greetings from somewhere at sea. i've been dancing in the disco and my
throat is so sore. too much cigarette smoke for this california girl. i
am so thankful that my friends decided to pretend they were travel
agents and join me on this cruise. my old business partner, tammy, is
here. and so is one of the women who was a mom to one of my girl scouts
and went on the trip to san francisco with us last year. so that has
made things a whole lot more fun. tonight we were all rolling around on
the floor of the lobby doing odd cheerleader poses for a professional
photographer. now come on, people. it doesn't get much better than
that! har!
so it's interesting when you cruise SOLO. you get hit on a lot. wedding
rings mean nothing. absolutely NOTHING. and while i like the attention,
i also feel just a tad guilty for actually liking the attention. isn't
that weird? because dearsweetdave and i have such a very open and
trusting relationship. and i honestly LOVE my husband and would never
do anything to jeopardize our marriage. but i can be the biggest flirt
in the entire world. and well, cute boys paying attention to me...i
can't help but pay attention back...just a little bit!
tomorrow we'll be in mexico. it turns out that i'm scheduled for some
major tour with the mexico tourism board. who knew? they're escorting
me around as their guest. the things that happen to you when you're a
travel agent. such a weird world. perhaps i'll actually do my best to
pay attention and then write a proper blog entry about everything i see
and learn. that will be beneficial for them and maybe even for me if
folks are searching for the highlights of mexico tourism.
anyway, i should go to bed. it's not that late, but i want to go
running in the morning before we disembark. and we're supposed to
disembark by 8:30 a.m. so it means i'll be getting up at my regular
puppy hour and running just as if stella were here on the ship with me.
i'm just thankful there's a track to run on. i think i'd go a little
crazy if i went for three days without going for a run. especially with
all the food they keep shoving my way! oof!
