Both literally and figuratively. Literally meaning just back from St. Barts on the weekend. What a lovely, quaint, cute, french island. Everything that Anguilla isn't in terms of people (mostly white, French), and attitude, (mostly friendly and down to earth). Of course, more snorkeling, frolicking and generally just acting like a crumb. :) Okay, now to the figuratively part. Those that know me, know I had been in a funk for about 8 months. Cafe opening, relationship stuff, shitty economy, general malaise I guess. Well, the trip to the states helped me immensely. Thank you to all that helped me through the hard times. It must show in my face and attitude because so many people have commented on how different I look. (Younger?) One even asked if I had had a face lift. OMG!! So I got back at her and suggested maybe she had had a boob job!! Touche'. Seriously, the dark cloud that has been me is gone and I am my old self. Smiling, laughing, and living life again.
On the celebrity front, Chris Webber was in with his fiance the other day. What a great guy. Does a lot of great community service. Stud basketball player in the NBA but maybe best known for calling the infamous timeout. Of which there were none left. Shit, I hate when that happens.
Off to the states for mi madre's bday. I'd tell how old but she'd absolutely KILL me if I did. Let's just say 29 and leave it at that. So anybody reading this (hmmm. IS anybody reading this?), if you see her, give her a happy bday hug, kiss, or email. I love you, Ma.

Footprints in the sand
What an incredible weekend.
The deserted island is back. Went to Mead's Bay on Saturday. The beach is about a mile long from one end to the other. Not a single person on it. Merlzy and I walked to the end, turned around and saw our footprints all the way back. We were the only ones on the beach. Kind of felt like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Started to try to figure out how I would eat etc. Hmmm. When I got back to the end of the bay, I picked up my snorkel and fins and went out to see what I could see, sea, see. Absolutely the clearest I have ever seen it here. I missed my spear gun though. I saw a lot of local fish that could have made a nice supper. I told them to go hide cuz I was comin' back for 'em. So next week, dinner is on me!!
Headed off to SXM with my best friend on Sunday to see what island life is like over there. Sundays are wonderful there too. No traffic, people chillin' on the beach. A couple margy's, a couple beers, frolicking in the H2O, smiles, laughter, and sparkles in everyone's eyes. Really enjoyed it. So different from AXA. Need a change of pace from the usual Sunday haunts. Then it was back to AXA for pizza and a movie to end the weekend. Oops, forgot the movie. That's okay, found something better to do anyway. Now I can't wait for next weekend again.
AXA is sooooo quiet now. It's actually the way I remember it from 15 years ago. Love it. Now I just need to figure out a way to make a living besides coffee. Any ideas are appreciated. First good one gets a free panini.
Hey, check out this site. Great ideas and the writing is wonderful.
