The Snow, The Ice, and The AM

Being ill. It puts my body in confusion... So after waking up well before my alarm, and not being able to return to a great sleep, I started a project. I need more beads for my icicles. So, I was only able to make one.

I figured out how to make snowflakes though. They only take over an hour each. :/

So, my accumulation for over three hours of work:

2 Snowflakes

1 Icicle

2 Charlie Brown movies (and then some)

The Snow:

The Ice:

The Setup:

Yes, I was using my phone before 7 AM.

I hope some still love me!

:D

Pressing on!

Learning

If out of all the knowledge I have acquired during my college experience, I want this one valuable piece of education to last longer than the time until my very future return.

That is this:

<*))sweedish))-{

I think that would be the emoticon of a most great snackfood that exists. I will let it be on my blog to remind me how fascinated I was to discover it.

Try fish!

Don't ask how I discovered it.

Ice

I got crafty. Probably the first time in 6 or so years I have been this crafty.

I made these.

It took me a couple hours, but I now have eight icicles!

My mom taught me how to make them and we would sit on her bed and do them together at the end of the year, working to do some for Christmas.

That is a very special memory for me. She loved Christmas.

It may have rubbed off some.

I like winter :)

 I love snow :) 

I want to put these on my tree. I already started :)

The best part: Being warm, inside, with friends and family.

 Happy Winter! 

(12 degrees when I went to class this morning! ~ gotta love it!)

Post

Tree hunting.

Too Big.

♫♪ Oh Christmas Tree... ♪♫♪♫♪

Supposed to do!? What does THAT mean!?

Paper? Write a paper?

Research? It has to have that?

What I should have done?

Oh well, it gets covered in red marks, with things circled, crossed out and suggestions made.

I don't like that.

It would look something like this:

pfft.

Who would do that over this!?

... there were several of this mirrored photo shoot, but... 

Ha ha ha!

I get to keep those to myself!

For the rest of what I did:

statement: I love sprinkles.

I love things that sparkle! (and sprinkles)

I also like that these adorn:

I like adornment!

It is sad when sprinkles don't go back where they go, 

but it does make for interesting photos.

These photo attempts are reminiscent of a great photographer.

I no longer reside with her, but she has been presented before.

-Oh Q.-

For the rest of the time that I have spent between recent posts, I have little to post.

I do think this will suffice though.

'He' is part of 'Her' Always.

Just as 'He' is what makes her 'She'.

Thank you HERSHEY Bar for this realization.

See! Chocolate is great!

So many parallels can be drawn!

Until the next post.

I hope you will not feel this way:

The return makes one love the farewell.

October

I am afraid of not posting for more than a month!

So, here is something wonderful for you to see for the moment you do.

Happy Halloween!

Oops

Maybe my computer is begging for my attention and assistance.

Oops.

Don't worry. I have it on the charger again!

Some of the best moments.

I excite my tongue.

I feel smooth textures.

I feel melting.

I feel crunch.

I taste sweetness.

I feel the cool.

I taste the rich flavor of chocolate.

Chocolate Satin Pie.

*The similar arrangement of the utensils was pure happenstance. 

My life is good.

Word

I learned a new word for this post.

So, I will use it.

This picture is a fête for you mind.

:)

I could not put 'eye candy'. 

That is a fruit.

Work.

I will try to make you slightly jealous of the work I do.

Who would not like to be working in a place like this?

This is not a lunch break. That is my toolbox.

We have tractor races.

It was bouncy.

I won.

"Wow! I remember that!! That was a fantastic day."

I feel that I can trust that you know the times when you happen to be looking through photos and you come across great memories and you think to yourself, 

"Wow! I remember that!! That was a fantastic day." 

Then you ponder and smile at the memory of each moment that held significance of that day.

Then your thoughts are directed back to the photos that triggered these memories.

Once again you, as I did, return to the speech part of the thoughts and think,

"I don't think that I have proclaimed to the world how wonderful this day was for me by sharing these photos that I had intended for doing so. I'd better fix that even though I should go to sleep and my computer has... !!!!!!! 1% Battery!!??" (frantic search for power chord before this post is lost)

Then I continue to create this post hoping that the world may accept an increment of my joy at the memory of this day.

Thank you Baskin Robins for the awesome ice cream cone with chocolate and candies

Q, I know you get this compliment so often it has become... dull... but, je le vous diray.

