it takes two

The kids are together - Baci and Charlotte - so they and I couldn't be happier. Except that they are getting very territorial with each of us, trying to claim each of us as his/hers. I'm happy with that because it makes me feel special.

Not much too new to report, except the exciting news that Kelley and Wayne are back from Thailand, very tan and inspiring much jealousy from me. Their pictures and stories are reminding me just how beautiful it is there and it makes my heart hurt to think how much I want to go back. But that's for another time. They've been settling back in to the western world, but are pretty confused because it's daytime there when it's nighttime here, and vice versa, so they are in a bit of a haze but I'm trying to snap them out of it and keep them hydrated with highly caffeinated coffee.

We're just wrapping things up here before we leave on Saturday, running important errands (like H&M - won't be seeing that for awhile once I get to Telluride) and doing everything we need to do before leaving. Plus it's Wayne's, my dad's and my grandma's birthday all today, tomorrow and the next day (lots of Geminis in the family) so we've got some celebrating to do.

Otherwise my time is spent watching the dogs compete with each other and go crazy. It's really quite entertaining. I do feel the need to evenly distribute my love to both of them though so neither gets upset. I'm codependent. What can I say.

Oh yes - and my sister is an exerciser so she's motivating me to work out, starting now. So yeah, that big new exercise plan I have been working on for the past few months? I guess that starts now. Great. Tomorrow we're off to a spin class, which I like, so that'll be ok I think.

Alrighty, everyone's asleep here (early birds/jet laggers in this house) so I guess I should start thinking of doing it too. Good night!
