I saw the Light!!! I just read an article about The Miss Rodeo of America Pageant. I have got to be a part of this. These incredible women must look good in a dress with a full face of makeup and be asked to jump on a strangers horse and ride like a master horseman. OH MY GOD, I need to sponsor someone! I can see the Coyote Ugly leather chaps next to the Coyote Ugly ballroom gown. I wonder...

Yes I am again painfully trying to pretend I am on vacation. Well today has been a parent's nightmare. The digital classes that Jackson signed up for have been horrible. In fact the classroom lost electricity most of Monday and part of Tuesday. So today I had him come to swim training in the Pacific with this coach. What a mistake.It was very cold today. About 65 and very overcast. The water temperature was 64 degrees which is fairly cold...

I had a ball at the San Antonio anniversary party. The whole staff was incredible. They had a Michael Jackson and a Dolly Parton impersonator. Fun. But I really enjoyed the dance off between one of the bouncers , Antwon, and one of the bartenders, Bounce. Antwon was good but Bounce schooled him. She may be one of the best dancers in the company . Outstanding. Marsha put her heart and soul into the anniversary. Chantel and Lauren , wow...

Anna from the NY bar was on the Andy Cohen show last night. Awesome. I think it aires on Sunday evening. My sister and I are scrambling to try and get things in place for my parents. I just erased the page long rant on the position they have left us in. This should be a time of peaceful reflection with my dying dad instead we are spending hours on calls with lawyers, collection agencies, and funeral homes. My dad...

Memories of being a floor manager. I just read some of Jess's ( Austin AM) frustrations with the girls .lol "1.Why are you standing still, and what are you starring at...or thinking about? Are you thinking about how packed we are? Wondering how many people need a drink and are starring back at you wondering if you even work here? 2.Are you a singer? Seriously though...do you think you are? 3.If you won't shake it for Luke Bryant, who will...

I went into my dad's office and brought all of their bills home with me. What a disaster. They have nothing. I can't imagine going into retirement with NOTHING! Bills upon bills unpaid. Married for 56 years and they have seperate checking accounts and all their bills are seperate. For god sakes , Jackson's dad and I still have a joint account for Jackson's school bills etc. They are a real life example of what NOT TO DO with your...

2nd Tough Mudder accomplished! We started out with 22 people on our team but because of the Kiev opening and injuries only 17 people showed up yesterday . ( and Mac missed 2 planes. I won't even speak about that ) completely different experience then the Las Vegas Tough Mudder. The terrain in Tahoe was brutal. The first 5 miles were up hill. We had to walk a lot of it because of how steep the inclines were. After about...

Tough Mudder race day! Yesterday our team started filing in. We hired a film crew to document our Adventure. We did pre race interviews yesterday. Omg I am still laughing from Jess' interview. It is going to be a rough day. We received the list of obstacles and the course route. The first 5 miles are completely uphill. I just stepped outside. It's freezing today. Urgh! I am now completely dreading the freezing water obstacles! Thank god our race time...

I woke up this morning to a text message from Daniel " you are the best boss on the planet." And a call from Kristina ( head bartender Key West) thanking me for choosing her to go to the Ukraine and telling me that she will see me at the Sandestin Triathlon. What a beautiful way to wake up. My new bar in Kiev rocked last night . And the beautiful words from Daniel and Kristina are heartwarming. Kristina took...

Lee: " I hope none of us get altitude sickness in Tahoe" Me: " I will bring my oxygen machine" Lee: " WTF" Me: " I saw it in sky mall. I couldn't resist." Daniel just sent pictures of the new bar in the Ukraine. My god its beautiful. They always do such a nice job. This is when I wish there was teleportation. Beam right to the opening. There is a forest fire somewhere in the vicinity of Tahoe....
