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.

Corn bread's a classic.

Yeah, corn bread or over rice.

Duh, I'm so dense, I didn't even think of that. Thanks Todd - it's on the list. Maybe a green salad and we're done.

Or, if you want to pretend you're in Cincinnati, you could serve it over spaghetti ....

I do occasionally have "real" chili (read: what the rest of the world generally thinks of as chili) over spaghetti, and it's actually good. But you might have to be born to it.

Dang. I have a spinach-pesto lasagna in the crockpot, but now I want chili.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Now I want spinach-pesto lasagna!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey, Teppy, you should fly over here tonight. We're having a Dinosaur Comics Reading Party at my place.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We're just back from the meet-and-greet with Matilda's Kindergarten teacher so we're full of Newman-Os and milk.

Matilda was bummed that her best friend Sena wasn't in her class, but we got a happy surprise that her friend Alizon will be. Yay! Alizon is a sweetie.

And Ms. Cathy, the teacher, seems very nice.

We stopped by to say goodbye to our two most beloved pre-school teachers, Helen and Vicki, who both lost their jobs due to the budget cuts. Stupid pink slips.
