No, I am alive

Okay I know...It has been a while..I mean a long time since I last blogged. I get so behind on this. I can't ever remember to do it unless Kristen calls into my office or send me a threatening email and then I start typing. Something about her voice that scares me...

Well, what's been going on in my life??? Lots and lots of things. Let's see what's happened since my last blog. Well, it's been about a month since the last blog so let me see if I can even remember what's been going on during that time.

The weekend after March 5, I spoke with my best bud that i haven't seen or spoken with in a while. We went shopping and that was nice. I bought another tanning package...I have to try and get dark before I head off to Orlando in May to see my childhood friend, Alison.
Anyways, the next weekend was St.Patty's Day and of course I had to go out and show my green off. Me and Melanie went to where...but of course...The Iron Horse. Fly BY Radio was there and they are awesome. We got a Bush mills T-Shirt and St. Patty's tattoos...we had a blast. We saw so many of our friends there and so many people from high school...kind of scary. Anyways, that was March 16Th weekend.
The next weekend March 23rd me and Melanie and her parents went to Memphis, TN to go to Graceland. Graceland was so freaking awesome. We went into Elvis's car museum...including 4 of the coolest Harley Davidson's I have ever seen and don't forget about the Pink Cadillac. Then we went into his Sincerely Elvis museum which had all kinds of cool things like some of his outfits(suits) and some of his records and of course gold and platinum and some of his Grammy awards and all kinds of stuff like that. Then into Graceland we went...it was awesome. The house is for the most part exactly the way Elvis left it. They did turn his racket ball room into more of his awards and things of that nature. We saw his and Priscella wedding attire and Lisa Marie first baby crib and most of her "1st" toys. We saw all his childhood outfits he was into as a kid...for example: his Karate robe, his basketball uniform, his football uniform, some of his favorite toys and one of his piano's. We also saw his Jungle Room and his Baby Grand Piano. You know you can not go into his room or any of the upstairs because Elvis took his upstairs to be very private and scared. none of his friends could go to the upstairs, even. We did his his barn and where his horses used to be. His father's office that helped get Elvis started. Then we saw his grave. Elvis was moved from Forest Hill Cemetery because fans where trying to dig him and his casket up from the ground, so his dad, Vernon got him (Elvis), his wife, Elvis's grandmother moved to Graceland so security would be surrounding them. Elvis's dad was buried next to him. They are all buried in the Meditation Garden. Then we went to tour The Lisa Marie airplane and The Hound dog Jet. They were neat. They were also left exactly the same. Last but not least we went and saw The Elvis After Dark, which was his piano and his stereo, his favorite game, which was Monopoly, videos from Lisa Marie and Priscilla about his long night owl hours. It was over all an amazing trip. I loved it!!

Okay so this past weekend. Well, I had to be at work at 6am on Friday (which was a wage, salary, pension, and bonus payday...another words busy as crap) and then the computers went down when it was time to leave so we had to stay...which ended up being until 5:50. So I received like a 7 minute lunch on Friday so I pretty much worked around 12 hours and then I was ready to go so we went out to Wo's in McCalla with my friends Erik. They had a band and it was OK. So we left and went to Erik's house. We walked down to see his horses and then hung out at his house for a little while. The next morning we got up @ 7am and had to get ready and be at Kaylee's(Melanie's niece) tee-ball game at 9am. Then we went to Walmart and then we had a slumber party at Melanie's...me, Mel, and Kaylee...I was so exhausted this past weekend.

Okay, so this week I stayed home on Monday night and then last night me and Melanie went to look at houses for me...if I can ever afford to buy one. And then tonight me and my mom are going tanning and going to get our toes done.A night of relaxation and stress free. I am so excited. Oh yeah and to top this week off...we are closed Friday for Good Friday...YEAH

So that's what has been going on with me and I'll try not to wait so long for the next blog.

Peace and Love, Shannon
