Happy Hour with Data Scientists

The Moonshiners Southern Table + Bar | Houston, Texas | Old Fashioned & Lavender Mule

Earlier in the week, Salim invited me to happy hour at The Moonshiners Southern Table + Bar with the data scientists from our old company. I’ve always wanted to try this place and although I didn’t end up getting food, I would love to come back and try. Shown is my Old Fashioned and Salim’s Lavender Mule.

I met new people and also saw people I haven’t seen since we left the company. Although they are all super smart and I get lost in their conversations, it’s nice to hear them talk. The best feeling is understanding certain parts they talk about! I get more motivated to be better with them around.

Salim, John, Ejie (?) and I decided to get pho from The Conservatory. Much more wonderful conversations before Salim walked me to where my Uber was going to meet me after a homeless man tried to swindle us out of money when we were all outside on the streets talking.

My Uber driver was pretty awesome. She’s a police officer, private investigator, and bodyguard. If you ever met her, you’d never guess. She was also nice enough to watch me walk into the house versus just leaving.

It’s finally the weekend. Two more days of work and then it’s finally a vacation. Hallelujah.

Finally A Snorlax

The day started out with swimming at the neighborhood pool. Joanna, Katie, Jasmine and Katrina all came over as well. All I did was dunk my feet in and watch the little ones go crazy.

Afterward we ordered some pho and I ate while watching some TVB. I couldn’t even make a dent in it since I haven’t been feeling so well this trip.

Dinner consisted of hot pot at Squares Hot Pot which isn’t such a bad deal. We tend to overeat when it’s all you can eat. Can you believe we are all full and it costs less than if we did all you can eat? Crazy!

[2018] 245/365: Pokemon Go Snorlax

On the way home I caught a Snorlax. SNORLAX! I’ve been wanting one since the beginning of time when I first started playing. I feel so accomplished now. I don’t know if I should even continue.

Time to cuddle with ~~Snorlax~~ Rizzo and fall asleep. This girl is tired and need all the rest she needs to fight whatever this is.

Diablo Makes A Comeback

Lunch at The Pho Shack in Katy with June and Scruffy. This one does not compare to the original location. Soup though good wasn’t as great as the original. The eggrolls though filled with a lot didn’t have much flavour. The bean sprouts plate looked sad for two which let’s be real, looks like one serving. They’re cheaping out. Pho Saigon is still my go to. I’ll give it a month or so before coming back but they still have a lot to learn.

We went to Fiesta afterward so that I could buy a aloe vera stalkwe stopped my Zero Degrees for some drinks. I got the coffee horchata which Scruffy liked and the matcha milk tea, my favourite. I’m not too sure what June got but she said it was delicious as well. We agreed everything was overly sweet and if we ever came back we need to let them know to add less sugar.

We watched A Wrinkle In Time, played Diablo, and watched Up In The Air. It’s been a very cool Saturday which is exactly what I needed.

Now to shower and do my fresh aloe mask. Can I have my friends come and live near me so I can have facial nights and watch telly and sleepover?

Day of Deliciousness

Scruffy, Ashy and I went over to Gordon’s to check out his house. We were out there for over an hour and our sweat was beading. We finally went and dropped Ashy off and picked up The Pho Shack for lunch at Grandma’s and Kenny’s where Sissy and BIL met us.

Afterward Scruffy and I picked up Rizzo and headed to Fulbrook Ale Works where Sissy and BIL were already waiting. This used to be Texian Brewery which got bought out. Thank goodness because it was nasty. These beers are so much better.

After using majority of our tokens we hauled ass back to Scruffy’s because we were sweating like no other at the place. We played some board games before bidding them farewell.

[2018] 209/365: Indian Vegetarian Buffet

Scruffy played video games while I opted for a nap before waking up to head to Maharaja Bhog for a vegetarian Indian buffet. We’ve never been here but I’ve always wanted to try this style since I was a kid seeing it on the telly.

It was a fun experience and we were surprised we both liked it. Now that we’ve tried everything there we know exactly what we liked and disliked which will make it easier for us in the future if we ever decide to come back.

We are back at his house now and he’ll most likely play some games with Blake while I shower, relax and watch my shows before bed.

Me, Myself, and Kindle

After work I ran MANY errands. I haven’t had so much time to myself in such a long time. But truthfully, once I’m out, I rather stay out because once I’m home, I never want to leave. I picked up a Wetzel Pretzel Jalapeno Dog once I got to the mall. I’ve always wanted to get one and eat it while I shopped and I finally did. Someone, please tell me where I can buy a bulk of that dog. It was SO juicy and delicious.

[2018] 194/365: Alone Time with My Kindle

After my errands and shopping, my stomach was ready for a full meal. It’s been a while since I sat down in a public place, ate and read a book because I’m all alone. I actually enjoy it a lot. I went through one and a half chapters. So so nice and I had a lot leftover, per usual when I eat pho.

Later in the evening, Scruffy and I went to Churrasco’s. He just got some dental work done so he had to opt for soup. Luckily his other side worked and he was able to chew on some of my meal and more. I have so much leftover as well. Now I have two meals to finish.

Tomorrow’s going to be a long day but I’m excited to see little Peyton!
