I am grateful for the Pop a Lock company. At 5:40 am, Jackson and I were Locked out of the house. No house keys no car keys. Oh and yes I could see them on the counter through the window. Urgh Yes we missed our flight!
Now the positive person says ” you missed your flight for a reason. The universe is realigning your situation. ”
The negative person says ” I am a fucking idiot! The universe needs idiots to balance things out ”
Now I am on the phone with Delta . The Delta agent seems to concur with the “idiot” theory. Fuck!

I am grateful for Marsha . ( Regional manager) Marsha works so hard. She’s always a professional and I enjoy her as a friend. We are going to the spa before the San Antonio anniversary!
OK TOMKATE. Yes Katie Holmes filed for divorce. Tom Cruise has been married 3 times. His first wife Mimi Rodgers said that they divorced because there was no intimacy. ( nice word for they never had sex) The guy is gay and he is so immersed in this Scientology stuff that Katie Holmes had to break away from him. Supposedly there is a support network in scientolgy that helps gay men turn straight. Obviously it didnt work for John Travolta and I doubt it will work for Tom Cruise. These guys are already big stars, why not just come out?
These are my personal opinions . I catogorize Scientology in the aame category as Mormonism.
The Church of Scientology is one of the most controversial new religious movements to have arisen in the 20th century. It has often been described as a cult that financially defrauds and abuses its members, charging exorbitant fees for its spiritual services. The Church of Scientology has consistently used litigation against such critics, and its aggressiveness in pursuing its foes has been condemned as harassment.Further controversy has focused on Scientology’s belief that souls (“thetans”) reincarnate and have lived on other planets before living on Earth, and that some of the related teachings are not revealed to practitioners until they have paid thousands of dollars to the Church of Scientology.
The founding of Mormon:
Smith said he found the plates on September 22, 1823 at a hill near his home in Manchester, New York after an angel directed him to a buried stone box. Smith said the angel at first prevented him from taking the plates, but instructed him to return to the same location in a year. In September, 1827, on his fourth annual attempt to retrieve the plates, Smith returned home with a heavy object wrapped in a frock, which he then put in a box. Though he allowed others to heft the box, he said that the angel had forbidden him to show the plates to anyone until they had been translated from their original “reformed Egyptian” language. Smith dictated a translation using a seer stone in the bottom of a hat, which he placed over his face to view the words written within the stone.[3] Smith published the translation in 1830 as the Book of Mormon.
Really. One religion was started by a science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard. You have to pay the church to be enlightened . And since you really are an alien from another planet your payment helps you to become closer to your true roots.
Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormon religion. Claims to have translated religious plates by using a stone placed on his head. Come on people. I mean really?
I wont even get into Mitt Romney.
The other side. If believing that paying a church to find your alien self makes you happy! So be it! Good for you. And if believing that some guy could read rocks , dictate rules that guide you ( men can take many wives) and that Mormonism is the only true form of Christianinty helps you sleep at night. Good for you.

Yesterday I was grateful for Chantel. So nice that her and her husband showed up for Jackson’s play. His dad and I have no family here so it was so nice that they came to the play on their date night when Chantel is 2 weeks away from giving birth. Thank You!

Today I am thankful for TK. ( Nashville head of security) I woke up today with his submission for the Coyote calendar. Great way to start a day when you see TK in a sexy pose aspiring to be the first male month. I see him as July with a red white and blue thong.

OKC anniversary party tonight. So sorry I couldn’t make it. I just couldn’t risk missing my sons play! Have fun and take scandalous pictures of Daniel, Lee , and Kevin so I can post them!

