I made up my own jingle this morning…
“Type D-O-U-Z…
and you’ll get to me!”
It is about time I defined the word Douz since it is part of my website address. In 2007 when I was looking into creating a blog website, I wanted to name it something unique and creative. But I also wanted it to be like a “daily” thing. So I looked up French words and found “douz” and understood at the time that it meant “dose.” (So it was Marci’s Daily Dose, really.) Well you can research Douz and you’ll find an oasis in Tunisia called Douz, travel websites, pictures of camels, etc.
In conclusion, maybe I ended up creating this word and making the definition to be “dose” for the English translation. Who knows? I do believe it is a French word though and you pronounce it like ‘Doose.’
P.S. Douz (pronunciation: d’us)

I had the thought to update everyone about my Russian Dwarf Hamster named Pip. I had him out the other day, in his rolly ball, and he was running around my kitchen and living room – just having the time of his life. So here is a quick video of Pip.
The video was made with my Samsung Solstice cell phone so it’s not the best quality but until I can afford something better, this will have to do. But you get the idea that my hamsters are doing fine! 
They are furry, cute animals that keep my mood up whenever I am feeling down.
Wanna see what I see on my drive to work every day??
Did you see that?! Oh… you didn’t? Close-up? Okay.
Yes, that is for real. It’s in Utah and it’s called the Krishna temple. Okay then.
Oh, you caught that? I DID get a job! It’s part time on a trial basis for now but we’ll see if it turns into full time! Yay for me! 1 unemployed person employed again after almost a YEAR.
*Update: I was employed for this company for only 3 weeks. Time to move on to bigger and better.
I just wanted to share some cute photos I’ve snapped of my nephews lately while I’ve been babysitting them. I have such a good time with them, playing whatever they play and getting on the floor with them. And the best thing is seeing them smile.
Here is Marcus and I – a bit blurry but still a good moment.
Playing with baby.
Here is their second child, Lucas, making faces at me for the photo.
Here is Travis, their oldest, a great one of him smiling next to his baby brother, Marcus.

After the four day string of very bad accidents this past week, there were a few more accidents that happened over the weekend. It is a holiday weekend so most companies give their employees the day off on Monday for Labor Day. Still, please drive safely.
*Saratoga Springs Rollover happened on 9/4/10.
*ATV crash near Daniels Summit happened on 9/4/10.
*Dump-truck Driver runs Red Light happened on 9/5/10.
*South Jordan Accident happened on 9/5/10.
*ATV crash up American Fork Canyon happened on 9/5/10.
**This will be posted late Sunday night so there could be more to come from Monday, Labor Day.
And another pretty bad accident in the Utah County stretch of freeway. This one involved two cars and both rolled over. Both drivers were ejected and taken to hospitals immediately. This accident was due to reckless driving. Here is the story: Double Rollover Accident 9/3/10.
Butch and I were driving up towards Salt Lake at this time and got stuck in the resulting traffic from this accident. It was around 5 pm when we passed by and the BMW SUV was already on a tow truck but really smashed in and the Trailblazer was completely unrecognizable and off the road! They were picking up the Trailblazer by crane as we passed by.
As of yet, this accident hasn’t been fatal but the drivers aren’t clear yet. I guess one driver had surgery tonight. Again, please slow down people!!
AND A THIRD fatal accident on our local freeway here in Utah within THREE DAYS. (The second accident).This one was in Provo and they directed the entire freeway traffic off and through the cities of Orem and Provo until the freeway was opened again. All lanes were blocked at the scene. This is madness! I was traveling in Orem, just about to get on the freeway going Southbound but the lanes were blocked by police. So then I noticed it was empty and all the traffic was coming off the freeway and into the roads I was driving on. CRAZY traffic!! I eventually went the ‘back way’ through town to get back to Springville. I wanted to rubberneck though to see if I could see anything from the accident. I drove through Provo on the roads just beneath the freeway overpasses to see any glimpse of it but didn’t catch anything. I would have snapped a pic and posted it on here for you guys to see. Sorry.
Anyway, possible drugs/alcohol involved. The lady who caused the accident was arrested with a DUI. And one 71-year old man died as a result of this madness. Here is the full story: Provo Accident 9/2/10. And here is another version of this same accident: Daily Herald Provo Accident.
Again, PLEASE drive safely people!! Your destination will still be there when you arrive, you don’t need to speed! These construction barriers and lane changes are what I think is causing all this chaos, so please slow down for everyone’s safety. Thank you.
Apparently there was another fatal accident in Utah County. This one happened in the morning hours and more than one person died as a result. Here is the story: Santaquin Accident 9/2/10.
Provo residents (a woman and her 2 children) died from this accident. From the story: “A sport utility vehicle traveling north in the inside travel lane went to the right, then began to spin back left toward the median. Police say the vehicle rolled through the median and across southbound lanes down to the frontage road.”
Wow. Please drive safely! This is the second accident in Utah County this week!
