sj, I guessed it was a misspell on cannellini beans.
I figured, but a canneloni is an entirely different thing.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

True. But I wouldn't put it in my cassoulet. Would put it in my tummy though. Had cannelloni for dinner last night, mmmmmm. And a couple bites of leftovers for breakfast. Still hungry though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes I'm in Chicago (well, Mt Prospect if you wanna get technical) this weekend. Yesterday we went to Russian Tea Time for lunch before The Art Institute. Major suck that two of my favorite works weren't on display (Picasso's Old Man with a Guitar is on tour and the Chagall window is being restored and kept off display so it doesn't get damaged during construction) but I still feel energized being in the presence of the great impressionist works. Also fun seeing a painting by James Ensor since I only knew of him from They Might be Giants.
I think later today we're driving up to Evanston for a veggie lunch at the Blind Faith Cafe and chocolates at Ethels.

Oh, Joe and Aimee, that is just shitty. I'm sorry for the late commiseration, but I've been offline. Let me know if I can do anything. Love you guys!
Also, Matilda, give your mom and dad a little break, sweetie. They've got SO much going on right now. I think they could use a little break.
I had a lovely couple of days with mom. She just left. I'll post pictures of what we did in a bit. We put together five quilts. It was really amazing. I couldn't believe how much we got done. It was SO fun, but now I'm exhausted.

And speaking of food...
Mt Prospect if you wanna get technical
Dang. I was wondering if you were really thinking about heading out for chili. I may have to go pick up some lunch there myself.
And they are just across the street from the cupcake place. Hmm.

Our wings are not tired.
I must have skipped where you are getting the great menus from. Yum.
{{Aimee and MM}} Sorry for the sucky work situation.
Also, Bitches rock!

Trash out. Dishes unloaded. Dirty dishes in washer. Cass fucking exhausted.