Yesterday grateful for Daniel. He’s a very hard worker. Today I am grateful for Jazz New Orleans. She is doing the best job in the whole company with the concierge program! You rock Jazz!
Reading the book “50 shades of Grey.” My first thoughts are”damn it, who has sex that often!” then I think back to my twenties and think” damn it I had sex like that. What the fuck happened? “

Happiness advantage: for 21 days I will be thanking someone From our bars for their work or something that they have done that is wonderful. In emails thus far I have thanked Tommy for always working above and beyond his job requirements thanks Tommy. Yesterday I thanked Will, who is part of security in New Orleans for making me laugh and keeping me informed.
Today I want to thank Lizzie, GM for Oklahoma. ” Lizzie I know we don’t speak that often but I want you to know how much I admire you for moving up from AM to GM so effortlessly and for making the bar a family. ( a family that produces money every month!) thank you.
We will all go out after my son goes to camp! Holla
After the seminar: Daniel seemed very happy that Kevin tipped over in his kayak within 1 minute of getting into the kayak. Also he was thankful the seminar was over cause while he s happy, his happiness is a direct outcome of his grumpiness to others.
Kevin is happy because he was able to pretend to e interested in the seminar but he could secretly revert back to being a pessimist.
Lee seemed happy because he enjoys learning and it was a beautiful place.
Jeff seemed happy that all these years of his wife doing similar techniques made him an expert on the happiness system
And I was happy that after 14 hours and 3 planes to get home I landed to an incredibly funny email from Will and a call from my son ” pick me up mom”
My gratitude: I am freaking incredibly happy that my AC works!

I won! I got upgraded and Daniel got the back of the plane! Lee, Jeff, Kevin, Daniel and I are going to a weekend seminar called The Happiness Advantage” . Watching Daniel go to the back of the plane was sheer happiness for me!

One of my dear friends and Coyote NY regulars passed away last night. Dale Todd had been fighting cancer for a few years now. I hope he is now at peace. If there is a heaven Dale is playing darts and drinking beer .” And Dale if you can hear me, yes I will let you raise the dart lights just a little.”

Urgent news! Denzel Washington is training at my sons boxing gym. I have to start training there. So what I stink! I need to see Denzel in person . My god he was blessed with some good genes

Last night a fire started at Rio Rio the restaurant next door to Coyote San Antonio. The fire department had to evacuate all of our customers as well as theirs. The fire started in their upstairs bathroom which is adjacent to our office. So scary because Marsha, Tawny and Berto ( I think) were in the office. I am so glad that everyone is safe. I wonder if Someone started the fire. Regardless very scary!
How does my 12 tear old son have a mustache and 3 chin hairs? Really. Pimples facial hair, a new voice. Where’s my little boy?

You never know what form of emotion you will have during PMS. I am definitely suffering right now and the emotion has manifested in a odd fashion. A woman eating a Cinnabon is driving me crazy. Every bite ep, shoveling the food in. I am angry and disgusted. I know that’s not right but it’s how I feel

Prettiest staff Memphis has had in years! They did ” walk this way” better then all the bars! Kudos to Katie! Memphis anniversary party last night. Went out with Mac the GM and his girlfriend Jenn for dinner then headed to the bar. I watched people on the mechanical bull last night. It appears to be going super slow. But they all said it was still hard to stay on. One day when the bar is closed I will ride that bull. I will conquer it!

J: “mom A.. Asked if I am going to the sock hop and I said yes”
J: ” mom she wants her mother to pick me up and drop me off”
L: ” whoa. Ok Jackson are you considering this a date? ”
J: ” no”
J: ” mom she’s asking if I can meet her outside and go in together”
L :” this one is crafty. Again Jackson is this a date?”
J :”no”
L :”then tell her no worries you will just see her inside”
J :”mom, her mom wants to meet you”
L : ” oh boy”

“I feel better now then I ever did when I was younger”. That’s a goddamn lie. Two days at Rot Rally and I am freaking exhausted. I just started the Mediterranean life style . Fresh veggies. A ton of fish. I am marinating everything in fresh herbs. The doctor today told me that she thinks I should go back on the Beyaz birth control . All I hear is negative about this birth control yet a doctor is telling me not to worry about that . What’s the answer?
By the way, the staff was excellent at Rot. Managers worked hard. All very good.

Marsha and Daniel had a bet about which bar would do better this weekend, Austin or Nashville. Daniel rooting for Austin and Marsha rooting for Nashville. The loser has to make a video talking about what a loser they are and the other person is so much better. If they are only using Friday and Saturday numbers, I think Nashville out performed by a mere $500. Daniel was working hid butt off in Austin trying to get people into the bar.
