For Sale! I met a real estate agent yesterday to talk about selling my house next year. She brought over some sale sheets of houses similar to my house. ” Cynthia, how much do you think I will lose?” Low and behold, I may make money! At the end of our conversation she threw in one caveat: ” barring we don’t have a bad hurricane .” That’s it, I saw the dollar bills in my eyes. I need to act fast. I will do a few cosmetic changes and as of July 18th my house will be on the market . I am not waiting through hurricane season. Jackson and I can rent during the school year. Hot damn.
Today I send Jackson to sleep away camp. I am always a bit sad when he leaves. I hate that they don’t allow cell phones. He is not allowed to call us and we can not call him. urgh But he always has fun. My little boy is growing up.

Thank you guys! I love my BMFs!

Fanfare done now Rot Rally is coming! We have a lot of traveling girls who headed to Nashville to work now they will travel to Austin to also work, some even meeting me in Vegas next week for the Calendar shoot. A long two weeks for the girls but I will make sure they have fun in Vegas.
I was just on the phone with Daniel. Of course the majority of our call was business but it always leads back to ” Lil I am scared of the triathlon.” Both of us were laughing. Shit, I have been swimming every other day and I have yet to swim 400 meters without taking a break. The tri in Destin is 800 meters in the ocean. Today I swam a total of 1000 meters. Saturday I swam 850 meters. But again, I take breaks or switch to different drills. Jackson and his friend Gabe swam with me on Saturday. Neither kid is a great technical swimmer but they never lose energy . We did 10 laps using only legs. I swear Jackson was like the energizer bunny . When he finished his 10th lap, I was only finishing my 6th. Gabe was great when only using his arms and no legs. I swam this morning at 6 am. By the time I got back home, I decided to take all my calls while in bed. URGH
I have a friend in New Orleans who is very similar to me in regards to goals and finances but we lead totally different lives. She always has friends over her house. Every night she is at a different event or at a party. She loves life. But she will call me and say ” force me to go running with you. Take me to crossfit.” She gets mad at herself for not working out more and eating better. I am the exact opposite . When I am not traveling, I wake up early. I am ultra dedicated to training , eating , and work. But I will call her and say ” you are so much happier then I am. I need to be more social.” Today I realized. ( talking to myself) ” Dumbass, you are goal driven. Make balance in your life a goal.” Ok that’s it! Fucking balance.

Jeremy just sent me a picture of his daughters. So sweet and so gorgeous. Enjoy it now before they are teenagers. All day. : Jackson did you take the garbage out? Answer: I don’t know did I? – Jackson is your friend having fun? answer: I don’t know. Is he?
This has been going on all day. ” mom I know why you can’t cry in space but you don’t.” I just deleted what I wanted to write. OMG. How many years of this do I have? ” Jackson you took the two dogs out for a walk. Why is there only one inside?” answer I don’t know . Is there only one inside?” The inner latin temper is boiling right now.

Tommy . Where is the triathlon onesy?

Recently a former Navy Seal came out as a transgendered person. No joke , this person looked good as a man and looks good as a woman. He hit the transgender lottery, so to speak.
This women tried to sell her kids on Facebook.”News reports that in addition to the $1,000 price tag laid on her infant daughter, Van Horn tried selling a package deal including her 2-year-old child for $4,000. Both children were taken into state custody.” So does this mean she put more value on the older kid? I guess that’s fitting. The older one is only 1 or 2 years away from being a viable revenue source. How old are kids in sweat mills? Or maybe the value is that the older one is potty trained? Sleeps through the night? Really trying to get a better idea of the price point per kid . ( of course I think that’s horrible .There are horrible people in this world. I wish more horrible people were stupid like this woman so they could be caught)
I woke up today with a mental warning ” watch out for Littlin”” Yes I actually had a boyfriend who would put that phrase as an alarm on his phone for my PMS. ” You didn’t cook the eggs the way I like them. You don’t love me. No I am not PMS.” God I hope I was never that bad. The first step to recovery is to know when its coming. lol Damn that transgendered person. I bet he doesn’t get PMS!

I can barely move. In the last few days I have done biking, swimming, crossfit, and running. My butt, legs, shoulders, and all in between hurt. I ran 2.5 miles this morning but I seriously don’t think I can do anything else. I just ordered the Coyote Ugly Bad Mudder F**ker dri fit shirts for our team at the Tahoe Tough Mudder!
For as liberal as I am the Obamacare health plan is seriously flawed. This is all we have been working on this week. Poor Jeff is seriously stressed out. Supposed to hit Miami but I think I need to stay home

All the calendar girls are picked! Let the fighting between Lee and I begin. I just booked my flight to Vegas and I already have 3 texts from Lee. This shoot, he is the head honcho! He can choose the locations, the types of shot. Even which girl for a specific shot. I just want to be the stylist. Let me look at the girl, figure out her outfit and makeup then it’s all on him. No more ” Lil how did the picture come out?” All Lee. The new more chill Lil is here.
4 years at sleep away camp and I finally threw away the suggestion sheet. My son literally wears the same outfit everyday only changing for swimming. He wont let them even wash his laundry. In fact most of it his clothes are clean when I inspect his bag on arrival. There is a moldy smell on everything but unused. I won’t fall for overpacking this year!
Oddly quiet today. Kevin is on a semi vacation and obviously after a few days in Hawaii, he was miserable not working and has been texting and even called. He is so out of sorts when he isn’t working he actually sent a text. ” hey send Ninja here.” That’s code for send Jackson. ” Dude you are with your girlfriend in Hawaii” ( she just moved there and works some days). Perhaps I found another pathetic soul.

