PROUD

1. Idol scores: LJ, 10; Wes, 9.5; David, 8. I am really glad the person I predicted (Syesha) did not get kicked off, because I really like her! Who was sad to see Lamiele go? Not me.

2. One month until the big Kanye and Rihanna concert, woo hoo!

3. This just in: I am letting my hair grow out until after the half. I use the term "grow out" loosely. Don't worry, it's not like it will look the way it was for years and years before I got it chopped, which was apparently awful considering how everyone went nuts over the new 'do. But I digress. The point is, rather than get it trimmed again next weekend when I'm supposed to, I rescheduled for the week after the race. It's just finally getting "long" enough where it will stay in a ponytail and I need to be able to stay that way for the half. So, if you like my hair a little longer (let's be real, an inch at best) get excited.

4. For anyone in any weddings anytime soon, Target has a ton of Bachelorette party stuff in the dollar bins: Bride to Be sashes, dare dice, crowns, beads, "hottie whistles" (not sure what those are but they sound fun!), shot glasses on a chain, temporary tattoos, dare scratch off cards (watch out for those, trust me) and more. The only way this could be better? If they'd made it all in 2005, 2006 or 2007, when I was in multiple weddings. Thanks Target. Although I guess I don't have to be a bridesmaid to make good use of a "hottie whistle." I mean, that sounds like something handy to keep around the house just in case you ever need it.

5. Raise your hand if your sister is a bona fide* bad ass and landed her dream job yesterday!

*Yes, bona fide is two words. I looked it up.
