"Shut up. It's ok, I'm a girl."

Picked up el supremo de NM at O'Hare today...in record time I might add. From my door, it took less than 30 minutes to get to the massive airport. With relatively easy traffic, we were able to grab a bite for lunch prior to heading to our first client.

After a successful meeting, we briefly stopped at home before heading to dinner at our new favorite restaurant, Scylla. Joining us for dinner was Alexis (of the blog Alexis in Amsterdam), fellow blogger (and sister) Motherrocker, John the Armenian (MR's hubby) and his parents Sourdough Al and Sandy (they specialize in putting together great cruise packages, so check them out if you're interested). We had a great time swapping tales as well as food. We sat upstairs, which was a first for me, but we had Alex as our waiter, a Scylla favorite. Chef Stephanie was there as well and even sent out some complimentary appetizers to us. What a great night!! In addition to the great food, I had a few Quebec beers called Maudite. Really tasty stuff let me tell you. For dessert, Motherrocker decided to order a Frangelico. She must have thought I was going to say something demeaning, because she made the quote which I used as the title of the blog today. Mind you, I didn't even know what Frangelico was, so clearly I couldn't make fun of her!!

Still no Cicadas anywhere near me downtown, but I've heard they are even up in Winnetka now. So now they are north, south and west (can't be east because of the lake). What the hell?
Show yourselves already!!

Finally, a baby binturong was born in Sydney's zoo. Here's a picture of the really cute "bear cat", the first born in captivity in Sydney.

Oh, that's what I get for being drunk I guess. Sorry! Frangelico is the sort of drink that often incites smartass comments from certain corners....

Someone ought to open a restaraunt across town form Scylla and call it Charybdis...Wikipedia for those of you who are curious...

Frangelico, if i remember from my drinking days (crap shoot)that is a hazelnut liquor that comes in a bottle shaped like a monk right.
Wow there is an animal called a bear cat, i thought that was just a red neck term for a wild woman.

You are right dry dock! I thought it was something with orange in it. Red neck comment was too funny!

Stef, you were soooo cute when you got drunk. You were actually swaying at one point. I laughed to myself but didn't point it out.

Curse you bee for making me read wikipedia on my own site!!
