August 13, 2012 10:14 pm Bravo…
Hi friends. Summer has really been flying by so fast, and I hope that everyone has been enjoying it. We’re wrapping up our time at the Jersey shore this week, so I’m going to make this brief. I don’t want to spend any more time than I have to at my computer and miss the best time of year here!
Talking about the shore, did you all catch the view of Half Moon Bay in California? How silly did we all look getting ready to surf? We were clearly out of our element, and wet suits are not my thing, but thankfully we had them. We all got tossed around by the waves, but I was determined to do my best. I can’t believe the rush you get when you get up and ride the wave. It was exhilarating and very gratifying. Lesson learned: It’s never too late to try something new; try it and surprise yourself.
I hope you all enjoyed watching us have some fun, even though there were some sad moments. Unfortunately that’s the way life is, but that was a year ago, and it’s true that time does heal.
Next week we go to the incredible Lancaster Estate and get a tour of their vineyard and enjoy some of their delicious wine (well a little more than just some). Let’s just say many bottles were uncorked, and we’ll leave it at that.
See you all next week. Rich and I are off to the beach with Victoria and Joseph. Only two weeks until Victoria starts college, and Joseph is back to school as well. Time is precious, enjoy it while you can!
As always, you can catch up with me on my website and through my newsletter atwww.kathywakile.com, on Facebook, and Twitter @KathyWakile, @RichardWakile, @VictoriaWakile, and @JosephWakile.
Lots of Love,
Kathy xoxo




Really Froggy??? Why bother?
Whoppeee
Damn she is getting more and more like Caroline, No?
EXACTLY. I think this ” We’re not going to even acknowledge Teresa anymore!” thing is a concerted effort by the Gruesome Foursome to present a united front to Bravo.
Yep! Swear in the begining of the season they all used the same freakin words/ phrases ‘ planting seeds/ reading between the lines, watch and see, etc. So many times it seemed to me thet got to together to plan this. LOL. I think they are all pretty transparent !
Are all 4 of these arseholes ( MeGo, Chuckie, ComaKathy, Jacko) down at the shore together ? Ya might be right Guilty, it does appear as a group thing.
That’s what I was thinking. Usually Froggy’s blogs are pretty long…boring, but the same reference to being at the Shore and just not having time to devote to her blog..puh-lease. Get your own story Froggy.
Mehhh. Not so much.Difficult to accuse Kathy of any original thought. Wonky likes leftovers. Her blog is just a re-hash of Cliffords. Cookbook? Pretty sure Teresa wrote one first…and second …and third. I’m intrigued tho. Is it possible Richie is one of Tre’s rejects. Hmmmmm
omg yes!!
Wondering if someone told them to tone it down? But in fairness, Victoria is getting ready to go off to college and that is huge life event for the family. So I won’t judge her small blog and will wish her well on sending Victoria off! That is where her priorities should be. (Gosh I said something nice about Kathy)
She wants to skin her and wear her like last year’s Versace.
lol good one
That’s odd I don’t believe I saw Kathy master the surfing… much less be exhilarated by riding a wave… now Tree, on the other hand, at least hitchhiked a wave or two. Dang it Kat, foiled again.
It’s Teresa’s fault, she sabotaged Kathy’s surfing and kept all of the good waves to herself.
That’s ‘cuz she is so competitive and all. She doesn’t want anyone else to be successful, according to her supposed BFF at the time.
OMG that is funny….:-)
I think they both get at least 5 seconds or so up (unlike the men) — I think they both did a great job trying to surf. But agree not mastering
Right. I reckon I just didnt pay any attention to Kat because it seemed like the camera focused mainly on Tree. But good thing we have these Bravo blogs so Kat can let us know she did it too.
OMG Made you crack me up! The cameras did focus on Tre but the “ladies” all focused on Kathy!
Cathy had all the nj housewives attention,none cheered for T.It was all bout Cathy when T did so well.
Teresa got a lot of positive feedback from all of us for taking the high road during the last year while the rest of the gang were giving her the smack down, now they are trying (copying) the same tatic. To late.
I just hope she can do the same at the reunion… Hope she has a long meeting with her PR team before it happens!!
kathy and her husband there going broke trying too keep up with trying too not look like there poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are crazy…..shes to old to try to be anyone but herself! Stop coping Teresa.
I don’t buy her I’m so nice act. Too late. They have all shown their true colors. What has changed is that the viewers weren’t suckered in. They got alot of back lash and now the new tactic is..look how sweet and fun we are. Thank God the viewers were able to read between those damn lines.
