Past Lil Spills

December 31, 2012

Today December 31st 2012 all hell broke loose. I had asked two managers to get something done for me a few months ago and at the last hour it fell through. I am kicking myself for not handling this myself.
I just got off the phone from my Park City broker and it seems that I lost the property that I was working toward with mortgage broker.
Oh well. Lets turn a negative into a positive . While I was in San Diego I bought 4 dresses from the Betty Page store. I had scheduled myself to wear one of them at a special event,time and date to be determined. Screw it, I am wearing it tonight. I need to change my mojo by midnight!
Happy New Year.

Bars did alright last night. I want to shout out to one of our investors Kevin Bo…. He has been researching new spots for Coyote and doing research on tools used in locating new spots. Really good job Kevin. Nice work. He is presenting us with a space that we may do a completely different concept . How fun.
Going back to Nola tonight.

Lee just made my day. Jackson and I were joking around, ribbing each other. I am not sure what Jackson said but Lee turned around and said ” dude your mom built a $40,000,000 company from nothing . You could learn something from her.” Wow that made my day . Nice to hear one of my peers , both personally and professionally , speak of me so highly. ( the company grossed more then that this year. LOL)
So nice to be with friends and kids this holiday season. I am so grateful today for being surrounded by so many inspiring people professionally and personally! 2012 was a good year. If Jackson keeps moving in a positive direction and if the company keeps moving in a forward motion then the only thing I will add to 2013 is sex and love.

The cycle is spinning out of control! Exercise, eat, exercise, eat. God damn Harry and David presents. The holidays are killing me. Urgh. A crossfit friend said ” it’s very hard to eat a semi nutritious meal during the holidays.” ” dude your body is somewhere between Channing Tatum and Michael Phelps. Gain a few pounds so the rest of us feel good!”
Is grabbing a glass of wine to curtail the sweets bad? Urgh

Hot Damn! Lee , his wife and family are meeting Jackson and I in Park City after Christmas. Jackson’s dad, who’s a writer in the writer’s guild, just gave us all the lastest movies to watch while we are away. He gave us The Hobbit, This is 40, Zero Dark Thirty, Flight, and about 6 more great movies!! ” Tell your next wife that we will welcome her with open arms if we can still get the perks.”
Oh Christmas. My sister wrote me a text that my dad was on a breathing machine while power drinking. Not Norman Rockwell but I do love the white trash elements.
” Mom there are 3 rules to women. 1. Always be nice to them because you should always be nice. 2. Always be nice to them because they may turn hot when they are older. and 3. Always be nice to them because they may surround themselves with hot friends.” He’s said this before but obviously someone imparted this on him again this year.
Happy Holidays

This is hysterical. As a liberal I love the craziness of the right wing. So amusing.
LONDON (AP) — Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for British CNN host Piers Morgan to be deported from the U.S. over his gun control views.
Morgan has taken an aggressive stand for tighter U.S. gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting. Last week, he called a gun advocate appearing on his “Piers Morgan Tonight” show an “unbelievably stupid man.”
Now, gun rights activists are fighting back. A petition created Dec. 21 on the White House e-petition website by a user in Texas accuses Morgan of engaging in a “hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution” by targeting the Second Amendment. It demands he be deported immediately for “exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.”
The petition has already hit the 25,000 signature threshold to get a White House response. By Monday, it had 31,813 signatures.
Morgan seemed unfazed — and even amused — by the movement.
In a series of Twitter messages, he alternately urged his followers to sign the petition and in response to one article about the petition said “bring it on” as he appeared to track the petition’s progress.
“If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?” he wrote.

Thanks to OKC, Nola, NY, and Key West. Great Sunday! Memphis was painful. What riding a mechanical bull isn’t considered holiday celebrating in Memphis?
It just hit me today. This is the first year in many years I have no boyfriend and no New Years Eve plan . Plus Jackson will be with his dad that day. What to do?

The only reason I can think of for the disastrous numbers all across the country is that most people were in their apocalypse bunkers and didn’t head out to one of My bars. I don’t think , in the history of the bars, that have I ever seen a Friday night that had numbers so god awful. Painful.

