The wet look
I haven't posted anything in a long time. I know I keep saying that I have to post more, but who am I kidding? I'm lucky these days if I find time to wash my hair.
I really do wash it daily, that was just for the sake of the analogy. Although, I think there might have been a day last weekend where I didn't wash it. It wasn't looking so good by the end of the day.
Sometimes, when I'm getting showered/dressed/"ready", I think how much more I could get accomplished if I didn't do all that. It's such drudgery – all the showering, shampooing, shaving, lathering, washing. Not to mention everything that comes after - the hair, putting on makeup, trying to decide what to wear, etc. Honestly, it's only an hour, but still... Truthfully, it would take me less than an hour if I would just get busy and do what needs done. But, because I dread the process so much, I usually check my email, play with the pets, talk to my sister on the phone, etc. in the middle of all the "getting ready". It breaks up the senseless monotony and makes the whole process a little more bearable, even if it does drag it out somewhat.
I have to drag myself to the shower in the morning because all I really want to be doing early is drinking coffee and trying to take the next couple of hours to really wake up. I am not a morning person, and when you add the drudgery of "getting ready" to an already unpleasant part of the day, it just makes it that much more of a chore.
So, if you see me with my hair pulled back, you know it's because I didn't feel like doing the whole "hairstyle" thing. It means that when I got out of the shower, I either went back to bed for a spell and didn't have time to do anything with it, or I just didn't feel like it. I had my hair pulled back today :)
I know this is a stupid thing to whine about, but these are the scraps you get when I don't have much of substance to say. I'll try to do better next time.
See you in a few months!

It is such a pain "getting ready" every day, isn't it? I am so glad for any day that I have no plans to leave the house and I can skip a few steps, like makeup or hairstyling.
It's even worse torture in the summer months when it is so hot and humid. Getting ready is an extreme sport then. I have to alternate between the fan and the hairdryer and I only have one plug in the bathroom! It's excruciating!
I'm not a morning person either. I love to have a couple hours in the morning with just my coffee and mac. Luckily for me, I get to do that a lot of days;-)
Yea!

I agree. I take hideously long showers too, so that makes it even worse. Then, somedays, I think I'll get the morning started before I lock myself in the bedroom/bathroom for an hour and before I know it the day is half over and I'm just getting around to it.
I've tried showering at night so I can skip the shower and hair drying part come morning, but I feel dirty all day and by evening my hair is looking a bit like you could fry potatoes on it. Nasty, I know.
It's awful. Adam can be from bed to out the door, shirt & tie, in 13 minutes. It disgusts me.
I doubt this will shock anyone, but I think showering every day and all the crap that goes with it is way overkill. (You may commence with the, "hey let's laugh at the hippie who doesn't clean himself" comments. Moving on...) It's much healthier to let your hair breath every day or so. And here's another shocker, I find women who wear little or no makeup very attractive. You can go on and on about looking better with it on and being hideous without it, but you won't convince me. (Or a few of my friends as well.) And don't bother telling me I don't know how much work it takes to look like you aren't wearing makeup. I grew up with three sisters (no brothers) and I've been married for almost eleven years, I know what and how long it takes. I'm no rookie. I might even be a bit gay I care so much how women look. (Go back and read the thong conversation if you doubt me.) Anyway, I agree all that stupid getting-ready time is a waste. I have to put on a monkey suit every day and try to care about how I smell and look. It royally sucks. Yes, we should be considerate of other's space and area, but that can easily get out of hand to the point of it being a giant waste of time. So my advice (as if you asked for it) is use common sense. God loves smelly people. I'll end with that.
