... that other one, but this works for now. After the party shut down, it was off to the bar. I jumped in the car with Shelby and Sam, which was a great idea because we hit McDonald's on the way. We first headed over to Mingles where we saw Sara Miller. It was so weird to be there and I just stood there with a blank look on my face trying to figure out how I could get out of there.
