2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | WWE Monday Night Raw

October 31, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | Mallory & Mellie Dee | WWE Monday Night Raw

Started off the week celebrating Mallory’s birthday early by going to WWE Monday Night Raw. It’s been on my list since I was a kid watching it with Brudda.

The ladders and tables made the show the best. It does suck you don’t hear them talk if they don’t have a mic and you don’t hear the announcer either. And the sound effects of them getting slammed against the floor is fake and sometimes they forget to press the button.

But overall it was an experience and I wouldn’t mind going again.

2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | PPDM Expo

I went to the second day of the PPDM Expo. I missed Monday’s because I was up all night for to stomach issues. FYI, I know.

But it was nice to see some with people again and listen to some presentations. The food was real good and can’t say no to free stuff.

2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | Beth's Meatball and Spaghetti, Halloween Nails

Thursday after work I went over to Beth’s for dinner spaghetti and meatballs. I mostly went to pick up some nail stuff I bought (exhibit Halloween nails) and ended up taking to get and Scott for hours. Connor has grown so much and so smiley practically all the time.

2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | Good Eats

Just since eats and drinks from the week. Tried it a new Mexican place and it was good. They even have Fideo but not as good as Patricia’s.

2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | Loch Bar | Houston, Texas | Frankenstein & Mellie Dee

Saturday night, I met up with Frankenstein at Loch Bar. Or second time here and we went crazy and ordered a lot of stuff.

  • Bread – free, crispy exterior but super fluffy interior
  • 3 different kinds of oysters:
    • sweet petite (my favourite),
    • raspberry point (his favourite),
    • queen cup (server’s favourite haha)
  • Oysters Rockefeller – to much cheese. We both loved the raw better.
  • Chesapeake Crab Dip – worth it. They give you so many chunks of crab and you can trade the crab as of you were eating it right out of the shell. Love the carrots and celery to dip than the bread.
  • Rye Whiskey Flight – I believe it was the manager that came and gave us an extra whiskey, the Jefferson, to try. That ended up to be one of the favourites for the both of us as well as the Sagamore for me.
  • Seafood Diavalo Pasta – so good and they give you a great deal of seafood that isn’t all chopped up.

We watched the Astros game while we were there and since we were up, we decided to leave and walk around. We were in the River Oaks area so we walked around and looked through the windows pretty much laughing at the clothes.

I finally found the place that makes ice cream look like a rose. He asked if I wanted to get one but I was too full. Maybe next time.

we passed by an art gallery and joked about wanting a very expensive piece where the words make up people which is made from splotches of paint. It was so cool.

When I got home I found out Astros lost. Sigh, sad day but a great date night.

2021 | Week 85 of Quarantine | Sissy's Birthday

Today’s Sissy’s birthday. They landed from their trip and came over to pick up the pups and celebrate. We ordered food from Thai Cuisine and Ramen King, opened presents and ate Oreo cake. We then all spent time sitting outside and just talking.

It’s been a very quick and fun week filled with people with a lot of relaxation. I think I’m still trying to make up being out so late for the bachelorette that this weekend’s naps were amazing.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms, Jacob’s Birthday & Pumpkin Carving

October 17, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Ethan & Rizzo

So much Ethan time this week. He spent a lot of time with me while I was working. Majority of the time he’s good but he also needs so much attention. He understands so much Chinese now it’s crazy. Sad he’ll probably lose if when he goes back home.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Manicure & Pedicure, La Baguette | Katy, Texas

I was off Friday and got to go out and have some alone time. Manicure and pedicure, ready for bachelorette party! Then brunch at La Baguette. Took home some leftovers for June since I know she loves it.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Ethan, Mellie Dee, JJ

Later that day, Ethan and I met up with Mallory, JJ, Jacob, Beth and Connor at Dewberry Farms. Ethan sat and ate chicken nuggets while we did the gemstone mining. He got a giant purple rock which he kept trying to eat. Haha I think he knows now it’s not food.

We looked at some live animals which he called all of them dogs in Chinese. JJ got to pet and feed the goats. And then we went and picked some flowers.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Ethan, Mellie Dee, Beth, Connor

A train ride, smelling the Christmas trees that were growing and then pumpkin patch photos thanks to Beth. Mallory and her kids left and Beth and I decided to walk around and got pink lemonade. I also got corn in a cup while she ate her sandwich and before we left, we went into the gift shop and bought matching tshirts.

Oh what a day. I was SO pooped.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Ethan, Cemetery, Urban American Kitchen | Houston, Texas

Saturday morning, we met Cindy and Kenny at the cemetery. I believe it was Ethan’s first time. He had fun walking in the back while we waited for the incense to burn all the way down.