You are... 'rock sauce'.

I would not mind if I had many, many more days such as this.

World, please accept a portion of the joy I wish to share with you, because this day I will remember for a long time.

Because You Are Great! You Are Amazing!

Smile!

Please.

I love my lips!

On the day I got my tooth

I had to kiss my Great Aunt Ruth

She had a beard, and it felt weird.

                             She had a beard and it felt weird?

She had a beard.

But really, I don't mean that.

I love my lips because I... well....

It Felt Good on My Lips.

Click on it, grooveshark is a friendly site.

I hear this song and go :D

Big smile!

You know, I've been thinking. -A dangerous pastime!- I know.

I have decided to change my blog slightly.

Simply for the reason that I can!

Visual Entertainment:

Thinking:

I have often desperately wished for my mind to give me words that would be profound and resonate truth to share with all I come in contact with. But, as someone told me the other day, I am a girl of few words. Thinking about this statement, I have found so much truth. I repeat things over and over again only using different approaches. It is a sobering thought. I have almost nothing to say to anyone. I have few questions to ask and little to speak of. I repeat. I repeat the things I hear from others, the knowledge that I gain and the experiences I have had.

I will end this post. I can see the repetition in this text, in a circular path. Can you?

And Here Is Discovery of Some Songs :)

Oh, It Is Love

The End 

- the last while is smile worthy :) -

More

and

I See The Light

I am quite enjoying Matthew West music from the album 'Happy'.

And so... I think that I am picking back up on this blogging thing... I suppose further posts will verify how accurate my thinking is!

And To Think Someday...

I would like something like this someday...

I might have one quite similar.

This is a cake from a wedding of a friend of mine.

I like it a great deal.

And that is a random insight you have to me!

And I Like This...

Illegal or not... I stole this.

I think it is beautiful.

Anchorage, Alaska.

And that is a pearl that I have to show you. Thank you.

And Yes, I Am Still Alive :)

I am out of the valley.

I am next to the mountain.

I am happy :)

I am alive :D

I have Pictures I want to share with all of you!!

-For Q-

And for now, that is all I have planned to share with you :)

And To Humor You...

I believe.

ATTENTION: I figured out why I'm fat. The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my body says. "for extra volume & body." I am going to start using Dawn dish soap instead, it says 'dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove."


And that should at least cause you to think about having a smile on your face. :)

And Where Did I Go?

I have been recently quite occupied with school, sociableness,
and almost obtaining sleep.

I have almost terminated my account on the event (or, rather, un-eventfulness)
of this lack of activity. So, do not be surprised, my whole two followers, that I am on a extended hiatus.

And this is my almost most sincere apology.

~J Brothersen.

And what is in the Marry Poppins bag? Day 12

What is in my bag?

ect.

And the real question ought to be: What could I not fit in there?

And Who Are My Siblings? Day 11

My Siblings.

Should I begin by answering the question I asked or skip it all together and simply state that my sisters are the best that could have ever been allowed to have and it is most likely a very good thing that I have no brothers. I have only two sisters.

I think that my second idea was much better than the first and still is relevant to the question. My sisters are the most kind, thoughtful, supportive, teasing, fun-loving, hard working, humorous, ludicrous, exquisitely beautiful... (ect. because of my lack of extraordinary vocabulary) ... sisters that I could ever have and are perfect in my eyes.

And this is like trying to scratch a diamond with your fingernail, the diamond of course representing how highly I think of my sisters.

And I Wore... Clothes hopefully! Day 10

In effect of my de-bloggness I am compiling the days I missed in one day to try to get 

myself back on track. Thank you for your patience (especially since I gave 

you no choice).

What I wore today.

My attire consisted of a headband, covered with a white ribbon, a BYU long sleeve blue shirt, black tank top, my favorite jeans, a most favorite pair of socks, and my Nike shoes. As per usual, I adorned myself with my class ring and my favorite YW virtues bracelet.

Do not become giddy thinking that I am going to be an all star BYU Molly Mormon. You would then find disappointment in the knowledge that though I do enjoy supporting BYU, I would like to go to the University of Utah for my future education.

And for the purpose of being concise, I shall stop there for now.

And What Is It That You Believe? Day 09

A few days behind...

My Beliefs.

I believe, and have come to my own knowledge, that the only complete and true church on the earth at this time is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I believe that families can be together for longer than forever, but in fact, eternity.

