Hi there,
Check around line 96 of your style.css file for this

#header .widget-area {
width: 500px;
}

That width there is overriding your sidebar width and removing it should do the trick!

Cheers,
Carrie

Oh another question do you know where i can style the date and things on the blog part?  I don't see any css code for the date section..

You're probably looking for the "post info" or post meta" sections in your CSS (Post Info generally covers your date or stuff right before the post, while Post Meta covers stuff that appears after posts).

Do you use Firebug? If not, here's a quick article on what it is and how to use it: http://www.studiopress.com/tips/using-firebug.htm.

Maybe a little weird at first but is MAGIC when it comes to helping you identify what CSS is behind a particular page element.
