white & bright!

I went to the dentist yesterday, a small triumph in my world (especially because the doctor said she could tell that I floss!)... but got a stern talking-to about the vigor of my brushing sessions. Apparently I'm too much of an elbow-greaser when it comes to my pearlies... I always applied the same principle to my teeth as I do to my frying pans: the harder you scrub, the cleaner they'll be! Apparently I need to amend that to "the harder you scrub, the more they'll disappear." Gentless in tooth brushing does not come to me naturally, though! If I don't pay attention while I do it, I usually end up getting absorbed by something else (like Tycho's shenanigans) while my brush gets all mashed to heck between my teeth. That's probably why I have to replace my brush every two weeks or so. Not any more though! Gentleness from hereon in to save my teeth and my dental budget!!!

(after the dentist I saw "Stranger Than Fiction," which was SO GOOD, even if it didn't make sense one little bit... and there was a lot of tooth brushing in it! I was like, "No, Will Ferrell, no! It's supposed to be up and down, not side to side!")
