Its getting warm outside:)

Ok so I have voiced my opinion before about how I enjoy some colder (maybe cooler) weather especially living in FL where it tends to be 95 degrees for 10 months out of the year. I am extremely excited that it has just started warming up within the last week or so, this means it is only going to be uncomfortably hot for 8 months this year...a girl can hope right?!?! I got to lay by the pool on Saturday and on my back patio for a bit on Sunday to catch some rays or as my sister would put it "some good old vitamin D." I am glad that the mornings are still on the cooler side and not crazy humid and sticky (I mean I can still straighten my hair so that is a GREAT sign).

I did not even attempt to touch the water in the pool no matter how hot and sweaty I got, I might have suffered from hypothermia if I had done that. My community pool is not heated and it is usually too chilly in July and August let alone the beginning of April. Also w/all of the swim lessons I have lined up for the spring/summer/fall I will get my fair share of chilly water!!!!

Also it is Spring Break in Orlando let me tell you...I met a friend for lunch yesterday at Downtown Disney and had to take the long way (distance wise of course) because the traffic backed-up over 2 miles just at a stop light. And on top of everything else NO ONE knows where they are going ugh...at least I don't have to drive back that way until Friday evening. This is THE busiest time of the year for Disney w/the exception of the week between Christmas and New Years, this just lasts ALL month. Again no one would be able to tell we are in a supposed recession in this country with the amounts of money being spent in the Parks and restaurants. As a former Disney resort lifeguard this means its a time when all the nasty people come out, they have been saving up all winter to yell at the lifeguards, coordinators, managers, and other recreation staff about how we don't have enough chairs, the waitresses are not coming around frequently enough, oh and another good one is "could you please move a table, chairs, and umbrella right here please b/c this is where I want to sit?" my response "no ma'am the tables, chairs, and umbrellas cannot be moved especially ALL the way to the OTHER side of the pool area"; for anyone that have ever been to or seen pictures of the Yacht & Beach Clubs Stormalong Bay (fancy name for pool area;) you will know that the area is quite large and we have approx 3 separate hotels using the same pool area and everyone wants a chair (of course one for EVERY member of their family even the 2 y/o), umbrella, table, etc, needless to say the previously mentioned items are NOT moved at the drop of the hat. Another thing is that their kid is a good swimmer and doesn't need to wear a lifejacket (well them Mr. they are not allowed to enjoy the slide anymore...that doesn't go over well either); most of these said children have not beeing swimming for at least 5 months and if they were a good swimmer in August that doesn't necessarily mean they are going to be now, swimming isn't always like riding a bike especially if there are different elements working against you (i.e. sand on the bottom, lazy river current, whirlpool, longest waterslide at any Disney resort, oh and hundreds of other families). That is enough of my ranting but makes you want to go see what this pool is all about huh?!?! It is definitely one of a kind and I have many good memories from their, good thing I still know people;)

Oh on another note I was the only one in a 4 table radius wearing a Butler shirt the other night (courtesy of my college roomie who used to coach swimming there) and I still came out alive;) Trust me it was tough since most of my friends here are MSU fans/alumni and I was chit chatting about back home with the table next to me (they were visiting from St. Joe, MI) and befriending them. I assured them I was a nice fan and wouldn't get to rowdy either way;) So tonight I think I am going to have to enjoy the game from the comfort of my own couch since all the guys are now in a deep depression at least until football season...

Well I better be on my way talk to you soon (I promise)
