what a fun filled day

well all, guess what i did yesterday?? yep thats right olivia and i walked our lazy bums down to the centro to buy our dresses for the pops wedding in rio (yep yep that right!! olivia is going to rio with me and the fam!!) got it all on sale too (proud of me grams & mom?). of course on our way there we just had to stop for an ice cream. well hmmm not really an ice, more of a fruit pop cycle kind of thing. that is healthy, right? i have no idea what flavor i got because olivia and i are trying this new thing, where when we go out to eat and when we don't know what to get we ask the the people working in the store what their faves are and get that. claro, on our way back we ran into olivia's counselor (who from across a busy street could tell we were foreign. even when we were dressed up in brasilian clothing) and asked us to stop and have another ice cream. lucky olivia shot the shop keeper a "sshhhh" and he didn't saying anything like "oh, back again menias huh?" just winked ;)

depois (after), we went home and got ready (by getting ready i mean we hopped in the shower, got out, and got dressed. not really getting ready up to brasilian standards) for a fabulous night with rotary. which happened to turn out to be not so fabulous. since we had to sit and listen to the rotarians gives speeches for a little over two hours, while i was dying of an over filled bladder and olivia dying of a not so full stomach. but positive thinking here folks! we did make a new friend and got free food---always a plus right?
