Jelly Belly's Baby!

Yummy! I love Jelly Belly's but I'm proud to say that this is an old habit that I conquered long ago. These have actually been in the machine for more than 6 months and I hadn't bought any before that for about 7 years. I used to love shopping for the different flavors of this delectable

little treat ~ buttered popcorn was my favorite! Dh, sil and I used to go on long trips and we would spend a lot of our time in the car trying to guess what the flavor of each one was. I loved them so much that sil gave me this Jelly Belly machine one year for Christmas.

As I said, I eventually was able to quit buying (could the price have something to do with that ~ geez these are expensive) and eating these. Recently, I was looking for a way to add more color in my house, and remembered my machine so I put a few in there ~ yes, I need to finish filling it up! They are cheerful looking little things. CC welcome and appreciated.

***Regarding my tornado post yesterday***
Thanks for all your comments, NO, I am NOT a storm chaser. In fact, I used to be so terrified of these and any thunderstorm for that matter you wouldn't have caught me trying to take a picture of one at all! I got so scared of them that it started affecting my life in the summer (we don't have any shelter at our house, so we have to drive to town). When it started affecting my ds (I'm sure as a result of me getting so upset) a few years ago I knew I somehow had to conquer this. With the help of God, I was able to get it under control and while I still don't like it and I get somewhat nervous, I am no longer terrified of them. Yesterday I was on my way into town to seek shelter at dh's work when the tornado developed right in front of me (luckily, it was still 10 miles away). I actually surprised myself with how calm I felt and decided to snap some pictures. My older brother called to see if I was OK and when I told him I had been taking pictures of it he wanted to know what had I done w/his sister ~ the one who was so terrified of them! Well, she's still here but just a little bit better off thanks to God and my family!