I believe that there is a time and a purpose for everything.

I believe that only one person who has dwelt on this is was perfect, and he 

is Jesus Christ.

I am nowhere near to pretend that I am perfect.

I believe that work is required in all things.

Silly, ludicrous, beliefs.

The number zero does exist.

Cats are one of the most selfish, and self serving (if they must) creatures on the earth.

Mosquitos have few other purposes besides to pester those who change water irrigation lines and those cast members in the Mormon Miracle Pageant, most particularly those in the Christ in America Scenes.

"Life is pain... anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something" 

(-The Princess Bride)

Though, I must point out, you do not know pain without the intense joy that 

also exists in life.

This list is a continual work in process. Some things I hope to keep 

permanent, others may change!

And so, that is not the end!

And it was the moment I saw 'Tall, Dark and Handsome'! Day 8.

A moment.

My day has been incredibly eventful from sharing the fact of the poor quality of teaching my english professor has, to watching a large carpet rug being twirled on one hand, being taken to Africa, to seeing that one who was 'Tall, Dark, and Handsome'.

This one was filled with something that filled me with surprise, and gave me so much energy to laugh and act silly.

Practically like consuming liquid sugar!

No, no boy in my life do not fret.

Yes. Tonight I was introduced to Apple Beer.

'Twas a exciting moment!

Bahahahahahahaha!!!

(Yup, still on that sugar high!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I hope I fooled you. I thought it was incredibly mischievous.

And it is time for... day 7 – Your best friend .

Yes, I have been procrastinating this post all day.

No, as much as I have thought about this I have no simple answer.

.....

I was so ready for a post that I would not ramble and would have better relevance.

I will have to wait longer.

My best friends are my Savior, my family and a few select close friends.

I do not have just one.

And that makes me extremely fortunate.

And this is my day. In too many words. A.K.A. Day 6

Today is Saturday the 26th of February, and has been quite eventful.

12:00 AM, I listened to my roommates discuss important, in-depth, things to us in this current stage of life. I quite enjoyed being able to listen to help me understand them better. I also learned a few small things about and applicable to my life. Soon after I was too tired to think straight much at all, and finally allowed myself to rest.

6:28 AM I wondered what could was making such a racket. Turns out I had been very smart to turn the noise on for my phone so that I would get up! Yes, I figure you may question why I would be getting out of bed this early on a Saturday morning, so I will explain. Doughnuts. On sale. Need you know more? Early morning special for glazed doughnuts and I am so blessed to have friends who give me this information and help me take advantage of it!

7:00 AM Leaving.

7:~~ AM -> Raid of the doughnuts! And chocolate milk... and some of the most wonderful roll dough in existence, but with cinnamon bits :) My companions raided the rest of the store, and the $2 breakfast that was being served.

9:15 AM Arrived at the homestead. It was snowing outside in a flurry-like way. I ate another doughnut or... two... ect.

Shortly after 10:00 AM I was slightly regretting the "ect." Oi. 
I also began contemplating arguable points. Mostly in effect of yesterdays post. What is it to "like"? What is it to "love"? Thorough my life I have always found it frustrating to be asked the question of if I 'like' someone. Really? Come on! That is so biased of a question. In addition this question cannot be answered in a direct manner. I have rarely come to a conclusion where I can honestly say 'yes' or 'no' without some exceptions that counteract the straight answer. So many things I say seem to have an asterisk at the end. There is so much additional information and there are so many exceptions that, as I mentioned before, make it feel almost impossible to give a direct and absolute answer. This, though it is fairly repetitive, is a small portion of my thoughts on the subject and it seems so poorly portrayed but it is what I can do. I was thinking about such complicated things for a while, but this seems to be the one that I remember.


10:30ish AM Party in the kitchen.
11:15ish AM Party gone, but I am on my computer looking at pictures! I went through so many!


12:30 PM I decided it was nap time. What did I do? facebook. Surprise surprise. Nobody posted anything in the whole hour plus I was on. Lame.


 1:30 PM Nap time. For real. Zzzzzzzz
6:30 PM I decided I was hungry. More hungry than sleepy. Oh yea, it was snowing.
7:20 PM I choose to post on my blog.

And to conclude my day I would like to say that sleep would be a most delicious food.

And They Call It Love. Day 5.

