Does this count?

Caught an edition of the Unger Report on NPR the other day, called Finding a Way to Evolve: "Oprah Winfrey isn't changing — she's "evolving," the media mogul recently told a magazine. And our humorist Brian Unger is following suit as he examines the path of personal evolution."

It got me to thinking because I recently made what felt like a big change in my life. For the past 11 years, I have used the exact same toothbrush, no not the *exact* same one, but a clear, plain vanilla Oral B brush. I have no idea why I latched onto this particular model, but I would literally buy out a store's supply when I could thinking maybe I could use the same model forever. Very weird, but I prefer to think of it as quirky. Anyway, this model has been discontinued for about 3 years, or at least I could never find them, and I ran out of the soft bristle version in my stash about a year ago and the medium bristles are pretty rough, so I decided that maybe it was time to step out of my comfort zone, bite the bullet and try a new toothbrush. My husband is the King of the Bargain and gets free-after-rebate stuff all the time from drugstores, I don't think he's purchased a toothbrush, deodorant or shampoo in the 7 years that I've known him. One of the recent free toothbrushes was an Oral B Cross Action, Soft Compact Head with a bright pink handle and so the other night, I tossed the clear one and went for it. All I can say is that I am sure I have been missing out on some pretty innovative toothbrush technology over the years! The cross action bristles, the ergonomic handle that just fits so well in my hand! Thank you Oprah, for helping me to feel alright about celebrating this strange yet momentous change in my life. Odd? For sure. But an evolution nonetheless.
