Lauren won the competition. I wasn't really surprised. I know the Joshies would come through for her. I do believe that without them Mark would have won, but whatever. It's just a summer competition and Mark didn't seem too terribly upset about his loss. He looked like he was having a good time and that's what's most important.

So tonight we are going out to dinner and then to see "The Ugly Truth." I think we'll have a nice time. He leaves to go back to school on Saturday, so as I mentioned before this isn't going to become a relationship, but it's still nice to get out. And the fact that Mark is a smart, funny and handsome guy doesn't hurt either.

I'm looking forward to going to Vegas. I want to take one of the bus trips to the Grand Canyon so badly. None of my friends seem too into it though. I'm hoping to convince them before we get there. What could be more spectacular than seeing the Grand Canyon?
