its a done deal!!!!

big al and redneck steve are now the new owners of the beer bucket!!! the ink is on the paper…

thanks to all of you that have wished us well. this is such an exciting time and yet, like i said yesterday, its a scary time as well. but im going to try to focus on the positive. yesterday i was so disoriented after wiring (the most money that i had ever wired), that on my way home from the bank, i went through a school zone, and one mile past it, i noticed that i was still going 20mph. i came home and screamed YEAH!!! YESSSSS!!! all to an empty house. I know my neighbors probabbly think im crazy. my doggies sure do!!! then i went to primos at 4pm and ordered tequila shots for all 5 people in the bar. i called steve up so we could toast together over the phone but apparently, being in mexico, he was a few shots ahead of me…

ok, now to the sappy part:

this was such a high. and at the same time, it was so sad that bartendica wasnt a part of it. i know, i know… i should man up and move on… im just telling you how i felt. it just didnt feel right or complete that while all this was happening, i couldnt even call her and tell her. but i did send her a text message, informing her of the good news. of course i got no response from her, but i did send it. well, let me back up. on mothers day, i sent her an email telling her how great of a mom she was to payton when he was here and telling her happy mothers day. no response. oh, i also invited her to hang out with me and my family on mothers day after she hung out with hers, no response again….(you would think i would get the hint???duh.  so yesterday, i woke up so mad… (i NEVER wake up mad!) and i wrote her a short letter telling her how inconsiderate i thought that was (not responding) and i took her the key to her apt and put the letter and the key under her mat, basically saying goodbye. its pretty clear that the bartendica chapter is complete. and that is the last time that you will see her name in my blog!!!it does make me sad… but as they say, it is what it is. i had her, i screwed it up, i tried to get her back and it was too late. its done! im gonna lick my wounds and get up off the floor and move on. and allow her to do the same without being hounded by me! dr. phil says you have to earn your way out… i think i did!

back to the bar…we now have 8 days to get it together. we need to plan the grand opening weekend events, come up with a catchy slogan for the grand opening t-shirts, order the t-shirts, wash the bar, paint the bar, fix the bathroom, figure out how much beer and alcohol to order, sooo much to do…not to mention the fact that i need to lose maybe 10 pounds of break-up weight that ive put on. ok, its 2:56am… im going to jog!

guys, im in debt up to my eyeballs… come to the beer bucket… or at least, buy a t-shirt! 

support the dream! drop in the bucket!

 

todays word is: WOW!!! 

 

love ya’ll.
