Perfection

So I am trying to fix one of my vices to help save the planet. I am known for crazy long showers, I am a slow shower person. Something about being in a quiet, peaceful, warm place that...I don't know....makes me not want to get out! Anyway I saw this commercial about conserving water and just how much savings there could be. This type of showering is typically called "Navy Showering" (click to see a nerdy guy demonstrate), I guess it is used on Navy ships that have limited water supplies. So I gave it a shot, first time I got all wet, then shut the water off, and then soaped all up. I ran into a problem though, I shampooed first and then the soap ran into my eyes. So I washed the rest of myself with my eyes shut and stinging with soap. The second day I tried I figured I'd shampoo last, this worked well....but I forgot to wet my shower puff ball thing so I didn't get much lather to work with. The third shower was just right, no soapy eyes and lots of lather. Only problem is that I froze! By the end of my shower my fingernails were purple and I was shivering! I told you I was a shower connoisseur, so I really miss the standing under the hot water for a few minutes and just relaxing. Well, I suppose things will get better as I get used to Navy Showers, hopefully my body will stop resisting it!

Today I am off to The Home Depot to check out their shower heads. I figure if I am going to make this commitment I better go all out, and since we need a new shower head downstairs I'll look for a new water saving head, maybe with an on off button or something. I read a few articles that said they have made big strides in water saving shower heads, no more showers that are fit for misting your houseplants one article said. Anyway, I'll let you know how that turns out!
