I have been 5'4" most of my adult life. The last time I measured myself I was in my 20's and I was exactly 5'4".
Last night at work, I was kidding around with one of our Safety Inspectors.. and he kept calling me shortie.. I kept telling him I'm not short, I'm
5'4 3/4". He decides he is going to measure me, cuz he thinks I'm stretching the truth.. ok.. I say to him, I am stretching it a little bit.. I just added the 3/4 for good measure, but I AM 5'4".
He grabs my shoulders, and backs me up to the wall, tells me to take my shoes off, and marks the wall where I stand. We get out the tape measure, and it measures 5'2".
I told him that can't be right, measure again.. so he does.. Yep.. I'm 5'2".
I'm shrinking
Over the course of 20 years I have shrunk 2 inches. That is an inch every 10 years. Now if I live to be 80 (which is highly doubtful) but if I do, then that is 4 more inches I will shrink, then I will be a whopping 4'10"
I have always taken pride in the fact that I am the tallest person in my family.. now I'm shrinking into short people land.. I wonder if the rest of my family is shrinking? That way at least I could still be the tallest one!
Forbidden Fruit Syndrome... by ndpendentlady44

What is it that makes us humans go through this?
We see something we want.. and knowing we can't have it makes us want it even more.. Thus entering the
Forbidden Fruit Syndrome.
Then if by chance we get it, we find that we really didn't want it as bad as we thought we did.
The Forbidden Fruit Syndrome.. it's just a vicious cycle...

I have been single for a long time now.
Last night I lay bed thinking about all the things I miss about being in a relationship...
I miss being held while I sleep..
I miss cooking for someone..
I miss having someone stroke my hair..
I miss giving him a massage..
I miss cuddling up on the couch to watch a movie..
I miss the laughter..
I miss his touch..
I miss debating..
I miss good conversation..
I miss helping him attain his goals..
I miss making love to him into the wee hours of the morning..
I miss the companionship..
THEN.. I got to thinking about all the things I like about being single...
I like going when I please..
I like going where I please..
I like not having to answer to anybody..
I like having my space..
I like spending my money on what I want to spend it on..
Not near as long of a list as what I miss..
Hope I don't remain single for the rest of my life.. Cuz singledom is really starting to Suck!
