All is right with the world when my son is back home. When I saw him walk up to me at the airport I immediately recognized his pure joy. Joy for being back home and joy for being able to tell his dad and I all of his exploits on his adventure at camp. While I noticed that he was possibly the greasiest, dirtiest kid in the airport , I also noticed as I leaned in for a hug that there were objects in his hair only grown in petri dishes. yuck. ” Jackson those can’t be your shorts . They don’t even fit you.” ” I know mom, I dropped my bag in the lake the first day and borrowed these shorts.” ” Jackson you wore those shorts for 2 weeks straight.” ” Yes” I am triple washing all of his clothes. Everything is so disgusting . I can’t get the mildew smell out of anything. All worth the happiness he has in him and the happiness that is back in our house. I love my little boy.

Lauren from San Antonio right before her calendar shoot! Yup I have to wear glasses once in a while. It was odd that I would have to take my glasses off to look at the photos. When I would wear them all the colors seemed muted.

Chantel, Lee , and I were just joking around at this point during the photoshoot. I like to call this our “Dusk till Dawn ” shot. We had been working for 12 hours and it was 110 degrees in the heat. I think we were a bit delirious!
Ok did Zombie run this morning. It was fun. It was my friend’s first time ever running a 5 k. She did it! Jackson gets home tomorrow from Sleep Away Camp! I miss him so much

What a funny evening. My friend was on a casual date. One of those, I’ll meet you for a drink dates. She calls me up and asks me to stop by to help break the ice. So I stop by. We sit at the bar. I am on the end, she is next to me and her date is at the end. This guy comes to the bar to order a drink and introduces himself to me. So we exchange names.
Boy: ” Do you want to come to my house?” Me: No we just met. Boy: ” OK well I already know we are going home together so I guess I am coming to your house.” Me: Sorry I am doing the Zombie run tomorrow and have to be up at 5 am. lol Poor guy tried everything. After he left he looked so dejected. Almost pitiful. We were trying to wager how old he was. I am thinking 24? Our highest guess was 26. I guess I’ve still got it. lol Now if I could just have “IT” for the right guys.
Doing the 5k Zombie run tomorrow. I signed my friend up as well. Let’s see if she shows up.

Redbull took us out for dinner in OKC. Kevin order the Kobe Steak, $240. Daniel and I were mortified ” Dude that steak is $240. I can’t believe you ordered that!” Surprise surprise . This is why Kevin gets yelled at every month for his expense report. image

Heading to OKC for the 4 year anniversary!
So I was reading on the Perez Hilton blog about Kristen Stewart hanging out at the CU in Memphis. Mac our GM texted to tell me that Kristen Stewart came to the bar. What catches my eye in the Perez Hilton blog is that he claims that the bar was going to close early. WE NEVER close early!
Ok 2 days back in the gym. I feel so much better. What’s interesting is that this was the first week in possibly a year that I took off 2 days in a row from exercising due to the hectic calendar shoot schedule. Yesterday when I woke up I felt pain free for the first time in so long I can not remember. Maybe my body is telling me something.

Went to the gym. Bam! Went and got coffee. Bam. Checked my emails and walked straight into a mirrored wall. Bang!!!! I can’t be cool all day. This man walking toward me and this woman walking behind me both lowered there heads after I smacked into the wall. I swear they were more embarrassed then me. I just started laughing. Its the moments of vulnerability that keep you humble.
I am waiting for Lee to show up and and show me some of the photographers images from the shoot. This was a great experience but it was a ton of work moving to so many locations especially in such heat. It was over a 100 degrees both days. I feel so dehydrated.
I feel a glass of wine is in order.
Tomorrow I will be at the OKC bar!!!

My god the girls look gorgeous . ” Lil take a picture with us.” As a woman , I feel ( and Chantel concurs) that taking photos while you have no makeup on when the girls are in professional makeup and bikinis simply makes you feel ugly and fat! Lol

Lee, Chantel, and me ! This is our 8th year as the calendar production team ! We are bouncing off the walls. Such little sleep but this will ROCK!

” Miss Lovell do you need another set of keys for your room?” ” Should I put another guest’s name on your reservation? ” ” perhaps tomorrow another guest will need a set of keys for your room? ” Finally my answer ” Sir, if I get lucky I will let you know. ”
Our first meeting with the photographer and his team in 1 hour! Fun

Happy Father’s Day ! I called my dad . My mother answered and I had to convince her that Father’s Day was today and not next week. Jackson is always at sleep away camp during Father’s Day so I called to make sure his dad had a nice Father’s Day . Men are so much different then women. I expect a card and some well thought out gift or a special event planned. Jackson’s dad was very matter of fact ” I know the kid loves me and its too hot to do anything so I am fine about him not being here.” Ok but don’t ever think I am cool with just that.
I spoke with my 17 year old nephew today. His Russian girlfriend dumped him. ” Aunt Liliana, I am a very good looking guy so the girls will be lining up.” Hot damn don’t hate the player hate the game!
Heading to Vegas today for the 2014 calendar shoot.

I tried to take yesterday off. As I was hiking up a beautiful mountain I received calls from almost every member of corporate. Jeremy , t shirt guy, even called me. ” Lil I promise I won’t call unless its an emergency.” A Tshirt emergency? Really? Lol
Please oh higher being let the calendar girls show up toned and fit. It’s a bikini calendar , there is only so much photoshopping we can do. Of course I get a call from Lee yesterday. ” Lil , Monday morning I will pick you up at 3 am to drive to the shoot location.” 3am? What the fuck! The photographer wants to shoot at 5 am. Please girls do not go out drinking on Sunday night! I will freak out if someone doesn’t show up or shows up looking like shit!
Rot Rally in Austin! I thought for one second I should go but I thought my health needed a little sunshine and less bar time.
