Wildcats

Today we played against the Wild Cats. We tied 2-2. I wish we could have won but,it's better than losing. I really got in some good kicks! I played Defense the whole time. I mean, I played the WHOLE GAME without any breaks. Mom says that this was our best game of the whole season!
I had a lot of fun!

Every Day in May #5

This one is for MY room! I designed it myself! I love dragons, soccer and Pooh. I mean, who can't love Pooh bear.

Every Day in May #4

I made this sign for Doug's room. Mom is going to print it out and hang it up in his room!

Every Day in May #3

This (as you proabably know) is by brother, Doug. I thought this was a good picture of him so I decided to make it my Every Day in May #3 post.

A poster for Debbie and Shane

I made this poster for Debbie and Shane at SUGAR AND SPICE AND A LITTLE RICE. I hope they like it. She never sent me the graphics she wanted so I used my own and came up with this. I really hope they like it. In a way I'm kind of glad they never got around to sending me the graphics because I really like this one!

Every Day in May #2

Today has been a lousy, rainy day. Lisa came over but, didn't bring Violet. Little ol' Vi got into lots of trouble with her mommy. She made a BIG mess in Lisa's garage and Lisa got mad and decided that Violet couldn't come with her to my house. *HUFF*
As we went out to meet Lisa, Rayna found 3 little snails! She was very excited and brought them into the house so that all could see. Lisa, thought they were disgusting. The rest of us thought that they were all quite cool! Mom and I (of course) grabbed our cameras and snapped away. I particularly liked the itty, bitty, teensy, tinsy, little one best.

Every Day in May #1

I'm doing a Every Day in May thing so you have to post something you made or a picture or something. I made this for my blog and am just now getting around to posting it! Here's my Every Day in May Post #1.

BYCTWD 2

BYCTWD for me was so lousy! I got a HORRIBLE earache and had to go home. I felt terrible and missed the rest of BYCTWD. *sob* I came home and Mom wasn't home so I went to Grandma and Grandpa C's house. I laid down and slept for about 4 hours. (I think) With a temp' of 100 degrees.
I'd write more but, I'm limited on how much time I have on the 'net so I'll post more about it later.

BYCTWD

Tomorrow is Bring Your Child to Work Day.

I ALWAYS go with Daddy to BYCTWD. You have the choice of staying with your parent or going on this tour thing that they do every year with some little theme. This years theme is some sort of construction theme thing again. I'm staying with Daddy. I ALWAYS stay with Daddy. I've NEVER gone on the tour thing. And Daddy even takes me around and introduces me to some of the people he works with! I always go see certain peoples while I'm there!

Last year I worked with the photographer and went around taking pics of each class. Each class did some sort of project and showed it to the president of the company to be "hired". Not really but, still it's kinda fun to see what sort of stuff the classes come up with! I took 400 pics and the lady I was with only took about 40! In fact I took so many pictures in each class I was nicknamed "Camera Girl" by the kids that were in there! in almost every class I was called "Camera Girl" at least once!!!!
They put some of my pics in a newsletter and at the bottom it said, "Pictures taken by Darcy C******" I was so excited to see my name in the company newsletter!!!!!! YAY!
This year I'm only taking pictures half of the day so I'll only get about hmmmm, 200 pics!
I hafta wear a skirt cuz I hafta look like a pro. woohoo. yay. I HATE SKIRTS!!!!!!!!


At the end of the day the company gives all the kids a bag full of stuff and ICE CREAM!!! (best part of day, well, mebbe not but it's still very fun part of day!!!!)

Ok. New subject. Food.
Last night I helped Mom cook a pizza that had bacon, eggs, parsley, cheese and garlic on it!! We got the recipe from a Rachel Ray book that we got at Doug's school's Book Fair. Mom bought this Rachel Ray 30 minute recipe book and thought the recipe sounded good so, we tried it!
I helped her do the pizza! It took longer than 30 minutes but, it was our first try so we didn't do so bad for our first time did we?

