Valley Fair is a ridiculously large mall. You know it's big when you get lost inside the mall. There was so much stuff to look at that I couldn't shop. That's a funny concept to me. You would think, more selection, therefore more purchases. But I just got so sick of seeing so much junk by the end of the night I was too tired to sort through it.

Another highlight from the Clay Aiken concert I forgot to mention: He sang a Steven Curtis Chapman song, who just so happens to be my favorite all time musical artist.

I went to the Kelly Clarkson/Clay Aiken concert last night. Those two can sing~! They can belt it out, and it seems so effortless.We went for Lilliene's birthday. Man, she was loving it. Of course, I enjoyed it too... I just didn't go crazy like she did.

It amazed me to see pre-teens hooched out... I'm guessing to see Clay. On our way to the Arena from the parking lot, we saw a girl, she had to be 12, wearing the shortest mini-skirt I had ever seen.

It's funny how Kelly is the original American Idol, and Reuben is the second Idol, yet, Clay seems to have the greatest following. The crowd just went crazy for Clay. Wonder if it's more than just the dork-turned-popular appeal.

We sat pretty close to the stage, only we had side seats. So I got a lot of profile shots, unless they walked towards our side of the stage. I got some pretty good pictures... looks like I'm in the first row because they're so up close. But really, they're just pictures of the projection on the screen. hahaha. I did what I could.

I love Farmer's Market :)

In an attempt to change my look, and at my sister's prompting, I braided my hair last night before I went to bed. This morning, my hair looked really good. Nice and wavy. I moussed it up, went to work. It's 11am and my hair is already looking limp. I hate having flat, straight hair. Won't hold anything... mousse, gel, hairspray. I'm hoping my hair will evolve into that messy-sexy-grunge look by the end of the day, and not just a dirty mop.

Some random thoughts:

1. I think I'm going through puberty. I'm breaking out like crazy.

2. Sarah thinks my insomnia-like symptoms are due to the fact that I go to sleep hungry, and I wake up hungry.

3. I'm cutting my diet 2 days short to eat dim-sum on saturday.

4. I'm going snowboarding April 17. Didn't know they still had snow, but apparently, the parks are open till May.

I woke up at 7:45 this morning. Very late for someone that needs to be out the house by 8. I remember thinking I must have turned off my alarm but just didn't remember because I was so exhausted. That's happened before. Turns out I still made it to work on time. I pulled out my cell phone to put it on silent, and it went into 'normal' mode instead. That's when I realized I didn't change my phone back to normal mode after small group last night, so my alarm did ring... only my phone was on silent. I'm glad today is friday.

Day 4: I'm getting a bit tired of salads. On the plus side, I'm still liking the eggs. I made some peanut butter cookies yesterday made from splenda, egg, and natural peanut butter. Tastes pretty good. I offered it to my coworkers, they refused. Haha. Said if it was a diet cookie, it'd probably taste nasty. My feelings aren't hurt though.. they're missing out.

I think I'm having way too many nuts than I'm allowed. Sarah and I used to inhale peanuts when we were on this diet last time.
