This past Halloween I really enjoyed dressing up in a costume, but it’s always difficult to decide what to be. I had a few ideas this year, but when I was thinking about different costumes, some things seem off-limits. For instance, dressing up in a costume of a profession that someone I know in real life actually is seems like it would be weird. A doctor or a policeman aren’t very good costumes for adults… kids would be ok I suppose. But then kids dressing up like baseball or football players is kind of weird because kids actually wear those things all the time.

Anyways, like I said it’s difficult to come up with costume ideas, but I have run across a few I thought were pretty clever… the problem is that when Halloween comes around the following year, I have forgotten what all those cool ideas were! Maybe I need to write them down, huh?

For the past month or so I have been alternating between two different kinds of toothpastes. It wasn’t a deliberate decision, but since I have a few sample tubes of toothpaste in the bathroom drawer from past dentist visits, I have a nice little collection going. My main toothpaste is one of the less-minty baking soda types, and then the samples are various minty ones, and when choosing which one to use, I pretty much base my decision on which tube is closest to me (which can be decided by mere millimeters!)

I don’t know if it is just my imagination, but it seems like when I switch up the toothpastes, my teeth feel cleaner. Maybe it’s the combined power of multiple types of toothpastes at work? It’s probably just all in my head.

At any rate, using multiple types of toothpaste is pleasing to me. I think that’s because it adds a little variety to something that hardly ever changes. This has got me wondering: if I add even more types of toothpaste to the collection, would brushing teeth become even more fun?

Some of the things I think about when doing daily tasks…
