A first that needs repeating

Yesterday was the first day of Mercury's retrograde and the new moon. I'd almost forgotten about my moon journal.

It was also my friend Jojo's birthday. I went to her place with a bottle of wine and stood sweating up a storm in the kitchen while she boiled two huge pots of water. "At least we'll lose some weight before we eat," I said with optimism.

My mouth dropped open as she grabbed a live lobster out of the sink with tongs and her housemate/best friend Purple cut the elastics off it's claws. My mouth stayed open as the lobster was unceremoniously plunked/plunged into the pot of boiling water. I could have done an Elaine (from Seinfeld) GET OUT when Jojo opened the pot and declared, "Oh he's still fighting"
He's not dead yet?

And no we didn't hear any screams, all seven times that this was done. The only screams heard were mine when Purple made me cut the elastics off the last two lobsters so she could take a picture of us. Too funny.

It's a shitload of work eating a whole lobster, as Purple's boyfriend Thomas discovered. He didn't love it so we happily ate his too! ha! We each ate two lobsters, cracking and pulling and digging and dipping. I'm still burping garlic!

I tell you I could do a repeat performance today, high cholesterol or not. Talk is that we may have to do it New Year's eve. Now that's a way to start a new year!

Happy Birthday JoJo!
I love you and your lobster.