Define Love.

<3

Umm... Say what!?

It seems a little unusual and strange to come up with such a 

definition to share with those of the world that may come across this. 

I would like to express myself as accurately as possible but must use the 

ideas of others to assist me in this venture.

Doing some consulting with dictionaries, I have come to a conclusion of sorts.

Love is multi-faceted.

There is not one meaning in existence (to my knowledge) that could 

accurately define love in every situation. I think it is nearly impossible to say 

to someone that you love them and have them understand 

exactly what you intend.

<3 Def. 2 of Webster says Love: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion.

I have found that using this definition is inaccurate to suggest in most cases 

without a great deal of explanation because really, who could be much more 

accurate in wording than a dictionary!?

<3 Def. 3 says Love: (a) The object of attachment, devotion, or admiration 

(b) a beloved person

I think the first is quite self explanatory, but the second... what is beloved? 

I found it could be defined as to be dearly loved. Someone who is precious.

<3 Def. 4 states that Love is unselfish loyal and benevolent 

concern for the good of another.

I think that this is an incredibly apt description of Christs' love. 

Again, (because I have at least thought it before) I 

must state that this is slightly awkward to bring up my religious beliefs. 

The problem is that I cannot think of anything else of my experience to

 share how I feel about this definition. Because of my experiences throughout 

my life, this definition is important to me. The difficult thing is 

to explain why, of which I cannot yet do.

Anywho...

The definition of sorts that you may have all been expecting!

<3 Def. 1 Love: (a) strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal 

ties (b) affection and tenderness felt by lovers (c) affection based 

on admiration, benevolence, or common interests

Somehow all of these work! Crazy thing though... there are more that would work.

And on that thought I hope to complete this post... its so long already.

<3

And the topic of the 4th day goes to....

"What you ate today"

What did I eat today?

As you can see... there is little evidence of what there is to tell you!

I am going out to eat tonight though!

OoOoOo!

I hope it will be yummy and I can eat most of it!

Today is too good to waste. I decided that this morning even though I did not have 

any idea of what it had in store for me. I got up, attempted to look exceptional, 

and then decided to be treated to dinner elsewhere :) I am excited. My professors

 are in tune with my idea I think... today has been that good!

And that is... was... the end of that!

And this will be the 3 of the days.

For my post today, I think, that even though it is slightly awkward, 

I will give a brief bit of my parents as was suggested.

----------------------------------------

My dad. The hard worker with one of the most wonderful smiles :)

My step-mom, We just have too much fun Playin'!

And because I could not find a satisfactory picture of 

my mom, I thought this beautiful flower would 

be appropriate. Because she is not with me for this life, I am ok 

remembering that she was simply beautiful.

Plus, I took this picture at a Temple Open House, adding to how special it is to me.

-------------------------------------------

I love all these people so very much and am so blessed to have them in my life.

That may be weird to everyone else to read knowing that 

my mom passed away, but I cannot deny that I feel her 

helping me time to time and see how she has helped me
now from while we were together.

And who could have parents better suited?

And this I shall name the name of the 'Second Day', but not of the week.

Because you will likely will have to look for it, I thought 

it looked like a heart, So I took a picture.

So, a few people may be curious to 

what my first love is... or was... or just 'the' first love I had.

I am curious to know this also.

I will save you all your vexation to tell 

you that I have no person to be, or who is, my 'first love'.

So far.

Now that I have that out of the way, I can 

mention some alternate possibilities.

They could be:

My family.

My church.

My understanding.

My appreciation of friends.

My knowing how to work.

My playing in the mud (but only when getting paid).

If there are more, I will not be going to entertain 

you with those things now. I just don't feel like it.

And I once again, do not end.

And I start... again.

I am Jamie, a person who feels confused of what the 

exact purpose of a blog is, but is giving it a shot.

Now, now, don't get too overcome.

Light travels faster than sound, thats why 

some people appear to be smart until you hear them speak.

I like:

Funny Moments in life. This was a handicapped 

parking spot. The blue sign said so.

The Ninjas of Where's Waldo.

To play on the assumptions of silly people.

You fell for it!

Because you may have assumed too

 quickly, I should inform you that I am not an alcoholic 

and have no intentions of consuming any alcoholic beverage.

Picturesque views.

Intriguing architecture.

This picture.

And to not finish again...

And many other things.
