Something wonderful has happened to my shower and I feel I must share it with everyone. As I preface, I must first explain that before this month, I took little pleasure in showering. I guess I always figured it was just something that one needs to do in order to maintain acceptable personal hygiene. But now my view has been radically changed - thanks to two changes to my bathroom. These changes while they may seem minor have dramatically improved my shower experience.
Change 1 - we bought a new shower head. I admit I have always be wary of these fangled shower heads with the revolving heads with multiple settings ranging from a showering mist to pulsing massage. Surely this is a waste of money, I would say in my utilitarian mind, how could it really be that great? But truly it is that great. Our showerhead before was a standard one that pounded the water hard on me. It didn't bother me too much until after Ellie's delivery when my body ached everywhere and taking a shower only seemed to increase the pain I was feeling throughout my body. I told Matt I wanted a new showerhead for Christmas and he delivered. Now, I can enjoy the showering mist and increase it to a pulsing massage if I want to. It's fantastic.
Change 2 - this is even more minor, but has also improved my shower experience. We got rid of our old shower curtain and bought a clear one. This coupled with our fabric shower curtain which is of the sheer variety allows much more light into the shower. Now I can see much better in the shower and just enjoy the warm mist coming from my new showerhead.
It's amazing what a quick trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond and $40 can do to make life that much better.

All true, but Shelly seems to leave the shower head on the most "normal" setting it has. Neither mist nor massage for her--just a nice steady (not too harsh) flow. Me, I like the massage.
