Hot Damn we made the Wall Street Journal!!!http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20130524-909635.html?mod=googlenews_wsj When I started the company, I had been in the NY Times, Time Out Magazine, GQ and about a dozen more magazines and papers. My father never acknowledged anything until I was in the Wall Street Journal. All the previous accolades meant nothing but the Wall Street Journal was finally something he could be proud of. LOL. " Well Dad this is a twofer for Coyote Ugly" OK allowing myself to eat...

Chantel and I had our first open water swim today. I was very scared. The waves were hitting us while we swam and it was very disorienting . I left the water with a real fear of drowning . We wore wetsuits, although the water was warm enough not to need them. The wetsuits make you more buoyant but its very restrictive. When I would start to feel disoriented I would go immediately into the breast stroke . That's my...

Oh god! I am sick. I just received an email from one of my lawyers with a link. http://www.wjhg.com/home/headlines/Parents-Leave-Kids-in-Car-to-Drink-at-Coyote-Ugly-Saloon-208668711.html Is it true that any press is good press? Oh god this disgusts me! I can't wait to fall asleep so I can wake up to a better day.

On the rental form you have to write down your body type. I put Full figured....

As of a few hours ago all employees of COyote Ugly Saloon OKC were accounted for. I have had a sick feeling all day. Nice to know that the bar is providing shelter for some and has been a rendezvous for people tracking other people down. I am hoping that tomorrow we will know more about people's families and homes. There is so much pride knowing that each bar is its own little family but its days like today where...

Woke up today and went straight to my manager's logs to find out if the staff in OKC was alright. I was shocked to see that they actually had a decent night. The Dalai Lama said that natural disasters do not discriminate by race, religion, or socio economic status. He's correct. I will wait today to make sure our staff is safe and secure. I have a fear of tornedos. Not enough warning before a tornedo happens. My life has...

I opened my eyes to wonderful sleep and a beautiful morning. THEN I checked my phone. 4 texts from a " special friend." The last text being " hey pretty girl, I just got kicked out of your bar." The internal cringe. Really? I am dreading talking to the GM of that bar. Thank god its not New Orleans. This special friend is not that type of guy. Ok WWDLD? What would the Dalai Lama Do? He would say show...

Rushed home last night because I scored tickets to see the Dalai Lama at the UNO Arena. I am getting more enlightened by the minute. I am very excited.
