Up, Up and Away!

You guys.

Something important happened this weekend.  Actually, several important things happened this weekend, but there will be an organized, itemized blog post describing them all once they have all been thoroughly sorted out and I can type with two hands instead of using one to knock on wood the entire time I type.

ANYWAY.

This weekend - I grew an inch.  Yes, that's right.  My entire life (well, since I was 14 and stopped growing), I have been 5'6".  Quite literally, every time in the past 4-5 years that someone has asked me how tall I am and I tell them, they say something along the lines of, "Wow, you don't look it, you look much taller!"  I smile and nod, and think something along the lines of, "My goodness, your eyes must be far more accurate than the measuring tool at my doctor's office."

So this weekend, my friend got fed up with the whole argument, lined me up barefoot against the wall, penciled a mark at the top of my head and I AM FIVE FEET AND SEVEN AND ONE QUARTER INCHES TALL.

(I think that quarter inch is just as exciting as the full inch before it, by the way.)

So, that was my exciting weekend.

Anyone else experience any recent bodily discoveries that blew them away?  (Let's keep this G-rated here, people.)
