oh my aching teeth
i decided to try crest whitestrips yesterday. costco had a nifty coupon for them and cuz of the wedding and all, i decided to whiten my teeth. the reviews have been pretty great about them, and they're certainly cheaper than getting them professionally whitened. seemed like a good dealio.
the instructions were easy enough. place strips on teeth, take them off in 30 mins. ok, so i did that. and i was glad that i didn't sense any extra sensitivity when i removed them like some people had. but in the middle of the night... oh my god, i kept waking up periodically cuz my teeth hurt so bad! and this morning, well, i was supposed to do another set of strips. twice a day, the instructions said. but aughh, i just looked at the box and said, hell naw! and then henry asked me, did you brush your teeth after? the chemical might have stayed and affected your teeth longer than the prescribed 30 mins. ahhh, good point fiance. i brushed my teeth before the strips instead of after. so tonight, that's what i'll do. must brush teeth after the strips. cuz this pain is almost unbearable. :(

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
