Faces with Braces. Oh Goody!

My orthodontist is all about sending mixed messages. At my first appointment, he said I've been brushing too hard. He showed me how to brush gently from now on. At my first braces adjustment , he lectured me about my poor oral hygiene. I had been brushing too gently! He said not to be afraid of damaging my braces and that they are very strong. He then proceeded to grip my (very sore!) lower front teeth and shake my head from side to side, demonstrating just how mighty the braces are. He said that a toothbrush should last me a month, tops, and that by the end of the life of my toothbrush, the bristles should be smashed down and splayed out. So, I went home and brushed more aggressively, per the insistence of my orthodontist. #@*&!!!!!!! And then spat out a piece of my braces. Damn you braces. Damn you.

Little Green Bow

The votes have been tallied. Your favorite Best in Show blog post nominee is Little Green Bow ! It's not surprising. Just look at all the snazzy posts Deanna at Little Green Bow has to offer: She recently completed a 10 day juice fast and details how/why to try it in several posts. Okay. Truth be told, Deanna might prefer that I link to a different post than her juice fast results, which detail all kinds of nitty gritty details about her, but the results are impressive! Now I'm considering trying a juice fast too, though it might be hard with Sexy Nerd constantly saying that consuming nothing but juice is stupid and tempting me with delicious enchiladas. Guys just don't get it, do they? Deanna also made this super-cute nursery artwork for her friend. Not a bad friend to have! Thanks a bunch to everyone who linked up and competed for the Best in Show award. Which reminds me... Ta Da!

Football. Yippee.

Good morning and happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone! It should be a good game between...uhhh...the two teams that are playing today. I'm just in it for the funny commercials, which I'll be watching online. Did I have you fooled? If you're a game fan, however, and you've stopped by in search of some Super Bowl party foods, might I suggest an easy peasy (and yummy!) batch of Popovers with Onion and Gouda ? Sexy Nerd-approved football snack (although, he will be ditching the game with me, so...yeah)
