On January 1, 2019, I began consciously making at least one photo a day with intention. This is both a record of those photos and a personal visual journal. Images will be published here at any hour of the day, so come back often to see what’s new.
This keeps happening. I fall into a rut with posting here and end up dumping half a month all at once. Should I switch to a bi-monthly schedule? Should I just do one big post 12 times a year? Or should I simply get my act together and do what I used to?
To sum up the back half of February, lots of painting, house and work projects, and event work. It was a slower month than the last few, and honestly, I needed it.
I love all Cincinnati chili and don’t subscribe to the “Skyline is the only good one and everything else is an affront to God” thing half of Cincinnati pretends to believe. Honestly, when someone says Gold Star is trash and Skyline is amazing, I know their opinion can be disregarded; they need attention more than a coney.
Neither Ashley nor I celebrate Valentine’s Day, especially now that Ashley’s work is so centered around it. Going to a nice restaurant on Valentine’s Day is a headache, so we normally find something alternative to do every year, if we even remember to do anything at all.
This year, we decided to go to a neighborhood chili parlor figuring it wouldn’t be busy. We debated a few options before landing on Empress—the oldest still-operating of the brands with only one location left in Alexandria.
The photo sums up the decor perfectly. It looks like an old Taco Bell inside, the food is delicious, and we got out of there having spent $30 total. Definitely headed back sooner than later.
