On being tall

I'm fairly tall. I'm six feet tall. Well, almost 6. I'm about 1/2 inch shy of being 6 feet tall. When I was single if I met a tall guy I'd say I was 6 feet, if he was shorter I'd say 5' 11". I was always on the back row of my class pictures at school. I am pretty sure every single year, but I'd have to check first. I like being tall. It's harder for me to get in small spaces than more petite girls, but I'm used to it. I don't really have to go in small places a lot. But I do have to reach high a lot, so that comes in handy. I used to be petite. When I was 10. Does petite mean shorter or small frame? Sometimes I wonder when I see "petite" pants that seem bigger (not longer) than mine. If petite means short, well then, I've never been petite. Then I got older, then I had babies, then I got stressed, then I ate junk to deal with my stress. Now I'm not petite, but I'm still tall! I saw a very tall woman at WalMart last week. I felt short compared to her. She was at least 6'4". It was awesome. I wrote this because I was browsing online at shoes and I saw some big wedge heel shoes. Totally cute. I am not getting them though. Not because I'm so freakishly tall already, but because I am afraid of my ability to walk in them. I think I'd fall flat on my face. I remember just after high school going on a trip to California with a friend and a couple married friends of hers. One of the friends asked my pants size. I always wore mens sizes back then and I told her my size. She kind of gasped and said, "My HUSBAND wears that size!" She was kind of freaked out. I didn't care because she was heavy. I wanted to say, "yes, and you are fat. I'm not sure what your point is." But I didn't say that. I was thin at the time, at least 50 pounds lighter than I am now. So I just bought a bunch of clothes online. I decided I need to buy more clothes. I can never find pants long enough. Have you ever seen cute pants and you ask the lady where she got them? I did that today in the parking lot of my husband's work. They were super cute pants. Also, I have a lot of ear wax in my ears. So much that I couldn't hear well from my right ear. I went to the doctor today and they pulled some out and flushed some out. It was incredibly painful. Probably the worst pain I've ever felt. I must be totally wimpy, but it was horrible. Worse than my post c-section pain, worse than my other post-surgery pains. I've felt contractions, and I hated them. But I'd rather have contractions than have wax yanked out of my ear.
