Wow. am i tired. super tired, but feeling good. at the end of the day my bike odometer said 32 miles and paul's said 34. i think mine might not be working right. we went on a 5 hour sociological bike tour of madison, pretty neat. i feel like i have a better grasp of the city now and especially the bike trails.

this is a pretty exciting week. let me explain why:
*i received the circle journal
*Tomorrow (monday!) evening we're heading to milwaukie for the sufjan stevens concert. i am expecting greatness. and i've never been to milwaukie before, so even though we won't really spent much time there it'll be a neat drive.
*this week will most likely make it my 20th workday in a row that i've worn my "new" fhs sweatshirt to work (from home of course). what a great present from kate!
*we get to start unpacking. and i mean REALLY unpacking. even though we moved into the university apartments a month ago we only unpacked essentials (like bed, tv, 5 tshirts, bikes, and kitchen stuff). but since we're moving this weekend to a 5 year settlement destination then we'll unpack for real.
*i am actually going to use our crockpot
*i am actually going to apply to jobs. right? right!
*we get to start painting. lots and lots of painting (at least 3 rooms). and i like painting. although i'm sure my arm muscles will yell at me immediately, since they haven't been used in years.
*the new season of The Office has started. the first episode was hilarious and soo so disturbing/uncomfortable.
and, most importantly:
*we are closing on our house this friday! we will offically be homeowners. how exciting and also crazy is that?! yikes.
