I'm 5'3", but at least I'm taller than my mom & sister who are 5'1"!!! That's all I have to brag about, everyone else I know is taller than me, so I keep that over their heads... literally!!!! hahaha :-)
Well at 5' 0'' I guess Peppergirl and I tie for the shrimpette award. Actually I heard on the radio a few weeks ago the the average height for women is now 5' 5"...guess with all the hormones in our food. My fraternal twin sister is 5' 6"...I always tell her she got the height, I got the brains! As a concilation prize I've got great legs, thin ankles and well defined dancer's calves....all those years of pounding the halls in the hospital paid off!
I was in a car accident 4 years ago & broke my left ankle... can't wear anything over 2" & that's only if it somewhat "platform-y" :O( Man, I miss my high heels!
