I just returned from a relaxing week on the beach in Cabo San Lucas with my gal pals Grace, Ellen, and Christine. (Poor Jason had to stay in NYC to go to work.) It was one of those vacations where you actually feel like you went on a vacation (as opposed to those where you need another one afterwards.) Rough life, I know.

My favorite activities: lying on a lounge chair by the pool, reading my books, floating in the ocean water. I LOVED the fact that you could step out of the pool (or the ocean) and there is no need to towel off because the warm air will dry you up without giving you the chills. Fantastic! Plus, I am now darker than Jason! (That's quite an accomplishment, given that Jason has a skin tone of either one of two colors - he's usually "dark" year-round, but in the summer he's "black.")

Thanks, girls, for a fahh-bu-lous week - I *heart* you. Let's do this again in 2007.
