Saturday again...........

Sun is still shining despite warnings of arctic temps for us this weekend......

Now to decide what to get up to today........

Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

[Lynne G]

She's up. First time in years DD went to bed at 7 last night. Wet soccer on tap soon. It is a rainy start to this overcast day. Warm though, mid 70's.

Nice beach picture TinyD. Yeah, stress is not good. Take a deep breath, find some chocolate, and take mini break when you need it.

Time to heat the water for my tea. The house is cool, so large cup before heading out.

I might just hide in my room making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.

I see what you did there!

Mother's Day is May 8th this year. I'm also wondering what's up this year. You'd think with Hulk & Kong slated for "summer" Uni would have one of those infamous dips in attendance in late spring. We are going over Memorial day, but staying at RP. Not too worried about crowds, as we just go with the flow, but I am curious

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne, hope you're day wasn't too soggy........think we're all ready for summer now........


Spent the afternoon napping and watching some episodes of ELR........glad I'm not the only one who doesn't find The Middle funny......

Pizza was good tonight too.........hot and spicy chicken, hot chorizo and jalapeños for us and plain cheese for the boy.........nice.

Nice quiet Saturday night..........

 

[Lynne G]

Well it was a rainy game, but at least not that cold. Will be a rain free game tomorrow, but over 10 degrees cooler. Sun and clouds will be the day.

Watched the Jungle Book with DD. She thought it should have been all animated, rather than the pretty much easy to see what was cgi and real kid. Nice enough night, though we dip close to freezing by early morning. Large moon in the clearing sky. Pretty.

Freezing here again today. Sun is there, barely. Glad you're going to be rain free Lynne for game today......makes it more fun if you're not soaking wet!


Going to a big garden centre about an hour away from us today, they have lovely garden furniture so we fancy a bimble up there and have a look see if we see something we like. They have nice gift and coffee shop too.......

Off to make breakfast.......everyone wants pancakes this morning........have some blueberries so will do that for me, they prefer plain ones.......

Have a great Sunday.........

 

[Lynne G]

Mm mm, Schumi, I am ready for breakfast now. Hope the pancakes were lush. Enjoy the garden center, coffee and shopping, sounds good to me.

Time to do some errands then drive 2 hours to the game.

Enjoying this very bright sunny, cool start to the day. We are at 40 degrees so far.



Have a nice Sunday, all and enjoy doing whatever you do today.

imma busy busy bee, buzzing by to say hi

Mac a southern saying "you can say what ever you want to about someone as long as you say bless his heart afterward" example..that man is dumb as a box of rocks, bless his heart". Of course if you throw in a good southern drawl it does not hurt my bad for the day.

only with a charming southern drawl can one attempt to get away with being passive-aggressive lol. it doesn't play well above the mason-dixon line as my DH's extended family was shocked to discover

Been watching Prince on YouTube

What a year.

he was a major visionary, one of a kind artist that paved the way for others. I was absolutely stunned to hear of his passing. My kids picked up my love of his music, part of the sound track of our collective lives. He will be missed.

I can't believe all these celebrities. 2016 seems to be a crazy year so far

yet i still don't have a confirmed hit on my celebrity death poll

It's Sunday and the minionions are here to start our day

happy sunday funday homies!!

@Lynne G yikes! How did the game turn out? Did they win? O.M.G! two hours??? So is Jungle Book worth watching in the theatres? Sounds like it was kinda meh.

@macraven - No ma'am. I did not switch the ressies! However, I AM considering switching to RPH. My only hesitation is that they are sold out of the APH club level rate. I was thinking of maybe just booking the standard and then asking for the price difference at check in. I have an offer on the table for a Sunday - Thursday rental at Bonnet Creek. If that comes through - I will just double dip and spend 1 night at one at PBH Club instead. Those prices are still the same!

@tinydancer09 I am sure this was mentioned during my SAN hi8us - but are you a Dance Instructor?? I noticed in your post you mentioned your studio - but I was not sure if you were a student, teacher or both. Both my little homies (girls) are in dance. They are 4 and 2. They let the younger one start early b/c of her sister - but I am thinking we started too young for her!! 6 months doesn't seem like much but when they are that young it seems like YEARS!

