Volleyball Tournament and the Superbowl

So, I played in a volleyball tournament this past weekend with Karl and Ray in New Orleans. There were three others on the team (Christian, Damien, Brandon) from Lafayette as well. Anyway, we did ok, but ended up fourth. I was the setter and although I haven't set in forever, I think that I did ok. I was a little sore the next day, but it wasn't bad.

The next day, Lewis, Kevin, Jerome and I went to Jerome's parents house in Belle Rose, LA. I had never been there and it was fun to see Jerome's old stomping grounds. It is out in the country and like a farm community. It would've been great to grow up as a kid there. Wide open spaces and different terrain like farmland, forest, and swamp, it's a haven for a bunch of rowdy kids. It reminded me a little of home, since I am from a small town and only a mile or so from utter wilderness. Jerome's mom, Ms. Winnie cooked us some shrimp stew (yum), pork roast (yum), potatoes au gratin (yum yum), green beans (yum), and some rolls (yum). I seriously ate myself stupid and had to succumb to a 20-minute food coma after eating. Then we made popcorn balls (yum yum), of which we brought about 10 home. Jerome and I are marching right through them though.

Oh yeah, we also watched the first half of the superbowl at Jerome's parents home, then came back to Baton Rouge and watched the last quarter. At home, Kevin, Lewis, Jerome, and I played scum and poker. Then we also watched a Jeff Dunham DVD and started an Eddie Izzard DVD before it got late and we had to go to bed.

I think I am still full from the food that we ate on Sunday.
