Okay! Well, I'll talk to you later! Bye!

Migrating Stingrays

Wow.
Carly Here!!!
Was reading an email, and thought I'd open this one called "Migrating Stingrays". Opened it, SHOCKED.
AMAZING
BRILLIANT
SHOCKING
FANTASIC.
MAGNIFICENT
ELEGANT
BEUTIFUL

WOW!

Looking like giant leaves floating in the sea, thousands of Golden Rays are seen under this, gathering off the coast of Mexico . The spectacular scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters. Gliding silently beneath the waves, they turned vast areas of blue water to gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula . Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks. She said, "It was an unreal image, very difficult to describe. The surface of the water was covered by warm and different shades of gold and looked like a bed of autumn leaves gently moved by the wind. It's hard to say exactly how many there were, but in the range of a few thousand. We were surrounded by them without seeing the edge of the school and we could see many under the water surface too. I feel very fortunate I was there in the right place at the right time to experience nature at its best" Measuring up to 7ft (2.1 meters) from wing-tip to wing-tip, Golden rays are also more prosaically known as cow nose rays.
They have long, pointed pectoral fins that separate into two lobes in front of their high-domed heads and give them a cow-like appearance. Despite having poisonous stingers, they are known to be shy and non-threatening when in large schools. The population in the Gulf of Mexico migrates, in schools of as many as 10,000, clockwise from western Florida to the Yucatan .

Here are the pictures below:




Just thought I'd share this with you guys. Thanks for reading! If you wish for me to send you the actual email, just tell me by commenting that you wish so.
Okie dokie!
Thanks for reading!
Bye!

Miss Iowa!

Hey! Carly here, and making a quick note.
Miss Iowa won 2nd runner up in the Miss America pageant Saturday Night!
In case you didn't know, I'm an Iowan gal and was expecting to see Miss Iowa get left out of the top 15. Now, here I was, with my friends, and watching the Miss America pageant. And BOOM! There she was, standing there with all the other top 15 Misses!
Long story short, we became second runner up! Congrats, Miss Iowa!
So, that's it! BTW My two favorite Miss Iowa's were Mary Beth in 1978 and Robin in 1987. I wonder what they're like now.

Yuppers! Adious!

I <3 Vampires!

wow.
Wow.
WOW!!!!!!!

I just read Twilight.
Explain enough?


That is the most amazing book I have ever read!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!
Before I read any Twilight books, I always thought that the fans of it were a little bit, well, insane.
I totally get it now.
WOW
Edward Cullen is the newest addition to my list of people I would KILL to meet. Well, maybe not kill but oh well. Of course, David Tennant and Owen Harper (from Torchwood...real name is Burn Gorman) take up one and two on the list. No surprise there.
I've finished Twilight a bit ago and have half an epilogue left of New Moon. Trying to make it last until the first Monday in February. REALLY HARD. It's like not looking at a picture of The Doctor for a day. Ugh.


Well, new collage or whatever you want to call it.












Yup, that's it.
OK. bye.
Off to reread Twilight again.

Chicago!

Bonjour! (see? I'm finally getting the hang of this French thing!)

It's Carly! Not that hobo that lives in the quick shop by Central!
I went to Chicago for a field trip quite a while ago...October 29, I think. I've always had a thing for Chicago, all the businesses and advertisements and people! We went to see the musical, Wicked. Amazing!!!!! But just outdoor Chicago was great, so I thought it was fantastic for photos. I took tons of pics on my phone, though most of them got deleted by accident, about 30. I only have 13 left, so I decided to upload them into a computer file and create a little collage-thing. Here it is!










I'll describe them right now!

  • Top Left Corner-Some building that I fell in love with. Not fancy, nor high-tech, but gorgeous.
  • Right of T.L.C-just a sweet little park that had a few sculptures.
  • Bridge over river-I liked how the vines and bushes crept down the bridge sides
  • Huge Picture In The Right Top Corner- OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS PIC!!! I'll explain it more in the end
  • Middle Left-This sculpture that had blown my mind away. I thought it was a ramp at first!
  • Bottom Left Corner-It's a random red building that was interesting. Nothing much.
  • 2nd Photo On The Bottom-Shiny buildings! That's it. Truthfully, I didn't care much for the photo.
  • 3rd Photo On The Bottom-Entrance to the door...something with the number 77. It was my favorite number at the time. Not anymore. Let's just say it had to do with a boy.
  • Bottom Right Corner-Same sculpture the Middle Left
  • Middle Right-Interesting sculpture. Near the theatre
  • Underneath [I Love Chicago] Sign- Biggest, most open car parking area I have ever seen! Loved it!
  • Right of [I Love Chicago] Sign- Taxi. It's not like I've never seen a taxi before. I live in Iowa. Not in a corn field. I just thought it was funny that it was red and yellow...
  • Underneath [Taxi]-I don't know who these people are, or why they were there, or anything at all about them. I blanked out their faces. I just thought they were funny because they were all wearing drench coats. Drench coat crew!

