The San Diego bar is sponsoring a child from the Make a Wish Foundation. He’s 7 . His name is Colby and he has Lymphoma. OMG He is so adorable. When I get the Website info I will post it. This child is sweet. Makes you realize how fortunate most of us are.
Jackson has been certified as a coach through the Special olympics. He is drawn to the kids with Autism. I can’t tell you the happiness in his heart after a night volunteering. They are mostly autistic kids . He has such pride when they can communicate . My kid has a good soul.
KW staff joining the Key West triathlon!!

November 1st The San Diego bar started a 30 day get in shape challenge for the staff. Everyone has until Friday to give Dinesti a Before picture. At the end of the 30 days the person showing the most improvement via their before and after pictures wins. Mac and I also threw our names into the hat. Our side bet: which one of us can have the best abs in the 30 days . Honestly it will be easier for him since he’s a man but I think I can define more and hopefully that will help me win. Let the games begin!!

Wait shit Thanksgiving !!! Fuck!!!

Having a ball at the Key West Anniversary. So great to see Kristina , she looks so healthy .

I just received this from Daniel ” Lil I want you so bad. No one will know. I know I am not big but I make up for it in other ways .”
Not enough penicillin in the world !!
(That’s for Cassie)

San Diego crushed all the bars! It wasn’t even close . Austin coming in second . What a night ! I am on plane heading to Key West for the 2 year anniversary . Fun .
My new house in San Diego was a mad house yesterday with Halloween. We went through 15 bags of candy . I took an hour to help jackson with his makeup . Gets a little more complex when they are older . He was at the door handing out candy . It was so lovely to see how many kids in the neighborhood know him from school . As a mom it made me happy.

How is it possible for a person to be a triathlete and be scared to ride a bike? I am absolutely petrified to ride a bike. I train using a kinetic trainer in my house and only ride the bike outside during an actual triathlon. This week my new coach made me ride Fiesta Island with the clip ins. I could feel an anxiety attack brewing. That night I sent him an ” I think it’s best if I quit ” letter. Of course he talked me off the ledge. Today my neighbor has asked me to ride. I am flipping out right now. I hate being clipped into the pedals. ” Lil we will ride to Fiesta ” My response : ” No there are cars and hills” She thought I was joking. Nope . I am going to force myself to do this but I already texted my coach and said expect another ” I am going to quit ” letter. This is horrible. I am completely petrified!!

What on God’s Green Earth would make people want to come to the New Orleans bar on Halloween for a promotion called ” Black Magic Cowgirls?” What exactly is it? Why would people drag their asses from Bourbon St ? Just to see the girls wear black and cowboy hats? The food ? The drink specials? There are girls working all over Bourbon St. The specials on Bourbon are equal if not better then ours. SO What could we do to make people leave Bourbon and Come to us? THINK OUT OF THE BOX!!!
Today has been a disaster at work. Opening log after log of mediocre. Thank you, San Antonio, Denver, San Diego, and Austin for not being so bad that I get worried that I have to start bartending again. I bet I could walk into these bars and bartend a shift , Not getting on the bar once and ring in more then some of these girls. ( No don’t start asking me to). I cringed reading these logs. Picture the scene: Its Tuesday Day around 4 pm in OKC ( just picking that off the top of my head) There are 3 people in the bar because people haven’t gotten off of work yet. You go into the bar just wanting a drink maybe even some conversation and the bartender comes over to you using a mic ( even though you can hear her perfectly well since it’s dead) and she tries to get you to buy merch while screaming on the mic. As you can imagine , that customer wants to leave. Not only did that customer just want a drink and some chatting but now they are getting yelled at on the mic by some loud girl.
Let me guess I will now be getting an email from Daniel ” I have told the managers not to do that. Lil we haven’t done that in a while. ” Yeah right.
Believe me New Orleans isn’t the only boring Halloween party flyer. Does every flyer have to be some hot girl in a school girl outfit? My god get original. I told them at the manager’s conference to do a true ” Coyote Ugly Contest” Have the prize go to some guy and girl that people vote on that you would actually chew your arm off as not to wake them up from a poor sex decision after a night of drinking. How funny would it be if the girls came with buck teeth, pot bellies, pimples. And the guys show up with balding toupees, bad teeth, Dip hanging from their cheeks? That would be awesome!! No one has the guts to do it!

How is it possible that my son is 15 today? It seems like yesterday when he was little and running around the house.
Key West having a big week! I love that.
Yesterday Daniel calls with Tahnee in the background . I could hear them both chuckling ” Lil we need your birthdate for this form.” Sorry not giving out my birthdate. And for the record Daniel ” Let’s see if you look half as good as me when you are my age.” Urgh just pissed me off.
I will arrive in Key West on Saturday evening. Hopefully no urgent care visit after my trip like last time. Who knew I was allergic to sand fleas?

My head is pounding!! I blame Justin the new guy. What I remember ,well, is going to dinner , eating and having some wine. What is fuzzy is the shots of Coyote Ugly Whiskey back at the bar . I did 38 push ups and lost a bet to Mac. I danced on the bar to get girls dancing. As I am writing this I remember laying on some guys back while he did pushups. ( I think). ” Justin you better find international licensees because right now you are not my favorite person.”
NOVEMBER 1ST starts the SD bar’s challenge to get fit. Whoever loses the most weight and gets the most fit wins cash. I don’t really have to lose weight but I will try for the 6 pack. ” Let’s do it. Dinesti NO BREAD!”

Hugh Hefner in KW!!! I am so jealous. That’s a living legend right there. A Pic with Taboada, KW AM Right now KW and San Antonio are the only two bars performing this week. Tomorrow is Daniel’s birthday. hmm

This is from Jasmine, our Denver AM to Daniel our Director of Operations. This truly made my day!
Thanks…
