Ash 7.5...top 5...

Here are a top five to live by:

1) If its more than 7 days past the expiry date you should smell it first before consuming.

2) If it says "patent pending" on the back of a specific item do not even smell. Put it down and walk away.

3) If you walk into your home and there is a peculiar smell the right thing to do is find the source of the smell, not just spray some more febreeze.

4) Chocolate is wonderful. Chocolate is beautiful. But chocolate is not a food group.

5) If you get the choice to make a choice between loving and something else, always choose love, no matter what the other thing is--even if it's a lifetime supply of the next best thing.

(I win)

It's because I beat you to the blog. We were both blogging at the same time and you said it was a race to see who posted first. I won. As usual. Hoorah.

And when we talk next I have to tell you a funny story about #2. Maybe i'll email you about it today...

Okay here's the story that inspired this particular blog and was listed as #2. To start let me tell you that I rarely, and I mean RARELY, purchase nail polish. I don't find a lot of use in nail polish and I'd rather spend my money on ANYTHING else. However a couple of weeks ago while at Walmart with Brandyce we ended up in the cosmetics dept. Brandyce was buying fun foot scraper and peelers and whatever the freak that stuff was. Meanwhile back at the ranch I was extremely bored. I was amusing myself by making fun of all the scrapers, etc. That's when I spotted the cheapest nail polish ever. They were selling packets of two bottles for like $1.50. I was like, freak out that's a good deal. And I have a hard time passing up good deals of any sort. So I bought it up, brought it home, threw it on my table and forgot about it. Then last night I remembered the polish and thought, "hmmm, maybe we should try it out and make our fingernails look all pretty". So I sat down, opened the bottle and right away new something was wrong. The smell permeating from that bottle was nasty. But nail polish often smells nasty so I proceeded to lift the brush from the bottle and move it's evil covered tip towards my finger nail. As soon as it hit nail it like flooded my finger, overflowing everywhere. Now, I know enough about nail polish to know that this is not correct nail polish behavior. I quickly ran to the bathroom and tried to wash away the color that was already staining my finger nail and skin. After saving my finger nail from certain death I walked back over the bottle taunting me. Picking it up and reading the back I see the words that spoke terror into me: "Patent Pending". EXCUSE ME!?!?! PATENT PENDING!?!?! How in the world can Walmart sell something for which it is has not even been approved by like the people that approve stuff. Obviously this patent will be (or already has been) declined by the patent people. Evil nail polish. Freakin Walmart. I like Walmart's in every city all over this world--except Calgary. Our Walmart's are their own seperate little black holes that people enter all smiley and somehow leave with crying kids, bloodied noses, and diseased fingernails. I'm a nice, gracious, kind person most of the time, and even I almost got into a brawl in the Walmart by my house a couple of months ago. Seriously Walmart, get your act together. And shame on me for buying nail polish.

Okay...I've used nail polish before...and actually quite recently...I can be a girl! but how in the world does nail polish "flood" a finger? Did the brush have tiny little resevoir pores inside holding excess amounts of nail polish; waiting for the right moment to douse the next victim (being you of course...) with stainage? So it smells bad! It's not like you're going to be eating this stuff. Maybe if I used nail polish more often I would understand the story a little more...and side note *Walmarts are always ghetto no matter where you go*
But moving onwards...I AM sorry about the trauma that it's caused you! And I hope your day goes well other wise! mwuahahaha

Hello!?!?! PATENT PENDING!!!!! PATENT PENDING!!!! That should be all you would need to know to have overwhelming concern for my nail safety. And regarding the floodage--it seriously was evil flooding! Most nail polishes don't FLOOD your finger...you just spread y'know!?!? Well this nail polish was WRONG!!!! And no not all Walmarts are ghetto. The one in Swift Current rocks the cazbagh. So there.
