portuguese, walmart and conquering fears

i'm daily discovering just how inundated this area is with brazilians! i love it. i love randomly hearing portuguese while i'm out at walmart or the mall. i try not to get too excited in public, but i have followed a few of them around the store trying to get the courage to speak to them. ha.

speaking of courage, i entered one of the scariest, teeny-bopper stores ever tonight. i DO NOT go in those stores normally b/c i feel so frumpy and un-cool and i'm afraid of what the cool people think of me. i know, i know, get over it! anyway, paige was my moral support tonight and we went in! i even walked out with a cool pair of jeans :)
