Monique! You LUCKY PUPPY! You are living one of my DREAMS! Residing in Amsterdam, dancing with handsome Brazilian guys...aaahhhhhhh. Latin dance...well, they TOLD me I was Latin dancing... I guess if you pound down enough tequila you can truly BELIEVE what you are doing is latin dancing... . That was the night we took the mariachi band home with us to sing to the wife of one of the guys in our party because she wasn't going to let him into the house after being gone all night...actually, they just changed places. HE went up to bed, SHE came down and joined the party - which carried on in the street in front of their house! This was at DAWN on Sunday morning in Mexico! (guess she didn't plan on going to church...
)Evo. Yikes. Hairballs. Get some Hartz Hairball Remedy. I haven't had to clean up cat puke since we started using it. Great stuff. My kitties love it - eat it right off my finger, they do!

Yes, a bunch of Brazilians came over for three weeks, part of an exchange program (one of my friends, she went to Brazil for three weeks to help build facilities for the villages) Last night was the goodbye party, so we stayed up until they had to leave for the airport at 4 am :)
So there was lots of music, we did a few traditional dances (they made an attempt on teaching us at least), which was really cool.. and some rhumba, merengue, salsa

What do you mean when you say dance jimmyp? I know you and i reckon your dancing is different to the dancing monique's referring too.

i had a poor attempt at moving my body to the music Doesnt make me sound so good anymore. Talking of Latin music, everyone should buy a Gipsy Kings album ...Mosaique is really good.

See that I'm jealous of, furballs are easy to clean up. One of our cats is a retard and has the inate ability to 'miss' the litter tray. disgusting to clean up...and it pukes all the time. It's stupid, she will eat tons of food, puke it up and then immediately go back to the food bowl...
Also another one of our cats thinks it's clever and funny to piss on the door mat. You can't clean that unless you put it in the wash and then we are doormat-less.

I can dance Merengue, and I'm learning Salsa. Those are the two dances of my native country (Puerto Rico), and there really the only ones I've ever enjoyed doing...I wonder if there's a connection?
