The World According to Shoehead

The most beautiful poem anyone ever wrote for me...

2015-09-03T17:36:00.000-05:00

Out of Nowhere
Kiza L.

He is mine
But more, I am his.
I was unaware of how I needed him.
Needed this.
A mysteriously interesting stranger
Older and more experienced at life and at love
Sensual and sexual
Handsome and strong
But vulnerable and somehow lost, looking for something or someone
Looking for a friend or even just an open mind to listen to his thoughts

A smile on his face that said to me, "I love"
"I love"
Not loving anything or anyone in particular...just, "I love"
I was addicted
How can "he love"...like that?
I want to be...what "he loves"
How can I be...what "he loves"?
Because I can see, from one picture...in his eyes...Oh, how he loves.

The first time he speaks to me, I feel...safe.
Held.
I feel confused by my immediate and almost un-worldly feelings for this stranger who "loves"
I submit almost immediately, because I felt I was supposed to.
I felt like submitting to this man, this mysteriously interesting stranger, sensual and sexual,
handsome and strong, who "loves"
Was my part of this new path I had started on, only a few weeks before he knew me.
A path I was put on to improve my self and know myself better
It was obvious then he was supposed to be a part of it

After only a short while, I became what "he loves"
And I loved him back
Without reason this feeling came over me, enveloping me
I love him
How?
It's beautiful and it's inexplicable but it's mine
He is mine
But more, I am his.
Out of nowhere.

Race Day!

2015-03-29T22:59:00.001-05:00

I entered the Austin 10/20 today—10 miles, 20 bands. I didn't think I could run the whole thing, so my friends and I walked.

My bib...

The starting line.

The bluebonnets were out!

The finish line!

Casa Shoehead is back in effect!

2015-03-21T11:12:00.001-05:00

I recently moved to a new place in North Austin, after almost two years in Georgetown. It was quite a stressful move, and I'm happy I can settle down and relax. I put up my "banner" yesterday. 😎👍

Banana Muffins and Joe Walsh

2015-03-21T11:11:00.001-05:00

Today is cold and rainy in Austin TX. I had a stressful dream that woke me up at 0630 and I couldn't get back to sleep. I decided that banana muffins would be the remedy. As I pulled them out of the oven, Joe Walsh came on the radio reminding me "Life's been good to me so far..." I realized God was speaking to me. Even though I don't have a Maserati that does 185, I do have a lot more than a lot of other people.

So, today I'm thankful for everything I have, including these $1.29 package banana muffins, and the fact that I can enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee; warm and dry in my own place with my two beautiful dogs. (They were pretty darn good muffins, too!)

Happy St Pat's

Green beer, y'all! 🍀

Happy March, everybody!

2015-03-01T11:39:00.001-06:00

This is how I started my day, and therefore, my March. I must say, we're off to a good start. 😊

These are pretty awesome...

I'm just sayin'...

Phase 1 of the move complete!

Bean soup!

2014-12-28T11:18:00.001-06:00

I made another soup for the cold weather. It came out decent. I panicked and added some extra water, because I thought I had too many beans. Now the soup is a bit thin and watery. I should've stuck with my instincts—two quarts, no more.

Happy Monday!

2014-10-13T12:09:00.001-05:00

Make it an awesome week!

Having a great day!

Good morning, Bocce!

Bocce peeking out from his blanket. Get up, Bocce!

Blue Hole is quite full after the storm

2014-10-12T17:23:00.001-05:00

Normally, the water level us 2-3 inches below the dam, and it can be crossed without getting your shoes wet. The waterfall on the side is about three times larger than normal. It looked quite impressive!

Haircut selfie!

My hair looks darker in the after, but that might just be the product she put in it. Though, my before does have a Clooney-esque quality to it, I think...

Happy Friday!