Ok. I gotta go do my (slimey, good fer nuthin', creepy, dirty, scummy, icky, idiotic, stupid, dumb, lice-infested, flea-ridden,) math *shudder*

I've been tagged!

YAY! I'VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE THINKING BLOGGER AWARD!!!!!!! Well, whoever out there nominated me (mom nominated me hehe!) is a poor soul under the impression that I AM A DEEP THINKER! I am only nominating 3 instead of 5 people because Emmie did 7. So I am evening out the "Blogger" scales of nomination. (Not to mention I don't know of that many blogs that haven't been tagged already!)



Here are my choices:


Landlife - I really like Landlife because it makes me laugh about what they've been doing with "Flat Reed". I mean, he's done dishes and done laundry and all sorts of stuff I don't even do! (very often anyway!)

Sister 2 Two - I know Mom already nominated you, Emmie but, I really like your blog! I figured if you nominated 7 people already you shouldn't have any trouble finding another 5-7 blogs you like!



Hunanspice - I really like this blog because there are so many cute pictures of Spicy Girl! Spicy Girl is just too cute!

Hope you all like the blogs I've picked!

All About Rivendell

Rivendell is a Australian Shepherd Mix. She's black with a little bit of red on her back. She has curly fur! She had straight fur one day then it seemed like just overnight she turned curly on us!
Rivvie's best friend is Violet.

We found her along side the road with her brother, Napoleon. We had to give Napoleon away. I think that it's so mean to dump puppies along side the road like that. But, in this case I'm glad whoever dumped her dumped her where I'd find her! Mom told me that I could pick out one of them. Rohan looked like a little black and white panda bear! Rivvie is so cute!

Rivvie hasn't really gotten into many mishaps or anything. She's a smart puppy. Rivvie likes to run races with me on my bike and her on foot (or paw). Even though I'm on my bike she still almost always wins. Not fair I think.

Riv gets car-sick real easily. She threw-up on me (and my new pants!) one time when we were going to the vets. GROSS.

Since she hasn't really gotten into much trouble I don't have a lot to write about! She's never gotten lost or shot (thankfully!) nothing bad has ever happened to her. Except for getting dumped by some jerk.

Mom told me that someone at LANDLIFE was waiting on this post. I think Landlife is a cool site!

All About Violet

Violet is a black and brown German Shepherd. She has brown eyes and a cute face. Violet isn't ours. She's Lisa's, but Lisa lets Violet come over and play sometimes. Lisa calls our dogs Violet's country cousins! Violet loves to come and play with Rivvie. Violet is just SO cute! When Violet comes over to visit us she and Rivvie ALWAYS go playing in the woods and get all dirty!! They go down to the creek and swim and they almost always manage to get into SOME kind of trouble!
Violet likes to "play" soccer with me!


I tried to train her to "Come" but, I didn't have enough time to get it done.
One time when I was just finishing up a "training session" she went over in the side of our yard and brought me a present. She brought me a five-point deer antler!!!!!!! She just picked it up in her mouth and dropped it at my feet!! I was so excited! Grandma and Grandpa even came over to see it!

Violet's Adventure's:

1. At the age of 3 months Violet managed to get lost. On a Sunday. Right before church. Bad timing. We skipped church and had a puppy search. We found her sitting on someone's porch looking at the door like she was waiting for someone to open it for her.

2. Violet fell into the goldfish pond. Twice. Grandpa had to pull her out both times. One time it was on a SUNDAY MORNING AGAIN! (When it was FREEZING cold, outside! She soon had icicles on her fur!) Why do her mishaps always happen on a Sunday. *sigh*

3. Violets latest adventure was just about 2 weeks ago. Tore up a bottle of de-icer while playing in the garage and drank some of it. Lisa had to make an emergency run to the vets and had to have them tell her what to do. Poor Lisa, She was so afraid Violet was gonna die. The vet told her to go to the liquor store and buy 190% alcohol everclear. (Have no idea what the "everclear" part means but, WHO CARES!) Lisa had to water it down with gatorade and force feed it to her poor dog every four hours for the next 24 hours straight. Lisa said that her dog had her tongue hanging out of the side of her mouth, was stumbling around and drooling everywhere! That dog was so DRUNK! "At least she's a friendly drunk" Lisa said.
We went over to our old pastor's house and told him about Violets latest mishap. Mom said that next time he saw Lisa to tease her about seeing her come out of a liquor store. So the next time the pastor saw Lisa, he did just that! Lisa told Mom that inside her head she was thinking "MONICA!!!!" .

