Guest Starring...

mellow greetings ladies (and gentlemen too. but if you're reading this, how embarrassing for you)

Although usually you'd be reading the thoughts of my seester who is an exceptional writer, but she is currently undergoing writers-block. Poor thingy.


So to relieve her from her worrying that "the blog must go on" that she is suffering from, i (megan) am stepping in.
I am not a writer. I don't have elaborate ideas in my head screaming to get out on paper. I am not a blogger. I check a few blogs, yes, but admit i do not read unless there are pictures. So this is more of a ramble with lots of photos to talk for me. Today i've decided to ramble about mindy..or "melwood" as we call her in private. So let's begin: Facts you may not know about mel? She has arachnophobia. You can say a lot of people do because most don't like spiders, but this girl is truly ill with the disease. Just watching the movie Spider-man was a near-death experience for her.
Mindy is very creative. For instance, one evening, her pj pants that she was wearing ripped. Instead of sadly throwing them away, she invented a head garment for us that um.. well truly brought us closer together

Did you know that Mindy's first real job was at Panera Bakery?Mindy loves people, but of course, we're not always the social-bug. (i don't understand why. we seem pretty interesting)
In fact, one of my top ten favorite moments with mel is sneaking out of a rather large party one evening and sitting in the front yard shooting water fountains, seeing who could shoot the farthest.We have a handful of "secret places" that we like to go to that we never go to with anyone else. One of those places we found with Casey, which included subway, abandoned airplanes, walking into radio stations while "on the air", sneaking thru castles, and naturally for the age we were.. Usher. Of course, this location is still only spoken of between the three of us.Speaking of secrets, mindy has several aliases. One would be Tanta. The russian granny most love when you're not actually with her. she's known to carry a broom about, in case you're in need of a good whap. In our most recent encounter, she played the role of the russian version of Santa and let us sit on her knee.
Most of the time i've known mindy has been during her single years. She's grown in many ways, such as dancing.. from a bad dancer, to only being able to do her "bunny hop", to inspiring us with new moves, she knows how to break it down. Also she's grown to be beauuutiful. No offense mel but you were right there with us through our "awkward stages" as you led the questionable bang fashion. Now mindy is so beautiful, i've used her as a model for my pictures many many times... Which is probably why it was not long after we took this picture ...that my brother snatched her up. (literally, i think it was within a few months)
Mel and i now share almost everything. Family, memories, whole costco cakes, and the actual plates our cake goes on (notice the ripped paper plate)dress up and having dress up "reunions"
addictions to "feathers!!"and sharing moments that involve sitting upon something and singing. "Sittin' on a hilltop, eating chicken salad" ..or my favorite, gearing up for an adventure, then climbing on top of the roof singing, and eating Marshmellow Mateys (or rather, the marshmellows, and throwing the mateys down to the driveway)
and now.. the blog??
All in all, mindy is a huge part of my life and holds a part in all my best memories.
Annie, i hope your mental issues are only temporary so you can come back on here and share about Alisa Mary Marriot and your genius works of literature. I love you sooo much and am glad you're stuck with me for life.
