Got Your Leg Warmers?

So with just over a week to go before Dan arrives back home, its been difficult to see the things that are nice about him being away.  That being said, with the cold weather starting to set in, one last thing came to mind.  Now as I begin to think about this a little more in depth, I realized it hasn't just been beneficial during the cold  lonely nights, but it has saved me barrels of time too!

Before I go any further, consider this:

Your alarm goes off in the morning.  You groggily roll over and hit snooze (or in my case just turn it off).  And while you are waiting for the alarm to go off again (or in my case just procrastinating) you start to think of the morning routine before you, and start eliminating things.  You realize that the more things you can eliminate from the routine, the longer you can stay in bed.  So you ditch your bacon, egg, and toast breakfast for a glass of juice and maybe a fruit if you got a minute to spare.  You consider wearing the same outfit as yesterday cause its still on the floor, and lord knows you haven't picked anything out the night before.  Then you get to the shower... there isn't a lot you can eliminate from that.  You know you need it, otherwise your likely to be pulled over for DUI cause your so sleepy that your eyelids can't make it any higher than the level of your pupils.  But as you consider your shower routine, you come across a not so necessary component.  Let me pause here for a moment... For those of you who are living full time with your significant other (damn you Laurie), or at the very least, getting to see them every day, you have not been able to benefit from what I am about to disclose... but for the single ladies, or those like myself... we've been enjoying an extra few minutes of sleep for quite some time.

You see, when you are not sharing a bed with someone, or the chances of that happening are so slim you don't even consider the possibility, then there is a part of your shower routine that can be eliminated - Shaving!  I mean, lets be honest here, if you could sleep an extra five minutes, are you honestly gonna tell me you won't take it??  And with the cold weather moving in ever so quickly that little extra layering keeps you from freezing your butt off as you walk across the parking lot to work.

But lets not get outa hand... I mean, if my pant leg happens to breach the top of my sock and skin is exposed, don't expect to see something that resembles Chewbacca.  Sure, I'll drop my shaving routine here or there for the benefit of a little extra shut-eye, or because I know the instant I get outa the shower and into the cool fall air, I'll immediately get goosebumps and my ever so soft legs are gonna feel like sand paper anyway... I'm just clearly pointing out, that for the greater part of the last 10 months I've been able to enjoy this simple pleasure, and will continue to enjoy my built in leg warmers for another few days :)
