The down side of preparing for a family trip too early is losing the interest for the trip altogether just few days before it. I’m not sure if I’m just stressed or I really just find our itinerary not enough to be both fun and relaxing. I just thought if we really want to have fun, it would be very tiring. Or if we want it to be relaxing, then we should expect boring.

I should start packing our things. I’ll throw in some lipstick, proactiv solution, and a nice dress in my luggage. That could keep me excited, I guess.

Or maybe, it’s just time of the month.

Last Friday, little BG went to her daddy’s office for some trick or treating. She actually had two costumes to choose from: Raggedy Ann and Tinker Bell.

First I showed her Kathycot’s Olin wearing the costume. She smiled and kept saying “Doll Olin!” Then on Thursday night, while I was putting on my wrinkle cream in front of the mirror, I thought maybe it’s time for BG to try the wig / head dress.

And to my surprise, she willingly put it on and while looking at herself in the mirror, she did this.

I can’t exactly remember when, but I was watching a local talk show. The topic was about how certain foods can affect the appearance of your teeth. According to the guest dentist, if you love drinking cola, you can just use straw instead of gulping it straight from the can, to avoid discoloration on your teeth.

Then one guest, a former beauty queen, asked how to take care of veneers. She shared that her real teeth are small, and that beauty queens are expected to have long teeth. So that’s why. Oooh! So that’s why all the contestants have long teeth. I’ve always wondered about that. In my mind, I’d look just great having longer (and whiter) teeth, tanned skin and shiny bouncy hair.

But won’t that feel weird? I’m thinking if my healthy teeth were to be covered with veneers which are longer than my actual teeth, and dental implants Plano on my gap, wouldn’t my face look different? I guess longer. Hmm, not bad. Just vain.
