Conferenece, bowling and The White Sox

This week has been a craazy week. It was our National Airblade sales conference in Chi - so it was a chance to get to know lots of the Airblade sales team - all of whom are characters but were actually a good crack. We went bowling (10 pin) which was fun, although it took me a few goes to realise which hand I bowl with (note to self I bowl left handed in real life, right handed on the wii). I did manage to split my new jeans on the pocket and I think I may have flashed the badger bum to the entire team, but no-one said anything, so I'm hoping they didn't really notice. Stupid new jeans from Anthropology, they so went straight back to the shop. (I'm still hoping it was the ropey jeans and that it's not a reflection of my ass growing...eeeeek).

We also went out for a really nice meal one evening to National 27 - very near to work in the River North area. After finishing 3 presentations that day, I decided to have a couple of rioja's and foolish brought up the subject of England V's US in the World Cup. I now have a bet on with the team and if England lose I have to wear a US footy shirt to the next conference - please Wayne Rooney keep me safe.

Friday I went to see The White Sox play at US Cellur Field - South side of the city (which I think it's fair to say is the area of Chi that you are most likely to get shot in). The match was brilliant!

It was against the Seattle Mariners and it was a really close game, with the White Sox winning in the 10th innings with an amazing home run. I even saw my very first Grand Slam - absolutely

cracking. We had burgers, curly fries and beer - brilliant. The White Sox even have their own Beckham - although disappointingly, he is no way as hot as our Becks. After the game there was a really good display of fireworks to music - the yanks definitely know how to put on a show!

Oh, also got told a great Poo story at work on Friday....It's so good, I believe there is a reenactment on youtube. Link to follow shortly - and yes, it's a true story....unlike the troll story!

Oh, and the low light of the week - my chicago marathon t-shirt arriving and the realisation that I'm actually going to try and get my little legs to run that far. Badger down!
