We changed time again last night
so I woke up at 8am and went to the gym. When I got there Sue and Mike were
already there. Sue was leaving and Mike was still on the elliptical machine. I
got on the treadmill and put it for 20 minutes. Mile was still on the machine
so I stayed until he finished so I wasn’t chastised. When he finished I got off
the treadmill and started back to my room and he went over to the weights, ok,
he won. At 9 was a beginner’s bridge class I sat in on. It was the same lady I
met at the casino the night before. It was a great class and I learned a lot, I
can’t wait for the next one the day after tomorrow. I ate lunch with the family
and then Mike and I went up to play shuffleboard. We really didn’t know how to
play and were making up our own rules. Two guys from Australia explained the
rules and after they left many people walked by and asked us the rules. We were
laughing because all the old people were asking us the rules and we thought it
was funny that old people were asking young people how to play an old persons
game. It was fun and then I went to the Dancing With the Stars competition.
They will be teaching 4 dances during the cruise and after each dance they will
have a competition. The overall winner will get a gold star and the chance to
win a free cruise. There were about 20 of us and we all just got a partner and
followed their routine. After about 30 minutes the 4 “professionals” from the
cruise line chose a partner and we danced on the stage to get judged. The dance
was the Lindy which I have never danced, but there were so few men at the
competition I was chosen to dance on the stage with a professional dancer. It
was a lot of fun and I got second out of 4 competitors. We will do it again in
a couple of days and dance the Waltz, I can’t wait. At 3 they had a basketball
challenge where we played HORSE and I went to go watch Mike. Since there were
only 4 competitors I joined even though I don’t really like basketball. I got 3rd
place of 5 people. I then went to go take an hour nap and we all ate dinner
together. After dinner we went t o watch the movie, “42”. I have seen it before
and really liked it. I had suggested that my mom watch the movie and now she
did and agreed with me that is was very good. After the movie Mike and I went
to go sit in on the comedian. Glenn Hirsh was pretty good. I like when
comedians can be funny without having a foul mouth. One joke that I really
liked is when he was talking about going through the airport lines and one TSA
agent said what is your last name and first initial. He said Hirsh was his last
name and his first initial was G and in gnat. After the show I put my blog on
line and went to bed. Every night before I sleep I walk outside on the deck
that allows you to walk around the ship. Last night was nice and peaceful. It
seems to be getting warmer every day now. I am glad no more time changes for a
while. Tomorrow is the first shore excursion to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I am
looking forward to it.
