What is it about the south and boiling things? When I lived in Louisiana we were always having a crawfish boil, or shrimp boil, or something boil. Some sort of shell fish was going into a ginormous pot of boiling water and we were having a party. When I lived in Maryland, famous for its crabs, we had cakes and I don’t think I saw a huge pot of boiling shell fish the entire time I lived there. Now that I am back in a southernish state the parties are starting again. The other night at work people pitched in and had a crawfish boil, I’m talking 60lbs of crawfish. They laid newspaper on a 6 ft plastic folding table and poured the crawfish and vegetables directly from the pot to the paper. It was such a sight, alas I did not have my camera. I guess we will do a food night once a week so next time I will be prepared. It was a fun evening.

Today I went to get my first set of Invisalign retainers. I thought I was going to get some little tabs glued to my teeth and get aligning trays, but I only got the trays. I will be going back in a few weeks for the tabs and new aligners. My teeth feel weird when the trays are out, and I can tell they are working already. It’s like wearing those fake halloween vampire teeth all the time ‘cept no one else knows. So far they are pretty annoying, and I have to get used to sleeping in them. It’s definately worth it to have my teeth oh so pretty though! I can’t wait til it feels weird to not be wearing them.
