I hope you all are enjoying a bug-free, long, holiday weekend!
For anyone who’s gotten bug bites or who doesn’t have a long weekend or who’s not on holiday, so sorry.
Please console yourself with one, or more, of the following:
Dark Rum Caramel Sauce for all your seasonal fresh fruit ice cream that you’re going to be eating today
Nutella & Peanut Butter Graham Bars with Chocolate Frosting (No Bake)
And if none of that works…
Break out the Buttery Nipple Shots
Bailey’s is a great source of comfort, so I’ve heard.I’ll be back later on with a Firecracker of a post.
Don’t forget to enter my Sticky Giveaway
What are you doing to celebrate today?
Are you off work? Did you have a long weekend? Did you pick up any fresh bug bites this weekend?
Anything you need to console yourself about?
I’m smiling, the sun has been shining, I’m not scared of hard work or what the future may bring. Things are going to be fine.
Happy 4th of July!
Yum! All of these treats look amazing! I have today off, but I don’t have plans. No 4th of july parties for me, but I’m fine with that :)
We will be with a BIG group of friends by the ocean. I must get time away from my computer! Have a great one girl :)
your comment reply to me re your biz cards…I never even saw year #2 with the asparagus torch. Oh I want to now!
Have fun w/ your friends by the ocean!
I’m pretty sure those peanut butter nutella bars would divert me from thinking about how itchy any bug bites are :)
Independence day was July 1st here in Hong Kong, so I’ll be missing out on the july 4th festivities this year, but it’s okay because I enjoy reading about other peoples fun times!
lol on the bars/diverting your bug bites.
and you live in hong kong…didnt realize that.
another reader just told me she lives in norway…
I love all you intl ladies who read! :)
I should say that you live internationally but still make time to read my blog…thank you :)
Happy forth!!!! We went to watch fireworks last night, (they spent $25,000 on them and they were amazing for a small town!!!) and i only got 2 bites on the back of my knee before i had a chance to put some bug spray on. My sister gave my dad this awesome bug spray fan that you can wear and it keeps all the bugs away!!! Its only a few inches big and it worked to keep all the bugs off of four of us!
I’ve totally gotten several bug bites this weekend :(. Hopefully a movie, cookout, and fireworks today will console me!
Very glad to have the day off. I’ve been needed a 3-day weekend in a big way. Today I plan on trying to relax (a few errands, but mostly relaxing). We’ve had a very busy, but fun weekend so today I need to just chill (in the pool) ;-)
We (obviously) dont celebrate 4th of July in norway. But Im off from work today anyway :D And Ive had the best start to the week ever: Yoga class, amazinbg eats, home spa and soon a nap and a run, and then wine out with some friends! A perfect Monday :D
Have a great 4th of July Averie :)
dont know why i didnt remember this, but had no idea you lived in norway!
we’re back to normal up here in canada…although many people are starting summer vacations – i’m not one of them, however!
“…a Firecracker of a post.” – > i know you love photography, averie, but your plays on words are what i love a whole lot!
“…I’m not scared of hard work or what the future may bring. Things are going to be fine.” -> thinking of you; i find myself in a similar boat, and it DOES help to take a deep breath and look on the BRIGHT side!
enjoy your 4th of july celebrations!
glad you like my little word plays. the next post will help it make sense :)
and i hope things are okay with you! stressfree and calm!
Yum, Baileys is delicious! We pour it over our vanilla ice cream with espresso!
I want to make every single thing on your menu! Happy 4th!! :)
Those peanut butter squares are calling my name. They really, really are. Come to think of it, I think the Magic Eight Bars are too. How odd…
Yes I’m off work! I’m actually making some guac right now — and this afternoon we’re off to Jason’s mom’s house for a big family BBQ.
Have a great holiday Averie!
I drool every time I see the pictures of the peanut butter squares. I’m making some for my dad on his birthday in August.
I never work on Monday, so the Y being closed today isn’t that big a deal. Today’s workout will be jump-rope in the living room.
Rob has the day off. We’ll celebrate with omelettes when he gets up, then probably some yard work. We’re skipping the fireworks show, since it starts so late and we both get up early tomorrow.
It’s supposed to be over 100 again, so we’ll probably laze around and read all day.
Holy fabulous food!!! I am such a sucker for all things guacamole!!!
Have a great holiday!!
I’m one of the lucky ones who rather than be on holiday, has worked friday, saturday, sunday, and monday! I think the best consolation would be the Magic 8 bars :) Happy 4th of july to you!
