Our house is built like a casle. It is made out of cinder block, and so it does not keep heat in very well. Around the house you will see me in multiple sweaters with hoods on to keep me warm. But it is nearly imposible to warm up my feet. I will put layers of socks on, but my feet are so ice cold that they never quite thaw out. I have had to invent creative ways of keeping my feet and toes at a comfortable temperatuer. One way is to find one of our cats and have it sit on my feet. It is a rare ocation when this works becasue cats have a mind of their own. and dont like to sit were they are put. A more effective way is to have some one sit on my feet, but as the house hold gets smaller it becomes more difficult to find a person who will help me. So I have invented a way that is fool proof. I fill the tub with a little bit of piping hot water, and just slosh my feet in it for a wile. Then i dry them off and put on two layers of warm dry socks on. and i try to avoid stepping cold surfaces. Billy happend to walk by when I was doing this, he gave me a weird look and then took a picture.

The Jelly Beans
Jelly beans are one of my favorite candys. I first liked them when we went on a trip to grandmas in idaho, and me and hillary rode with Julie and
Marks family. We had a big bucket of Jelly beans. By the time we got to Idaho, all we had left were the nasty flavors, and dull colors. We also had those Harry potter, every flavored beans, and we would always try to make the other eat the nasty flavors.
The most dreaded flavors were the coffee flavors. When you ate them there would be a sickening mass that eaped from your mouth, and breath. They are pretty discusting. We found out that if you eat a Coffee, lemon, Roasted marshmallow, and popcorn, it would either tast like a Janitors closet, or an airport. That was pretty fun.

We always get a bag of beans. Vera gave me 
some after lindseys wedding, and i think i ate most of the bag, because i was home alone. I got about 2 bags for my birthday, and i still have some of them left, except they are all the discolored, nasty flavors.

My favorite company that makes them is called Gimbles, or something like that. They ahve about 40 flavors. They also have recipies on the back, where you mix different beans to make different things, like blueberry muffins, Rootbeer floats, and other ones.

The pictures are of me emily and hillary sorting the jelly beans into colors; wile mom was away.

Parking....Grr
In travel from kearns up to the U every saturday for Utah Youth symphony... i dont feel like parking far away to walk a wile. So i always park across the street from the Gardner Center (music building). I have parked there for the past 6 months, and never have had any problems, it has a No parking sign with an exeption on saturday/sunday/holidays. Yeserday i was leaving symphony and i got in my car, and drove off.
At a stop light i noticed a paper on my windsheild. I knew it was a parking violation, but i couldnt check until i got home. So i get home and read it, and i got a parking citation, which costs $30. I was a little mad, i havnt told my parents yet, but if they are reading then they know now, and i am paying for it. I could fight it, but its only 30, so oh well. But i think they gave it to me because there is the Sign that says No parking sat/sun/holidays, and then 100 feet in front of that is a sign that says No parking execpt sundays. I was parked in between both of them. Now im a criminal and no body can trust me, just watch out, i might park in-front of your house.
