Battleship, Picking Strawberries, Boats, and Goats...

So the last few days were pretty relaxing and I got to spend a lot of time with my boyfriend.  On Thursday Matt took me to Fish Tales Bar and Grill in Hatfield, Ma.  I've always heard good things about this place and it's known for their fresh seafood so I've always wanted to check it out since I love seafood

   

Inside is defiantly different than what I expected.  It's more homey than what I imagined it to be.  We sat at the bar for our dinner because that's where most of the people were and it seemed more fun.

We both had Bombay Sapphire, tonic and cranberry and shared the stuffed mushrooms to start.  I ordered the grilled swordfish and Matt had fried clam strips.  Everything was very good and really fresh.  On Wednesdays they have a triple lobster special for $19.99!  I will be defiantly back for that!

  

After dinner we went back to Matt's house and played some Battleship outside by his pool.  I enjoyed some tequila and seltzer and got lucky enough to win TWICE! :)

 

That night I had just a tad too much to drink but it was nice to relax and have the night to fun.

 

Friday morning was a little rough but the hangover subsided after being outside in the gorgeous sun for a bit and after a dip in the pool. 

 

 

I had to work per usual on Friday but Matt met me at the country club when I got out.

We rented the movie Patrick from RedBox and watched it at my house.  Strange..but good movie.  I like those scary but intense kinda movies

Saturday I had to work again but went to Matt's to stay after.

The next morning when we woke up I looked at the clock and it was 10:30!  I couldn't believe I slept so late but I obviously needed the rest. 

We decided to go strawberry picking!  We googled some pick-your-own places near him and came across Lakeside PYO Strawberries in Hadley, MA

 

They were delicious! I picked an extra box because my Dad wants us to make a strawberry rhubarb pie..YUM

 

Later in the day we met Matt's parents at a marina in South Hadley, Ma because they own a boat docked there.

 

 

It was nice weather and not too hot so it was really relaxing... I could do that everyday.  We enjoyed drinks and some cheese, prosciutto, salami and crackers on the boat as we sailed down the river.

After the boat we got dinner at a country club up the road (I had a grilled shrimp salad) and then icecream (a small maple walnut..ooops bad but so good) at McCrays Farm.  On the way out we noticed how many animals they had and you could feed them!

 

 

My favorite was the llamas they are soo cute!   The animals were so excited to get the food and they were so gentile when they ate the food from your hands. 

 

Welp that was my weekend!

Until next time!

Soooooo should I be icing my legs perhaps after a workout?  Maybe I will try a bag of frozen peas...somethings gotta help this pain!  Yesterday I worked my Bis and Back.  It went pretty good but there was nooooo way I could do any cardio...oh well...

Anywho...  I took the boys outside to play a little after work and before the gym yesterday...here are some pics of the cutie pooches :)

Enjoying the shade - Zack didn't stay out too long cause it was too hot for him

Ha Cody waiting patiently for me to throw the ball

It was soo nice out

 

 

 

So I joined this new website today Called Influenster

 

I am still not completely sure how it works but I know that people can get items to review on their blogs!  I am excited to check them out and get started!
 

 

Speaking of trying new things....
 

 

I am really wanting to try 2 products that ive heard a lot about..

The first one is:

The 3D mascara by Younique - You can purchase it Here

I am skeptical about the mascara because it seems like a lot of people on social media are getting to try this for free..I am just hoping it's as good as everyone's saying it is since it is $29!  But the reviews make it look like your wearing falsies so perhaps its worth it?!  Maybe ill splurge and try it out..

 

 

The second product is:

St. Tropez Bronzer found Here

I have heard a lot about this item and always wanted to try it out.  However, I have tried out soooo many different self tanners and EVERYTIME I get either too orange, have streaks, have splotches, get an allergic reaction..things just get messy...So I haven't really had a good experience with a fake tanner.  The other ones I haven't tried are: Million Dollar Tan and Flawless Fake Bake which I am also curious about...

 

I guess that's all for now..

'Just keep swimming'

 

 

House of sweat, Pretty Little Liars, and Thunderboomers...

WOOP WOOP! I finally went to the gym! And WHEW it felt really great.. I really do love going but sometimes it's so hard to get there with everything that's been going on!  I worked on just legs..I did most of the leg machines, squats, dead lifts, and then the elliptical for a bit...

 

It wasn't my personal best burn but I also didn't want to over do things right off the bat since I haven't been in what...?....a few months...badd girl

 

I also wanted to be able to walk today and not have to crawl on the floor haha...I am not as sore as I thought I would be..don't get me wrong I am sore just not crying...yet.... I guess I should knock on wood because its usually the 2nd day where my legs get soooo sore after a workout....I am sure I will be complaining later...

 

After I got home from the gym I made a nice salad and sat down to watch my favorite show!

 

Pretty Little Liars!!... I am so obsessed with that show its not even funny.  I love it!  It's soo addicting and theres ALWAYS something happening to keep you on the edge of your seat.  It usally so overboard that things like that CAN'T possibly happen...but it does on PPL.

pic

Ugh I love everything they wear too!

 

The only bad thing about going to the gym at night is that I can't fall asleep until late and I have to get up at 6am every morning for work.  I know I was going to be so exhausted in the morning so I took a Melatonin.  Seriously these are a life saver!  They make me get so sleepy and fall asleep right away...

 I was in such a nice deep sleep until around 2am I woke up in a panic!! There was a wicked lightning storm!

pic

I jumped up at the loudest crack of lightning I thought the whole house was shaking.  Every time that happens I picture the tree outside of our house bursting into flames from it....but no it was just my imagination...

 

Welp I guess I should get back to work now...I am excited to go to the gym again tonight and get back in the game..

 

 

 

 

 



 



A Nice Dinner At The Marina

So last night Matt took me to the Marina restaurant in Brattleboro, VT since it was so nice out.  You can sit outside on the deck and it over looks where the Connecticut and West Rivers meet.  We both ordered martinis and got the spinach artichoke dip with pita bread.  I ordered the grilled salmon salad and Matt had a tilapia sandwich.  It was all very yummy!

Dirty Vodka Martini

Grilled Salmon over baby greens, peppers, and tomatoes with a balsamic dressing.
(I forgot to take a pic before I flaked the salmon up lol )

They always have these weird funky napkins with crazy designs mine had dolfins

Here is  the view as we were leaving

We also caught a little squirrels stealing some food from the dumpster

Until next time Marina!
