” Leel ( lil) I wish I had patented the technology for a Yeti coola ( Cooler). ” ” Leel you could put your beer in that god damn coola for a week and it would never go Warm.” This is the conversation between Chantel, Schmitty ( one of the investors in the Destin bar) and myself. Of course Chantel chimed in. ” my husband tried to win a Yeti cooler through a radio contest.” I had absolutely no idea that this incredible cooler existed. I can make fun . In fact , most of America can make fun. But I believe in my heart that it will be the rednecks with the Yeti coolas that will survive after some apocalyptic event.
I texted my old boyfriend Trey immediately because in the past he would act as the translator in these situations .” Trey, they keep talking about Yeti coolers and that the name Angie is synonymous with white trash . Trey texted me immediately ” omg the Yeti cooler is the best. And Damnit ANGIE GET ME A GOD DAMN BEER.” I am always learning something in this business.
Sorry that I couldn’t make the Milwaukee anniversary. I feel horrible about that. But I couldn’t fit the Destin opening and the anniversary into the same couple of days.
Destin girls are very good looking and they have a fiddle player. Have to love that.
If the Yeti Cooler marketed a limited edition of the Mossy Oak Yeti Cooler there would be lines for days in front of Bass Pro Shop to get this cooler. It would be like the gas lines after Katrina. Damn I need to start red necking my thoughts to come up with something great!

We just received our official Tough Mudder start time and entry packet. Saturday April 13th, start time 11:20 am. Not sure how I feel about that. I do better in the morning . I hope the Death Valley sun doesn’t cause a problem . That’s right we are racing in Death Valley!
Kevin made our team name Coyote Killer. I was surprised because he is so vulgar most of the time . I was expecting The Ugly Enemas ( one obstacle is called the arctic enema) or Coyote Castration. So our team name is pretty tame by his standards. Lol
Something clicked today. Fuck it! I can do it! If I fall in ice water and get electricuted going through the various obstacles , so be it ! I can only imagine crying if I break my
Other foot or fall face first while running through fire . Perhaps a gaping wound . Actually now that I think about it, there are many things that might make me cry . But I am fucking finishing even if I am crying like a baby !
I will be in Destin tomorrow night . It’s only 5 hours from Nola and this will be my first time . Friday night will be my last drink before the Mudder.
Thanks Jeremy for making our Drifit TM Tshirts !

OKC and New Orleans had horrible nights last night. Painful .
The OKC manager’s log talked about ghosts in the bathrooms slamming down the toilet seats. Shit, even ghosts wouldn’t go in the OKC bathrooms! They are awful. They would haunt the upstairs or just veg on the gorgeous booths in OKC.
If there were really ghosts, why didn’t you do a haunted tour?” Lol always thinking of ways to generate business.
Headed to Destin Thursday for a Friday opening. Destin is a licensed Coyote Ugly Saloon. One of the owner’s Joanna can get wild. I need to eat a ton before trying to hang with her. Lol

Jeff: I am back from vacation so I have scheduled our Nashville call for tomorrow .
Me: I am still away tomorrow . Jackson is off this week.
Let me decode this conversation. Everyone always has to go around Jeff’s schedule . If his wife sneezes then he cancels trips and appointments but god forbid you actually want a life too.
Two f… Therapy sessions and every thing I do is dysfunctional. I keep going through everything she said as well as how I live and I realize she’s presenting me with a very dim picture.
I think I have a very solid relationship with my son. I don’t believe that is dysfunctional. Urgh.
My Romantic relationships : dysfunctional ( ok fine, maybe yes)
My shopping for shoes: dysfunctional ( really, they bring me happiness)
My eating habits: dysfunctional ( why? I eat a lot I just exercise to compensate)
My Exercising : dysfunctional ( because I don’t know how to relax and give myself a break) so the fat , lazy Lil would be healthier mentally ?
The list goes on.

This 14 year old girl is unbelievable:
WINTER VINECKI is an ambitious 14-year-old athlete who has been making waves in the sport of triathlon. Racing since the age of five, her competitive spirit has compelled her to be the best. By the age of nine, she found herself competing in an Olympic Distance triathlon; a distance usually reserved for seasoned adult triathletes. Winter initially had thoughts of racing as a means of bringing light to the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. This all changed in 2008, when after a series of medical tests, her dad, Michael, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer. The grim prognosis was met not only with sadness, but also with determination. Winter vowed to do everything in her power to put an end to prostate cancer and help find a cure so that other families wouldn’t have to endure the personal hardships that hers were going through. To honor her dad and race for her true cause, Winter founded the 501(c)3 non-profit Team Winter, a vessel for funding prostate cancer research and raising prostate cancer awareness on a global scale.

Since the passing of her dad in 2009, Winter’s determination has only grown. While maintaining a nearly perfect 4.0 GPA in Stanford University’s prestigious online High School, EPGY, she travels almost every weekend to races in which she, her three brothers and her mom, Dr. Dawn Estelle, spread the word about Team Winter and prostate cancer awareness. She runs a Team Winter booth at various expos and takes on speaking engagements at schools with “Winter’s Inspirational Talk Series,” all the while racing each race with unrivaled passion. Winter is also a two-time IronKids National Triathlon Champion. Each first place trophy she receives is sent to a person affected by prostate cancer as a means of support and a gesture of goodwill. While most kids cherish their trophies, she cherishes the people she gives them to. Today, the growth of Winter as a triathlete and Team Winter as an organization is exponential. But for Winter, it’s not about the attention. It’s about bringing vindication to her dad, who was given a death sentence in the form of prostate cancer — a disease that affects one in six men. She strives every day, sacrificing playtime and other luxuries kids her age take for granted, to ensure that she is doing all she can to bring an end to this tragic and all-too-common disease.

And if that wasn’t enough, Winter is the newest and youngest member to the the Olympic Development team for Aerial skiing, Fly Elite. She lives with a host family and trains year round at the Utah Olympic Park in Park City, UT. She is an Olympic hopeful for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

The bars did pretty well yesterday even with Easter. I think Daniel is finally going to pay up for his lost bet with Marsha on gross sales Rot Rally versus Fanfare last year.
In Park City with the kid. We went dog sledding this morning . Very cool experience .
I got nothing else. Waiting to hear the various April Fool’s jokes that will be played today.
As part of therapy I am supposed to do nothing and enjoy it. Why is that so hard or me? What does that even mean? Do nothing?
