First of all I would like to say I totally called the Bachelorette. Go Ed! My dad told me last night that I've got "my finger on the pulse," if there's one thing I know, it's reality TV.

I started writing this entry about two hours ago only to be interrupted by a power failure on our block. So for the last two hours I've been riding around town with my parents soaking up the AC and then sitting on our front porch listening to my dad either play pinball on his iPhone or look up people on facebook. In any other case I would have abandoned this endeavor altogether, but I committed to 7 days of blogging and today happens to be a very special day.

Today is my best friend Mindy's birthday. Yesterday she told me she was really excited about getting a measly shout-out, so I can't wait to hear what she says when (after checking Perez Hilton... yes I called you out on your birthday) she checks my blog and sees it's dedicated to her. So I have a couple options of what I could do for this post... A) write sappy stories about our friendship B) write embarrassing stories about our friendship C) post pictures of our friendship. I'm going with option C. Some might say that's a cop out, but hey pictures speak louder than words right???

Lookin hood.

NYC. One of my favorite trips ever.

Spring Break '07.. special memories.

Hazel & Bobbi

Secondhand Serenade concert in Austin. Not the best show, but definitely an adventure.

Probably our best picture together. This was right before I was a third wheel on her date. You're welcome.

Most of my favorite memories in college are with this girl, so these are just a few snapshots of the many many fun times we've had together. From Sonic runs and rollerblades to statistics and library drama she's been through it all, and I'm so grateful to be her friend and even more thankful that we got to spend the last three years as roommates.

Happy Birthday Melinda!
