4th of July at the Beach

Hello from the other side of 4th of July!

Thursday, we had a half day at work, and so we started the day with mimosas and breakfast wraps. I don’t hate my job.

We took the Jitney out to Greenport on Thursday night and ate at the Blue Canoe before taking the ferry to Shelter Island.

We had great weather on Friday, but crappy weather on Saturday, which made for a SLOGFEST of 10 humid miles on Saturday morning.

At least I’ve had new places to run these past two weekends even if they’ve both been humid.

We went back over to Greenport on Saturday afternoon for lunch, eating at Claudio’s Crabby Jerry’s where I got my first lobster roll of the season. The roll wasn’t buttery and toasty enough, but a meh lobster roll is better than no lobster roll.

I’m exhausted like you only are after a fun weekend in the sun with girlfriends, so I’m heading to sleep with the book I’m reading right now, Luckiest Girl Alive. It starts out like a million other chick lit books about women working in NYC but has some awesome plot twists.

How was your weekend? What are you reading right now?

  • Glad to know you had a great holiday weekend! That lobster roll looks delicious! My weekend was great, had a grilled party with my family and friends and as of now I am reading right now is Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity :)

  • I have to get back into reading and I too love a good chick lit light read. Most of them are so cute...I haven't been to Claudio's in a few years but it's a good time. Glad you had a nice weekend :)

  • I just finished that book this morning. Not as twisted as Gone Girl but definitely a good read.

  • Nice Blog!!

  • I love the Blue Canoe! I could (and have!) spend hours at their bar eating oysters and drinking bubbly. Greenport is so great.

  • Is your coming hiring nurses? (This is a mostly serious question.)

    Thanks for the book suggestion - I need some for those lay-in-the-sun days!
