Redbull has paid for Daniel, Kevin, and myself to go to Nepal for this race. My equipment has just started coming in for the race. I am spending a lot more then I have been alotted. Urgh. There are the obvious purchases involving cold weather running gear, new shoes, a sleeping bag. But yesterday I recieved my solar charger and my solar charged head lamp. I am awaiting my medical kit, my polartek mid level running pants, salt tablets, water...

Yesterday a bunch of us were resistered for the Lake Mead Triathlon. Chantel and I dropped out so we could head home and see our kids after a long week away. Daniel, Mac, and Tommy still competed. I received a very upset text from Daniel because he and another competitor had found a man in the water nonresponsive. They held the man up for what seemed like an eternity before a rescuer came to help get him out of the...

What an incredible seminar. Daniel, Tommy, Lee, Chantel, Marsha, and all the other managers did an excellent job. I learned so much. There was one point that Tommy was giving an excel tutorial and I realized that for years I have been doing the equations the tedious way. Of course Chantel speaks up " Lil taught me how to do it so I have been doing it the long way for 12 years." Lol Well it might be the long...

In Vegas for our annual Coyote Ugly managers seminar. Last night we had our first exercise. Interesting what they come up with today about last night's observations. 17 female managers here and 6 male managers. It's been a while since the women outnumbered the men! I am taking all the woman out for wine. Tonight. Today will be a long day of accounting, human resources, and legal workshops. But I am excited. I learn a lot as well. Now let...

What's worse, running a half marathon when you feel like crap or walking into Saks and asking for the gas masks you left there? Well on a good note I ran the first 6 miles incredibly well for me. Then last night's steak, sweet potatoes, chocolate and wine were spinning round. I did the first 3 miles in 27 minutes. Pretty good for me since I am slow. I got to 6 miles in 57 minutes again pretty solid ....

It's always Chantel! So yet again I am signed up for a race. Doing the Jazz half marathon tomorrow. Well after her and I met and picked up our race packets I took a detour. I stopped at Canal Shops and went shopping then low and behold Judy was available to hang out. I just drank three wines, ate a steak, had sweet potato au gratin, and had Chocolate mouse. I feel like complete crap. I am supposed to run...

There will be no mother of the year award today. Jackson's school trip was today. Last night he was so worried we would be late. Pestering me " mom I want to be there by 6:30 am." Of course I said. This morning, I couldn't find my keys. His sleeping bag was locked in the car. Had to call someone to pick him up. I will say this, while I could tell Jackson was very concerned , he never lost...

Got my camelbak backpack that I have to start training with. Got my thermal compression pants ! Nepal is only a month away, getting ready. Very positive day at work. Things are coming together on many fronts. I need a bit of a Spanish refresher class. I received an email from the people in Mexico in Spanish. It took me three tries to translate it properly .

Beer pong is not my forte. One of the potential licensees challenged me to a beer pong game. Let's just say that I did not win. Loved bands playing in the patio. Going to miss fantasy fest this year. Heading home today. Can't wait to crawl in my bed.

1 year anniversary party in Key West. I flew straight here from San Diego so lets just say my wardrobe reflected the cool weather of SD. Heading to anniversary party in combat boots!! My attitude is that I am so cool, I can easily pull it off! KW assistant manager quit yesterday. Our new GM expects results and hard work. When we brought Beto to KW I said to Daniel " how much do you want to bet that The...

Holla! I better go play lotto things are looking good. I think we nailed the San Diego deal! We booked our trip to Nepal! And I just got a perk at the hotel in La Jolla. My son, myself, and my son's dad have interviews at a private high school in San Diego. I took an early morning flight while my son and his dad are catching a later flight. At check in they give a complimentary bottle of wine....

" Lil, I nailed all the negotiation points on that contract I have been working on!" " Awesome Daniel. Is there a reason why you thought it prudent to call me at 3:20 AM to talk about this? " While I am happy that he just saved the company a lot of money, everyone knows I am the loser who goes to bed early. 3 am calls are reserved for fires and emergencies. Come on!! He did get us this...
