Delicous!

Hey bloggers! Thanks for all the comments you've been leaving! Hope to post more YouTube videos soon!
Anyways, a couple of days ago, I went to an amazing restaurant called Johnny's Steakhouse! I ordered this AMAZING appetizer that took my breath away! I wasn't very hungry, so I just ordered this dish, which I forgot the name of. Something like Johnny's Ravioli. (pictured) BRILLIANT! FANTASTIC! DELICIOUS! AAAMMMAAAAZZZIIINNNGGG!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely recommend it. The restaurant had an amazing atmosphere, great dessert list, although I didn't have any since I was full (wish I had!), fabulous service, and the music wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear over it, and not so quiet that you couldn't hear it! Loved it!
So, next time you're in Iowa, stop by Johnny's Steakhouse and have a wonderful meal!

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 .

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!

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!

Agatha Christie Short

Sorry, this is long-due.

Merry Christmas!

yeah, that's it. Happy holidays. Tis the season. Fa la la la la. Okay. Happy now?

Just kidding. But I don't feel like sticking on the subject for 10 hours.



Well, for Christmas I've received Doctor Who season 4 DVDs!!!!! YAY! Defiantly one of my favorite gifts! Episode 8 (counting the Titanic-Voyage-Astrid Peth episode/special) is "The Unicorn and the Wasp", which is based on Agatha Christie and what happened those 11 days in 1926 that she went missing. LOVE the episode, an felt like I should explore the real Agatha Christie's disappearance. So off I went on Google, and some might say never to use Wikipedia, but I did. I came to this page which you can reach by clicking this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie .I found out little about her disappearance. But what I did find was this weird thing. Now before you go all "Oh my gosh. You actually believe in Doctor Who?", I don't. I love the show, but am not that psycho. If you go to the bottom of the page, about 1/3 down, you see a graph that lists all her novels. Number 4 is The Man in the Brown Suit. If you watch the show, you'll be all "OMG!!!!!!" like you know what I'm talking about. THE 10TH DOCTOR (Mr. David Tennant) ALWAYS WEARS A BROWN SUIT!!!! Weird, right? Now, the episode right before "The Unicorn and the Wasp" is "The Doctor's Daughter". A Daughter's a Daughter was written in the late 1930s as a play. It was performed professionally once. It was unpublished but turned into the 1952 Mary Westmacott (who actually was Agatha Christie) novel. Odd, huh!
Just a weird thing. Felt like mentioning it. :)
Well, adios!

xoxo Carly
