Family Day in Waco, Texas

Uber Eats Breakfast Tacos

Sissy and I ordered breakfast tacos through Uber Eats while everyone ate kolaches Mum brought up from Houston.

George's Restaurant and Catering | Waco, Texas

After Emmy had her socializing class, we all headed to Waco. We had plans to check out Magnolia Table but due to the long wait, we headed to George’s Restaurant & Catering instead.

Dad and I shared our foods while Sissy and I shared our drink. The food wasn’t bad. I would opt out of getting the corn though. That was our least favourite.

Dr Pepper Museum | Waco, Texas

We then headed to the Dr Pepper Museum since Mum is their “biggest fan”. She even ordered it with her lunch, per usual. The museum, though small, was a bit fun. I liked that they had some interactive things for the viewers to take a part of.

Dr Pepper Museum | Waco, Texas | Complimentary Drink

We all got complimentary drinks. I went with the Sunkist. I drank a couple sips before Mum downed the rest.

Legends Thai Cuisine & Kung Fu Tea | Plano, Texas

We were going to stop by somewhere else too but decided to head back to Dallas. Sissy, SIL, and I played with Emmy while Brudda, Mum, and Dad went to Walmart and then picked up foods from Kung Fu Tea and Legends Thai Cuisine. This is one of the best Thai places I’ve had in America. It’s spicy and they give you so much for your buck!

[2018] 146/365: Game 6 Rockets vs Warriors

Though I’m extremely happy we had an amazing day with the family, my happiest was when I realized I finally get to watch the Rockets game. I haven’t been able to see any since I don’t have cable. Sadly, they are losing right now. Come on, Rockets, push on through!! Sigh …

Songkran Thai Grill | Sugar Land, Texas

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

Songkran Thai Grill | Sugar Land, Texas | Unlimited Dim Sum Menu

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.

[2018] 084/365: Rizzo Dozing Off

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!

Colsen Loves Spring Rolls

Pho Saigon | Katy, Texas | Egg Rolls and Beef Vermicelli

I met up for lunch with Ann and Colsen at Pho Saigon. Yummy eggrolls and vermicelli.

2018 | 074/365 | Pho Saigon | Katy, Texas | Ann & Colsen

[2018] 074/365: I Love Spring Rolls!

Colsen has grown SO much! He is a chunk. He seems to be in the grabbing phase and really tried hard to grab that spring roll. I cannot wait to see him when he’s more animated.

Pet Supplies Plus | Katy, Texas | Moo Cheeks, Plaque Gel, St.Patrick's Yogurt Covered Cookies, Chicken "Bagels", Cheeze Crackers

I stopped by Pet Supplies Plus to see what they have. They just opened and it was huge! I loved that they have some baked goodies where you can buy as much as you want (or as little). Scruffy came over with Luna so her along with Rizzo and Rocky seem to love everything so far!!

Thai Cottage | Houston, Texas | Wings of Paradise & Curry Noodles

We got a to-go order from Thai Cottage. The usual wings were shared with the others. The curry noodles, on the other hand, will be a couple more meals until I’ll be able to finish. I love having leftovers!

Now, it’s Chinese soap operas and then early bedtime. Bye!

Getting Fat On This Harry Potter Marathon

by Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

We started Harry Potter #6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, last night but Scruffy was falling asleep so we called it a night and finished it this morning while eating lunch.

Thai Cottage | Door Dash

We used our Door Dash credits and got Thai Cottage. Mmm …

2018 | 071/365 | Tea Time

[2018] 071/365: Tea and “Crumpets”

After many hours, I had tea, Scruffy, coffee, and shared a slice of Chinese chiffon cake.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

We ate our leftover Thai Cottage and started watching Harry Potter #7, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I.

I’m so excited for him to finish this marathon so we could get to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I don’t know if he’d wanna watch it though.

I Finally Got Scrabble in Scrabble!!!!!!

Dog Park with Soncco

Happy Chinese New Year! Year of the Dog. It just made sense to go to the dog park, right? We met up with Paola and Soncco this morning after I grabbed an iced coffee from Starbucks because I was T.I.R.E.D.

Luna and Rizzo Sleeping

After the dog park, I gave the pups a bath and here they are taking a mid-day nap. So freaking adorable.

Las Tarascas | Katy, Texas | Tacos

While they napped and I worked on my computer, Scruffy went to pick up some tacos for our late breakfast/lunch, from Las Tarascas. I used to go here a lot with Tony when we were at our old job. They are still delicious, but El Jarro Cafe still beats them by a lot.

Thai Cottage | Katy, Texas | Wings of Paradise and Curry Noodles

Later that night, we all went to Thai Cottage to celebrate the new year. I got the delicious Curry Noodles and shared two plates of Wings of Paradise.

Texas Mesquite Grill | Katy, Texas | Crawfish

Scruffy and I went to Texas Mesquite Grill so that he can have some beers. I saw crawfish on the menu and had to get, especially since I didn’t eat all my foods. Although this place isn’t seafood boil type of place, it was still delicious so much so that we I ordered another pound!

2018 | 047/365 | Scrabble in Scrabble

[2018] 047/365: Scrabble in Scrabble

We’re back home now, playing Scrabble and OH MY GOODNESS I cannot believe it! I finally got to use all my letters on a turn which means it’s a Scrabble which means I automatically get 50 points on top of whatever the original score is! I never knew that was a thing until I played Scrabble with Scruffy and his family.

He keeps telling me that the game is over after every turn we have but I want to see how high my score can really be since this NEVER happens to me!!
