Tuesday, January 5, ‘10 (At Sea)

Last night, I slept WAAAYYYY BETTER then the night before. Wanna know how? We had a wake-up call set for 10am this morning, I got up and answered it, and fell back to sleep for another hour and 15mins (11:15). Finally started moving at 11:30am when Mom called to see if we were awake. Didn’t get outta the room till bout 12:15pm or so when I went w/ Amanda to go get her some brunch. Then she came back to the room with me, so I could my cereal for the morning! Then we went up to the Pool Deck with mom and dad. It was crowded b/c Transformers 2 was showin on the big screen. So we found 4 together that “looked” like they weren’t being used. So we go along our business, and put our stuff down. This guy (w/ an accent from who knows) was real mean to us and gave us a dirty look. He said “He was sitting there, and that he was goin to get a drink!” He never came back! FREAK! It started to rain real lightly, so everybody was in a scramble to get under cover. I was in more of a hurry to get in front of them to protect my computer, because I had it out there….Not knowing it was gonna do that. So I’m in the Observation room for a little bit, catching up on my journal from last night, till now. Later! So when 2:40 came around, I met the rest of my family in Club Fusion for some BINGO! I guess forgetting that it starts at 3:30pm I rushed back to the room to get my glasses, because I thought I would need them to see the board of numbers. I thought it started at 3pm. We played 4gms. On the last game, we played “Blackout” (where you have to fill the WHOLE CARD to win). It got down to where, I had 1 MORE NUMBER (B9)!!!! And they didn’t call it! I could’ve SINGLED HANDLY won $400!! Soooo close, yet soooo far!!! After BINGO, we went outside, and just hung out there for a little bit watching the sea at it’s’ best! Then we went up to the pool Deck, and just laid out for bit. Amanda and Mom went back to the room as soon as the sun went behind the clouds. So did Dad after he asked where they were. I was a MAN (haha lol) and with held the cool air. I listened to my XM while layin out. Few mins after dad went in, I made the decision to go check out the areas/pools. So I laid out there for 20mins or so. I waited till it was pretty dark to go in and get ready for dinner. I wanted to watch a little bit of Julie and Julia (6:30), but I went in before it started, and after I finished my pizza. I went in at the right time, because as soon as I got in the room, I asked Amanda “What time we are meeting Mom and Dad for dinner?” She said “7pm) I THOUGHT ABOUT goin back to the room at 7! Luckily I made the right decision to go early. So tonight’s attire is Formal-Shirt, tie, pants, and suit (if ya got one). So we headed down to Deck 6 to get out formal picture taken. There was A WHOLE LOT of people all on Decks 5-7…. It was the Captain’s Champagne Waterfall Partay! So back to dinner! We ate at the same place as last night. I actually had some Bow Tie Pasta that I liked. (Tried some of Amanda’s this morning) So unfortunately, I was the first one done, and went back to the room to get undressed. I put on MUCH more comfortable, casual clothes, and go check to see if anyone was out by the pool watchin the game. There was! So I go back to the room, grab my lap top, go back up there and find me a comfortable spot to watch the game. I was kinda multitasking by watching the game and working on my journal. It started to sprinkle a bit, so I went down to a buffet, and worked on it there. After I let my battery get low, I went to go get a glass of milk. Once I get back to the room, I notice I don’t have a bowl or spoon for some cereal. So I make ANOTHER trip back to the buffet area, and get one of each. Come back to the room. Watched some TV and had me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Bout 11:30pm, I left the room and went up on deck, kicked back and relaxed while watching the Iowa/Georgia Tech game. That was a good game! Got back to the room around 12:45am and just fell asleep after watching TV with Amanda.
