last picture before oil pulling

I'd heard about oil pulling before, probably back in my hardcore hippy days, but I've been obsessed with it recently since it popped up on radar and I read an article about it online.  Basically the idea is you swish coconut oil around in your mouth for 20 minutes in the morning and it's supposed to have a myriad of different health benefits.  It seemed across the board that people experienced teeth whitening so I figured, even if that's all that happens, it would still be worth it.

I finally went to whole foods today and picked up some unrefined coconut oil and did my first session just now.  I have to say, it was kind of gross, there were a few moments during the 20 minutes that I got freaked out.  I think I may have used too much oil too, I hadn't considered that the volume increases as your own saliva gets added to the disgusting mix.

But I made it and am excited to incorporate this in to my routine.  I'm going to try to take a picture of my teeth every friday so we can tell if there is actually any whitening going on.

all over my shirt.

Tell me it doesn't remind you of a trapper keeper you had in elementary school.

Needless to say I got lots of compliments today.  And you know how I love compliments.

It was a good day.

finally having my birthday champagne

Jon and Joe actually managed to get on a flight down here so I finally had an excuse to open my bottle of champagne that Gala got me for my birthday.

Though their time here is short I feel it was important in cementing the idea that they need to move down here.

Going out tonight before I take them back to the airport in the morning.

its just SO bright

The problem is he spends the whole night running around like a crazy maniac and howling for no reason, so come morning he is just EXHAUSTED.  But the daylight is obviously just too much for him.  I am very cruel for not covering my windows in heavy velvet drapes all day.

And yes, I'm aware that his fur keeps changing colors.  I don't know what's going on with that.

daily reminder x2

The black one is parked in that spot every day so I look at it on my way in to work...every day.  Today it was joined by the silver one.  Crazy that they are both the same exact year as mine.

I also like that they are both handicapped parkers.  Of course they are.

I miss that car.

two nice guys

I don't know if you can even see them in the window but the other night on my run I passed this house and spotted two white cats in the front window.  At first I thought they were sculptures or something until they reacted to me stopping to look at them.  They were definitely on serious evening patrol.

I would have taken a better picture but I felt weird creeping around a strangers house at night with my phone taking photos.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just really like your cats..."

Meghan got me this morning and I almost forgot to ever do my post for today, can't believe it's already March.  Curse February and it's lack of days.

I was going to post a Barbie picture in addition to my "all my friends are dead" calendar that I got from Daniel because my sister actually got me a 2014 Barbie calendar too.  Unfortunately it's not all new Barbie's so I was only going to post when it was a new Barbie I hadn't posted before.  For some reason I thought this month was the first one but it's not.

So you'll have to satisfy yourself with just this for another month:

Haha I like his face.
