OH HEY. Unintentional 3-month blog hiatus is officially over. I can’t believe I used to take outdoor photos nearly every day, even in frigid weather, for years. Ah, to be young again.

Maybe it’s lack of interest, maybe it’s old(er) age, maybe it’s having a job that is much better suited to my skills than blogging and pays me enough that I don’t feel the need to blog for “shopping money” but… I feel zero guilt for not doing the blog thing all winter!

Then again, it was also kinda fun to go to the park with the ol’ DSLR and have Kristin yell weird things at me to make me smile and look less like a robot. (I think she nailed it, don’t you?) Speaking of Kristin, can you believe we’ve been a couple for 17 years today?! “How could that be? You’re so young!” “Relationship goals!” “Hottest couple ever!” Oh stop. You’re too kind.

I posted some slightly embarrassing very old photos of the two of us to my Instagram stories earlier today, and shortly after noticed a drop in followers. (My follower count doesn’t really move much, so it’s easy to notice when it changes.) It’s a pretty great strategy — if you’re wondering whether any of your social media followers are bigots, just post something a little queer and the problem takes care of itself!

Still Kickin’

YES I STILL HAVE A BLOG. No one noticed I haven’t posted for a month+ because no one reads this thing anymore. The great thing about being a hobby blogger is that I don’t have to care about traffic and bounce rates and click throughs. Every once in awhile if I’m wearing an outfit that makes me particularly happy, I bust out the fancy camera and snap some pictures. A week later I edit them, and another week (or more) later I get around to posting.

If you’re here, awesome. Thank you. Consider yourself part of a very small, elite club. Unfortunately there are no free gifts or other perks, just some medium- to high-quality content to scroll through when you’re bored or looking for style inspo.

If you read any other blogs (like real blogs that are more consistent than mine), shoot the blogger a nice comment and let them know you appreciate them. It takes more time and dedication than you might realize to keep up a blog in 2021!
