…and explain to me why “buffalo plaid” is called that. And while we’re at it, what’s a buffalo gal?

OK, I just looked it up. The song “Buffalo Gals” refers to girls from Buffalo, NY. That’s not as interesting as I was hoping. I thought maybe buffalo gals were women in the wild west who tamed and rode buffaloes and, like, solved crimes and engaged in other general badassery. Nope, just chicks from upstate New York. Boring.

Well I still don’t know where the term “buffalo plaid” comes from and Google didn’t help me fast enough. Whoever can give me the best made-up story explaining the origin of buffalo plaid gets a million meaningless points. Alternatively, you can just compliment me on my mad neutral print-mixing skills. Happy Friday!

I love it when we get a picture where the wind catches my hair.

Makes me feel like a white, talentless Beyonce.

This business casual outfit almost makes it look like I have a job, doesn’t it?! I appreciate your optimism, but sadly…still no job. This was actually an outfit I wore while I met with someone who does have a job and who gave me some advice on how to find one of my own. Yes, I’m networking. But I hate calling it “networking” because that word strikes fear in the hearts of introverts like myself. Luckily, this meeting was quite enjoyable and productive. Plus, I was having a great hair day, so…bonus points.

On another note, we took these photos in front of a WWII memorial. There wasn’t any special meaning behind my choice of background; it was just near where we had lunch and it blocked the harsh light. But my grandpa is a WWII vet, and his 95th birthday is this weekend, so I think it’s fitting. It’s not likely that he’ll spend his birthday reading my blog, but he’ll probably be hanging out, gardening, and being (somehow) healthier than I am.
