Toot My Horn (I Will)


And then I punched my blog in the face.

Okay, so I originally threw that pic up while testing the updated settings in my blog (thank you Aimee). At first it was being weird, but then when I put up the tweaker pic, it suddenly works. I was going to take it down, as it was a quick snap of me, immediately after exiting the can (thank you Croat). But it does show the one thing, nay, two things I have going for me. Hey, we're supposed to be more positive regarding our own bodies, right ladies? By god I'll do it then, even with this suck ass picture where I'm unshowered and attempting the biggest wink ever.

First, look at my teeth. They are beautiful and never has a pair of braces or even a retainer come close to them, not even in high school college/make-outs. Though you can't see it, the bottom row is perfectly straight as well. Of course, I do sleep with a night guard in (think Tina Fey in Date Night) to keep myself from grinding those gorgeous things to dust. And the color, beautiful; my gracious, I can't even remember the last time I used a whitening strip (I'm too cheap). They're just amazing, and I would like to take a moment to mention a man that I'm never supposed to mention in my blog ever EVER, my dad. D Shizz gave me these teeth. Thank you, sir.

Second, and final, are my eyebrows. While my left eye (your right) is collapsing in this picture, making a proper examination of my eyebrow pretty tough, righty (your left) is looking good. Yes, folks, it has taken me FIFTEEN years to get them back about to where God first gave them to me. See, at twelve years old I decided I wanted to shape them like my mom's, but this was after she'd already moved away, so I did it myself. No bueno. They then went really thin for a while, but now after careful growing, my luscious (but not too much so) eyebrows are back.

Honorable mention does go out to my ears. They're not too big or too small. They don't stick out, and I have enough lobe for earrings. If you ever look closely, you'll see I have three holes in each ear, though I only use the first holes so as to not continue to look like an angry high school gal.

My awesomeness aside, I cooked a pretty cool meal tonight. Wait, this is just furthering my awesomeness. So be it. Yeah, I cooked this tonight. It was bitchin. I'm trying to actually cook squash this winter instead of leaving it to look cool in a bowl on my counter. (I did do the butternut squash soup the other night too.) I was skeptical that I'd like it, but it turned out really well. I added extra garlic, ginger, and chili sauce. And instead of using a tenderloin, I used three boneless pork chops. Nothing processed in this meal (hello Paleo diet folks), and I could have added more veggies. Next time.

Hooray for horn tooting! I think we need to get our toot on everyday. Women are so freaking harsh on themselves.

I heart spaghetti squash! I'm a big pasta fan so it's a nice, healthy alternative. I really would like to get one of those spiralizers where you can make any veggie into noodle shapes.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Good positive self-image!! And you're not even close to 50!!!

Okay, I need to clarify my comment---it took me to 50 before I could see myself in a positive light...and then it doesn't matter anymore what I think about me!!!!