Today being the last day of the world I did a few important things. I exercised. I refinanced my house and my niece and I had a great spa day. Now a good meal with a nice wine enjoying my offspring and niece. Good way to go out. ( jackson doesn’t feel showering and shampooing is essential for last day activities . Fine go out stinking and having greasy hair).
Nashville bar started selling Coyote Ugly Whiskey! So exciting

Back home. Took an ambien last night and slept 7 hours. Woke up today feeling a bit better. Just looked in the mirror I seem to have hives all over. The body can only take so much.
Today my son hit a milestone! All by himself he carried our Christmas tree in the house. I love that kid!
My niece arrives in town today. I set up spa appointments for us tomorrow. I can expect a voicemail from my sister in a few days “God damn it Liliana. Now she will expect spa days from me.” My only niece, I have to spoil her.

Sorry New Orleans for missing the staff Christmas party.

Bam ! With a bit of persistence I just got my credit score up to 763!
Today I received an email that I moved from a Delta Platinum Elite Skymiles member to the Diamond skymiles member. Don’t know why but I feel proud of my new Diamond status. A lot of work went into those miles. Heading to LA tomorrow.
So sad about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I can’t even imagine what some of those parents are going through.

My friend and I are in Park City, Utah. Last night we went to a local bar in town. two brothers came over to speak to us. One was a financial analyst who was recently separated. The other brother started a foundation in India to save Children. As the conversation progressed the foundation brother said ” you guys should come to India and help out.” I said ” how about we skip India and save some kids in Bora Bora or Paris.”
That didn’t go over too well.
I learned a few things from that moment. 1. I am not a good wingman. 2. People who save children aren’t very funny and 3. Maybe I will research charities that do run out of exotic places like Bora Bora.

” mom can you sign my test?…. Aren’t you going to say something ?” ” jackson, you got a B in your best subject. I’m not punishing you for a B but I am certainly not going to jump for joy.” That was last night’s conversation. A Graded B in a subject that he struggles in would warrant a congrats. But not in his best subject when he has received As all year. Urgh
Last year the conversation would of ended with, ” you are right mom. I will try harder.” In the teenage years the conversation ended in ” mom you don’t care about anything but As. I don’t know why I expected more from you.” I held my tongue after that comment.
This morning is a new day. Today on the 12th of December my son exceeds me in height and weight! Excellent .
Trying to get a mortgage. My god they are putting me through the ringer.

Reality is at the library! Jackson asked to be enrolled in an art class specific to comics. The class is held at the main New Orleans library. And he is by far the youngest student in attendance. I am sitting in the library reading while I secretly ( not sure how secretly) look around at the cross section of people. What I see and what actually is may be different. But my interpretation of what I see is graduate students and the homeless. There are two gentlemen sitting at the table next to me. Looking a bit disheveled. I overheard one of them telling the other that he is not looking forward to getting back into the cold weather . I would assume they spend their day here reading , staying out of the elements until the library closes and then they have to go back outside and find alternate shelter. Reality hit me in the library! Yesterday I was living the dream, driving someone’s Maserati feeling cool but today I am at the library seeing the lives of regular people. Very humbling. It’s the Holidays and it is a time for giving. Nothing more empowering then giving to others so I will give.

Today was a first. I have a friend who has some money. People with money know people with money. That being said she was driving a friend’s car. ” Have you ever driven a Maserati?” I didn’t say this but I am not sure if I had ever seen a Maserati before today.( movies and print ads being the exception) Not only did she let me drive it but I got pulled over on the highway. I learned today that Maserati’s have built in police jammers. So the car automatically jammed the policeman’s speed gun. When he pulled me over I was wondering what his charge would be. ” No front license plate”. He then started asking us questions about our education and work titles. ” How can you afford this car?” I just dont give off the money aire because he immediately turned and asked her the majority of the questions even though I was driving. LOL I got off with a written warning.

The Comicon people told us that it would take a full week before our photos with The Walking Dead cast were downloadable on line. I just imputted our ticket stubs and low and behold I am 50 lbs heavier and a different ethnicity. My son’s picture as well is no where to be found. Annoying. I will say that the woman who supposedly is me, while a bit chunkier then me, seemed very happy.
Bars did alright. New Orleans and Nashville had Santa pub crawls. When I get some pictures I will post.

