I awoke from a strange dream. It was strange only because it was exceptionally normal, except for the appearance of a small phone in the shape of a dental floss container. That phone was the only means of contact that The Q and I had as we nosed our way through our days of eco-living and trying to figure out what we’re going to be when we grow up. Oddly, there was no blogging involved.

After cup #1 of coffee, I began to search for a photo of the dental floss container/phone to post here on BG and came across (its a rhyme!) Bacon Floss! (gag).

Who needs minty fresh teeth, when you can have piggy fresh teeth! Your co-workers and the moms at the playground will love your sparkling, greasy teeth and just imagine how well that floss goes with coffee! Yum!

Not to be outdone, the people at Gear Diary have also brought us Squeeze Bacon! (double gag).

Because nothing says hot summer BBQ time like a flask of bacon. All joking aside, this is my dedication to The Q:

Yes, I’ve spent about 3 precious minutes watching videos about how exactly to rub Q’s butt, per her semi-psychic request on a place I like to call Twitter.

If you want to follow the fun on Twitter, add us! ImTheQ or MojoWriting.

Now, for the HOW of butt massage (click that!)

Please note step 4:

Massage your own gluteus maximus by using a tennis ball. Sit on a tennis ball, positioning it into the tightest part of the gluteus maximus. Control your body weight with your arms to avoid too much pressure before you’re ready for it. Move your hips in a circular motion over the ball to massage the area.

Go Red for Women is a movement started by the American Heart Association to raise awareness about heart health for women of all ages.  February 6 is National Wear Red Day where everyone is encouraged to wear red, organize others to participate, and make a donation to this excellent cause:
