Shower.

This evening I sat and pondered the correct verbiage of "to shower." Yes, I do a lot of serious deep mental cleansing in the shower and this is what the depths of my brain were reaching tonight. Don't judge, sometimes random thoughts are the best thoughts.

Anyway, I've always been a user of "taking a shower." As in, "I'm going to take a shower," or "Get out of the bathroom I'm taking a shower!"

I've also heard "getting a shower," one of my personal least favorites. "Be right back I'm getting a shower," or "I've got to get a shower before I can go." (I always thought it should be getting in the shower, but I digress, wouldn't taking a shower - my favorite - be picking it up and moving it somewhere?).

And then the less popular (in my world, anyway) but still there, "having a shower." The one time I heard this it was something along the lines of "I'll be there after I'm done having a shower." Just sounds like too many extra words to me, but actually kind of makes sense when you think about it, at least more so than taking or getting...

So, the point of this, rather pointless post (hey, we're all entitled to one every so often) is because I've decided what I would like to say. I would like to cut it straight and to the point and use it as the word, in my opinion, was designed to be used. Showering. It is one of those words that can be both noun and verb. Like "bat." I'm holding the bat. I'm batting. I think showering is just sufficient to describe what you're going to be doing in the bathroom for the next 5-60 minutes.

Who am I kidding, I'll probably still say taking a shower. And waste those extra seconds with words just as I did writing this ridiculous post. Heh.

Hope everyone had a great Monday! No Moody Mondays (But Manic ones are fine!!)


PS While typing this I got slightly sidetracked by my rings picking up the light and sparkling in the reflection of the computer screen. I thought I was seeing sparkles but no it was just my rings, I have never noticed that before. Neat.
