I seriously suck at hygiene. And, you know, productivity. And I'm beginning to suspect those two things are related.
Here's why: I got up Saturday morning with a full day ahead. Usually, I loll around in bed until 9am - not on weekends, on regular days. Weekends it is much later than that. Anyway, back to lolling: I loll around in bed. Then I loll around in the house in jammies or whatever I slept in. The point is, I don't dress or shower until there is somewhere I need to go. And Saturday, I needed to go somewhere early in the morning, and I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I mean it! I was standing idly in my bathroom thinking, "What am I supposed to be doing? Am I supposed to shower? Really?"
Okay, I used to work. I used to get up and get ready. Well, poorly, to be sure, but still. I can't believe I forgot how to have a morning routine! I had to talk myself through it like this: "Jennifer - just do what you would normally do at 10am. Start with brushing your teeth." It felt weird.
Which brings me to right now. 10am Tuesday. I have been lolling around until this "decent hour" so that I can feel comfortable taking a shower (you're welcome, Andy) and brush my teeth. But not eat breakfast. It's a little soon for that.
The point being, I'm finally noticing it might be a little weird that I am like this. The concept of getting out of bed and getting ready for the day regardless of my plans feels foreign and, dare I say it, slightly upsetting.

| Best shower curtain ever! And indicative of my feelings toward the shower :) |

HA! That is the best shower curtain ever. And I agree about showering. I hate them. HATE them. And I am reading your blog post at 9:40 and David is still sleeping and I can't figure out why I'm even awake. And my hair is wet from a shower. And I'm pregnant so I should have breakfast, but I don't wanna. And now that I read your post, I feel validated.
And suddenly hungry. I wish we had leftover cake to eat for breakfast, too!
My husband actually turned away from me yesteday because he said I stunk!!
I would pay excellent money for my kids to let me loll for just one morning.
We're up at 6:30 every day here and i am NOT a morning person. Ugh.
All I'm saying is that you may as well dig around in that junk drawer for your framed crow picture.
that shower curtain is terrifying. Psycho is the sole reason why I won't take showers when I'm alone. I won't close my eyes, I peak out of the curtain constantly hoping a that there isn't a crazy person with a knife trying to stab me. So with that said, I'm weird about showers too.
*home alone. let me correct that so people don't think I constantly shower with someone.
You make me feel sooooo much better about my daily routine / lack of and my shower schedule! I am just happy my husband hasn't dared tell me that I stink!
That is something I LOVE about 'Blogland' - that I feel all weird, dysfunctional, idiotic, etc and as I read others blogs, I realize that I am not alone! And that maybe - just maybe - who and what I am is not all that weird or dysfunctional at all!
I feel the same way about Blogland, Lori.
