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!

Full disclosure: I did not eat at the Garage Food Hall, but I was walking by while accidentally dressed like a fancy mechanic, and it was too great an opportunity to pass up.

I don’t have any plans for Halloween, but looking at these photos, I realize all I need is a red bandana and I’m ready to be Rosie the Riveter! Honestly I may do that, if only to channel that Rosie energy into my life (couldn’t hurt).
