So saddened by the catastrophe going on in Houston and the outlying areas. None of the Coyote bars have had damage. But we spoke yesterday about waiting out the next few days then heading to Houston to Volunteer.

Busy week in Coyote U land. Heading to Daytona for the opening on Thursday. So exciting

Hurricane Harvey didn’t hit us but the flooding is devastating . Austin and San Antonio having hurricane parties . The New Orleans bar happens to be on the highest point in all of New Orleans ( cool fact I learned during Katrina ). But I am sure there will be a lot of flooding in nola . Good positives thoughts for all the people who will get a direct hit .

I read this article this morning . Warms my heart and shows that a company can positively address the need for diversity .

Coyote Ugly Daytona opening on Thursday ! That’s going to be a wild one ! I am turning 50 in 1 month ! When did this happen ? How ? My body is falling apart . I did a triathlon about a month ago and I have been injured ever since . My only goal was to be able to wear a thong on my birthday because I was SO FIT that I could pull it off . Well the dream is slipping away .

So proud of my sister and her husband . So much hard work that their company is getting a lot of recognition .  Mom and dad would be proud !

I absolutely Love this woman. Good for her . I bet she gets more men then I did when I was on Tinder.  buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/hands-down-the-best-catch-on-tinder

Nashville is rocking! No jinx. Wow . Bam, Mamma needs to send kid to college next year!

Two day recovery from the Napa bonding trip! We are flying in a chef/cook to rework the SD Coyote menu. I am weirdly excited about this.  As a health nut, it would make my day to have more items accessible for my consumption. I went in last week, god bless her heart, Elvira was practicing with tofu. ” Hey I will eat Tofu.” But the frying wasn’t ideal. Move over fried food let’s start grilling . ( The fried Tofu was actually delicious).

Dawn from NYC !

Going through the calendar proofs . So much work . I can already feel Lee disagreeing with me before it even happens . ” Lil as far as layout is concerned the picture with her right thumb flexed makes more sense for that month .”  15 years and I know Lee like a book . Let the fighting begin .

My son hashis senior pictures today ! Time flies .

When did NYU change their sport nomenclature ? When I went to NYU we were the Violets ( pathetic . Hence no real sports tradition). I am watching Chopped, the cooking show . They are doing a college contest . The girl from NYU screams ” go Bobcats ” . When the F did that happen ?

Kevin , Lizzie , Justin and I are heading to Napa for a 10k this weekend .  SD hot water heater broken . Dinesti rushing to get the bar back open . I told Jackson what was going on . ” sorry mom . Just remember I have my future ahead of me unlike you . So just bask in my happiness .” lol my fault . I think we joked way too much when he was young

.

This is what happens when I receive a boxing glove as a present ! Heading to San Antonio tomorrow . Bikini calendar shoot starts tomorrow and anniversary party Thursday.

Jazz is off the hot seat temporarily and Amber ( OKC) is now on it.  Yesterday Jeff and I were exchanging emails about what needed to get done. Today I woke up to an email from Jeff and a call. ” Amber is directly on Jeff’s shit list now. LOL. ” Liliana I don’t have a shit list. ” Yeah right Jeff. The Whole company is scared of you.

Every bar did awfully last night. I opened San Antonio last hoping that at least one bar did well. Unfortunately that did not happen. Apocalypse !

Lee and Lizzie are in Japan. Lizzie is so impressed with the Tokyo staff! They will get ” Work Bitch” Choreography tomorrow. Lee on the other hand is not happy with their proposed new sites. Back to the drawing board.

New Orleans bar is killing me today. Planning a party for next week yet some people are only now finding out about it? WELCOME BACK FROM VACATION. Make a checklist. Mark everything accomplished once it is accomplished. Set an action plan.  Don’t just throw on Facebook ” hey Y’all come on by”. I don’t get it? We spend so much time on this stuff at the seminar. Don’t worry New Orleans, tomorrow will be another bar’s headaches. ” Please Dinesti , not you!!”

” Lil transgender question?”

” Lil can I paint the ceiling?”

“Lil , by the way we are filming an international commercial. Want to come?’

” Lil, the AC is on the fritz”

” Lil, blah blah blah”

Wouldn’t this be nice ” Lil, everything went so smoothly this weekend. We netted the most in the history of Coyote Ugly. We love you.  And the city sent us a commendation for being so awesome.”

Vacation over ! Aloha Mahalo . Maui is nice but I fell in love with Kauai . Only two work calls ( both from Chantel ). Hoping it’s not a shit storm once I start opening all my emails . Nice commentary from my friend Leslie .

New Orleans bar getting rebuilt.

Dropped the kid off in Rhode Island . Heading to Hawaii on vacation .  Going to try and truly unplug . Let’s see .

Kevin built gorgeous vanities for the Nashville bar . ( from scratch ). Wow kevin , I am impressed . He is supposed to make me a coffee table from some of the wood saved from the original NY bar . Exciting .

Two weeks till vacation . Jazz , nola GM butt dialed me at 1:30 am . Ugh.

Doctor : ” So you have been having these symptoms for months . But didn’t call me . You then hurt your ankle and went to a Reiki practicitioner who used magnets. She had you lay on the magnets to heal your ankle but instead she said to you ” You have parasites .” If this woman is correct then I am going to her.”

Doctor called today ” I can’t believe it . She was right . You have two amebas from contaminated water . ”

lol . Sorry Memphis . I don’t think I can go . I honestly don’t feel that bad but the medication is very strong so I want to be home .

Get Ready Marsha and Lou hitting the town for tons of wine before my 1 week ameba cleanse !

Things heating up today at work !

Of course Justin said ” we are so close to signing in India . Imagine what you might get there!” But I love Indian food. It will be worth it
