Jan. 8th, 2012 04:01 pmYou know, it's not that I don't believe in recycling or conserving energy but I do think there is occasion to take that to the extreme. I bought a new kind of shampoo this week and I happened to read the label. On it, there was a little blip of information letting me know that my family could save $100 a year if we turned off the water while shampooing and conditioning.
...I prefer to think of it another way. For only one Ben Franklin a year, I can be HAPPY AND WARM in my shower, not dripping wet and cold for two minutes at a time! For crying out loud, the only time in the winter that I am ever actually warm is when I am in the shower and I dread getting out of it and into the cold air so very much. Once is bad enough but I am not about to do it three times to save 27 cents a day. Yeesh.
On a side note, an electric throw blanket is probably one of the best things I have ever bought myself. Twenty bucks for sweet, sweet electric warmth. Almost as good as a hot shower!
