Confessions of a Short Girl

9.28.2010

1. Truth is blog friends, I stand a whooping 5 feet tall. 

2. I really would have liked to be at least the height of my mom which would have been 5'2". Was that too much to ask?

3. I'm short but I'm not younger than you. Please don't baby me.

4. If you can't hear me. Ask me to speak up. Do not bend over to get closer to my level. Old men I'm mainly speaking to you. Since you guys are the ones that usually drop down on one knee to speak with me. I already spoke with someone on one knee and I said yes. 

5. I have much appreciation for all the people that end up helping me reach items on the top shelves at the grocery. 

6. I still fit 'pretty comfortably' in most play places.

7. I have step stools stashed all around my house.

8. My best friend in high school promised to make or find me a step stool that would be able to fold and fit purse. Still wanting for it.

9. About a year ago, I was able to share my shoes with my flower girl from my wedding. Now, her feet are probably too big.

10. My head and/or shoulders aren't arm rests.

11. Shirts tend to fit as dresses these days.

I think I just fell in love with you.

I'm five feet tall, and my mom's five two. I didn't make it.

I have a stepstool in my closet and one upstairs by the shelves. People baby me and bend over to talk to me.

And sometimes use my shoulders/head as an armrest.

/tangent.

#10. My shoulders and head are not 'armrests'.

Aw. What a cute post :)
Most of my good friends are shorter than me, and some are as short as you!
I'm tall, but I'm little and skinny and I totally identify with your #6. My hubby was convinced last night that I could fit in our BEAGLE'S new crate. He badgered me so much that I gave in, mainly to prove him wrong and shut him up.
Well ... he was right. I fit. I was way scrunched ... but I fit. Crazy.

This is crazy! I am at a whopping 5'1 and a half. I count that half an inch, even though it probably isn't true. I feel you on all the confessions, ESPECIALLY on the being an armrest part. BIG SIGH. Glad someone could relate. :)

You're hilarious! I feel ya girl, I'm 5'3 now, but I didn't grow until my senior year of high school!

My boots are actually from famous footwear! Love a good deal :) Here's the link!

I'm 5 feet, too...on a good day. I'm with you on the shirts fitting like dresses. And don't even get me started on trying to find pants.
