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 starches today for the big race. Fuck swimming. Chantel and I received our race numbers today and went to the briefing. Instead of getting back in the water I decided that the only course of action was to get a pedicure and buy some new running shirts. If all else fails, go shopping.

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 safety swim stroke. The wetsuit was so restrictive that I was not getting enough propulsion with my legs to do the breast stroke well. I feel totally deflated right now.
I need to regroup. Sunday is the race.
Heading to OKC on Wednesday!

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.

You are fucking kidding me!!!!!! Last night I went out with friends and had a bunch of wine. Like a responsible adult I decided not to drive home. This morning I went to pick up my car. From two blocks away I could see that there was no bike on the bike rack. FUCK!!! I borrowed my friend’s bike for the triathlon.FUCK!!! I even bought a new seat and bike computer for it. FUCK!!!I called her to tell her how sorry I was and that I would purchase her a new bike. FUCK!! I just went online to search for this particular bike. It’s $5000!!!! FUCKFUCKFUCK

Natural disaster doesn’t stop the OKC bar. They had a decent night last night . Daniel is trying to put together a national Coyote Ugly Charity drive for the OKC victims . I owe the staff a night out. Thinking I will go there next Wednesday and take them to the steakhouse next door to the bar .
I received my wetsuit today . On the rental form you have to write down your body type. I put Full figured. I just tried it on and tight is an understatement . Perhaps there should be a box entitled FULLER figure . It’s probably supposed to be that tight but it took me 5 minutes to get it off . I know that it’s supposed to be removed quickly so you can jump on the bike. They give you a bottle of Astro glide. I thought Astro Glide was a sex lubricant ? Lol well where the f do I put this Astro Glide for the suit ?

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 the deep worry sets in. Some very good people at that bar. Couldn’t be prouder.

OKC Staff Lizzie and Amber want to hear from everyone tonight and tomorrow . They are sending out our numbers so please check in. Be careful .

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 taken a 180. I spent years worrying about what I ate. In youth I would count calories, worry about carbs and stay free of anything that could possibly cause weight gain. Now I spend countless hours researching food that can provide me with energy to go further in these damn races. Nothing seems to work. I have tried complex carbs like quinoa and oatmeal. I have tried to get pre enrgy shakes and powders. I have tried energy bars as well. The only common thread is that when I eat anything 2 hours or less before working out I feel sluggish. Sunday the Triathlon starts at 6:30 am. I am going to need to wake up at around 3:30 to ingest something so I can perform at an acceptable level. Urgh.
Other issue. I am severely sea sick. I have gone snorkeling with my son and thrown up in the water from only moderate waves. Friday is my first ever open water swim practice. I had this horrible vision of swimming and throwing up simultaneously. Fuck it, I will do this thing even if I am wiping vomit out of my hair for days.

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 compassion to both .
The Dalai Lama is so unbelievably charismatic. Funny, charming, and truly intellectual. ” religion and prayer do not create peace and harmony. Awareness through education and action create peace and harmony. ” the translation . Praying isn’t good enough. Interaction with people. Showing love and respect for others no matter what race, religion or socioeconomic backround is how to create peace in your own world .
