From Chaos comes Clarity.

So, this weekend while I was at the Utah game this weekend sitting there watching turnover after turnover my dad (who is obviously a BYU fan since he coaches Rugby there) texted me and asked me what the score was. My dad and I constantly banter back and forth when its football season. Utah's 54-10 victory over BYU this season really helped my cause. He can't stand losing especially not to my team. So when he texted me and asked what the score was I was a bit surprised that he wasn't watching the game. Its not like my dad to pass up on an opportunity to give me crap. Then he texted me and told me Chaos our Jack Russell Terrier got hit by a car, let me just point out the dog has been hit 4 times before so it was kind of like yeah whatever your lying, well turns out he wasn't. He got ran over by the mail man and took off running for some odd reason. My parents looked everywhere, they followed his blood all the way to the canal (which is about a mile away) and then the trail stopped. They kept looking and asking everyone if they had seen him and nothing. Some people did see him and said he was bleeding so badly that he'd turned pink and they'd thought he was spray painted. Then they went home and got Murphy our other dog who is an airdale terrier, absolutely massive but loves to hunt Chaos. When he couldn't find him we pretty much gave up hope but it was Saturday night so we planned on calling the pound Monday. We went out and looked again on Sunday and still nothing. We were pretty positive that he was gone and wouldn't be home. The saddest part for me was thinking that he was out alone in the cold bleeding to death and scared. Lucky for us though he was picked up by a police officer at about 2PM Saturday afternoon and taken to the animal shelter. So we had to pay $75 to spring him and my dad got a ticket for not having him on a leash and not having a dog license. By the way, when in the hell did you have to get a license to have a dog? The leash thing I knew about but a license? That you have to renew every year! Sorry but thats just too much. Anyways the good thing is that he's home now. He's got some horrendus cuts but my parents think he's going to be fine and they'll just heal on their own. Its pretty crazy when you think about it. I can't believe we found him. I'm so happy he didn't die. He's our baby, we've decided to make him an inside dog though ha. Only took us 5 times of him getting run over to realize hmmm... maybe this dumb ass should stay away from cars.

I'm completely obsessed with nail polish, and grey, so this fits.

So, I've been reading tons of blogs lately, and they are all the creative kinds where everyone is all cute and good at everything and blah blah blah I made the cutest bookshelf out of toothpicks, stuff that I am just not capable of doing, BUT I was thinking about it tonight and it just hit me, I can blog about my favorite things! You don't have to be talented to blog about your favorite things! I'm actually pretty excited to do it, so I'll blog about random stuff because I'm bored. Anyways, I figured I'd post my first one on my main blog because I haven't made my other one.

One of my vices in life is nail polish. I love it. It is amazing, I love all the colors. The problem is that I am OCD, and ADD I swear so I get totally sick of a color in about 20 minutes so I change all the time, I love OPI brand nail polish, they are by far my favorite and the longest lasting, however I just found this brand at Target that Roy introduced me to called Essie, they are a tiny bit cheaper than OPI but they really have great colors too. Grey and Purple are my favorite colors at the moment so thats the colors I have been using lately, i got this grey but I think its a little too dark. This color is Power Clutch,

I like it but I was going for more a light grey, they have a color called Glamor Purse that would be PERFECT but they only have it in stock at the Sandy store and I didn't want to drive up there today just for nail polish especially when I have to go up there tomorrow so I figured I'd just get it then. I should have waited because I'll end up repainting them on Sunday after I get the color, but I just couldn't wait.

Anyways, thanks for listening to me babble, when I get my favorite things blog up and running I'll post the link if anyone wants to read it, I don't expect people to like love it, I just get so bored and feel like writing about something.
