Well, I accomplished half of my mission. I forgot to time my husbands, but I did time my shower this morning and it was right at 8 minutes. I'll be honest, that is A LOT better than what I thought it would be.
Just knowing I was timing it, I was thinking of what I could be doing differently. One thing I came up with was to wash my face in the sink, after I get out of the shower. That will save maybe 45 seconds or a minute? Hmmm. I was thinking 8 minutes was pretty good, but I'll be honest, I'm not sure about making it to 5 mintues.
Quick sidebar here: I've looked at some of the suggestions on other blogs. I've seen gems like "turn off the shower while you lather up your hair and body, then turn it back on to rinse"...um, no thank you. Can you imagine doing that in the winter?! Let's get real. This is what annoys me about so many of these Going Green blogs. Unless you are uber-dedicated and/or don't work outside the home, it's nearly impossible to achieve their standards of "green." Maybe I'll never be a nice, deep forrest green. I can be happy with chartreuse. I just want to keep it real, folks.
Okay, well, I'll take out my face-washing and try to streamline the shower process and see where that leaves me tomorrow...I'm always game for a challenge =)

Maybe I'll time my showers for the next week....though I'm very guilty of taking a bath every night with my beer :( I do recycle my beer bottles though so does that go in my favor?
Definitely, lol! It's amazing how faster my showers are, just knowing there's a clock on me!
I don't think I could shampoo twice, condition, exfoliate the bumpy bits and shave the fuzzy ones in 5 minutes, it would take multi-tasking to a whole new level. How about if I make DH take a 2 min shower, can I have his minutes lol
Shampoo twice? Don't you know that "lather, rinse, repeat" was a phrase invented to make shampoo companies money?! ;) I'll deign to allow you ONE of DH's minutes, but no more!
