My Brain Has Left

Dear Brain,

                Why have you shut down? Did I do something to offend you? Please come back, I really could use your assistance.

                Love, Me

Tis true, he left me. Or she. Wait a second, brains don’t have genders! Or do they…?

ANYHOO, today I wrote an essay on Reality Television. As most of you know, I adore essays, especially when I’m writing them to practice for the SATs. Woah, that last sentence totally made me sound like a smart brainy kind of girl! This is a *LIE*. I am not “brainy” by any means, I just happen to enjoy writing. I do like to pride myself though, of being a straight B’s student with the occasional A thrown in. This said essay, actually came out pretty good after some research, and taught me a lot. Basically there are two sides. Either you love reality T.V. or you hate it. There is no middle. Except for me!! I mean, I hate most of the dumb things they put on T.V, especially reality T.V. But I am known to be a big fan of Survivor, The Amazing Race, Top Chef, and even The Apprentice. Am I a bad person? I shall answer this no. But why is my gut feeling so guilty….

                Tonight’s CLEAR is at the Johnson’s house for movie night. Hopefully I can go! There’s nothing else really to report here on the farm. Same old, same old. 

Next time on DairyQueenCarly: Popularity.

Peace! Carly
P.S. Another picture that cracked me up. :D Cheers!

Oh, blog. I have forsaken thee!! And my beloved followers/audience. Sorry guys! Here's some random stuff that came to me today....
1-I am so thankful for my friends!! Even when I am all alone at Care Groups, I still Love Them Lots!
2-Everything I do on this blog should glorify God!!
3-I am loving our Sunday School class right now. Everyone with me say "aye!"
4-VBS starts on my birthday this year. Yippee. I'm trying to have a good attitude about this, but it's hard. I've been looking forward to my birthday since...forever. I'm either going to have to have it the week before or week after. Humph.
5-I finally updated my pictures!! This computer is so dang fast. Here are some I've been meaning to show you.

Basically a recap of Girl's Night Out in one picture, haha.

Best. Sleepover. Ever.

This just cracks me up. Like is there really a blind hunter? Or do they just want you to stay off their land??

My dairy quiz bowl team. No Comment :/

Cabela's baby! Woot-Woot!

The Bus. Craziness.

The theme for snow camp. Awesome shirts, btw.

We played hard. I love Theresa's face here. "Woah his veins are a-poppin."

THAT'S IT FOR NOW!!!!
Peace! Carly

Ugh.

I'd don't really feel like posting right now. I have nothing to write about...it's called writer's block.

SHORTEST RECAP IN HISTORY
Sleepover. Penguins game. Clear. Cupcakes. Job. Fun. McAndrew. Madden. Parent's away. Fun. Contacts.

Yaaaay!!!

Thank Goodness It's Friday!

So, two big things happened yesterday. Well, make that three actually. Let's make a list, shall we? I like order...

1)We got a new computer!!! We've been planning and waiting for it forever, and it's here! A guy from our church, Tim, actually made it from various parts and came to set it all up for us. It looks so modern. So...thin. So sleek. I like it, can you tell?

2)Luke, dad, and I helped a cow give birth. Let me explain a little before I get into details. Luke is in a partnership with my grandfather in a red and white holstein cow named Delilah. So this heifer was having one of Luke's cow's embryos. Red cows are really hot in the market now because everyone wants to show them (I totally started this trend). A red heifer can start out being $1,000-$4,000 depending on the quality and pedigree of the calf. So you can imagine everyone's disappointment when this beautiful red heifer came out dead. I was more sad about it dieing then the actually money thing. But it was a blow for my brother.

3)My Uncle Kevin (my mother's sister's husband) went to the ER late last night, and my aunt didn't want to leave the kids. So I went over and spent the night just in case they had to do surgery or something and so she could be with him. It ended up being kidney stones, and he was in a lot of pain but he's feeling a lot better this morning. Ah, my cousins. Little angels they are...here's a picture.

This one's from October so it's a bit old, but it's the only one I have until I upload some more pictures.
Peace! Carly

So Much Has Happened....

Oh, wow. Just look at all this snow!
There's a lot. Besides the recent snow storm, I finally have time to tell everyone other news going down on the farm. It all started last Thursday...
Once upon a time, there were three children (who lived on a dairy farm) scrambling around trying to get ready to go to the land of Scranton. A kingdom far, far, away. They had to go to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned; he was a magical dentist. Once there, they waited with their mother for an hour in "Ye Old Waiting Room". After finding that none of them had cavaties (huffah!) the middle child, Carly, was picked up by ye old grandma to go to spanish class. But she missed spanish and ate at Burger Kind instead. She then went to the eye doctore to get her new contacts. Then, expectantly, went skiing with her brother and friends named Russel. Carly came home at 11:30, stayed up to watch a scary film, and fell asleep.
The next day, the three children did some school and worked until 4:00. Then, the yougest child and Carly got ready for Kids Night Out. A grand affair, with the theme being Noah's Ark. They dressed accourdingly.

Since Carly was the game leader, she was very tired by the end of the night. There were games

craft,

dinner,

Cow tipping,

face painting,

snacks,

a movie, and some weirdos.

Then all the little children went home.
The next day, the two oldest children worked their tail feathers off on the farm.
Finally, it was Sunday. The family went to church and then relaxed and watched some good films. Carly felt social, so she went to the movies with some friends. Carly went home, made dinner, watched some tv, and went to bed.
Monday morning, the family woke up to a snow storm, and hung out. Party for Luke at night.
Now it's Tuesday and my parents took luke out to his favorite restaurant. His birthday is today, which also happens to be National Women's Day. I rag him about it every year, haha.

Have a good day, and please keep the Leslie's and Maddens in prayer. Thanks!

Quick Note

Hey, everyone. Just a quick note to anyone who is reading this. As I now have 4 FOLLOWERS (thank you, Beth) I would encourage Any One to follow this blog. If you follow mine, I'll follow yours ;)
Thanks.....Carly

Success...I Think?

Wow, March first. Where has time flown? Flewn? Whatever.
So, overall I think the dinner party was a success! For some hors d'uevres I served coconut shrimp with an apricot dipping sauce, and some avocado mango wraps. Salad course: some caesar salad in a parmesan bowl, and entree, mustard marinated pork with a cherry salsa. Oh, and sides of blue cheese & bacon potatoes duchess and some garlic/lemon flavored green beens. Dessert was a custard shortbread fruit tart. Not to many mistakes, except where I almost dropped an entire tray of shrimp...But it's all good!

Snow camp was also a success! I feel CLEAR as a group got even closer. We had so much fun!

Today I wore around the house (plus spanish class) a beautiful brown headband with a pretty flower on the side. The brown kind of matches my hair, so it looked cute! Thank you Natalia!!!! I also realized today, that although I not known for my girliness, I am going to have to buy a purse. I have never owned a purse. That's right you heard me correctly-Never. Sure, I've had tote bags and backpacks but never a purse! I'm going to have to get one because....I'M GETTING CONTACTS!!! If you know me, then you'll have to wait to see when I'm getting them cause I want y'all to be surprised! So I need this purse to carry around my contacts/glasses. Hmm, might need some fashion experts on this one....Shopping, Natalia? Ha-ha.

It was a beautiful day, and I took a long walk. I thank God so much for this beautiful world. He could have made it all black and white!!
Peace!Carly
