went to montauk to hang with my friend (since 6th grade!) gillian…had such a good time!
panicked only a little (or a lot!) when keith was swimming in the VERY ROUGH ocean with strong tide. was so nervous he’d be lost at sea!!! (yes i’ve got issues but you know that already!) lots of surfers on this beach in montauk. i don’t surf!
met some of my friend gillian’s friends who were all SO welcoming and fun.
and one of them, matt albiani, published "lifeguard on duty" (all photos of HOT lifeguards) it is a beautiful book.
although i don’t have pictures of dinner, gillian’s boyfriend lee cooked the most delicious dinner- and he has promised to send me recipes that i will share. (and i think another person took photos, so if i can get them i’ll post later).
we were 10 people and he made: salad with lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, avocado, watermelon, corn, and a bleu cheese dressing. (almost all vegetables came from their garden)
he roasted corn and put a butter sage sauce on it.. i heard it was awesome (from keith) but i didnt eat the corn.
lee made seared tuna with some sort of soy based sauce, he cooked shrimp and scallops and topped with a little old bay seasoning, and a super yummy coconut rice with thai basil.
seriously, dinner in someone’s house with cool friends and great food is the best kind of night.
then, of course, the younger people went out clubbing till 3am!!!! obviously, we did not.
but i was up until after midnight..which for me..is WAY late.

Awesome Jenn..I too was a ta friends house in Montauk…They didn’t feed me quite as nice as your friends did!!!
Jenn, listened to Friday’s show yesterday re: your anxiety. And again on your blog you talk about being anxious cuz your husband is in the water. You are not enjoying your life. Your anxiety is running your life now. You definitly need to be on one of the SSRI’s. LOW DOSAGE so you won’t be a zombie. I had same kind of anxiety for 20 effing years until I finally took something. But only half of what was prescribed and the paralyzing anxiety is gone. I am not a zombie, nor did I gain weight nor did it change my personality. For the sake of your kids, your marriage and your own mental health, you should listen to Alexis, listen to your doctors and get on some meds. You can always wean off if you don’t like it.
hi, jenny! you are so cute! lvoe the shades! hope you wore sunscreen this time! LOL LOL. love ya, amy
Jen, your hair is absolutely gorgeous.
Glad you did something fun to keep your mind off things!
Hugs to you!
Jennifer….out of the 4 comments on this blog…..3 were telling you what to do..when to do it..how to do it ….I wonder how people would feel if they were on the receiving end of some of these comments??
Hey Ya Jennifer!
Lookin like the Sun may burn ya you are a fair skinned redhead after all..
I saw Martha on the craft show making stationary..
oh yes …
looked so fun!
You and Alexis have to make fun of that one! LOL,,,
Seems every weekend I’m reading about somebody drowning in one of our local lakes (Michigan, Great Lakes). I’m not sure Jennifer worrying about Keith in some pretty rough water is that irrational at all. Cautious maybe.
Chill out, people – its just typical Jew anxiety. They all have it – its part of their culture.
What fun!!! It warms my heart to hear you are enjoying your summer. You deserve it!!!
I can’t wait for the recipes. I’m particularly eager to try and salad and corn ones!

Jennifer…your great spirit is shining through, again. nice!
Avoid the meds. Of course, you are anxious; it is a crazy world. You are a wife and Mom so you worry. This is not abnormal. You don’t need to numb yourself and change the way your brain functions. You suffered a great loss when your Mom died. Everyone has issues and everyone has advice. This whole country is overmedicated!
Worrying about your husband swimming in rough surf isn’t irrational. Swimming in rough surf can be, though. I was at the beach over last weekend and some dude started waving his arms and yelling “HELP,” and had to be rescued by jetskiers. Advisories against swimming that day were all over the place. A few years ago my friend’s husband (great swimmer) went out to help their son who was struggling in a riptide. Son made it back, dad drowned. It happens all the time – enough that concern about it is more than sane. If you’re going out in that stuff and you don’t have a blowhole it’s a good idea to have a leashed surfboard or boogie board.
I drove out to Montauk several years ago and the drive and beach were really nice, even in the rain. You are right about having dinner at someone’s house and good friends. thxs for sharing.
The only thing I miss about Long Island is Montauk. I love it best in the fall when there’s nobody there but the locals and the seagulls 🙂
Glad you had a great weekend, good friends are wonderful.
Jenn, Try L-Theanine. All natural for anxiety. None of that ssri crap.
Jen
You are truly a wonderful person! although,i do not know you personally,Your kindness and love for friends and family comes through!
love you! will get the recipes from lee i promise! xx
Youre fine………….dont take the meds…..your kidneys and liver will suffer in the long run. Just get lots of sleep and eat the right foods.
wow . . . you look absolutely fabulous! Good Job!
Yes, your hair looks great but you are too old for that long of hair–give it a try and see what you think…it will always grow back!
OMG Jenn! You have the most beautiful hair!!!! Every photo your hair is stunning (the haters can suck it)… i’m so jealous. :))
I am an avid reader of your blogs and I am so glad you and your family are having a great summer. How is the garden doing? I am sure you will be busy with getting the kids back to school. Take care. Keep being the wonderful person you are.
Jen you look adorable and also look like you are having a good time….Continue to do that in life with you and your family! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
I have pics from dinner and will send along, but unfortunately none from our tutorial… It was an awesome dinner and better company. Awesome hanging out.

What a nice weekend. Thanks for sharing your story.
If you get a sec, I’m dying to see the family garden… With all the rain, has it become unruly or is it manageable?
Love your blog and your picture is adorable. Sounds like a perfect time at the beach. Good for you.
Jenn…wish I was there to massage sunscreen all over your sexy body.
I would have taken you to your friends bathroom and gone down on you so good….make you scream your head off then give you back to your hubby.
You are so hot!!!!!
