{1} A compliment goes a long way
Today I went back to the aquatic YMCA i discussed in this post here. I was going to join a water fitness class which turned out to not be quite what I expected. Let’s just say it’s for a more older generation who can’t quite exercise safely any other way, so I nixed that quickly! I did want to practice my swimming though. You may remember that last summer (possibly even the summer before!) I started taking some swim lessons from Nick’s mom. She is fabulous, has been teaching swimming for over 20 years! I never learned any technique (I can only do enough to keep myself from drowning) so I asked her to help me out! I haven’t practiced my technique in a really long time though, but I decided to swim a few laps for some practice to see how it felt. After lap 2, I paused for a break next to a man I spoken with earlier inside the gym and he gave me the GREATEST compliment I think I’ll hear all summer – “You’re a great swimmer!!” OH MY GOSH! I about had a heart attack because I would never consider myself a great swimmer, but that compliment right there pushed me over the edge and I will now be signing up for my membership for May, June, and July just so I have a place to practice my swimming now!

{2} Magic Kingdom day
I have been picking up some overtime shifts in Magic Kingdom lately and obviously people ask you where things are constantly and honestly, since I’m not familiar with it, I HAVE NO CLUE! So I thought today would be a great time to familiarize myself with Magic Kingdom a little better, so I’ll be heading there shortly!

{3} Watermelon
I mentioned in recent post that I LOVE watermelon and our Publix down the road has quarter size watermelon they sell. Every chance I get, I run to Publix and find me the cheapest quarter I can get and I eat it all in one setting. It’s the most delightful thing to put in your mouth this time of year!

{4} Burn Notice
I’ve been watching so much Burn Notice lately, I’m LOVING it!! Nick and I got into a while back, but I missed a lot of the episodes when I got sick one time and never really caught back up, so we both decided to re-watch all the seasons and it has been wonderful!! I’ve enjoyed the relaxing time I have to just sit and watch. I’m considering making a trip to Miami for the day one of these days and scouting out film scenes and with my fingers crossed, running into an actual film shoot and stalking for some pictures! Just FYI!
