st. andrew's-by-the-sea and me

St. Andrew's is treating us well. Actually, we're doing nothing here. And that is what is just so great. Isn't that what a holiday is about? The stress is finally seeping out and we're sleeping for hours, eating well, and loafing around. It is awesome. My lofty spiritual goals are now to be nice to my husband and have fun. Basic. Doable. Mostly.

The best thing about St. Andrew's is Kate. My best friend of almost 20 yrs. She is 8 months, 1 week pregnant. If you've never been around a pregnant woman that means she has officially had enough. Time to pop that thing already. She looks like she always has except like she's swallowed a basketball--or for those who don't know what Kate looked like pre-bun in the oven, she looks like a grown up starving kid. It's quite adorable. Photos coming soon. The care and presence of a good friend is one of the best things in life. I'll be sad to leave, which we are doing in one day. Off to Ireland for us.
