After my train trip, I kept meaning to change the title of this blog to something more relevant. But I'm still doing lots of traveling, so I think I'll keep it. I was in New York City this weekend with my extended family celebrating my Grandma's birthday. It was just a short trip- we spent less than 24 hours all together in NYC. The highlight was definitely hanging out with my sister late Saturday night in Times Square. We walked around, went on the ferris wheel in the Toys R Us store, and got my dad a purple "I <3 NY" shirt. I also put really fabulous blue eyeliner and eyeshadow on my sister. The lowlight was my lack of sleep, although this is almost a positive, as it meant that I slept through the entire drive back to Boston. I'm also doing more traveling later this week to Providence, RI and visit a friend there.
In other news, the class I was taking on being actively anti-racist at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education ended. I'm sad to see it end (it was far too short) but I think I'm going to join the alumni group that meets weekly. It had good content, and definitely provided me with the kick-start I needed, although I wasn't as invested in it as I planned to be, and not knowing the other people in the class and their personal histories made it harder to connect.
I've also been getting really into making bread lately (which is good, because it's replacing my interest in making cupcakes.) I've mostly been making challah and whole wheat oat bread with various dried fruits. I've been using my bread machine, which I bought off Craigslist for $20, and I'm pretty much in love with it.
