headache

Yep, tough week. We have all these so called "legend football players" and they are broke - credit cards declined and not wanting to pay for extra nights - just cause they are stars that I have never heard of - huh!

You plan for months to make sure eveything runs smoothly - you get the details to the customers and you are patient with the company that books the "legends" - they have a horrible problem with details. Hello! What do you tell the customers after all the signs are printed and letters have been picked up - so we have to tell these guys "your ideas are great, but sorry that can't happen."

Lots of guests checked in today with more on the way tomorrow and the weather is not cooperating. Milwaukee's airport was closed for awhile and O'hara had a 5 hour delay. That means our customers may cancel - the most profitable weekend of the year!

We are opening a new Sports Bar and Grill this weekend - so final touches are being made.

Autograph signing tomorrow night, VIP party on Saturday and the Big Game on Sunday, we have to call it the Big Game because the NFL does not want anyone to use Super Bowl or Super Sunday - anything to make a buck and discourage people to go to Las Vegas vs. the actual game.

Headache, yes, back to real reason of the headache - I just settled with the pool company after a long drawn out process, wrote them a check from my home equity line of credit to find out today that Countrywide has decided to suspend our credit due to the fact that the Market has changed and the value of the homes in my area has dropped. Go figure - I was approved for the amount and they just took it away with no warning. Now what! Why was that never disclosed to us? Why do I have to find out this way? What about the check I wrote? So many questions - I tried to call them tonight and they are closed so I have to wait until tomorrow. Needless to say I am a little stressed. Here we are - a new year and new problems, just when I thought they were behind us.
