancy

Work went by like a breeze! I was so busy but I was looking forward to some fun time. Two of the ladies on our team are leaving and we had a small happy hour at the High and Dry Rum Bar to celebrate them. I went with the old fashioned since Scruffy likes that drink and it was all I know. It was actually pretty smooth and people were impressed that I ordered it. One of the girls ordered a fire drink! How cool is that?!

I’ve never been in this area downtown at night and it was like a dream. Lights, bright. Bars everywhere. This is exactly what I dreamed of as a little girl. Working downtown, walking down the streets late at night with some cool people. Reminds me of Hong Kong too.

A few of us decided to go to dinner. We were going to go to Bombay Pizza but as we walked we changed to being fancy ending up at Morton’s Steakhouse. I was shocked at the prices but I figure to just let it go and order a steak. Everything else was shared with others. Delicious food and amazing conversations.

It was nice to get out and meet others on the team as well. I learned so much about everyone. I usually stay tied to my desk so although dinner was costly, I’m happy I went.

Justin had a new hire today and nicely invited me to lunch with them. I gladly accepted since it’s not everyday I get to hang out with people above me.

We went to Bombay Pizza Express. I’ve heard of this place plenty of times being known for their pizza but I opted for the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. It was delicious but their sauce is too thin and watery for me to come back and get it again. If I do come back, I’ll try one of their pizzas.

Scruffy treated Jamie and I to dinner at Oba Japanese Cuisine. They have happy hour all day and was instructed to only order off that list. There were a lot of choices and soon enough we were full and happy.

They don’t have a license to sell alcohol yet so Scruffy ran next door for some sake.

Their salmon was killer though it’s nothing compared to Seattle. Regardless, it’s worth coming back soon.

Teahouse with Juhi

Sissy came over to see the parents and to have brunch. We ordered from The Maples, our first time trying it out and it was pretty decent. The only complaint I had were the potsto fries. I could have done without those. And I gave my toast to Mum. Scruffy said his burger wasn’t bad but will need to say mayo next time … Or buy a thing of mayo for my house. Haha

Scruffy and Luna left. Mum, Sissy, and June went shopping. Dad was watching telly while I updated my podcasts. Soon enough I was out the door to meet Juhi for our catch-up. She thought she had told me three thirty so I sat in my car for a good thirty minutes before she showed up.

I didn’t mind though because I finally got Tiffany Haddish’s audiobook, The Last Black Unicorn. I’ve been waiting for this especially since it’s read by her. I am loving it so far and have had a few giggles. She is so real and raw and it’s completely refreshing.

Soon Juhi was knocking on my window scaring me and we walked into Kim’s Teahouse, ordered our drinks and literally talked for four and a half hours. From work to boyfriends to future. It’s been a while since I’ve had a girl’s talk so it was pretty nice. I also realized matcha pudding is pretty good.

Since then I’ve done my laundry and meal prepped. I am pooped and excited to finally go to bed.
