Ouch!

My precious Cubbies got a lil spankin' yesterday at the hands of the Orioles. 11-3. Ouch. It ain't gonna get any easier as they are playing the Chi-sox this weekend....on the Southside. Led by that crazy-ass Ozzie Guillen, there's no telling what may ensue this weekend. And my Cubbies are dropping like flies, now Scott "don't call me Stevie" Eyre is out with some "soreness in his groin" (never a good thing, I'd imagine).

I think I am slowly being driven to the point of insanity....there is a doctor here at work who shall remain nameless whose office is now within spitting distance of my lowly cubicle now that we've moved buildings. What is driving me insane, you may ask? Well, it's the music he insists on listening to. Today's choice is some classical number that he listens to over and over and OVER again. Earlier in the week? It was some snazzy Irish-jig music. I have threatened to actually start jigging in the hallway if the tunes continue.....

HEEEEEEEY party people, you are lookin at this week's STAR employee (at least for my team). When I was awarded this prestigious honor today (complete with a literal gold star to tape to the outside of my cubicle AND a $3 coupon for the cafeteria downstairs), my first reaction was "really, what did I do?". I didn't think I was being particularly star-like this week, but hey, I'll take it.

The weekend is finally upon us (yay!). What is everyone doing? There are rumors of us going to Fairmount Park to see the horse races tonight (first stops include Alex's house and happy hour, however)-never been so that may be kinda fun. Tomorrow is our MUCH anticipated Girls Night Out (sans my girl Rob, unfortunately. Damn Jimmy Daher's friends always ruining our plans!). We literally planned this night out what, six or seven weeks ago? That's how long it took to find a weekend where we could all go out. Busy bitches. Anyway, I think we are checking out that new casino downtown, Lumiere Place....should be a good time. I'm ready for a fun night out with my girls!



P.S. DJT----you're my favorite! ;)
