October is the best month of the year...

I am a lucky girl. I made plans to meet a couple of buddies this weekend for a combo birthday / bachelorette party in Chi town and the city just happens to be the host of game 1 of the World Series that starts on Saturday featuring the Chicago White Sox - who with their win over the Los Angeles Angels - advanced to their first World Series since 1959, the the second longest drought between appearances. (Chicago Cubs hold the number one spot there).

This is cool as I love baseball. This makes me lucky as all the girls coming on this trip love baseball too.

This surely turns our girlie weekend of debauchery into the girlie weekend of debauchery with a baseball chaser - BONUS!! I am sooo excited. I doubt we will be able to scalp tickets at any reasonable price, and not being a White Sox fan makes spending $1k per ticket for nose bleed seats a little 'crazy', so we will probably settle on barstool in a local sports bar close to the park full of die hard wishful thinkers mulling over all the reasons the SF Giants didn't make it to the show this year. And no, I don't think it is solely because Barry was out for most of the season...

So Chi town here we come. Do I care who wins? Not really - just happy to be near it all. However, I will preface this by saying...if the Cards happen to beat out Houston this week, I will be rooting for Ozzie's alma mater....ever so quietly though...as I don't want to get my ass kicked.
