Sleep all Day

I tried to sleep in as late as possible today in order to get over my cold, but it is hard to get quality sleep in my house. The blinds are really helping but they kinda make my room hotter and I can't sleep already because its really hot. Its a lose, lose situation. Anyways, I tried to sleep in till 2 but I really didn't do much sleeping. I got up around 2 and did some work and then celebrated my sister Gabi's birthday. Most of the fam was there including Sorria, Rodrigo, and Leo from Guarapari (they own the sitio I went to for Carnaval).

After the birthday party, I did some work, or should I say I waited on my internet. My internet here is really horrible and disconnects whenever it wants. I told them that I would pay for better internet so we are going to get it installed next week sometime.

At 6 we took all the kids to the mall and I hung out with Rodrigo and Leo. It was our mission to find a Flamingo jersey for me. Flamingo is the team from Rio de Janeiro that my family likes and watches all the games. Its kinda like the Steelers for my family back home. My mom and dad are both from Rio originally so they are called "cariocas" and have a reputation of being very friendly, open, and loud. They certainly live up to their rep in all areas. We finally found a jersey for me and it cost about $50. Its a lot, but my dad seriously talks to me everyday about it. I think he wants me to buy one so he can show his buddies that I'm a Fla fan. While shopping, I awkwardly asked Rodrigo and Leo about what stores had the best prices. They said that it really doesn't matter because the same models in different stores have the same price. The only reason to go to different stores is to see if they have different models. I told them that this took away competition and they shrugged and said yes. I don't really understand this, but of course I might not have been understanding them.

After the mall, we went to a Chinese restaurant for Gabi's birthday and then Nicole Amanda and I took a walk to the park. I made the mistake of drinking Coke and the restaurant and Guarana at the park, so I couldn't go to sleep for a long time. Also maybe the fact that I slept all day had something to do with it!