4. Lisa came over last Monday and DIDN'T BRING VIOLET!!! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH.
She told us that Violet got into such big trouble that she didn't even want to be in the same car with that dog. Apparently, Miss. Violet managed to tear open a bag of potting soil AND a bag of grass seeds. I should have told Lisa that Violet was just trying to help her plant some grass.

Even though Violet manages to get into all sorts of trouble, She's still one of the nicest dogs I've ever known! (Even though Lisa thinks she's a wild indian!)

All about Gloria ...

I couldn't think of anything to write about and so Mom suggested writing about Gloria.

We got Gloria in March 2000 . I kinda-sorta remember it. There were about 5 puppies in the litter and 4 of them had short, sleek fur and were jumping around. Then there was this puppy that was 2x bigger and 3x furrier than the other ones and instead of jumping around she was just laying on her back tummy-up just ASKING for a tummy-rub. My Gloria is/was JUST SO FURRY AND CUTE!!!!

Even now that Gloria is grown-up she is still cute and furry.
Gloria is a 90 pound lap and furniture dog. Every time I sit down around Gloria she sits on me! Sometimes she even lays down on top of me!

Gloria has black fur, brown eyes and a pointy ears. Mom says she has some newfie in her but, she told me that a newfie has long silky ears.

Gloria's Mishaps:
1. She got lost when she was about five months old. When we found her and pet her it was like she had marbles attatched to her back. There were so many ticks that it took a long time to pull all of them off! The ticks even were filling up the insides of her ears so much that you couldn't see her ear canal openings any more. She had been lost for 6 days and 6 nights. Poor little thing *sniffle* she was just skin and bones when we got her home.

2. When she was almost one year old, Gloria got shot because some geek shot her because she was up in his pasture. Coyotes kill his cows and he blames the dogs. He doesn't move the cow corpses from his pasture and just leaves them there to rot which draws dogs and other animals up to his pasture.

3. Gloria fell in the little goldfish pond and (luckily) Grandpa pulled her out so she wouldn't drown. That goldfish pond has vertical sides and it would be very easy to drown. She still had a cast on her back leg (from when she was shot and her leg was broken) and she had fallen through the ice on the pond.

4. She almost got run-over because she was laying under Grandma and Grandpa's car. Grandpa was backing out and her paw got caught under the wheel and scuffed up some.

5. When Gloria was hunting a big, gray, ugly, mean, male racoon the racoon grabbed hold of her head and started chewing Gloria's nose off.
Mom heard all the commotion and came out to see what was happening and once she saw everything she took a stick and separated the two of them. Gloria's nose looked like hamburger! THEN, even after Mom separated the two of them and the 'coon was running up a tree Gloria jumped FOUR feet into the air, grabbed the coon off the tree and started chewing on the coon again! AAAAAAHHHH! Nutso dog. Mom separated them again and FINALLY the (no good, nasty, pizza faced, pea-brained, FOOL of a 'coon) got away while Mom HELD Gloria back! We called the vet and got Gloria all fixed up.

Anyhow, Gloria has managed to live through many experiences that would have killed a lesser dog. She sure is a good dog though.
I love my Gloria!!!

I have a big mouth...

Your Mouth is a Little Big

You're not a total tell all, but you don't hide who you are either. You've struck a good balance between discretion and sharing. People know you fairly well, at least on a superficial level. You keep your best secrets all to yourself...or maybe your best friend.

Do You Have a Big Mouth?

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
