Brandon - Yep. Or Carnaval. Loads of people on the street, in costumes, acting silly and kids pulling stupid pranks. And parades with guys and girls of floats, half naked, thinking it's Brasil and thus very warm in February. This year it seems they might actually be lucky but some years it's the most hilarious part, seeing people trying to dance some warmness into their bodies when it 10ºC outside.
I'm here too. I wasn't yesterday, but I am today. I think I'm going to blow off my afternoon meeting and work from home today, so I'll probably be on a good part of the day.
I've been working on craft items for Shiba Rescue. I just finished some Shiba neck warmers and did a photo shoot of a friend's Shikoku so I can needle felt a likeness of him.
I'm here, but will be on less & less during the workday. I'm having difficulty getting a decent enough signal on my cell phone and I can't access via the computer at work anymore (internet Nazis!).
Thanks. Patrice got me going on making neckwarmers. BTW, all the proceeds from my sales this year are going to Shiba Rescue of So Cal. There are so many dogs coming into Rescue now and the need is great.
Rui - Carnaval sounds like a lot of fun there. We are getting a King Cake and having friends over for dessert tonight. Not that we are really religious or anything, we just like dessert.
I'm here..... I'm soo excited about getting my shiba pup that I totally stalk this forum oggling all of your pups! my place of work is coming to a close too so all I really have is time to internet surf : )
btw.... I'm going back to the breeder today after work. This time I made sure to bring the camera! They shold be 2 weeks old as of yesterday. Hopefully lots of puppy pics will follow this evening.
Brandon - It sounds fun in theory, but then it isn't. People always go over board and end up getting stupid.
Interesting about the King Cake. We have Bolo Rei (literally King cake) that we usually eat around the holidays. I understand the liking desert part :-)
