Shanon’s Blog

I will say that this was probably one of the best weekends I’ve had in a pretty long time. It was not drama filled. It was just fun. The first ever Shanon and Keith Guitar Hero Tournament happened on Friday and I would call it successful. Except that I ended up winning the tournament where the prize was a picture of me. So the losers ended up getting the prize and I don’t really know that they comprehend the full value of their consolation prize. Or maybe they do. I don’t know. We rode the four wheeler and made signs for the Kelly Clarkson concert that night…we ate chips and dips and other fun food items. Not a lot of cheese, though, because after all…I AM lactose intolerant.

Thanksgiving was good. I went to my mom and dads house and ate with her, grandpa, and Keith.It was the first time my mom had ever cooked a Thanksgiving dinner and she did a fantastic job. It was pretty great. She made enough that I got to take home left overs, but then Keith ate them.

We went out that night and had a drama free, sober night with friends.  Friday night was the Kelly Clarkson concert. I was SO excited. We made signs for her. One had my cell number on it to see if she might call me, but so far she hasn’t. She also has my business card which also has my cell phone number on it, but I’m guessing she’s doing the three day waiting thing which means I should be hearing from her after midnight or so tonight. I’ll let you know what we talk about. In the mean time, you can check out www.myspace.com/shanonmurphy to see the pictures of us in the big GH tournament and pre-Kelly concert. I’m an idiot for showing my cell number to 6,000 people on the off chance that she would see it, remember it, and actually call, but you only live once, right?

 I’ll let you know how that turns out.

I woke up with the worst headache on Saturday morning, so I didn’t get out of bed until after 2PM. It was horrible. It was the same headache I got when I had my strep throat. I really, really hope that it is just the change in the weather…we will see on that, too. Then yesterday Keith and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to hang out with Jen O, Michelle, Monica and crew. We watched football then went back to their apartment for more GH. Then it was off to my moms house for dinner. That was nice. But I was tired and had an itchy throat and was not good company, so we headed home at about 8:30 to get ready for bed. I was still awake at 1:30AM, but I’m not going to complain about the reason behind that. Good conversation is never a bad thing, so it was well worth losing sleep over.
