Shower Time = Creative Thinking Time

At least for me it does. Please tell me I'm not the only one out there.

I choose to use my time thinking, not singing. I suppose it's because I can't sing well. I'm not sure if that means I think well.

The day my parents were coming to visit, I went through a long thought process in my head while I was taking a shower. See, whenever we have guests, they stay in Chatty's bedroom up on the third floor, which gives them a little privacy and also their own bathroom.

Well, about the time my in-laws left in January, we were putting up towel rods and fixtures. You know, since we'd been in the house for about a month and a half. I've shown you before, but this is what it looked like over Chatty's toilet.

These are items that I found 'wandering' in Ikea in their kitchen area, and they are fantastic solutions for our childrens' bathrooms. For the bath towel, we had to go back at a later date and get another short rod, since I guessed at the size and the longer one was too big (these are both short rods over her toilet; the other kids' bath has a short rod and a long rod).

The thing is, only one bath towel will fit on it well. I knew it was going to be tricky for my parents to both hang up their bath towels on that rod, so what was I to do?

And just as a little aside, this rod, or really anything else, wasn't up when my in-laws visited. I have no idea what they did.

So I remember these hooks I bought to go over the rods to hold hairbrushes. Except that when we tried to hang the hairbrushes they stuck straight out because the holes weren't the right size. I've had these little hooks sitting in a basket since then with pretty much no purpose. Until now.


Genius, wasn't it?!

Just in case you missed the earlier posts on my kids' bathrooms, here's a picture of the other one.

So are you a thinker or a singer?
