i freaking love to take long showers. i hate to wake up most mornings, and the only thing that can really get me going is a nice shower. i’m not a coffee guy (heretical, i know), so i can’t rely on caffeine. i need a shower.

i’ve recently discovered the phenomenon of the “cold shower.” i used to totally diss the cold shower, saying “why would ANYONE want to get in a COLD shower!?!? that is CRAZY.” i guess i’m crazy now, because i’ve taken more cold showers in the past month than the rest of my life combined. most of the cold showers happen post-yardwork, but still, i CRAVE them. honestly, it could have something to do with the summer weather never wanting to drop below a hundred, but i’m okay with it.

i’ve also got really opinionated about my hatred of really soft water. we’re in indiana right now and some random hotel, and it literally took me 30 minutes to feel like i got the soap off my body. i hate feeling slimy. while hard water leaves annoying stains on the grout in my shower, it makes me feel SO clean. i don’t want to feel like a frog. ever.

so, all of this shower talk has led me to this. i just bought the most amazing shower head in the whole world. yes. no lie. the best shower head in the world.

we were at a student life camp in daytona a few weeks ago when i used a shower with the “wonder shower” showerhead. immediately i started freaking out. i had to have it. luckily for me, there was a website printed on the side of the showerhead (BRILLIANT IDEA MARKETERS! if you know that people are gonna want it, flaut the site!). right after getting out of the shower i went online and bought it.

a few days later, this telephone call transpires:

• anna: “did you buy a showerhead?”
• me: “YES!! does that mean it got in?”
• anna: “yeah, but i don’t get it. why did you buy a showerhead online?”
• me: “because it’s AWESOME.”
• anna: “uhh… okay…”
• me: “no! REALLY! I PROMISE! it’s the best showerhead EVER!”
• anna: “i’m going to hang up now.”

i love anna with all my heart, but she’s a bath girl. she never takes showers and i’m the sole user of the house’s shower. what makes the wonder shower awesome is not only it’s superior flow and pressure, but it’s extension arm that makes the water hit the top of my head rather than the top of my shoulder. BIG DIFFERENCE.

so what i’m trying to say is. i’m in love with a showerhead. it’s name is the “wonder shower”. GO LOOK IT UP AND BUY IT. you’ll thank me.

love,

mark