My son’s first day at his volunteer job. ” mom , my responsibilities are speaking French and making sure the 6 year olds don’t get paper cuts. ” As long as its easy . lol. He rocked on his standardized tests. Please god or alien higher being, can he make a lot of money one day and take care of me?
Some very shady stuff going on that Daniel caught. Hmmm, you have to be on your toes at all times. Chantel and I are finalizing the calendar girls tonight!

My bedroom is inundated with flying termites. I told a friend this morning that its like living an episode of fear factor every night. I moved into the guest room last night. Who knew that the mattress in the quest room was so comfy?
Lee loves to show off his family, as he should . His wife Dre, is super gorgeous and incidentally kind and nice. They have been doing P90x and running intervals. He sent me a picture of her in a bikini. My first reaction was to gag because she is so perfect but then the lightbulb hit!” Lee, lets make Dre the Coyote Ugly fitness model and enter her in competitions. ” I have to do a little leg work but I think we can venture into this world. ( when I say we I mean her.lol)
On the other side of the equation I said to my Triathlon trainer ” all these tri shorts and cycling shorts make me look fat. ” his response ” I wanted to talk to you about that. I think you are eating too much.” Lol. I am not fat god damn it, just thunder thighed! Chantel and I do have the biggest boobs in the triathlon world. That’s a plus!

Hot damn ! Just read the Sunday night logs. Most of the bars did really well. Mama needs a new pair of running shoes!
Ok calendar time. Already have 2 girls picked now I need 10 more! I am on it.
So Daniel and I were too late registering for the San Diego Internation triathlon. Today I signed up Daniel, Chantel, Tommy and I for the Sandestin Triathlon. So proud of Daniel and Tommy for getting involved. About an hour after I registered the 4 of us, I receive a text from Daniel ” lil this is a lot farther then you told me.” To be honest I didnt realize that it was longer but we are signed up so that’s it we are doing it. ( since I didn’t realize it was quite a bit farther, I totally miscalculated our suspected finish times.)
The last triathlon that Chantel and I finished was a 1/4 mile swim, 13 mile bike ride , and a 3.1 mile run. The Sandestin Tri is a 1/2 mile swim, a 20 mile bike ride, and a 4 mile run. OK I just have to get my fat ass back in the water and also practice transitioning from bike to run. We have a lot of time to train. ( of shit. August in florida. LOL hot as hell. )

Last night the staff in OKC closed the bar down and sequestered themselves and the customers in the areas of the bar that they felt safest. The worry and the responsibility is so great. I spoke to Lizzie ( gm) today about the fear I have if something happens to anyone . There was a family walking around Bricktown with no place to go so the staff let them come in and ride out the tornados in the bar . I felt this deep responsibility for this child. It’s so scary. This is nuts. I am seriously thinking of postponing the anniversary party till we are a bit further out of tornado season. Not sure.
Last night I saw Daniel at the Coyote in New Orleans. He looks better then I have ever seen him. He is running every day and looks great. He is doing the San Diego International Triathlon with me at the end of the month. So Proud of him. The company is really on a health kick. I love finding out about employees making such positive changes in their lives. Running, biking, crossfit. Its inspiring.

My son’s dad came over yesterday when he dropped Jackson off. He told me that after he and Jackson left the game store Jackson asked ” why do those men working at the store look so depressed?” His response was ” cause they are 35 year old men working at a game store.”. Of course Jackson couldn’t understand the idea of anyone working at a game store being depressed . Jackson’s dad then said ” I know we have always told you to have passion for your job but if you are 35 working at a game store you will be just as depressed as them. Plus I will have to kill myself knowing you are 35 years old working at a game store.”
I woke up this morning to emails and texts asking if I am safe? I left on an early flight home from Oklahoma yesterday before severe storms hit again. So I am safe and sound. It’s so scary living storm to storm.
Jackson has 10 days before he leaves for camp. Little does he know that he is now my training partner and will be running, swimming, and biking. His school gave him a gift from Audobon Zoo for making the honor roll each trimester. He didn’t tell his dad and I that part of the gift was the ability to volunteer at the zoo. Poor kid thought he could just laze around all summer. He will be training with me in the mornings. The afternoons will be spent volunteering at the Zoo, library, and French camp. ” dude if you were old enough to work you would have a job this summer. Be thankful I am not sending you around the bars to help Kevin .”

Our Coyote Ugly Whisky just got picked up by a big distributor !
I am sitting inside the Delta Lounge in Atlanta waiting for my flight. My god I feel underdressed. What delta skymiles members don’t wear yoga pants and sweatshirts to travel? As the only laid back traveler in the Delta lounge I noticed that I was the only person who tipped the bartender . I must of scored some points for that !

Amber ( OKC assistant manager ) is on point. I just texted her asking what she was wearing tomorrow night. ” Lil I am already getting both of us Oklahoma Tshirts to wear that proceeds go directly to the Oklahoma victims.” How cool. Every bar across the country is having live news feeds to promote our Red Cross Tornado benefit ! Even Kevin called me tonight. ” hey homie what are you wearing tomorrow?” So exciting . It feels good to give back!
