Butterteeth

It's so cold out. Yes, I know it's November, but that fact alone doesn't make it any warmer. I am not complaining though, because I would rather this to the humid summer.

Winter makes it easier to hide a couple of extra pounds, and I get to show off my great collection of winter coats. I have a sort of obsession with coats. My favorite right now is my big, white coat.

As much as I love it, it hurts to wear it.

Literally, pain is involved.

With any kind of white apparel, you need to be very careful that your teeth are up to par. White clothing has a way of making your teeth look more like corn on the cob than the pearly whites you thought they were.

I use Crest Whitestrips like crazy in the winter. I mean, I brush, gurgle, occassionally floss, but after hundreds of Cafe Mochas, my teeth start to look like my middle sbhool bus driver's. (And you would understand if you were on bus #38)

My teeth are also insanely sensitive. So after whitestripping the 375 Mochas off of my teeth, they are a bit tender. Anything hot or cold intensifies the tenderness.

Well, we went out last night, and I wore my beautiful white coat. My teeth were quasi-transparent by the time we left for the Veteran's Day services, but I took two Aleve for the pain, and my teeth looked great!
