Clever title incorporating "habit"

I haven't been taking my vitamins nightly. Then the next morning I realize that I forgot them AGAIN. You might ask why I don't just take them in the morning, but morning vitamins make me feel ill. Not sure how to solve this one. Maybe a checklist on the bathroom mirror? Hmmm

Progress is showing itself on all other fronts. I'm still procrastinating a great deal, which is due to my summer coming to a close as much as it is to a natural proclivity. I did my hair this morning; forced myself into the bathroom and made note of the time before and after - it took 20 minutes. Not bad.

Today I will accomplish an occasional habit, one that I'm actually pretty good at, having incorporated it into my life over the past 10 years. Every 4 to 6 weeks (admittedly less often in the winter), I wax my legs. I do this for three reasons: 1) Smooth legs feel awesome but 2) I have insane body hair that shaving just can't handle plus 3) I hate spending more than 10 minutes in the shower anyway because it is boring and the time is better spent on eating breakfast, amirite?

For those of you for whom shaving is just dandy, let me tell you about my life: Shave at 8am, stubble by 10am. And the hair is dark, dark brown, while my skin is translucent white, a combination that I'm pretty sure is punishment for some heinous crime in a previous life, or possibly just a result of Irish genes. Before waxing, my legs never, ever looked smooth or clean shaven, even immediately after a smooth, clean shave. Now, for merely an hour's work, I get to enjoy that feeling for up to a week before the wee little hairs start to sprout, which are sparse enough to ignore for several more weeks.

Waxing is just more efficient, and I love efficiency. (Probably because I procrastinate so much.) That's probably why it's stuck as a habit. Well, efficiency and the fact that I can watch a movie or Mythbusters while doing it. Yup, an exciting afternoon!
