You wouldn’t believe some of the news I’ve had in the past week. I really could not even make this stuff up.
I’ve had a couple life bombs dropped on me. And no, I’m not pregnant.
I’m not going to blog about it until a few things are finalized. Remember Blogging 105 and that some mystery and privacy are ok and just common sense sometimes? Well, I am taking my own advice on things for now.
For inquiring minds and not to alarm anyone, I am fine, my family is fine, things in general will be fine, and they seem to be working out, but I’ve been in major scramble and stress mode the past week. And that’s not going to change for awhile. Good thing I have never shied away from hard work or a challenge because life is about to get really crazy.
In an effort to keep things light and sunny on this holiday weekend, here are other things you wouldn’t believe:
1. I miss the Bravo Orange County Housewives
I finally watched all of my DVR saved stash of episodes from when we were in Aruba in May, but now that I’m done with those episodes, I’m in OC HW withdrawals! The OC ladies are my faves, followed by Beverley Hills, and then NYC/NJ/ATL/Miami are all tied my ‘like’ scale.
2. I have no parties that I am going to over the Fourth of July long holiday weekend. And I am more than okay with that! I have my hands full with other things anyway.
Good thing I have Red, White, and Blue Food, among other things, to keep me busy over the Holiday weekend.
3. You wouldn’t believe that I sometimes wear these boots at night here. In June. And now, it’s July!
I hate having cold feet and anything below 60F, I deem cold. And yes, this former Minneapolis girl has turned into a mega weather wimp.
4. You wouldn’t believe the sheer.amount.of.work. and insanity that is going to be the next 3 weeks or so of my life. I am still in shock. Deep breath.
5. You wouldn’t believe that I eat a huge bowl of popcorn with chocolate, coconut oil, nooch, and other toppings…
And
a dessert like a Magic Eight Bar every single night very late. Way past a midnight snack.
Or a White Chocolate Blondie with Peanut Butter Frosting in the wee hours
And I go directly to bed and sleep like a baby. For the next 5 hours. And then it’s time to get up and start my day and the next 19 hours ahead of me.
And no, I don’t worry about “eating late”, weight gain or any food rules about what or when I “should” eat. <–All nonsense to me anyway.
You may not believe it, but I do think fatty carbs, i.e. desserts, help me sleep and help me wake up feeling great. To each her own.
6. You may not believe that I wish I could use my minky lined camera strap as a blanket. It’s so soft. I wish I could!
7. You may not believe that the Mixed Berry Clafoutis is almost gone. Then again, it was really good and easy. I enjoyed hearing what your favorite fancy-tasting-but-easy-to-make recipes are.

Happy 4th of July Weekend to everyone celebrating and Happy Canada Day/Weekend to my friends to the north!
P.S. Enter my Shaklee Giveaway if you haven’t already. It ends with my first post of the day Sunday.
Wow, 5 hours of sleep! Yikes, I need at least 7 to get me through a day. I hope everything calms down soon!
You wouldn’t believe it but I just made a MAJOR life decision…one that comes along with about a million other decisions!
I hope whatever you’re going through passes smoothly. Although you just got back from vacation, it seems you deserve another one :-)
I love your purple boots and your camera strap. They are beautiful!! I too eat late at nigt. I wish I didnt , but I’m one of those eat junk food and watch tv. I was raised that way and I’ve never stopped. However, it’s never affected my weight. I believe a calorie is a calorie like you said. I hope the whirlwhind you ar about to face turns out for the best! You are a def a Superwoman! You always seem so positive!! Anyways, you wouldn’t believe that I eat half a gallon of ice cream in 3(sometimes 2) days!! Have a awesome 4th with Skylar!! She is precious!! :)
Hey hun – hope everything turns out ok for you!! *sending positive vibes* :)
I love to hate to love the RHOC ladies…I can’t believe grown ass women act like them…but I can’t look away!
Averie, I really hope everything is ok!! I often find myself saying, “ohhhh, life!” Because it’s honestly how I feel most of the time – life throws you crap and you gotta deal with it. If it helps, you’re a inspiration to me!! You seem to have a lot figured out and planned out. :D
I’m praying everything works out for you!
Life can truly throw us for a loop sometimes, but we can make it through. :)
Averie I hope things are okay – and whatever it is I know you can handle it and you can put things into perspective. You focus on the positive and that’s what gets you through (and why we all love you!) :D
you know my email, if there’s anything I can do, even just a friendly chat! XO
Well I hope your life bomb is a good one and either way I wish you all the luck and strength in the world in dealing with it! :) Keep on keepin on and everything will turn out well in the end! You wouldn’t believe it but… I’m still in my pyjamas… no joke… its 5:04pm! Oh and I love the real housewives too! :)
The suspense is killing me…at least you said everyone is fine! Sounds like you’re moving again or something else major.
I hope everything is ok and hand in there! You always handle things with such grace and you have so much support out there!
Awww! I hope everything works out for you, and I am sure it will because I know you are such a strong person! And I am sure all of your tasty treats will power you up for each day ;) Just take one day at time.
Hang in there! Lot of love.
Hey love! Im hoping you are ok, love ya and thinking of you! Sending good karma!
I am ALWAYS cold! lol! It is summer here, and I still rock my sweats at night, love the boots!
Hope you have a relaxing day today even with the chaos you have going on! xoxo <3
Sorry things are a little chaotic for you and your family right now. I know you are such a strong person and have already handled so much, so well in your life, and I’m certain you’ll make it through whatever is thrown at you now. :) I’m always hear if you need to vent or talk!
I’m such a weather wimp. Living in WI my entire life has not changed that fact one bit. Those boots are ADORABLE and I’d totally wear them in the summer too!
i was a wimp in mn and il and am an even bigger one now.
thanks hon for your support, truly. always. your comments ALWAYS brighten my day. thank you. so much.
xo
I understand wanting to protect your privacy. I hope you and your family are all okay. I’m thinking about you.
Most people are surprised to find out that I also watch the housewives. The OC ones are my fave, too. So much drama.
yes we are fine, just lots of chaos at the moment :)
xox
I know what that’s like. Glad to hear you are all okay :-)
I hope all is well, averie! I hope that these changes turn into something positive…even if that’s not the expected end result. Take deep breaths!
Be well,
Lauren
awww, thanks hon :)
