2nd Anniversary Presents

March 30, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Jarro Cafe lunch with the love after he dropped Luna off at my house. We’ve missed this truck so much now that we both don’t work by. Best tacos in town if you haven’t been!

[2018] 089/365: 2nd Anniversary

Scruffy and I decided to open our two year anniversary presents. I love how the wrapping paper kind in away goes with Panda. Thoughtful. <3

I’m excited for my scratch offs. He taped a penny he found to the card. He found it after he bought the scratch offs so he believes it’s the winning penny.

I decided to go the five senses route.

And it was a hit! He didn’t even know Rebelution’s newest cd was on pre-sale so he was super surprised.

We went to Yassin’s for a crawfish boil. They know how to host a boil. Over 160 pounds for about 25 people … and that’s without counting the corn, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, sausage, and onions.

They also had the cutest lab named Bella. I wanted to trade her for Luna but no one wanted to take her. Haha I’m joking though cuz I can never trade Luna.

Look how big their pot was!!

His uncle made his own garlic butter concoction that was a hot. A bit on the salty side for me but not bad!

We stayed out late and partied with his crazy friends before heading back home to chill with my parents for a bit.

I’m ready to for bed. Good night y’all!

An 8-Hour Interview

March 29, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I started off the day eating my leftovers for breakfast before leaving for my interview at 9 am. This was the longest, brain powered interview I’ve ever had. We ended at 4:45 pm! How crazy is that?! Have you ever heard of an 8 hour interview, because that was the first for me!

[2018] 088/365: Interview Lunch

They did give me a swag bag in the beginning for showing up, validated my $40 parking, and took me out for lunch at Azuma. For being downtown and the price, I would have hoped for a better chicken katsu. It was a bit on the dry side but with the amount they gave, I had enough for another meal so I cannot complain much.

After all of that, even if I didn’t get the job, it was nice to have met so many smart people. It’s been a while since I’ve had conversations for eight hours straight but now, I have a headache so time to relax and forget about the interview! Peace out, world!

Beating the Traffic

March 28, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

This morning Joanna, Jasmine, and Katie came over to play with Rocky and Rizzo. After they left, I decided to head to Kim’s Tea house for lunch and I brought along my laptop to work on some coding exercises while chowing down.

[2018] 087/365: Pho Goodness

I’m currently at Sissy and BIL’s, spending the night since I have things to do in the morning and it feels good not having to sit in traffic.

It took us a good hour to figure out where we were going to order food from then another hour for it to be delivered so at the end it was the best pho I had in forever. Obviously, everyone knows that there are better places but we make do.

Sleepy bed time. Night, y’all!

Songkran Thai Grill | Sugar Land, Texas

Scruffy and I started out the day at Andrew’s then late lunch at Songkran Thai Grill.

We were going to order entrees until we saw the menu for all-you-can-eat dim sum, Thai style, for $14.95 per person.

We over ordered and are all stuffed to the brim. Their green beans and coconut green curry chicken were the most outstanding dishes.

I went home with Rizzo afterwards. This is him getting shut eye while sitting up in his booster car seat.

After much bouncing around he decided this was the best route for his head. Too funny.

The internet is out at my house so it’s all old school DVDs. Currently watching a Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie then maybe restart One Tree Hill. Hmm … Good night everyone!

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar | Sugar Land, Texas

March 24, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Scruffy and I had lunch at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar.

They are so high tech. Touchscreens, conveyor belts, dish counting, etc. The germaphobe in me wonders if anyone touches but doesn’t grab the dish but the germaphobe in me is also happy that they are all covered.

Some of the dishes we got. The black dish was not on the conveyer belt. Special ordered. Also, if you wanted any green plate ones made just for you, you could order on the touchscreen as well.

After fifteen green dishes went into the dish counting system, the touchscreen contraption sounded and out popped a prize.

What a great idea! Especially for little kids. I got little sushi stickers which are super adorable. I’m going to use this in my planner to commemorate this day. Best. Date. Ever.

Afterward, we went home and grabbed all three pups, Rizzo, Luna, and Miles. I made Rizzo have a fast photoshoot. How adorable is he?!

[2018] 083/365: Rizzo Attacks At The Dog Park

Maybe not so adorable after seeing this picture. I promise, no one got hurt! This is how he plays, teeth and all. I love how the little pit bull pup looks. Kinda like, “Um, hey, you’re overreacting.”

When we got back, we saw this squirrel sitting like this for a good two minutes in the driveway staring back at us.

After bathing all the dogs, and taking showers ourselves, Scruffy relaxed with some video games and I relaxed with some online Python classes. Then Andrew came over, we ordered Pizza Hut delivery, and have been sitting on the couch watching telly since.

We lead an interesting life, I know. I’m ready for bed, but first, more Python learning/telly watching.
