Jilly Jelly Billy Belly

Ever since I was a little girl, a nickname that my parents gave me (along with dozens others including Jill Pill, Jilly Jilly Caterpilly, and one from my grandma J-Rae), was Jilly Bean. Also, Jilly Billy.


Now with that in mind...


At work our sweet seamstress can get back up with technical alterations. One of these hard days I helped finish beading a wedding dress. And for the help, Kathy (the seamstress) got me a box of Jelly Belly's!!!


How appropriate!


Now I have my very own box of jelly beans. 10 colors and 10 flavors! But what to do with them? Besides eat them, of course. Let's band together and be creative! How many random flavors can we create with the basic 10! Blueberry, Buttered Popcorn, Cinnamon, Coconut, Licorice, Tangerine, Green Apple, Juicy Pear, Watermelon, and Very Cherry!

Every once in a while you come up with a hard decision in your life. Here I am at a cross roads. And, for those who know me, this is going to be a difficult decision.


So this is where I need you. What do you think I should do?


Both of these pieces of art are phenomenal.


But I can only afford one this pay check.


Which ones should I get and why?

Love You Long Time Not That Long

On Thursday, Nov 12th, the band Love You Long Time played their last show in Provo. After only 5 years, and tons of concerts, the band is ending.

"I said a boom chickracka chickrack chickarack chicka boom!"

We got everyone together to stand in line to see them perform. Performing to LYLT means, dancing, jumping, singing, break dancing, crunking, sweating, skipping, bouncing, rocking, shaking, and any other violent movement of the body. What Parker and I call a GREAT TIME!

The show was held at Velour in Provo. I had never gone to a concert in Provo before, so this was a first. We stood in line for an hour in the cold. To stay warm, we danced, and sang, and shivered. Always well worth it.

No need for excess, no greed or best dressed
let's be true to the life we're living
we'll sing a song worth singing
Let's get straight to the point
you're just a girl and I'm just a boy
you're not your purse, and I'm not my car
we are who we are
Be real, just nonsense and a little jibber Jabber
and let's forget what that silly world is chasing after
because fame and fortune frusturate
but life and love they liberate
drop pride and be alive
give someone a high fiiiiiiivvvvveeeee...







(All of a sudden it is underlined and I can't figure out how to get rid of it... sighh)

With every concert, there are always a few bands that come.


The first band was "Can't Stop, Won't Stop".

Never having heard them before, it was still a fun show! They were really fresh, kept a great beat, and had great crowd interaction. I would go back to see them again.


The second band was "The Vibrant Sound".

I enjoyed them as well. Not as much bounce and beat. But they had a sound almost like Chronic Future mixed with Incubus. It was great "feel good" music.

seize the day,
put the past away.
his heart skipped a beat.
and with the change of times,
he changed his mind,
and would not admit defeat.
he said i cant take this,
i don't want fake this,
anymore.
he quieted the crowd and took the floor..

he said i can feel life,
runnin through my bones,
cause i was born for more than this.
so he decided to see,
more than his eyes provide.
i was born to love
i was born to love
i was born to do more than what the last one did.

break it down.
