Thirteen Neurotic Things about Sparky's start to his day
I do alot of my great thinking while in the shower, it seems to be where I come up with alot of my blog ideas, gift ideas, what things I need from the store, and the meaning of life that day. So, it should not be any surprise that if I do not do things in the shower in an exact order, I lose track of what I have and havent done. I cant tell you how many times I have washed my hair more then once because my mind wandered. So, here's the list from shower to jockeys.
1.Test the water and hop in. Do you know how much I hate to feel the cold water that has been trapped in a showerhead before it comes out hot. Rude awakening
2.Lather up with a bar of soap. Very important to be sure to get the pits here. Personally, I prefer Irish Spring.
3.Shampoo the hair next, I dont mess with the conditioner as a seperate step either, too much time wasted. So a 2 in 1 shampoo works best.
4.Shave. One of the easiest things to double check that I have done, especially when the mind is off on someplace nice. Plus, since I dont do it everyday, its even easier to check.
5.Shower Gel. Yes, men can use Shower Gel and those puffy sponges, and I am damned proud of it. Ok, I use the Old Spice Shower Gel, manly enough?
6.Noxema Face Scrub-Sue Me, I have bad pores and the orange scent is invigorating.
7.Clean out my Ears and be sure to rinse off my face. A very important step, since I have allergies out the wazzoo.
Now, I just want to stress that there is always a rinse involved in between each step, I just figured that was self explanatory
8.Dry, though honestly I like the Rod Tidwell idea of drying, air drying is better for the skin. Now what movie is that from?
9.Brush the Teeth. I have found that I have to do this before deodorant, just because for whatever reason if I dont I end up having to do the deodorant under the shirt thing.
10.deodorant-and it has to be those clear gels. the sticks dont work!
11.Mouthwash-with Listerine, you can really feel all those germs dying on contact.
12.Get dressed-yes ladies The Duck has been naked the entire time, mmmm hows that for daydreamin (ok I must still be delusional)
13.Brush the hair-I have a bush on top of my head, so if I brush it before Im dressed its all over gods creation.
Ok, I know, way too much time on my hands...

Lmao...that was great, because now I know I'm not the only one who does things in a certain order while in the shower. It totally throws me off if I don't.
But I always brush my teeth before I get in the shower...I have no idea why. And I have to brush my hair before too, or else I literally can't get the shampoo through it. lol
haha! your list cracked me up on a number of levels.
a. i, too, get all my good ideas in the shower. i re-organized my entire department at work in my head, in the shower.
2. jerry maguire!
3. "i have bad pores," says the man. i am not sure my husband knows what a pore is. love it!
4. husband also uses what i call "man-gel" but he still refuses the loofah.
anyway, happy tt! very informative and very funny!
I totally use the same face scrub!!!
I hate the smell
Soap AND shower gel? Different parts of the body, or are you just SUPERclean??
I use both soap and shower gel. The soap is antibacterial, so kills the bacteria and gets off the dirt and dead skin. The shower gel I use smells nice, and adds moisture (important when interior heat dries my skin out so that it feels like an overstretched drumhead.)
I have to use conditioner, or my hair is a gigantic rat's nest. Then again, I have pretty long hair.
we all have our habits, don't we? :)
I like dragging my coffee into the shower with me. that will wake me up.
My husband is VERY proud of his puffy sponge too! :) Thanks for stopping by!
This was a great insight! But...where does coffee fit in? :)
LOL! this is GREAT! Popped over from Shiloh's TT. Dang it - another blog to follow. When the heck am i supposed to get my work done?
I've gotten out of the shower and realized that I forgot to soap up. Once, I was dressed before I figured it out. A little extra deodorant fixed that problem.
I think most people have a definite routine. My little quirk is that I have to Q-tip out my ears immediately after showering. And I have to do both ears at the same time. Nick calls it 'doing the double'.
Happy TT.
thanks for the creative list this week! hahah
I do a lot of writing in the shower; not sure why, but it's when inspiration tends to strike.
Love your list; you're a cutie, Duck.
First let me say, thanks for sharing!! LOL
My hubby has pretty much the exact same routine every morning...must be a guy thing.
Happy Thursday!
The cold water this is a rude awakening, especially in the morning lol. I use the shower gel too.
I used to do my blog thinking in the shower too! NOw I usually end up having a "post" thought while driving - much more dangerous!
I'm on the same page here Sparky. Not all neuroses are bad.
Ever since my fourth back surgery, I've been plagued with phantom odors. I can no longer trust my nose.
One consequence is that I err to the side of over-personal hygene-ing myself. I might knock people out with the combo of anti-bacterial deodorant soap, shampoo, underarm deodorant, powder (a manly "sporty" smell, and after shave, but no one, NO ONE, will ever complain that I have offensive body odor.
Oh, yeah, I'm with you on the Listerine too, mouthwash has to burn; none of those new pansy non-alcoholic mouthwashes for me.
Great list!
Very funny list! #8 was Jerry McGuire wasn't it (Rod Tidwell)?
My hubbys a Listerine guy. No Scope is allowed in the house. And as long as you're secure with the poofy sponge then I have no further comment on the subject:)
You must be delusional and I'm laughing at #5.
LOL I love your list. I love showers but I'm more of an evening bath person. Thanks for stopping by my site today. :)
Love a man who smells good. Props to your mom, for making you wash your ears (and behind them, too.) Thanks for visiting my TT.
Looks like you start day off well. I loved #5
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
Thank you for your visit to mine.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!