Then it was lunch at Urban American Kitchen. So glad they were okay not driving all the way to Bellaire for Asian food since I was on a time crunch. It was nice to eat out with them again after so so so long.

Ethan didnt get to nap much since he decided screaming on top of his lungs was much better.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Dewberry Farms | Jacob's Birthday Party | Ethan, Mellie Dee, Mallory, Beth, Connor

I got him dressed and ready for Jacob’s birthday party. Mallory hired a person that does songs and storytime. Ethan was much more interested in eating popcorn. She also had an activity to make pumpkins and after playing some games, everyone got to pick a mini toy out of the treasure chest. The party favour was getting to choose a book from all the books the lady wrote. She personalized and signed them too which was pretty awesome.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Nam Thai | Kemah, Texas | Frankenstein and Artemis

After the party, I headed off to Frankenstein’s. We went to Randall’s for some pumpkins and ingredients for brownies, picked up food from Nam Thai, and Target for some pumpkin carving tools.

We enjoyed our Thai food while deciding on what design to do. We saw Artemis sniffing the pumpkins which was super cute. It’s her time of month to shine!

While I was still looking at what design to make, he made brownies from scratch! I offered to help but he did amazing all by himself. It’s perfect that I only like the edge pieces and he likes the middle.

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Pumpkin Carving & SNL | Frankenstein, Artemis & Mellie Dee

The weather was so nice out, we decided to carve pumpkins sitting on the balcony, with the door open and tv swiveled so that we could watch episodes of SNL at the same time.

Artemis’ first cold night. She explored a lot while we did our carving and at times stared at us. She’s so cute! Can you guess who did which pumpkin?

2021 | Week 83 of Quarantine | Rustika Cafe Bakery | League, City | Frankenstein & Artemis | Drone

Today, we went to breakfast at Rustika Cafe Bakery. Their food is great but their Vietnamese coffee could have been better. It just tasted like an iced coffee. Bummer.

We went back where I relaxed on the balcony a bit, mostly watching Artemis explore some more. Then Frankenstein showed me the drone he built before we had met. This guy has so much passion in learning a little (or a lot) about everything. I am always surprised by the knowledge he has in his head.

The weekend is already over. Thankfully it’s a short werk. Hello, bachelorette.

2021 | Week 81 of Quarantine

October 3, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 81 of Quarantine | District 7 | Houston, Texas | Frankenstein & Mellie Dee

Met up with Frankenstein at District 7 after his labs and my training. Old fashioned, mimosa flight, east and gulf oysters, osso bucco, and zucchini chips. Time with him is just a whole lot of discussions about such random things. P.S. the mimosa flight wasn’t as I expected but that old fashioned was bomb.

2021 | Week 81 of Quarantine | Tandoori Grill | Katy, Texas | Buffet with Jenny, Bridal, SIL | Tea Top | Ethan

Saturday, Bridal, SIL, Ethan, Emmy and Jenny came down. We were able to spend the whole Saturday together. We started at doing a late lunch at Tandoori Grill. They have a lunch buffet on weekends and for $14 a person, I think it’s pretty worth it.

We then walked around Best Buy and Target. We then made our way to Starbucks to get their friend who works down the street some coffee. Sadly they were already off work. So we gave them to the receptionists and headed to Tea Top.

The rest of the night was used to plan out the bachelorette party and looking at outfits.

2021 | Week 81 of Quarantine | Nails, Spaghetti Squash and Chicken Pesto, Ethan

Today they all left to go to a baby shower. Ethan is staying with us for a few weeks before I go to the bachelorette.

I did my nails twice since works been a little boring. And I was able to meal prep last week, spaghetti squash, sauteed vegetables, and chicken pesto for dinner practically every night. So good.

Hoping for a chill week. Fingers crossed.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Jenny’s Bridal Shower

September 26, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Beagle Puzzle, Nails, Sushi Block Legos

Work week was pretty easy since our company got some crazy news. I was able to do my nails, finish the Beagle puzzle and built the sushi block Lego that Frankenstein and I won from Kura.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Poor Richard's Cafe | Frankenstein | Lomonte's Italian Restaurant | Houston, Texas

Frankenstein was off Thursday so we were able to have a romantic date night at Lomonte’s. The weather was nice out so we sat on the deck listening to the live music performance and talked about so many different topics. We both got a chicken dish that came with a side of pasta. The food was pretty good and the ambience of the area reminded us of Austin.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Poor Richard's Cafe | Road trip To Dallas | Rosanna's Birthday, Ethan, Rizzo, Mellie Dee, June & Emmy | Bols Rice and Ramen

Friday after work, we drove to Dallas. Upon arriving, we celebrated Rosanna’s birthday, ate dinner from Bols Rice and Ramen and played with Emmy. I was pooped after.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Poor Richard's Cafe | Plano, Texas | Emmy & Mellie Dee Storytime

Saturday morning I took the parents, June and the kids to Poor Richard’s Cafe for breakfast. This is our first time and we all ended up liking it. The kids even ate a lot which was surprising … for Emmy.