Possible outcomes for this evening didn’t seem to pan out. In fact I left the anniversary party to take one of the Memphis girls back to her hotel after she got kicked out of the Nashville bar. In the cab she was hysterical crying. I tried to calm her. After I dropped her off the cab driver started hysterically laughing. ” Really your her boss?” Lol. So we both chuckled the rest of the way home.
Nashville happy anniversary. I hope this doesn’t sound conceited because I know I am usually very hard on myself but I looked good in the corset. ( half an hour to put that thing on) I couldn’t breathe or even tie my shoes but it was well worth it. I got quite a few compliments. I guess the running is working.
Interesting stuff from the psychic
As I am now in my hotel while my staff is still partying. Have fun . ” marsha see you at the spa!”

Had a ball with the girls last night. I am truly blessed with great people around me. Thanks Miami, Marsha, and Katie. This is my query . How can I go to bed by myself but wake up with sex hair? I think the universe is trying to tell me something.

” So , what your saying is that paying down my credit card bills to zero every month is hurting my credit?” Unfucking believable. My flight is delayed. Been sitting at the New Orleans airport for hours. Excited to go to Nashville.
The US Embassy in India sent us some possible investors. My understanding is that they have a program to promote Indian investments into American companies. Pretty cool.
Last week a friend brought up a song To me. The song is called America by Deuce. It’s so powerful that I am thinking of doing a choreographed number to it. But it’s really political in nature so I am worried about the implications of the lyrics. We are an international company now. I have listened to the song a hundred times and there is one line that just bugs me. I don’t know . I have to think about it.
No jinx but LA and NY renewal are moving forward.
Kevin called me today whining about his medication making him loopy. ” dude you have been shit faced drunk the last few times I have seen you . How is it any different?” Poor Kevin. Well in honor of you, I think I might get shit faced drunk tonight. Feeling restless. Hanging out with my girls tonight.

A friend called me tonight. ” Lil would you be willing to be my date for a big work party formal? Also can you pretend your not liberal? And can you pretend your Christian?”
So what your saying is that I am supposed to look pretty and keep my mouth shut? ”
” well my boss found out that I knew you and wanted me to invite you. So you can be funny But not about politics or religion. Oh and also don’t speak about environmental issues.”
So I am supposed to look pretty not speak about any of my beliefs but entertain your boss. Very geisha. Sorry but I think I will pass.

Hitting the Nashville anniversary. Going to take out Katie, Miami, and Marsha tomorrow night. ( when I say I am going to take the girls out. It will be on the company card. In fact it will be Marsha’s company card. Its tradition for the low man to use their card. lol) Girls night. Kevin always seems offended by this but too bad he cant come. ” Please Katie, only wine.!” Let’s just say that the last time I went out with Katie, I was not in stellar shape.
I was telling a friend about doing pushups and having to lie flat on my chest with my legs not touching the floor. His response was ” your not really flat on the floor with those boobs. ” No shit I swear they keep getting bigger.

” Jackson, I swear Norman Reedus ( Darryl from the Walking Dead) gave me “The Look”. Say hello to your new step dad” lol. Jackson thought I was delusional. But I wasn’t . I know “The Look” when I see it.
We got to sit in on a question and answer session with the actors who play Darryl, Shane, and Merle. They were riding the line between severely hung over and getting wasted again. Merle was hysterical. He had a bottle of Makers Mark at the table. Funny as hell. Shane was thoughtful and humble. Darryl was somewhere in between. Great bonding experience.
Side note, I bought 2 gorgeous corsets. Who knew that you could find cool , sexy clothes at Comicon!

What the Fuck! Key West was one of the worst bars according to sales last night. Fucking worst check average in the company. How many fucking times do I have to say to fucking stop pushing body shots and merch when it’s slow. Alienating our customers.
Go OKC! Great night. Go Memphis. You guys rock! NY bar rock steady! Bam. And of course Nashville and San Antonio with the big numbers.
If I didn’t mention your bar , it means you sucked too last night.
Ok peace and tranquility.
Getting ready to meet the stars from the Walking Dead. Please I hope a jackson doesn’t expect me to go in costume!

The Nerd in me has come out. Tommorrow I am taking Jackson to Comicon in New Orleans. It was expensive but I got us two VIP tickets to meet Darryl, Shane, and Merle from the Walking Dead. We get to ask them questions and take pictures with them. What a cool bonding experience for Jackson and I. I just started letting him watch the show a few months ago. Both of us are glued every Sunday to the new episodes. What the hell do you wear to one of these things? No I am not going to dress in costume! Awesome so excited. Darryl is my favorite . I feel lik a kid!
