First things first…I took these shots in a different location than usual. Now there’s something you don’t see every day. How pathetically lazy am I? This fabulous covered bridge is like a mile from my house, but I never take pictures there. Hey, we never appreciate what we have, right? I took my daughter down there today to do her summer photos, so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and do my outfit shots too. But it was more like killing two bird size mosquitoes with a rocket launcher as opposed to a stone. Oh. My. God. The mosquitoes have formed gangs this year I tell you. Big scary gangs. And they have weapons. I swear they were wearing bandanas too. They are utterly horrifying. It must be something about the bizarro weather we’ve had this year because they truly are unusually large and aggressive. Yuck.
I remember when I was reeeaaallly little and this bridge was still open to traffic. Not really traffic I guess, because there is a regular bridge near it. But cars could drive over it. Sometimes when we were out, my dad would drive us across it and I would lay on the floor of the backseat (Yes, when I was little we didn’t do car seats or seat belts. It was the dark ages.) screaming in terror. It would creak and groan and felt like you were going to plunge into the river at any moment. Fine parenting right there, oh yeah. I guess maybe he was toughening me up for the real world. When I was in high school we used to party at the bridge on occasion. That was actually a lot more fun than driving across it in terror I must say. And by party I mean drink pop and eat chips. Umm…ya, that’s exactly how I remember it.
I’ve had these skinny cargo pants for years. They’re a trend that died off a while back and I just don’t care because I like ’em. I will continue to wear them as long as I like them. So there! I threw the plaid shirt on to keep warm as a mosquito attack defense because it was actually pretty cool out today. Funny thing is, if it was 68 degrees in March I’d be wearing a bikini and flip flops.
