My long weekend

Hi gang! I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here and alive and having fun! I had yesterday off, and as per my usual habit, I didn't post (well, other than my typical Saturday morning weigh-in). Sorry to worry you all! I did eat a little too much this weekend, but it was for a good cause? We celebrated my brother's fiancee's birthday and the birthday of one of my best friends. Their birthdays were in August and July respectively, so, naturally, we decided to have a crawfish boil in January! Look good?

We had some good eats!  We had crawfish (my first time trying them--tasty, but not worth the time for me), tiger shrimp, dungeness crabs, and potatoes and corn.  So good.  Probably had way too much food (which I've estimated below).  We got some good crawfish, too!  We ordered them straight from Louisiana!  I called them on Thursday, and asked about live crawfish, but was informed that they didn't have any.  Bummed out, I ordered the 10 pounds of boiled and frozen, after being told that they would actually be better since they're harvested at the peak of their season.  I got the shipment the next day (they actually build overnight shipping into the cost!), and put it in the fridge the next day.  Not opening the cooler it was shipped in, Anna and I finished our shopping on saturday and returned with an hour and a half before our guests would arrive hungry and ready to eat.  We finally opened the cooler to a moving bag!  It turns out that they shipped us live crawfish after all.  (And yes, I did scream and whimper like a little girl the entire time  of preparing the live mudbugs!)  Here's the full spread:

Also, we saw the Book of Eli, this weekend.  And I loved it.  It's probably one of the best movies I've seen in years.  My pastor even saw it and enjoyed it.  But I'd recommend seeing it before reading his post, since he goes into depth about the movie and plot in his post.  I would highly recommend it.