I drove them all around to run some errands for Jenny’s Bridal Shower and then went back to the house where I read Emmy some stories before we all took a nap.

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Jenny's Bridal Shower

We went and picked up the cake and headed to the clubhouse to set up for Jenny’s Bridal Shower. We took pictures, ate, and played some games. Oh and shots were had. Good times all around. And it was like a mini reunion. Next up, bachelorette!

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | BBQ Chicken and Happy Lemon

We got home and showered before SIL and I went to pick up dinner of BBQ Chicken and Happy Lemon. Korean fried chicken always hits the spot!

2021 | Week 80 of Quarantine | Bucees Keto Eggs, Stardew, Salmon Sushi Rice

We left for home super early. I am running on 2 hours of sleep today! Had breakfast of keto sausage egg and cheese from Bucees on the way. Then it was grocery shopping. After everything settled down, I got online and played some Stardew Valley with Sissy and BIL then made dinner of salmon sushi rice.

Back to work tomorrow but luckily it’s my Friday off. Last free weekend before Ethan comes back down again. What should I do? Sleep sounds nice.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine

September 19, 2021 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Ethan & Rizzo

One of the days I was working, I looked down and saw Ethan chilling in Rizzo’s bed together. I was surprised Rizzo didn’t yell at him for it. It was actually pretty sweet. Rizzo even gave him kisses and Ethan as over the moon because he’s been trying to get Rizzo to do that the whole time he’s been here. He’s scared of Rizzo but also want him near him ALL the time. Even when Ethan is watching me puzzle.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Frankenstein | Gen Korean BBQ House | Houston, Texas | Inspiration 4 Launch

On Wednesday, Frankenstein and I met downtown at Gen Korean BBQ House for a dinner date. It was his first time and he loved it because it’s meat, duh. This is probably the most I’ve ever seen him eat. He probably went into a food coma after. We ordered a 32 carafe of Mango Soju but it looked and smelled like Pine sol. I wasn’t a fan of the flavour, he didn’t hate it, so he drank majority of it.

It was also the day of the Inspiration 4 launch so we watched part of that as well. It was pretty neat to see how the team came about, helping St. Jude’s Hospital. He also has not been annoyed with all my ignorance and questions. Our waiter told us a few tables down, another couple was watching the same thing.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Ethan & Jacob Play Date

Friday I took Ethan on his playdate to Mallory’s. He played with Jacob for a little bit but mostly he just did his own thing. We ordered habachi food, I got a kids meal for Ethan, and all of our stuff did not come with rice. SO weird. Luckily, we were reimbursed a few bucks to cover it and more.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Frankenstein & Mellie Dee | Kura & Houston Axe Throwing | Katy, Texas

Later that night, Frankenstein and I met up for dinner at Kura. We got a little toy for hitting our 15 plates and after recording a video, I made him stage a picture which he played along with but I’m sure he hated.

We then went on to Houston Axe Throwing. I was doing fairly well in the beginning but he started to find his momentum and of course, he beat me by a landslide. We payed a few dollars extra to do knife throwing at the end and same thing happened. I suck. I can’t save you. He was able to get some 6s for both tools. Ugh.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Macaroni Soup, Hot Pot, Beef Rice, Seafood Boil

Great foods for the week. Due to the hurricane, Mum stayed home and she made us macaroni soup, one of my favourites. We also had Vietnamese beef and rice, hot pot, and seafood boil. It’s been a good week for food. But it’s also time to get back to my workouts.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Stardew with Sissy & BIL } Purple Neon Nails

I did my nails during a meeting. I thought it’d be more neon but it came out well. I even got to play a game of Stardew Valley with Sissy and BIL.

2021 | Week 79 of Quarantine | Ethan & Brudda

Ethan looked at magazines and would point at all the food. Definitely our blood. I got him a baby shark with a little sound thing that replays the song over and over again. He is IN LOVE with it. Sadly, he went home today. I drove halfway to meet Brudda. Less than a week before I see him again though!

A week full of Ethan and Frankenstein this week and I don’t mind it at all.