It’s so delicious how their own tactic backfired so bad on them.
wonder where Victoria is going to school
I bet its someplace good. I bet she could get in anywhere she wanted. That is IF the “reality” portrayed about her being a good studious kid are true. I am hopping so and I hope she gets to go away to college.
Its weird that they are not saying where
Most schools require that they stay in the dorms the first year. So, she will get her taste of freedom even if she is close to home.
Hope so but “freedom” was not what I was getting at for her. She just needs to get away from her abnormal family.
Wouldn’t you call that freedom?
I feel bad for her b/c shes very ugly……But nothing like her family,she seems wise and that she has heart. I she her at William P,Rampo or even Felican they all have great nursing programs.
I think she is an attractive young girl and seems very secure and grounded considering her family.
Really? i dont see it ,maybe im wrong. She just has these crazy eyes that make her look high and her smile. I know i sound harsh but its really what i think. i still wish the best for her.But really who shops in Garfild ,NJ. Thats where she got her ghetto dress for prom.
She plans on studying nursing. I shop in Garfield,NJ. She seems like a nice girl. And…that’s what I think.
The fig leaf or something like that…..I am sorry but im in my mid-thirtys and they still have stuff in there from when i was in high school.Its just not me.Its kind of a hike from where they live as well,and i thought they had $$$.All the places in Jersey…. Garfield/Lodi not a hot spot for dresses.Food maybe dresses no.
She’s going to William Paterson which is in Wayne where they live.
Dear God. What about GOING TO COLLEGE do these gavones NOT understand?
I can’t remember where, but I thought she was going to Community College? Not that it’s a bad thing, but I don’t think she was leaving home.
Victoria said she was going to school close by. Don’t know if she will live in the dorm or at home.
She could be going to William Paterson…..
I read on her twitter that she was going to school close by also. She said she could not name the school yet. She said she will be studying nursing, wants to be a nurse practioner. Anyway I wish her well.
Hopefully OUT OF STATE! so she can escape the tragic fate of the manzaloid kids.
She’s going to a local community college so she won’t miss out on camera time of course..These people were supposed to be on a show about their lives and now they have made their lives about the show. If you need an example just look at the Manzo “kids”. Pretty soon we’ll see Victoria tagging along on the trips and functions with mommy’s friends etc so she can ear her now adult Bravo paycheck
Shes fugly like mommy she should try and stay out of limelight,people will rip her apart.Shes no Gia.
Is she 18 yet? I believe she is since she’s starting college….Jo, I think she beats out mommy in that dept because she has big gums like her daddy. She seems kind of slow if you ask me but then again I’m judging that from little airtime. I know she had a brain tumor when she was little. She does seem like a nice kid.
I think she is very pretty and smart and I applaud her going to school to be a Nurse Practioner I know some great ones its a rewarding occupation.
I agree Lisa.
I agree. Her own medical history will also serve her well. Having been a patient before will likely give her the tools to also be very comforting to patients, especially children.
Little Richie looks like he’s sucking out Kathy’s soul in the main pic.
Wow your husband sends back woman to the early 1950′s and YOU let him. What a lazy guy. When watching him delegate duties all while you narrated how Vito and Gregg’s were his “bitches” brought me back to the christmas episode when he paid men to string christmas lights and you and the kids decorated the tree! Guess that makes you and his children his “bitches” 24/7 365 NO?
That is just terrible ,just terrible!What a lazy f*ck.No way he runs a buiness.
Does this woman have any original ideas in her head? From copying Caro’s blog to naming her deserts after family members (after Tree did so), I don’t know how someone so unintelligent in marketing herself can be so calculating against Tree…Oh well, I guess she’s just following the lead of the other three on that too! WHoopsie! I guess she should just stick to the script that Caro gives her..or else we wind up with desserts named after her husbands……uuggggghhhhh!
It really annoys me when a housewife writes a pitful little blog and then cites lack of time as their excuse. This is her job. She gets paid a large chunk of change and therefore taking 30 minutes to write a blog shouldn’t be stressful. She doesn’t work outside of the home and she isn’t chasing after little babies although an argument could be made that her husband acts like a toddler who just “discovered himself”. She isn’t being asked to write a graduate thesis just a short little blog about her own friggin life. Although since Kathie isn’t the brightest bulb maybe typing this up took her a few hours.
