I am challenged when it comes to putting things together, following directions, painting (we won’t go there!), so I was kind of worried about being able to put this shelving unit together.  Luckily Joe was over last night for Crab Fest and added the help I needed! 

We got this unit at Sam's Club - it has a 600 pound weight capacity!

So we went to the neighbors last night for Crab Fest!  Hannah played with the twins while Joe played guitar hero with their 5 year old.  I knew I’d like these neighbors the first time I went to their house and they had this hanging on the wall!

But the star of the show was the crab!!!!!

Tony doesn’t like the knuckle meat, but I do, so I kind of picked all the meat out of mine and his and made butter crab soup!

so good!

It was a really fun time.  We usually play cards, but we ate kind of late, so we’ll have to do that next time.

And Joe brought me my birthday gift!  I love how he worded the front of the card:

Let's gt Bizzy!

More cleaning is on tap for today, and I have yet to go grocery shopping.  I still have to do my BSI recipe today over at Dinner at Christina’s.  I plan on making shrimp with garlic and parsley sauce over braised red cabbage.  This is all for me because no one likes cabbage but me!  It’s not too late to enter your cabbage recipe – today is the deadline.

I also am going to try making homemade corn tortillas today too.  Since the shelf took longer to put together than I thought, I did not do Jillian’s 30-day shred, so I have to do that sometime today too.  Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday so far – see you later!
