Now you'll never Know

I was going to post a picture of my "I voted" sticker, but I may have misplaced it.  Oh well, it's been a long day.

Art

On Saturday Kelli and I went to the National Gallery after eating the election burgers at Good Stuff Eatery.

Guess what?  The Mary Matalin won.  The James Carville?  Just had this odd "fried" taste to it.

I've found that the best time of the year to hit up the Smithsonians in DC is Saturdays in the late fall and winter.  We were headed to the Roy Lichtenstein retrospective at the National Gallery.  However, I'm pretty sure we went to the West building first so we could ride through the lighted walk-way.
The Lichtenstein exhibit was interesting.  I'm still not quite sure what to think of his art..but I like the fact that his made me question what is art...just like Warhol's work does at times.

One of the Lichtensteins we saw. 

Cheesy

So, I've read that making Mozzarella cheese is really easy to do.  At first, I couldn't figure out why I would want to make cheese...but I kept thinking it might be kind of fun.  Well, it's easy to do and takes about 1/2 hour.  I was sure my first batch would fail or not turn out well (that's what I read), but mine is edible and not bad at all.

Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

Pumpkin..

I first saw this idea on Martha Stewart's website a few years ago.  This year I decided to gather the supplies and make my own little undead pumpkins.  Here's two of the three little pumpkins I carved.  

The Election

So, I've been so ready for this election to be over that I've been looking ahead to the Inauguration.   Will the weather be cold?  Will there be a concert a few days before?  You know, the important questions.

Hallo-Hurrication

So, we never lost power during Hurricane Sandy.  The lights did flicker once when a transformer blew, but it wasn't our apartment building's transformer.  That being said, I've heard many people in DC say, "we are so lucky."  Everyone is thinking about those up north who bore the brunt of the storm and wondering what can be done to help.

Last night I walked through the neighborhood to watch the little kids trick-or-treat.  There were less people out this year, and some people didn't bother to put the Halloween decorations back up, but it was still fun watching the kids and seeing the houses.  

Oh Hello. Again.

So, I'm back. Maybe.  Anyway, as my last post stated, I've been sick since the second week of August.  I had a window of healthiness of about 10 days where I was able to ride the 2012 Seagull (Metric) Century and chauffeur my parents around New England.

However, my dad was starting to get sick during that trip and shared his cold with me too.  Luckily, I had a doctor's appointment the following week. Turns out I do have a deviated septum which is partially why I keep getting sinus infection after sinus infection.

Now after my second round of antibiotics in less than two months, I'm feeling better and can start thinking about important things, like what I want to post on this blog and how to stay healthy so I can have outpatient sinus surgery sometime in the next couple of months.
