Before I get in the shower, I have spent about 20 minutes considering how long it will take me to shave, exfoliate, and wash and condition my hair. Most of the time, if I am in a hurry, dry shampoo and extra deodorant is the way to go. These are a few of the thoughts that come to mind during a shower that I am sure many can relate to.
1. Lost track of time??
What starts as a 10-minute shower turns into a 30-minute to an hour debacle. "Why am I not done yet?" "All the hot water will be gone!" "Can anyone hear me singing?"
2 Hair, hair and more hair!!
I am always amazed when I wash my hair the amount that covers my shower. I'm not sure where all of it is coming from or why so much is falling out. I feel like cousin "IT" by the end of it all.
3. To shave or not to shave?
Shaving my legs adds much more time to my showering schedule. I don't know about you but if I do not shave every other day my legs start to look like Chewbacca.
4.The blood bath!
Every time I shave, I wonder if my legs and armpits will survive the mighty razor's torture or will the shower floor will look like a murder scene from "Psycho." The second concern is stopping the bleeding without making my towels look like they were a culprit in the murder.
5. Zoning out!
My favorite thing to do in the shower is absolutely nothing; just standing there and enjoy the water and thinking about being somewhere else, like a beach. Other times I tend to think about things I need to do or what hasn't been done yet. I'm sure everyone can relate in some way or another about being in "LaLa Land."
6. Envy!!!
It's not the biggest deal, but every time I'm washing and shaving, I think to myself men have it easier than we do when it comes to being clean.
7. If you live to be 70 years old you will spend 10 years of your life on a Monday!
Some of the most random and brilliant thoughts occur while completing a simple hygienic task. Drowning in my own thoughts!
