Rose and the 11:00 a.m. ladies at curves

So I try try try to get to my local Curves three times a week.  Usually I try try try to get there before 8:00 a.m.  But today I got caught up with a phone conversation and before I knew it, it was 10:45.  What this meant is that when I got to Curves I would be working out with Rose and the 11:00 ladies.  I wish I could video this because it is pretty amusing to watch.  The 11:00 ladies do a uh...let's say a leisurely work out.  If someone mentions a recipe or some other topic that peeks their interest they will stop working out on the machine they are on and gather around to offer their opinions.   Rose doesn't even bother pretending that she is working out.  She just wanders from machine to machine joining in on what she feels are the most interesting conversations.
  So today I started my work out.  The 11:00 ladies were there but no Rose.  Hmm, that's strange I thought, wonder where she is.  At around 11:25 Rose walked in.  Everyone greeted her and she started her "work out".  The rest of the 11:00 ladies were pretty much done with their work out.  Rose was rather disappointed that they were going to leave before she was done.  But they did leave and now Rose had no one to talk to.   I tried not to make eye contact, but that didn't matter to Rose.   She came over to me and said (and I'm not kidding) "Come here often? haven't seen you around here before."  I smiled and explained that I usually come earlier.    I was done with my workout so I excused myself and went to get my coat and purse.   I beat feet out and as I was going to my car I realized that I forgot my scarf.  So I had to go back. I hoped I could get in and out without Rose spotting me.  But I had no reason to be concerned because there was Rose chatting with her new friends, the 12:00 ladies.
