Out of the Loop

Behold the new Sonicare toothbrush that runs on batteries and costs about $25.  You will giggle the first time you use it, but then you will be a true convert.  Apparently, there is an adjustment period, because I am having major drool issues and also sprayed my hair, neck, and even my feet with toothpaste this morning.  Stupid mouthbreathing while brushing my teeth! 

As for my shoes, ran in them again on Monday.  Still like them.  No squeaking this time.  They are springy when you walk, but not as much when you run.  This is probably obvious to most people, but not to me.  Also, DO NOT run on an uneven surface with these shoes.  Trail running would be an exercise in ankle rolling.  As long as you avoid potholes in the road, you'll be fine.  On Monday, as I was looking to the heavens, praying to Jah for a crossbreeze, I hit a bump in the road and almost went down.  So just pay attention and you should be fine.  Also, the springy sensation will make you run around more, when you should probably just walk.  An example of this would be if you are trying to re-install a hot water heater and you decide to run across your uneven lawn in the dark.  But hey, if your butt looks rounder and higher, it is worth it!

Okay, and I also need to know if the following is weird:  Once a week I splurge on an $8 sandwich for lunch outside of my classroom.  (Yeah, I know that part is weird.)  I sip Diet Dr. Pepper and read trashy magazines.  It is heaven.  Anyway, I'm reading the tramp manual that is Cosmo, and there is some article about 99 things you can do to a guy in bed.  And one of the suggestions--and this isn't a direct quote, but it's probably pretty close--was to wear a belt during doggie style so that your guy can pull on the belt for leverage.  Double You Tee Eff???  Isn't that a bit much, even for Cosmo?  What girl would come up with that tip?  Am I the only person who isn't doing this?  Is this a common practice these days?  Comment, please.