Update on the backyard. We bought the house about a year ago and knew that there were issues with the concrete in the back yard and the pool needed a new liner. Pool deck has been demoed, repaired, poured and stamped and the pool liner was replaced today! When they took the old liner out - we jumped in and danced around in the dirt / sand. Good Times. They drained the pool yesterday and it is taking FOREVER to fill it up. LOL. That hose has been running for about 3 hours and there is barely any water in there. HA!

Game of Thrones starts back tonight! Any other homies watch it?

 

[macraven]

Where I used to live, our neighbor had a ten foot pool and one time he had the fire department fill the pool up by them

The second time he had the fd hook the hose up to the corner fire hydrant to fill the pool

Neighbors told us it was half the price for the wAter by using the fd

Using a hose at your house on your water meter was at a higher rate

Check it out for which costs less for the water for pool fill

Have a great summer in your pool this year!!!

The hotel will only take a certain number for club

If you want to add club to your room and stay on a different floor/tower that can be done

But club add Ons might be sold out when you check in so add it soon

They restrict the number using the club lounge so it will not be crowded and can accommodate all people

If they have many solos staying club level or only 3 in the standard room, they do let guests upgrade and add club

Last year it was $100 additional per night

 

[goNDmay9]

Thanks @macraven! Good Info on both subjects. We called and apparently the fire department (around here) won't dot that anymore. The other option was to have the water transported in and it was pricey. We called the water department and they said they would charge us for the water and no sewage which is apparently the expensive part. I will let you all know how true that is when we get the bill!

Since there are still club rooms available at the rack rate - will they still let me add it to an APH room?

 

[goNDmay9]

@schumigirl okay - you have had an influence on me. thinking i will make the littles blueberry muffins for school next week.

I wear many hats, but yes one of them is a dance instructor. I've taken since I was 2 and started "student" teaching back when I was in high school. When I left for college I didn't dance for a few years and about went insane so I started again to keep my sanity. Gets me out of the office one day a week and it's like my little therapy session. This year I only teach one group of girls for 2 hours... 3? 5? different classes depending how you look at it. Jazz/HipHOP, Ballet/Lyrical, Tap. I've taught everything from 3 year olds (I learned a lot that year! I'm not a baby person) all the way to graduating senior. Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Lyrical, Jazz.. I don't do too much with hip hop as I'm not very good at even learning choreo of it much less teaching. I love my middle schoolers.

On your daughter starting at 2... It can be hit or miss. Some are ready for it some are not. More or less it's just a "I started dance when I was two" for when she gets older. They start to learn discipline more than anything... and socialization skills, how to stand in your spot, how to sit still... things like that. I'm not saying they DO those things, but they START learning! At least at my studio we don't take things too seriously with the little ones. They're there to have fun not be in boot camp.

 

[macraven]

ND if you call to add club, should be $100 per night

If they will do that you would come out ahead as you have the AP discount on your room

Call the hotel direct and not the booking number and see what they say

That is good news about the water company giving you a break on the water for the pool!

 

[tinydancer09]

If you ever think about going into business with your family thing very long and hard about it. I would do it again, but it's a very very trying thing to do. You're not dealing with you business partner you're talking to your mother, sister, aunt.. Whoever most of the time. I can't wait to get home and have a glass of wine and say a few choice things tomorrow.

Have I said lately I can't wait for the house to get finished?... Time to catch up.

 

[tinydancer09]

HA @goNDmay9! We've filled up a few pools in my day. The first one was a... Idk it was at least 40ft long 15-16ft deep end pool. I'm pretty sure we went to sleep with 2 hoses in the pool and when we woke up it still wasn't even close to full!

MY a parents and their over compensating. Tiny people and giant pools.

Frustrating weekend indeed. Ended up cleaning a rental house and that's not normally in my wheel of jobs. I was supposed to be doing kitchen inventories. Only got 7 of 18. Today we did have lunch at one of our favorite places called killer seafood. Hush puppies are delicious. Also love their tarter sauce on fries mmmm. Got to clean up trash from where a bear tried to break into the bins. Lordy Lordy.

Think I'll watch an episode of something and call it a night. Early morning to make it back to GA in time to help with dance pictures.
