Christmas!

ok, here are the words of last post, and then I'll update a bit. Sorry I haven't posted!! :D

DISH: This new thing I kinda thought of. Like dinners that I make for people. Just throwin out some ideas for a job. My goal is to earn money by the end of January. I make money now, obviously, but I want an actual job. You know? Hillside said they might be interested in having me make some small dinner parties-only ten and under. More than ten people would be a little hectic.
Polls: Need some ideas!! Anyone have ideas for new polls? I would totally use them.
Marissa Madden: Ya, this one was pretty random. Just a special shout out to my buddy. This is our last Christmas before COLLEGE!! What will I do without you????
Report Of The Week: Finished school! YAY! No CLEAR, which made me sad. And today is the dat after Christmas. haha

Did I mention we had our Christmas program Sunday? It was awesome. We had enough food (surprisingly), I messed up my lines (NERVES), and had a little momement ;)
Casey I'm writing about about you.
La de da.
Oh, right. So Christmas. Christmas was awesome! I got money for clothes and shoes, which is what I mainly wanted. Other than that, some crazy socks, Taylor Swift CD, and other stuff. I didn't really want anything big this year. Except Facebook (not gonna happen!). My favorite gift, though, was the birth of Jesus. We just watched The Nativity. Such a good movie. It really shows you what it might have been like for Mary.

Well, that's all for now cause I'm trying to talk to Maddens, listen to music, and type this.
PEACE! Carly

Here It Is, yo!

Ok, I promised you some key words for this post. So here they are.
Crappy Music: I was just rendering that some music I'm listening to is real crappy. As in the lyrics. For example, "Like A G6". Ya, it has an awesome tune, but the lyrics are all about drinking!!! Same with "Bottoms Up", or other music like that.
New Old Friend: I desperately want an "old" friend. My mom learned a lot about cooking from her neighbor in her childhood. She was old, and was a chef! One lady I might try is Mrs. Horvath. She lives right up the road from us, and lives by herself. Everyone says she's like a super nice lady, but I've never met her!! Hopefully I'll form some guts and give her a visit with cookies.
Crunches: I recently have been working out. Shocking, right? Lol. Anyways, I ride our exercise bike for 20 minutes, and do at least 15 crunches at night. By the end of the day, I'm pooped. But sometimes I forget about the bike. Where's the string around my finger when I need it??
The Future: I'm not even going there right now. This needs a whole post dedicated to it.
Fun: The Leslie's are coming over tonight!! And tomorrow, a special surprise...Did I mention today's my mom's birthday?? I made her stuffed french toast, fruit salad, cookies, orange juice, and coffee.

Did I ever mention that my cow had a BABY??!! So excited. It was one of my show cows, and it was a girl! Will post tons of pictures later. She's very white. Has a white face, with bright red spots on the tip of her ears. I feed her everyday at lunch, and we have fun! After she eats, she chases me around the pen and kicks her legs up. Sooooo cute!!!!

Luke went to Stronghold last night, he had fun! :D The Christmas program with Clear, Children's Church, and Stronghold is THIS SUNDAY! EEK!!!! I have to finish memorizing my lines, and practice for my clarinet piece. Oh, and organize more food. Hope everyone's coming!!
My friend from school emailed me today. I don't even talk to anyone from school anymore. I have nothing really in common with them. They're nice, but it's hard hanging with people who don't have Christ in their lives like I do. So thankful for all my friends in Grace!! Nothing new more to report.

Next Week on Dairy Queen: DISH, polls, Marissa Madden, report of the week.

Peace!Carly

Everything Under The...Fun!

My sincerest apologizes to all my readers! I hope I actually do have readers besides Natalia, Maddie, Hope, and the Maddens!! :D I have been sooo busy! So here's just a short recap of the week:

Wednesday: Had CLEAR, where we picked names for our "secret" gift. Hmm, that sounds weird. I mean, you pick someone's name, buy a present for that person, and don't tell anyone who you got. Which is funny,. because I know who everyone has except 2 people. 1 of these 2, have my name! :D No, I don't persuade people, they just seem to like to tell me! Haha...

Thursday: Dairy Quiz Bowl practice. I stunk. BUT-since then I've studied a lot. I memorized five pages so far. Hopefully next time I'll do better. Oh, Luke and I rode together by ourselves for the first time! It was actually lots of fun riding with him.

Friday: Care groups. Took lots of fun pics of Natalia. Will post these later.

Saturday: Hung out. Went to Christmas in Our Hometown, which is always a fun part of the year. Saw the Leslie's, Maddens, and other church people. Took a horse-drawn carriage with Leslie girls, cousins, Aunt, and family. Then hung out the rest of the night with the Maddens. We found this really cute store, that I didn't even know about!! They make all these really cute stuff out of recycled stuff. So, chic! Marissa got an adorable bag that was soo her, and I got earrings for my secret special person gift for CLEAR. Haha. Oh, and had a very last-minute sleepover, haha. Bedtime? 4:00. That's A.M., people.

Sunday: Church, the we had people over to hang out and shoot trap. For those of you who don't know what this is-you take a gun and shoot a bright orange disks called birds. Sounds weird, I know, but so much fun! People: Kara H, Teresa, Jake J, Jake H, Adam, and Tim. Ate lunch, then shot trap till 3:00.In the middle of this I 1)Shot my first clay bird and actually got it (after I was like, "Wow! I didn't think I'd get it. I barely even looked!" lol)! 2)Took a crazy 4-wheeler ride with Teresa driving, Kara sitting behind her, and me on the front. I almost died haha. The boys didn't know we went, and they just all stopped, turned, and stared at us like we were crazy, which we probably were! So awesome!! Then we played Apples to Apples until 5:30, had dinner and coffee, and played more till about 7:00. Hung out and ended up watching Shanghai Noon. They all left about 10:00. I was beat, but it was sooo worth it! :)

Monday: School, cookies, apple crisp, t.v., bed

Tuesday: Two words-Baking Frenzy. That's all I should have to say.

Man, I meant this to be a short recap, so I could talk more about other stuff! Well, I guess I'll just have lots to tell you next time.
Key Words For Next Week On Dairy Queen: crappy music, new old friend, crunches, the future, and fun.
Peace! Carly
