Worst.weekend.EVER.

I just got back from Chicago. I hate being around four other girls who take 3 hours every time they want to go somewhere. Here was our itinerary:

Friday:
8pm- sec arrives at the hotel only to find out that the girls have not stayed nearby and are not answering their phones.
8:45- sec finally gets a call back, only to find out they've given her teh wrong hotel info. sec proceeds to walk to the new hotel where they have taken off again.
10pm-the girls and sec decide they are a bit peckish and want something to eat. this involves them changing clothes, because jeans and tshirts are apparently not appropriate for going to a cheap italian dive. once clothes are changed, hair and makeup must also be redone.
10:45- sec begins to suspect she will die of hunger, as there seems to be no end of primping in sight.
11:30pm- girls are ready to leave for dinner. girls argue about where they want to eat. vultures are pecking at sec's corpse.
11:45 arrive at restaurant to eat. then take 20 minutes to decide, while asking each other's opinions on whether it will make them fat.

Saturday
8am-sec wakes up. sec sits around for an hour waiting for others to wake up.
9-others still asleep. sec goes for hour long walk. sec brings back donuts in the hope others are now awake.
10am- others beginning to wake up. eat donuts and plan for day.
12:30 pm- others, though having eaten donuts only minutes before, have finally finished primping and decide they want lunch.
1:30- finally arrive at lunch destination, after taking the "scenic route" because others refuse to listen to directions from the one person who has ever been to Chicago. repeat food process from previous evening.
2:30 pm- decide to shop. sec's eyes get stuck after rolling them too much die to constant asking of how others feel about the shoes being tried on. sec starts wondering about the progress of the game.
5pm- sec is trying not to fall asleep while spending almost three hours at the GAP (others trying on hideous clothing)and constantly hearing from them that it's "so adorable" there is a Baby Gap.
6pm- sec contemplates ritual suicide due to not being any place that she can check the score of the game.
6:30- sec feels as though she has died and gone to heaven as she is finally able to go to the Cubs Clubhouse store and see highlights from the game.
7pm- after getting lost on the seven block journey from Water Tower to the hotel, sec begins to plot others murder. arrive at hotel to drop off packages and go to dinner.
7:10 pm- sec has changed into dinner clothing for nice sushi restaurant. waiting for others to decide what they want to wear.
8pm- sec thankful for the book she brought. others think they have an idea of what to wear.
8:30-others now starting to redo hair and makeup.
9:30- finally arrive at restaurant
10:30-arrive back at hotel. sec ready to go to bar/club in 15 minutes. girls still pulling more clothes out of suitcase.
12:30- girls have decided that their hair "won't do anything they want, so I'll just leave it like this." Others also have miraculously applied makeup in only 45 minutes.
12:45- arrive at bar/club. sec ready to get wasted.
4am-sec is trashed. bachelorette even more trashed and begins puking on sec. sec purchases another beer. bachelorette proceeds to trip and fall, forcing sec to abandon her beer so bachelorette can be taken to ER.
4:15- arrive at hotel after bachelorette decides she doesn't need ER. sec regrets not sneaking the beer with her in the cab.

Sunday
10 am- sec wakes up and packs, knowing we need to check out by 11. wonders how others will be able to get ready on such a small amount of time.
10:50-sec gets ready to leave for airport. others tell her she should pitch in for the cost of parking thte car, although she didn't ride there with them. sec says so and leaves. sec walks through pouring rain to get to CTA. expects to arrive at O'Hare at about 11:30
12:58pm- sec finally arrives at O'Hare due to numerous changes between train and bus. feverishly hopes that flight is delayed. sec's plane is scheduled to board at 1:05.
1:02pm- by some miracle, sec makes it through security in less than five minutes. sec makes her plane and flies home, wondering if she needs to perform an exorcism on the bridal party.

But at least thee Cubs swept the D-Bags!

Item 2
I went to a Pirate game a few years back where it was so cold and the sun was shining (outside Wrigley the temperature felt like 65, inside Wrigley 65 below), and I was forced to overpay for a Cub stocking cap and gloves. I spent what was left of the cash I had on hot chocolate all game long. I felt like I was at Soldier Field in Decemeber.

Item 3
Is Soriano going to ever stop hopping on routine fly balls?

Item 4
Not to mention very politically uncorrect!

Item 5
He's had a bit of renaissance of late hasn't he. I still don't like starters 4 and 5 in the rotation.

correction:
