Jetplanes hittin up the Chi

We had a great time in Chicago visiting with our friends. First things first, we went to the Cubs v. Cards game.
Mr. Jetplane loves the Cubs... Mr. Jetplane loves Mrs. Jetplane, his dogs, the Cubs, and BEER... As you can see... he loves beer ALOT!


We enjoyed the game, unfortunately the Cubs lost, but won the rest of the series.

FYI... for those of you planning on attending future Cubs or any games for that matter... never wear this...

Actually, if you ever plan on going outside, don't wear this. For the love of God and all things holy, don't do this to all of us that must look at you...

Work is really getting in the way...

Of MY LIFE!!!

There I said it.


I'm back from Chicago and had a WONDERFUL time. However, I do feel like I seriously gained 10 lbs. I haven't ate a 'real meal' since I got there. I'm in a bad way, and I have a wedding on Saturday that I need to look 'good' at. Well, 'good' is a variable term, but still... don't want to look like a fat ass.

Anyway, I'm crazy busy today and hope to blog about the trip some more this evening.

But one thing that had to be blogged about this morning, was the term that my girlfriends and I coined over the weekend... We started saying...."He's having a Massengill moment!" and/or "He's a Massengill!"

You see...what makes it even funnier is that guys don't even know what Massengill is... they think that name sounds familiar, they think they know 'who' Massengill is... but totally don't know its a brand name for a douche. Ha Ha!!! No idea that we're calling you a douche bag or that you're acting like a douche bag... OMG so funny... or at least we thought it was. Well, all day of drinking does make us some pretty funny ladies... if we do say so ourselves.

OMG... I'm pretty sure my body is going through grease/fat withdraws...

Happy Monday
XOXO

Jetplanes Getaway...

This time next week, the Jetplanes will be here...






For those of you that don't know, this is Wrigley Field, as in the home of the Chicago Cubs, AKA Mr. Jetplane's favorite sports team EVER. Yes, Mr. Jetplane is a tried and true Cubbies fan. And at the beginning of every season when tickets go on sale, its a crazy day of waiting in 'virtual' waiting rooms to get as many tickets, for as many games as possible.


To be completely honest, it is way easier to get Cubs tickets when they are playing an away game then getting tickets (that aren't over-priced) from the Cubs themselves. The games sell out and they sell out fast.

We, and by we, I mean I sat in that damn virtual waiting room all day. However I did score 6, count em, 6 seats together for the Cubs/Cards game. If you know anything, you know the Cubs/Cards games are the BEST. It a heated rivalry and since they are so close to each other you'll get a lot of the opposing teams fan in attendance. So needless to say we are excited. We may also get to go to the Saturday game as well, we'll see.


We'll be up in Chicago from Wednesday evening until Sunday morning when I fly back to P'cola. Luckily, it turns out over those few days, a lot of our friends are going to be in the city. A college friend is having a bday party on Saturday. And hopefully, I'll get to see lil baby C again who is just getting so big I can't stand it.


Mr. Jetplane is staying in Illinois to visit family and he'll meet me the following weekend in STL for guess what.... another Cubs/Cards game in STL (with my cousin and her hubby) and then a college roomie/sorority sister's wedding on Saturday. Then we are DRIVING home on Sunday.


YES I know its crazy....

But it should be a great time.... Go Cubs Go!

Is anyone else excited???

My Boys is back tonight on TBS. I loved this show last season, and can't wait till tonight. Maybe because its 'set' in Chicago and they love the Cubs (Mr. Jetplane's reason for liking the show) or maybe its because I totally relate to being 'one of the guys'. I love this show, and highly recommend it to everyone.

There was quite a cliff hanger at the end of Season 1....
