Also jealous of Consuela!

To be fair, it was a gift certificate; I wouldn't have sprung for something that expensive by myself.

Now I'm home; I ate leftover pasta and a homemade Pisco sour, and now I'm watching "The American Experience: 1964", which is surprisingly good.

ita, I think Colin asks after the twins now because he has a little one of his own. Also, the St. Pats of him as the Maytag man was something else. For a twin update, things are going well. Grace is talking up a storm and, for the first time, talked about a friend at school without prompting. Noah is learning how to suck at baseball and not have fits.

earthquake again.

5.4 outside of La Habra.

That was a pleasantly rolly one.

I don't usually associate earthquake with pleasant....

Thanks y'all.

We are on the home stretch - should be pulling into home in about 2 hours. It has been a long wonderful vacation. And I have the weekend to "recover" (and contemplate the remaining unpacking to be done). Oh and I have a massage on Sunday!! Then real life starts again.

Consuela, I visited the Clairmont Spa once many years ago and it was the most luxurious spa experience I've ever had. Very pleasant memories.

Loki the Obnoxious managed to clear everything off the bedroom table, including the alarm clock. Then he started trying to knock/dig me out of bed. And at some point, shredded a roll of paper towels I stupidly left out. All before 6:30 am.

Pumpkin even got tired of his antics disturbing her sleep and left the bed to go sleep in the chair.

OMG, I slept terribly, and now (related) think I have to go into the office. I considered bringing my computer home last night, but I was going to dinner with a friend and decided not to. And I think it's really not worth doing stuff here with no Office. So the dentist and work, that's an exciting Saturday.

I'm going to be varnishing. And varnishing. And staining (deck set.)

After market and errands. Looks like the rain is pushing out, so I'll walk to market.
