Music | Perfect for Me by Ron Pope

by Leave a Comment

I know, I know. Two music posts in one week, what a crime. Mallory and I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Pope tonight where we had a short, private concert. We are currently waiting for him to get on stage for the main concert.

This song is an oldie from him but my favourite. I have a weird wish that the one I love will play and sing this just for me. Haha

I know all your secrets, and you know all of mine
You’re always there to hold me up when I’m losing my mind
I wish that I was stronger so that I had more to give
I’ll share everything I have and we’ll find a way to live

Music | Fingertips by Ryan O’Shaughnessy

This song popped up on my “Discover Weekly” on Spotify and right when I heard the chorus, my eyes started to well up. I haven’t been able to stop listening to it.

I fell for someone immensely and though he says he had feelings for me, his feelings for someone else was stronger. His choice was made.

I still don’t understand how someone could have feelings for more than one person, but I hope I never find out because though it was painful for me to go through, it sounds painful for him as well.

How sad, right? Understanding those that hurt us. Sometimes, feeling, and understanding and feeling others sucks.

You’ve got that heart of gold
You’ve got the sweetest soul
But I can’t seem to bring myself to kiss you
On your lips or touch your fingertips
Because my heart is set
On somebody else
I can’t bring myself to let you in.

Hinee Gourmet Coffee | San Antonio, Texas

FRIDAY | After a super long drive due to so many accidents on the way, I arrived at Hinee Gourmet Coffee shop drained. I loved seeing this, though. You can put a book down and get a new one to read. After about an hour, Patricia got off work and I headed over to her house where we caught up about life while she got ready.

FTK Alumni Dinner

Thuy, Me, Patricia

FTK was having an Alumni dinner and since I haven’t seen some people in a while (January) I figured I’d show up. I was happy to see some poopies I haven’t seen in forever, one being Andrew. I haven’t seen him in almost a year. I guess having distance away from someone you use to see and talk to every single day changes your point of view of that person. Seeing him and holding a conversation with him was a little weird. But he’s happier and knowing that is comfort enough in my little heart.

Pub Run St Patty's San Antonio, Texas | Hurricanes & Patricia

Me & Patricia

A few of them headed to Top Golf while the rest of us headed over to the Pub Run. This is only my second pub run and I must say that I’m over it. Sorry, Andy, if you’re ever reading this. I’m not about that life. haha

Pub Run St Patty's San Antonio, Texas | Friends

L: Andy, Me, Patricia, Jessica, Christina, Alyssa
R: Me & Andy

But I will say I do like being active for almost five hours. Walking and constant dancing. No one in Houston is down to go dancing with me so that was the main reason I went. Patricia bought me a hurricane and it did nothing to me. And it tasted like toilet water. It wasn’t good at all. Ugh … waste of money.

Pub Run St Patty's San Antonio, Texas | Kremlin

We ended at Kremlin where we danced non-stop. I had to take a picture of this because it was just too pretty.

SATURDAY | I planned to head home but they wanted to do brunch before I left. So …

Whiskey Cake | San Antonio, Texas | Benedict

Benedict [slow roasted pulled pork, local sunny side up eggs, toasted baguette, farmhouse tomato, smoked chili hollandaise, seasonal fruit] | $11

I liked the runniness of the eggs that covered the baguette to make it soft. The flavours were, meh, for me, so although I like the ambience, I don’t think I’d come back to order this dish again.

Whiskey Cake | San Antonio, Texas | Hand Cut Parmesan Fries

Hand Cut Parmesan Fries | ~$3

But I will come back to order like five orders of this, though. It was that good. I wanted to order some on the drive back, but I’m sure my friends would think I’m a fat ass, if they haven’t already.

Whiskey Cake | San Antonio, Texas | Mellie Dee

We started talking about trips again and we found some pretty cheap flights to Aruba around my birthday week so I got super excited. I don’t know if we’d actually end up going and if we do, who all is going with us but it would be pretty nice to go on a friends trip because I need one. If we don’t end up going, I’m probably going to go to Hawaii or something fancy with June. Either way, I’m going on a dang trip this year.

San Antonio to Houston Drive

The drive home wasn’t too bad. I actually made it in record time.

I felt pretty bad, though. Thirty to forty minutes into my drive, Jakob texts me and tells me he’s finally free. He was willing to drive to where I was if I wasn’t too gone but I said I’ll just see him when I see him which most likely will be in April.

And on the drive, I kept getting text messages. Andy had mass texted and emailed everyone that we were wanting to go to Aruba. haha Seems like things are flowing to a yes, but we’ll see. We’ll see.

Mellie Dee & Rizzo Cuddles

When I got home, I was so pooped. Rizzo climbed into bed with me and cuddled. We slept like that for a good hour plus. I love when he lays on me.

Cravin' Cajun Crawfish | Katy, Texas

I knew Dad was off so I made sure to come back to have dinner with the family. They let me pick which is a dumb choice because around this time of the year, I’ll always pick crawfish. And surprisingly, they let me get it!

The rest of the night I received text messages from San Antonians to see if I was down to hang out. I forgot to tell them I had already left. I usually stay until Sunday so they were quite bummed. Next time, my loves, next time.

Beer Tower | Sammy

Then it was drinking time with Sammy because that’s all we ever do. I was surprised he asked if I wanted a beer tower. I’ve always wanted to try a beer tower. I mean, I know it’s nothing fancy, but it’s still super cool. I can finally check that off my list! Our server was probably quietly judging us because Sammy says that this is usually for three to four people.

I snapped a picture of this and I got questions on, how do you even drink that? … Because they thought you drink it like you would with a beer bong. haha

Vero's Baby Shower

SUNDAY | I had a list of things I had to take care of but I was too lazy and tired. And by the time I realized what time it was, I had to get ready. Zuco was throwing Vero a surprise baby shower. And I was super excited for the food. I haven’t had great Mexican food in so long and I knew this was going to be the bomb dot com. (Yes people still say that.) I caught up with their family and played with Ryland and met new people.

Bruno Kato Rizzo Sleeping

Bruno, Kato, Rizzo

I took today off to finish my meal prepping that I started yesterday. And because I just didn’t want to deal with people after such a glorious weekend filled with my loves and cuddling with all the poopies.
