Maybe I gave last night’s wine tasting party way too much thought. It was a ton of fun and I fit in just fine with the other girls there. I was going to wear one of my evening gowns because it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed, but I laid down on my bed for a quick nap and apparently slept thru my phone alarm. The party started at 7PM. I woke up at 7:11PM. Kinsey and J-Si live about 20-25 minutes away. So I got there about 45 minutes late. In effort to not be 50 minutes late, I just threw on a hoodie and LSU skull cap. (Geaux Tigers!) I admit I looked like I had been playing a softball game or something, but I hadn’t. I just wasn’t too worried about it and I was too groggy to really care, so I went with it.

I got there and peeked my head thru the door and they were in the beginnings of a wine tasting thing. I’ll be honest. I didn’t know what the party was for initially. I assumed it was Tupperware or something, but it was a lotion party. I like lotion. So it was all good. And I have nice things to say about lotion because I’m a nice person. So I stood in line to do the lotion trying testimonial on video. How hard could it be…talkin about lotion and stuff? The first question that the mean, not nice camera guy asked was my name, age, and occupation. Now I had drank 4 SIPS of wine at that point. Not glasses or even half glasses. SIPS. But apparently 4 SIPS of wine was enough to make me tipsy. I couldn’t even say my name without laughing hysterically. There’s not real;ly anything funny about the name Shanon Kay Murphy. Or the fact that I’m 26 years old. Or the fact that I’m a morning show producer. But after 4 small little SIPS of wine they were all hysterical. Long story short the camera guy took the mic off my shirt and told me to get out of the room and then he shut the door. Somehow I ended up with the mic back in my hand later on while he was still taping and decided that I needed to sing some Flo-Rida. I didn’t go over the top and do the whole song into the mic…just the first verse and the hook. Is it so wrong that I hope my rapping got on the tape since he was so not tolerant of my laughing? Seriously, what else was he going to do? He upset me and I felt so inadequate.

So when he left I decided that I needed to make sure that he knew that I didn’t mean to ruin that part of the video. You know how sometimes you start laughing and can’t stop? It happens and I think that he should’ve been a little more understanding of it. He walked out the door and I went out right after him to have a one on one conversation regarding the situation, but he was gone. I was kinda upset that he probably ran to the garage because he suspected that I wanted to make good. I don’t think he really cared. At least I know I tried.

I did learn one lesson last night. Four sips of wine is NOT good for me. I feel like crap today and I really, truly did not have but maybe one full glass of wine. I think it’s kind of a testament to how well behaved I’ve been lately. So to the person who  said that they had seen me out and that there was no way I could go a weekend without drinking. I did it just to spite you. And now I’m paying the price for not drinking out of spite. So I guess in some sick, twisted way, you win.

I’m wearing my McLovin shirt today just like JC and Sunny J were supposed to but didn’t because they don’t have any team spirit like I do. Boo them. That’s all I have to say about all of that.