Well, that's it! I'll have to post about my fav pic later.

Adious!

Mamma Mia!

Bonjour! This is your favorite Carly! Unless you know another Carly and you...whatever. Never Mind.
I'll just tell you one thing.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE MOVIE MAMMA MIA.
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT.

I DON'T THINK...

The name just fit well with the circumstance.
You probably know of Pal and Tango, my Shetland Sheepdogs! I was texting my good friend Lynn and she said she had been reading my blog earlier today and saw my shelties. She has one too, so I walked over there and saw her pup, Mia! She told me all about her, and there were tons of hilarious stuff about her! I thought, Hey, this would make a neat new section to my blog, Funny Stuff you've seen Someone/Something do! So I chatted a bit more, then headed back to my house and sat here! She texted me some stories about her! And I sent them to my email and copy and pasted them here! So Here You Go!
Lynn: Hi! This is my Shetland sheepdog, Mia! Once, she was in the snow and she [randomly] decided to lay down in the snow! {Carly here! In case you didn't know, Iowa snow at this time of year is DREADFUL! It's usually a foot or so deep! Mia would have been covered the minute she lied down! } Then, she decided to eat the yellow snow! {You should understand that...} [Then] she saw a bird after it rolled in the snow {Haha! Penguins roll in the snow....sorry that just had to be said...sorry.} Then, [after all this mayhem she had done] she went to the door, telling us she was done. Then she barked at our cat [the second she stepped back in] and ran around the house a few times {Isn't her energy all gone?} Then, she went to sleep.
Right below here there are a few pics of Mia!




Thanks for reading! Bye!
xoxo Carly!

Bathtime!

Hola!
Oh my goodness. I'll tell you one thing:
When planning on giving an injured dog a bath, plan on getting soaked.
You're probaly saying, Well, duh. That's kind of like the whole point of a dog bath, [on] planning to get drenched.
But please understand. He can hardly stand up on his own. How was I to know that he was quite capeable of standing up and shaking himself dry in the tub? Doesn't make much sense. But I guess it kinda does. Actually, it doesn't. Scratch that.
I have some pics of it, so here you go.
  1. Pal's laying on the floor. Tons of towels 'round him. Fairly dried off.
  2. My view from the stairs. He's looking much healthier!





UPDATE!

Pally has walked today! Couple of steps, not nearly as much as Tango had been walking at this point, but clearly a big move! Pal looks much more "perky" and seems to be much, much happier!

Poodwaddle

Hola! This is Carly!
I'm sort of a random person, and I like random things.So when one of my readers emailed me about this cool site, www.Poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf ,I just had to check it out!
It's this amazing site that has tons of features, like how many crimes have happened this second, or how many tons of cereal have been produced this year. There are tons of different features, and I could spend hours just seeing what is happening in our world right now.

Check it out!
xoxo Carly!

New Who-The 11th Doctor

Hola! The results are in, and the new Doctor is Matt Smith!
If you watch Dr. Who, you would know that there have been 10 doctors over the years until last night, when Doctor 11 was announced. The past Doctors have been:
  1. William Hartnell
  2. Patrick Troughton
  3. Jon Pertwee
  4. Tom Baker
  5. Peter Davison
  6. Colin Baker
  7. Sylvester McCoy
  8. Paul McGann
  9. Christopher Eccleston
  10. David Tennant
  11. Matt Smith

All of these Doctors have had their own trademark-type thing, such as always Peter Davison wearing a piece of celery, Colin Baker always carrying an umbrella and wearing rather bright clothing, and now David Tennant and his amazing shoes (those All-Star like ones...who makes his shoes anyways?).

I wonder how well of a Doctor Matt Smith will turn out to be, as he is the youngest actor ever to play the role of our favorite Time Lord, at the young age of 26! That is three years younger than the 2nd youngest Doctor, Peter Davison who auditioned for the Doctor at age 29.

Well, that's all I have to say. Check out some of the Doctor's pictures in the newspaper at the bottom of this page. Thanks!

xoxo Carly
