post DC thoughts...

well as jess just filled you all in, DC was great. probably the best(read : crazy) 48 hours of our lives. but i wanted to recap on some unfinished pictures that i had left out previously. so here goes nothing.

here are the pics of our bikes that i had mentioned earlier:
as you can see, buki likes hanging out near the bikes.

also, we have mentioned on here before on what a task it can be to clean the dishes or make due with our rather small kitchen, accommodations, etc. so i thought i would show you how it goes when your oven range is super dirty:
and how it looks after the bear-cleaning:
today(monday) jess and i have off from work, it has been very nice to relax and take it easy. jess is making some sloppy joes with texture vegetable protein(tvp) that will be amazing, and i have been watching some law and order criminal intent. tomorrow, i plan on biking to work, and may even meet bonnie on my way to work one day so we can bike together.

in the next few months, we will be going pretty tight on our budget. we plan on going to galena in october, to our most favorite B&B. so we both will be practicing some extreme self control. no records, no pyrex, no mani/pedis, and not going out to eat much. it will be well worth it that's for SURE!
