Oh the things we do

First off, I really enjoy being goofy with my roommates super early in the morning. I wake up between 5 and 6:30 on any given day and then Jodi and Brittany get up about 7-7:30. Then we're silly until we part for the day. If only we could get Ashton to wake up early with us. Our apartment would be a riot before most anyone else even thinks of embracing the day.

Yesterday we had the shower-gel-NOT-lotion incident, and today Brittany and I discovered we are on the exact same wavelength when it comes to primping for our potential love interests. She made a comment about the exorbitant amount of bottles taking up about half the space in our already tiny 2x2 shower. We normally just have a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner, so, 4 bottles. But this morning we each had 2 bottle of shampoo and 2 bottles of conditioner, plus other smaller bottles like facial cleanser and shower gel (as opposed to our usual routines of bar soap). Thus we had 11 or 12 bottles in our shower.

When she mentioned how ridiculous it was in there, I explained that I got out the extra bottles of product out yesterday for my lunch date. She laughed and said she used different shampoo/conditioner because she was seeing a cute guy, too. And then we realized both of our extra-special hair products were Herbal Essences.

Maybe it's not that funny to anyone else. Or maybe it's not funny because the sun is up and shining, but it was hilarious this morning. How did we both come to the independent conclusions that we should switch shampoo for these guys, and at that, that we should use Herbal Essences in particular??

We discussed how we don't think guys have a clue about how much effort we actually put in. We bend over backwards, primping on every possible level, down to the very brand of shampoo, just for them. These cutiepie guys should feel privileged. We don't especially analyze every layer of clothing, skin care, and hairstyle for just anyone.

I read good

So this morning after a gloriously hot 6am shower, I began my primping for a lunch date with a super adorable law student (excited much? absolutely). I was putting on this lotion that my lovely roommate got me for Christmas when I felt the urge to read the bottle. I had wondered why this lotion seemed of a rather thick consistency, and lo and behold, this bottle of "lotion" is really "bath and shower creme."

I've been using shower gel as lotion for a week.

I read good.
