Day Sixteen

Well, I’m almost done. Five more days to go and I’m pretty sure that I’m already in the habit of brushing and flossing my teeth before going to bed. And on days that I’m wearing makeup I take that off. Now if only I could wash my face, but I didn’t a couple of times when I wasn’t wearing makeup and that was the end of that. I’d do it as another 21 day challenge, but I don’t think it would be anymore interesting that the flossing challenge. I realize that they were supposed to be the same challenge, but it didn’t work out so well.

If you decided to start flossing this will teach you how, so you can do it right.

Day Twelve

Did you know that flossing your teeth is actually better than brushing. Not to understate the importance of brushing, there is a lot of crap that clings to the surface of your teeth, but the stuff in between is the really bad stuff. I mention this because I couldn’t brush my teeth last night because I had no toothpaste, but I still flossed. In fact if you have time to do one, but not the other, floss. Your dentist will notice the not flossing on a regular basis, but probably not that you skipped a brushing.

In other news, I got home late last night, watched the 100th episode of Supernatural (the best one this season!) and then when through my night routine automatically. I’m thinking that 12 days in and I’ve got my routine down. Not that I’m going to test it tonight or anything, just that it’s getting better. I’m less resistant to going through the motions.

I’m going to buy toothpaste today. Desert Essence makes vegan toothpaste for sensitive teeth. I’m thinking I’ll get that one because Christopher has sensitive teeth and is also running out because I’ve been a big mooch and using his. Which by the way I was looking at his Sensodyne the other day and two of the inactive ingredients are saccharin and sucralose. Someone explain to me how putting sugar substitute on your teeth is good for them. It’s still sweet and I’m betting that the bacterial in your mouth would still like it. I could be wrong though, so if someone knows, I’d love to find out, especially since it’s inactive and isn’t being helpful.

Anyway, that’s it for now.

Day Ten

Took a day off yesterday. Seriously, I did a lot of TV watching, took a nap and basically relaxed all day, so I didn’t feel much like blogging. I did however maintain my nightly routine, so no worries. I think it’s actually starting to get to be a routine, because I was lying in bed watching TV figuring I wouldn’t bother, but I don’t think I lasted more than 2 minutes before getting up because I hadn’t flossed my teeth. It bothered me a lot, so I got up and brushed my teeth and flossed. I didn’t wash my face though, but I figure it’s okay because I wasn’t wearing makeup. If this is any indication, the next 11 days will be getting easier.

In other news, I got to play with the iPad yesterday. It’s so sweet, I want one. But I’m being smart and waiting for the second generation to come out. Still it is tempting…

Day Eight

Didn’t manage to go to sleep early last night, but got everything done before heading off to bed and watching Doctor Who, third ep of the third season, I’m getting it all watched slowly but surely.

Also the tire on the car was replaced by Mark and Christopher, although mostly Christopher. So now I get to see if Firestone can fix my tire, which is a better option that having to get a new one to put under the car. Really glad I didn’t have to worry about getting a new tire asap, probably the best thing about an suv is having a really tire instead of a spare.

Been working a lot the past few days, so not much time to do anything else, should have more to say tomorrow.

Also, hoping to get back into yoga, possibly part of the next challenge. More on that later

Day Seven

Last night’s routine went pretty well considering the day I had. Work was not so great, Saturdays don’t seem to be my day at all, plus it was just a long day in the store. Then to make things even worse than getting out at 10:15 and having a half hour drive home was getting out at 10:15 and finding that my car has a flat tire. I say has instead of had because it’s still sitting at the mall with a flat. The nice thing about my car is that it has an extra tire in it, not just a spare. The not-so-nice thing about it is that the tire was changed last at the dealership and was machine tightened which means Christopher couldn’t loosen it. That’s fine, at least he came and tried and then drove me home, but it meant not getting home till 11:30, at which point my bed was calling me.

I slept in way too late today, I guess I needed it, but I’ve gotta be up early tomorrow, so it kinda threw off my rhythm. Who knows though, it’s very possible that I’ll be tired enough to go to sleep early tonight.

That’s about it.
