So it has been a while since I had time to write a blog post, but I’m doing it now. So that counts for something.

This weekend I visited the Air and Space Museum, with the space shuttle! I also discovered two new types of food that I really like. This Friday, I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant for the first time. Today, I went to an event where I tried Pupusa for the first time. Both foods are fantastic! I’d love to eat that type of food more often. I’ll try and integrate both types of food into my diet now.

Hello. This is the first time in a while that I’ve felt as though I had time to write out a blog post. That feeling may have been wrong, but I think that I’ll need to have more time to myself before that changes. When I say that, I mean that I don’t have very much time to spend doing things that I enjoy when I get home from work. This results in me feeling that nearly everything that else that I do is a chore.

I’ve noticed that I only seem to focus on the negative things that happen to me. I haven’t actually contributed much to this blog but, so far, complaining seems to be a prominent theme. In order to try and change this, I’m going to talk about some things that I did since my last blog post that I enjoyed doing.

On Memorial Day, I attended the Memorial Day Parade that DC has. I did enjoy it; however, no one was throwing any candy. So that was a little bit disappointing. This past weekend, I went into DC and visited a several museums. It was the annual DC gallery walk. If you don’t know what this is, it is a weekend where museums that are not on the national mall (and usually have an entrance fee) host an event where entrance fees are waived. This was exciting for me because I didn’t know that the museums existed and probably would have avoided them if I knew I had to pay to get in. I visited: The Heurich House Museum, Anderson House-The Society of the Cincinnati, and The Philips Collection. Of those three, The Phillips Collection was definitely my favorite. It was a modern art museum that had quite a few paintings that I liked. My favorite part of this collection was the Rothko room. Mark Rothko is one of my favorite artists and I am extremely happy that I got to see a room created for, and filled with, his paintings. If it is not too expensive, I may go back to the museum to visit that room. I also got a new cookbook called The Food Lab and I am looking forward to trying new recipes in it.

I would like to write more; however, it is time for me to go to sleep. I’ll try and write more this weekend, or try to manage my time in a way that allows me to write more.
