Life on the Island.. You gotta love it!
Just me.
Well not much going on here. An uneventful weekend to say the least, but I caught up on some blogging (so that is productive in itself). I posted some fun photos. I was bored (sorry guys) but since halloween is soon to arrive I figured a little role playing wouldn't hurt. Did you see my man.. FREEDOM!! Well after another sitting of this movie (which I love) I figured I'd keep the momento going. One of these days I'll post Jeff's b-day party pics.. A friend took some great pics so stay tuned for those. Until tomorrow.. :-)

Fabulous Bags..Now get your own!!
I love, love, love my bags. You need to check out this site. I met the young lady that makes and designs these bags here in St Thomas. As some of you know (and have seen) now I will reveal where you can actually get one, two, or three. You can choose the style of bag you like then (this is the coolest part) you pick the fabric you like. She has many to choose from in her collection. I guarantee no one else will have anything like it. She also makes overnight bags, clutch purses and baby bags. No doggy bags yet so before you ask I have already emailed her about it. I'll be sure to let the "puppy" moms know. Click on the link below or on my link section to go directly to her site.

The Body Deli..Yummy Yummy
This place is heaven on earth. I love this store. The products are amazing. They are all natural and many even have expiration dates. Most of these items you'll have you to keep in your refrigerator, but I can't stress how incredible these products are. Their butter scrubs make your skin feel softer than anything else I have used. The natural fragrances puts any high end store item to shame. Check out their site. I believe they ship. I suggest the Thai Facial spritz and the Vanilla Butter srcub. I also like the Mint Julep Facial scrub. The stores design is just like a deli or ice cream shop. They have refrigerated glass displays just like a deli. You actually want to eat it instead of putting it on your skin. When you make your choice they scoop up your cream, scrub, or soap and fill it in a deli container. It will have a label with its ingredients and expiration date. Take out the credit cards and check books girls.. You will not be disappointed.

Season almost here
Soon we'll have to share our island with thousands of people. It's off- season now and it is quiet. You can actually frequent a restaurant or go the beach without a million tourists. Don't get me wrong tourism is a good thing. Especially here (it needs all the support it can get) Above is a picture of the harbor with 4 ships in. The queen Mary to the right (she is enormous and does not fit) they taxi people in via water taxis. When we have this many ships on island it can take us forever just to get to the other side of the island. I'd opt for walking but are you kidding me?? It is a mountainous island with steep hills. Besides are you kidding me?? WALK??
At night this view is awesome. I'll try to find a photo and post it.

Spurs in St Thomas
The San Antonio Spurs have announced that the team will hold its 2005 training camp at the University of the Virgin Islands at the school's St. Thomas campus. The team will hold its annual media day at the Airport Embassy Suites in San Antonio at 11:00 a.m. on October 3 before departing for St. Thomas.
The Spurs will hold their entire training camp on the island with the first practice scheduled for October 4. The team will depart St. Thomas on October 13 and travel directly to Columbia, South Carolina for a preseason game there against the Philadelphia 76ers on October 14.
The team's daily practice schedule will be announced at a later date. All practices will take place at the Sports and Fitness Center located on the University of the Virgin Island's beachside campus. Practice sessions will be closed to both the media and the public.
The Spurs will be the first NBA team to travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"This is a very exciting event for everyone in the Virgin Islands," said Peter Sauer, the Athletic Director at the University of the Virgin Islands. "We are thrilled that an NBA team is coming to our community. The fact that it is the San Antonio Spurs makes it even sweeter. For the last 10 years the Spurs have served as the model franchise in the NBA. Not only do they win on the court but they do everything the right way, from their ownership to their basketball staff to their players and front office."
The University of the Virgin Islands is an accredited U.S. college with approximately 2,700 students spread over two campuses, one located on St. Thomas and one on St. Croix, which is where Spurs forward Tim Duncan was born and raised.
"We've always thought about holding training camp in the Virgin Islands," said Spurs General Manager RC Buford. "It certainly is something that is very important to Tim Duncan. But we really think it'll be a great experience for the entire team."

I am officially a "Nerd"---Scrabble
Ok those of you that know me well also know that I am a sucker for games. I dont have high speed internet where I am so I have settled for the Old school games.
Check out this site. You can only play with one other person, but there are people from all over. You play with a timer and you select the time span for your game. I like to play short games. I must warn you that this is addicting. It can take over your spare time (in between blogging) You can chat while you play or observe other games. I have been playing for quite some time (can you say....LOSER!!!!) My handle is "nyls" (yes I said handle) I have easy tips and list of words that you can use. I play the tournament ledger version. Which means you can only use words that have been used in a tourny. I have the list and can tell you how to get it. You can just alt+tab while you play so you have a guide. If you join find me I am on almost every night (again can you say... LOSER!!!) Just let me know in advance what your handle name is so we can play. Hope you join..
see ya

You must Cultivate yourself in Idle time... The Famous "Willy T"
Short version:
Famous Architect.. Had something to do with the design of our Capital. Read about him it is actually quite interesting.. Bla Bla Bla
This is the floating Bar & Grill William Thorton (Willy T's) at Norman Island. For those who are brave enough to jump naked off the back of the boat (about 1 1/2 to 2 stories high) and get out of the water, walk back into the bar/boat still naked, go to the bartender and show all, you get a t shirt from Willy T's staff for your efforts. (if you look closely, there is someone at the back of the boat ready to take the dive. )
Believe it or not I actually jumped off this vessel. Of course I had my suit on... It is definitely a must if you visit. The food is actually pretty good. You can only get here via boat. At lunch time this place is crazy. It is packed to the "gills" all kinds of boats tie off and then you just jump from one boat to the other until you finally step on the Willy T dock. It is actually amazing how many people frequent this place. A must after boating all day.
I posted a nudie shot (for the boys) .

What was Jeff thinking???
Ok here I am attempting to actually climb this. BUT!!! I am wearing a skirt and who am I kidding.. ME CLIMB???
So after some thought it hits me.. What is a good, pen pushing Jewish boy doing climbing a cliff when we are the only ones here... Needless to say it did not happen. (at least not here)
This place is called "The Point" it is right across the bay from where we live. We can actually see our house from where we were. It is very cape codish.. Waves splash against the rocks and the view.. Oh the view.
